To:-…. ALL WHO VALUE THEIR COUNTRY’S HERITAGE. …..

Visit  www.jimna.bravehost.com  to view the Historical significance of Australia’s only Heritage listed Fire Tower and all previous news updates concerning the public campaign to preserve it. In brief, much has been achieved since initially halting demolition threats, culminating in negotiating the current Queensland State Government  moratorium, which includes an offer from Forestry Plantations Queensland (FPQ), to transfer the ownership of the Tower to the recently elected Somerset Regional Council (SRC). To enable the Jimna Fire Tower Action Group (JFTAG) to present a compelling case to SRC, it is imperative that  JFTAG’s submission is supported by the financial  capacity to obtain professional assessments of  vital  public safety and structural issues required to achieve our ultimate aim of  redeveloping the tower into a self funding tourist attraction/destination. The submission must also  demonstrate  overwhelming public  support for  this membership funding appeal, so as to deliver a strong and rock solid  message, while also  vindicating JFTAG’s long held belief that “PEOPLE POWER WILL SAVE THE TOWER”.

To;-… ALL SUPPORTERS AND THEIR FAMILIES  ……. May the many thousands of  families who have experienced the exhilaration of climbing this Heritage listed icon do so again, and their children, who’s lives will be enriched by the inspirational sacrifice of our Forestry pioneers such as the legendary Arthur Leis who, with his son Gary, built this wonderful example of human endeavour without the aid of modern day equipment.  May your  patriotism afford a  multitude of future visitors and tourists with the opportunity of admiring the panorama from the tower cabin, while  providing the ongoing operational  funding, that will preserve the  Tower for perpetuity. May the Jimna Fire Tower stand as a future symbol of our respect for Australian Heritage and our willingness to preserve it. May you and your friends add your  shoulders to the campaign  wheel, by promptly responding to this impassioned plea to become a
FRIEND OF JIMNA FIRE TOWER.
