The team was hoping to meet with local residents, however the incessant wet weather didn’t provide the best setting for our popular information stalls. Regardless, resources in several languages were collated and presented to Shane Li, who agreed to help disseminate the information to all residents.
Senior Constable Bree McDonald was also on hand to liaise with the manager and stressed the need for communication between all stakeholders on any activity.
“Our area is quite safe and today’s visit simply supports the good work being done in the field of crime prevention,” Senior Constable

The Latest Newsletter
A lot of unexpected things have happened since we sent out our last regular newsletter, and that’s putting it mildly! Sending out a “normal” newsletter when it was due in April was the last thing on our minds, to be honest! At that time we were still reeling, among other things, from the suspension of public Masses and one of the strangest Holy Week observances with our parishioners unable to attend. We certainly hope we won’t go back to those circumstances, and we pray for those parts of our country and world that are still seriously affected by the pandemic.
Over the past weeks and now months, we’ve seen the gradual easing of restrictions here in Queensland. It was a delight over recent Sundays to hear chatter outside the church after Mass. There were actually enough people to have chatter! It’s a long way from our bursting-at-the-seams High Mass with the long morning tea afterwards, but at

Is this your watch?
On Tuesday, July 14, an Emporio Armani watch was located in a garden bed outside shops at the corner of Illaweena and Beaudesert Road, Calamvale.
The finder has since handed the watch into Police at Browns Plains Police Station.
The watch has a silver metal band and dark coloured face.
On closer inspection of the watch, police noticed it had been engraved on the back with a personal inscription that would mean something to its rightful owner.
Do you recognise this watch?
Police are hoping to reunite the watch with its rightful owner.
If this is you, please attend the Browns Plains Police Station with identification and proof of ownership.
If this watch is yours and has been purposely discarded, please also contact police to inform the watch can be disposed of with appropriate proof of ownership.
Police would also like to thank the finder for handing in this item.

NSW areas added to Queensland border restrictions
New South Wales areas have been added to Queensland border restrictions following the declaration of two new COVID-19 hotspots today.
From midday Tuesday, July 14, anyone who has been in the local government areas of Liverpool or Campbelltown in the past 14 days will not be able to enter Queensland.
The whole state of Victoria also remains a declared COVID-19 hotspot.
Queensland’s border restrictions mean people who have been in a COVID-19 hotspot within the last 14 days will no longer be able to quarantine in Queensland and will be turned away at the state’s border.
Queensland residents who have been in a COVID-19 hotspot can return home but will be required to quarantine in government provided accommodation at their expense.
The Chief Health Officer declared the New South Wales areas as hotspots following a public alert of multiple cases of COVID-19 being traced to the Crossroads Hotel at Casula.

Birds of a feather, back together
On Saturday, officers were working in Solway Street, Carina when they noticed a little budgie all by himself.
Without feather ado, officers smuggled him away to safety and took him to the station.
Bird on the street is that he was very spoilt while he was waiting to be pecked up.
We are pleased to let you know that ‘Patrick’ the budgie has returned to his home where he shares a cage with his best mate ‘Happy.’
Thanks to the officers who did an im-peck-able job at looking after Patrick.
