Spring Mountain State School cultural workshop – Art reveal!
Following up from the story in our summer community newsletter, we are pleased
to share the work of First Nations artist, Libby Harward and Spring Mountain State
School students with you below and on our front cover!
In case you missed it, in November, students took part in an art workshop where they
learnt about the Indigenous history of White Rock - Spring Mountain Conservation
Estate and the First Nations People’s traditional custodianship of the land.
We’re thrilled with the results and are excited to display the art in the community! The
first installation is 28 metres of banner mesh along the Dublin Avenue fence line of
Spring Mountain State School (left). Over the coming weeks you’ll see some traffic

catching season wraps up
Over summer the Springfield Lakes Nature Care toad
catching group have caught close to 1700 toads!
The monthly events have had a great local turnout, with
59 volunteers, including the local scouts, putting on
gloves to help reduce toad numbers in the area.
Organiser of the monthly meets, David Manning, said
that they’ve noticed an increase in native frog species
which could be attributed to the collection work done in
previous summer seasons.

Greater Springfield Sports AFL Club were thrilled to
host the Brisbane Lions to the new Springfield Central
Sports Complex in February as part of an AFL Auskick
Clinic.
Club President Luke Playfair said that it was fantastic to
see the Lions in town and host them at their club’s new
home ground.
“There were plenty of fans eager to meet some their
favourite players, get photos and autographs as well as
gain some new skills on the field,” Luke said.
This year is an exciting year for the Springfield Central
Sports Complex with six local clubs calling this new
facility home. This $56.2 million, 22.5ha sporting
complex features 16 netball courts, eight tennis courts,
