October is Pink Ribbon month - or Breast Cancer Awareness Month - and a timely reminder for women aged 40 and older to get checked.

Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australian women, and the risk of breast cancer increases greatly after the age of 50.

Regular checks are important, as finding breast cancer early means there are more treatment options.

BreastScreen Queensland provides free breast screening to women who are 40 and over and haven't noticed any changes to their breasts.

Most women aged 50 to 74 should have a breast screen every 2 years.
Some women will need to have a breast screen every year, due to family history or other reasons. BreastScreen Queensland will let you know if you need an annual check.
One normal breast screen result doesn’t mean you’ll never get breast cancer. Keeping on top of your regular checks are important!

Dan and Nikki Macare of Mission Beach have adapted their new fence to make it wildlife friendly. Can be seen on the Mission Beach/ Tully Road opposite GLOWS.

Dan and Nikki worked with C4 and wildlifefriendlyfencing.org to make some small adjustments to their new fence which will be a big help to local wildlife.

Firstly they used Whites' Murray Barbless wire on the top strand (instead of barbed wire) - this will reduce the chance of bird and bat entanglement by over 90%.

Next, they adapted the design to create a "Cassowary Passage" which will allow cassowaries to pass between their property and their neighbours, keeping the vital wildlife corridor open between Wongaling Creek and Djiru National Park.

C4 and wildlifefriendlyfencing.org are working with local landholders to promote wildlife friendly fencing solutions. If you would like more information please contact Jenny McLean on 07 4091 2683 or go to www.wildlifefriendlyfencing.org
