Subscriber only After losing their entire stud herd in the devastating 2011 floods, a Coominya couple received an unexpected call from an animal pound 95km away in Brisbane - We have one of your cows . The call was about Red Gum Danette, a Murray Grey cow from Coominya, that was swept up in raging flood waters that floated her more than 100km from her paddock to Luggage Point on Brisbane s northside. It s the one animal that remained for stud cattle breeder Veronica O Shea after the perilous 2011 floods, and today, Danette continues to kick about - literally - in her Coominya paddocks.

Subscriber only I ve been reading a lot of Facebook forums that have been discussing the changes that have been happening around Savages Crossing and Twin Bridges and I felt the need to make a few points and clarify some misunderstandings within the community. I am the moderator of the Facebook group: Clean Up Somerset Waterways and Parklands. I m a big believer in being completely open about my intentions, and I am happy to have open discussions with people about my thoughts . as long as they are respectful and founded in knowledge and research. I have no ties to any particular political or personal agenda, other than trying to make sure these areas are safe, beautiful and protected.
