The Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service are reviewing management plans for 21 Protected Areas and are calling for public submissions. No changes to current management practices are planned but changes may be made after submissions have been considered.
We have been invited to suggest alterations to existing management practices and/or offer our support for the way these areas are currently being handled.
If any ACC members have an interest in the way Queensland National Parks and Protected Areas are being managed go to www.epa.qld.gov.au/parkplans to see which areas are affected. Submissions have to be lodged before 27 June so I suggest you make your own submission with a copy to me at

. At ACC we just don't have the time or resources to compile a submission from the club.
If it is decided, following the first round of submissions, that changes are to be made these will be drafted and further comment will be called for. But it's best to get in on the first round of consultation.
If you would like the full text of the email from Queensland Park email me at:

2008 Annual Muster Activities
Saturday, 14 June 2008
Ladies. The Annual Muster Committee needs your help! Members have asked us to make sure we include something for the female members in our programme and we are trying to do that. There is already a craft group at Casino Village and we have been invited to join them. But we need something else. We have a couple of ideas but we men really don't know how to get them off the ground.
Sign In for more details.

Queensland Caravan and Camping Show Roundup
Friday, 13 June 2008
Day 7 of the Show started with rain again, as had some other days, but instead of turning to blue skies, it was rain on and off, although not too often.
Today was the least attendance by far of all days, and had an early close of 4pm. By 2pm, we were standing around looking at ourselves, with hardly a soul to be seen. If it had not been for each other, we would have had few to talk to.
As far as the success of the Show? A resounding success!! Better by far than the Sydney Show, partly due to the learning curve from the Sydney Show, but also because of our location. We could have hardly asked for a better location. Heavily trafficked and the walkway narrowed so that it was easier to “capture” prospects to have a chat to. Add to that the willingness of our volunteers to promote the ACC, and their surprising “sales” skills and we had a pretty good recipe for success.
The future of the ACC is in our branches and I am delighted to welcome three new branches to our fold.
A very sincere welcome to each of them and my hope is that branch members get great enjoyment out of social activities as members of branches and also feel proud to be members of our vibrant and fast growing club.
This brings the number of active branches to nine. You can see the general location of each branch on the map provided in the About The Club section of the website.
