BUNYAVILLE FOREST
SINCE 1873
The Albany Creek lands to the south are a green belt, part
of the Brisbane Forest Park, but originally established as a forestry reserve
for cutting of timber for railway sleepers. This site for many years had a successful
nursery operation selling tube stock to the local community (now closed), since
1977, and has provided educational training about the environment from the Bunyaville
Environmental Centre (www.bunyavilleed.qld.edu.au)
For those big family picnic gatherings with a difference; for cycling and forest
walks; why not just ask by phoning 3227 7800.
It’s a truly peaceful buffer between the encroaching suburbia of Brisbane wot the towering stands of spotted gum, ironbark, white mahogany and tallow wood providing a wildlife haven.
a) The various levels of parkland maintenance provide open space from pre-school
friendly to natural bushland.
b) The centre continues to actively promote tree planning and bush care management.
With the 25-year anniversary of the Albany Creek High School in 2007, Peter
is campaigning to plant 2007 trees in the High School grounds and assist the
State School (since 1874) to replicate the existing memorial trees on the Albany
Creek Road Entrance.
Without the generous walking trails through our parklands (from River to Forest),
the historic and grand Bunyaville State Forest and the commitment of the ongoing
supporters of the Garden Club – Albany Creek is a far better place to
live.
Thank you to Robert Martin Collins who saw the dream to create National Parks
as opposed to Forestry Reserves and was the inspiration for Queensland’s
first National Park of 47,000 acres established in 1915, now know as Laminton
National Park.
Every tree counts – Use it or lose it.
September is judgement month for the Annual Garden Competition, again, with
Peter Campbell Realty as the main sponsor. We have to go back to 1961, when
Bert Cuthbert, Tom Simpson, Steve Leitch and Matt Campbell established the Albany
Creek Progress Association that, in turn, ran the Garden Competition for decades.
Still going strong under the auspices of the Albany Creek Garden Club, and Peter
Campbell as patron maintains an unbroken record of support. (The Club meets
monthly at the Uniting Church Hall. To find out more, email peter@petercampbellrealty.com)
The Albany Creek community and Pine Rivers Shire Council have always been at
