New toad trap wins national competition. :
"Katherine resident Paul Baker will have his cane toad trap commercially produced after taking out a national competition."
The government and Canberra Pest Control Research Centre sponsored this and it's excellent. Solve the problems. Work together, supply the motivation and incentive..et voilà. Truly, we need to manage these cane toads and here we are with a new trap.
I wish we could solve our road accident problems as well. We have been working on them and they were working but this last year the wheels have fallen off. The police must be beside themselves. We had it all together with the drink but don't drive, belt up and live and speed kills...it was all going so well. Now...what the police are saying is true, people just aren't listening and they are even driving without seatbelts. I feel so sorry for the ones who are first to the accidents because they have been pretty bad. How many more people have to die before we get it? No amount of flowers on trees and crosses on road sides have got through. Have they fed it maybe? We thought it would be a reminder but people just keep heading for those trees. It might be my imagination but a considerable no of 4WDs seem to figure in the accidents. Maybe it's just the ones I happen to see.
