Stories of the Pumicestone catchment

Weve been telling stories since the beginning of man. Stories connect us through time to each other. They tap into existing knowledge and create bridges to carry it. The Pumicestone Passage and its catchment is an extraordinary place, rich with beauty, productive soils, waterways and stories. A day of story-telling is being planned for the people of the Pumicestone catchment to share insightful stories of how their catchment has been managed, from Aboriginal times through to the present. By the telling of stories from moments or chapters in this colourful history, the Pumicestone catchment community will learn more about what has happened and why, and build an appreciation of catchment neighbours and practices, past and present. Do you, your family or your organisation have a story to tell? It may be told in narrative, pictures or song. It may be of farming, forestry, of conservation or shing, or any other glimpse into how the land and waterways were managed and the people behind it. It may be just a small story that paints a vivid picture in time. Friday May 2nd 2014 9am 4pm Beerwah Community Hall Peachester Road, Beerwah (next to the Library) RSVP for this event is essential.

There is a story in all of us.

Come and share yours. We would love to hear from you!

This day is part of the Healthy Country program, funded by the Queensland Government for the productive and responsible use of the States natural resources. The Healthy Country program aims to reduce nutrient and sediment run-off to the waterways through improved practices and strengthened integrity of the riparian and wetland systems.
