Karana Downs police saddle up and lend a hand
Recently the Australian Trail Horse Riders Association held a four day Easter camp in the Mt Crosby/Kholo region utilising local trails on Brisbane City Council and South East Queensland Water land, with 60 riders in attendance.
The Easter long weekend was also raising funds for Life Flight.
Senior Constables Taneeca Maxwell and Angela Thompson from the Karana Downs Station assisted the riders safely across the Kholo Bridge.
The officers both demonstrated great appreciation for horses on the road, and care and concern for the riders safety.
The Australian Horse Trail Riders Association are most grateful to them for helping out on the day.
The “can you hear me?” phone scam
Like every one else – I read the news. The “can you hear me?” phone scam has reportedly been prolific in the United States and the United Kingdom since very early in 2017.
Weeks ago I was interested to read that the phone scam had hit Australia’s shores.
I just had lunch with one of the Mackay police station’s Volunteer in Policing who received a “Can you hear me?” phone call at their home number on Monday April 24!!
What do you need to know? Victims receive an unsolicited phone call (business or home number) … after you answer, the scammer will simply say “Can you hear me?” several times. Most people say “yes”.
The scammer then ends the call. It is believed that the scammer is recording your “yes” response and that this recording is being used to authorise payments or charges – in your name!!! Good luck disputing or contesting the payment or charge
