Road Subsidence Alert - Florence
Terrace
Subsidence
has occurred on Florence Terrace, just past Eastern Wharf steps and
poses potential danger to vehicular traffic and pedestrians.
The
SIRFB, Community Vehicle drivers, contractors and residents who access
their homes via this section of road have been advised. A
resident has
put a couple of milk crates and a white hessian bag on the roadway.
Council has been advised and a request made for them to investigate the
extent of the subsidence as soon as possible.
The Church
Point Ferry Service is proud to announce that with your help we have
removed 40 tonnes of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
To celebrate we
will be giving away 40 spotted gum saplings to the first 40
passengers on national Tree day, Sunday the 31st of July. That is one
tree for every tonne of carbon dioxide removed.
Living in Spotted Gum Forest
Scotland Island and the western foreshores of Pittwater are spotted gum
forest, which is an endangered Ecological Community. In view of the
small size of existing remnants, the Pittwater Spotted Gum Forest is
likely to become extinct.
- Value natives on your
block and maintain a diverse community
- Save your natural soil
profile, it contains dormant seeds that can regenerate naturally
- Let natural mulch
reduce erosion and retain moisture
- Encourage regeneration
on your block - is there room for a Spotted Gum or two?
- Identify, control and
remove weeds
- Plant local natives
associated with Spotted Gum Forest
- Limit the use of
fertiliser - it encourages weeds.

Pittwater Council Website.

Small row boat drifting somewhere!
In the night of Monday 18 July, my children's beloved small row boat
called Bim Bim went adrift with high tide. The
rolex and oars were left in the boat as well.
Has anybody seen it passing by?
Please call Anne on 9999 4002 if you have any information.
Thanks!
A BIG THANKS!
Lulubelle and family would like to thank Scotland Island’s excellent
‘First Response Team’, especially Ian White and Wayne Gluyas, who
looked after Lulubelle and helped to get her to hospital after an awful
fall and unconsciousness last Monday.
Our Thank You also extends to the rest of the wonderful Paramedic Team
and the lovely Water Police (sorry, can’t remember all your names) who
were all so helpful, kind and calm at this for us very stressful time.
Lulubelle is home and recovering well, and we are so very grateful for
your help and support.
Camilla, Cliff, Lulubelle and Miles
