We’ve had a few people contact us about getting locals together on the issue of cars racing around the neighbourhood late at night etc. and what can be done about the problem.
So here is an open thread to let people discuss further.
Someone has contacted us through the site with the following question:
i would like to know about the types of wildlife (plants and animals) found in the carindale area.
a list and a short description for each would be much appreciated. I am doing a report on wildlife in brisbane. Thankyou.
A kangaroo went past me when I was walking through the bushland near Scrub Road, I saw a bush turkey run across the road, and a dead snake just up the road … but aside from that I don’t think I can be a great deal of help!

A local resident has sent through this question:
I am a resident of the Carindale hills estate. I want to renovate my retaining wall and am having a problem identifying the type of blocks used on Greendale Way at the corner of Ridgeview St. Can you tell me the name of hte commercial retaining wall bricks used in htis spot?

As you can see, Carindale Connect is now using a blog. We really should have done it from the start, as the site has become more than just a listing of events.
We moved some of our stories from the previous news section into the blog. The discussion from the Scrub Rd extension and the Fig tree removal are still on the non-blog section of the site. Future discussion of these issues will now take place on the blog, but they will be important to see in the context of the earlier discussion. Read the rest of this entry »
Our neighbours in Naretha Street had some items, including their wallet, cards etc taken from their house while they were home. Their dog was even in the house.
