As I See It

Welcome to the Christmas (December / January) issue of the Basin Bullet. A little thin this month owing to DCQ folk disappearing on annual leave. The February issue of the Bullet will be back full bore with recipes, art and craft and personality profiles once more.

Not that there’s any lack of reading in this issue. We attempt to get a regional take on what the new Federal Industrial Relations legislation will mean to people in the Desert Channels Region.

We take a peep at where the big dreams of nationalistic development projects have gone – projects like the Bradfield Scheme. As a nation have we lost the ability to dream? Or are we just maturing into a responsible, grown up nation?

We have the usual roundup of what’s happening in Desert Channels Queensland including a look at the production of the latest DCQ video.

It’s summer time and the reptiles are out and about – Steve Wilson introduces us to that controversial resident of the region – the Mulga Snake, erstwhile known as the King Brown.

And there is some Christmas fiction reading with the latest contribution from our own Nonnie Mouse – ‘The Christmas Wish’.

There are busy times in the DCQ offices at present, with much shuffling of office space to fit in quite a few new faces as the structure is streamlined to more effectively supply services to people and organisations within the Desert Channels Region. We will meet some of these new people in the January Bullet.

So from all at DCQ a very merry and peaceful Christmas to all and all the best for the New Year. See you in 2006.
