Logan City has been my home now for the past 5 years. The city has two major economic hubs, one of which is Springwood.

A local postwoman’s Kyburz DXP 5.3. This Swiss electric bike was the first three-wheeler to be retrofitted for use by Australia Post. 6 years ago, the 7.0 Australia Post prototype rolled out, however, I still only see 5.3s in Logan, so I assume that is our current model.

I have a special kind of appreciation for public transportation. As the population of South East Queensland increases and the traffic becomes more condensed, we shouldn’t neglect the fundamental service that keep our roads safe and our pollution levels low. Between Gold Coast and Logan, the need for a more extensive public transportation system is imperative.

The Maltese cross has long symbolised medical support, tracing back to the 12th-century Order of Knights of the Hospital of Saint John, who cared for pilgrims under its banner. Centuries after the Knights left Malta, the island upheld their legacy during World War I, becoming known as the “nurse of the Mediterranean” for treating Allied casualties from Gallipoli. The emblem later became the official civil ensign of the Republic of Malta, and today this symbol of protection, honour, and bravery is proudly displayed by Australia’s ambulance service on their uniforms, vehicles, and stations. Including here, at the Springwood Ambulance Station.
