CHINCHILLA

DISCOVER WHY LOCALS LOVE CHINCHILLA

SO MUCH FUN : Celebrity chef Miguel Maetre, from "The Living Room", heads down the Melon Ski run at a great rate of knots at the Chinchilla Melon Festival.

FOR locals who have long-lived in Chinchilla, there are many aspects of this beautiful town which drew them in.

From schooling through to weekend activities, Chinchilla boasts an incredibly warm and welcoming community and offers the perfect environment in which to raise a family.

Though modernity has brought enormous developments in the last decade, an old heart still beats in this town.

The word Chinchilla was derived from the Aboriginal word for cypress pine, Jinchilla, after explorer Ludwig Leichhardt stopped here in October 1844.

A monument in his honour can today seen in the Pioneer Cemetery on the busy Warrego Hwy, but it bears remembering that until 1877 there was no township at all.

The first major development was the railway.

Built in 1878, the rail carted livestock, timber and grain out, and bringing in passengers seeking their fortune.

It was a critical period of growth for the town.

The peak number of passengers using the train was in 1949,

when 9569 tickets were issued. To accommodate families making homes in the area, Chinchilla State School was built in 1883 to educate 31 pupils.

By 1913, the number of students attending the school had increased to 102.

The Chinchilla Shire Council was inaugurated in 1912 with the first chairman being Mr L.L. Atkins.

Dairying was once a large industry in the area with the first butter factory built in 1910.

In 1939, more than three million pounds of butter was produced locally.

Primary production has always played a huge role in the Chinchilla shire and remains that way today.

Along with dairying giving the town a name, Chinchilla is also famous for its melons and is a renowned spot for fossicking, fishing, bushwalking and camping.

Producing 25 per cent of the country's watermelons, rockmelons and honeydew melons. Chinchilla is the undisputed

melon capital of Australia.

Nothing captures the strong community spirit of this town better than the biennial 'Chinchilla Melon Festival'.

If you’re not a skier, there's always the hilarious melon bungee, melon eating, pip spitting or smashing competitions.

There are also plenty of other great attractions on offer in Chinchilla.

The cultural centre, art gallery and historical museum loaded with steam engines and sawmill artefacts has something for each and every family member to enjoy.

Experience the night sky and stars from within a swag on the banks of the Condamine River and Charleys Creek, and throw in a fishing line at the Chinchilla Weir for (almost) guaranteed freshwater golden perch and jewfish.

Other things to see and do in Chinchilla include the wildflowers in the Barakula State Forest from late winter into spring, beautiful petrified wood from the area and the excitement of the Chinchilla races.

DID YOU KNOW?

■ Chinchilla is 302 metres (not quite 1000 feet) above sea level.

■ The area produces a quarter of all melons grown in Australia.

■ The local Indigenous tribe is the Barangun people.

■ Explorer Ludwig Leichhardt named the area in 1844 after the local Aboriginal name for the native cypress pines, ‘jinchilla’.

■ The Barakula forest, just 23 km from the town, is the largest natural state forest in the southern hemisphere.

■ The Chinchilla wattle is a rare variety of acacia and can be found in the Barakula Forest.

■ Driving along Auburn Road to the forest, you will pass several historic landmarks, including Australia’s first oil bore and

the dingo barrier fence, which features sonic deterrents.

■ Local legend has it that when an application was made by Matthew Goggs for Chinchilla Station, the Sydney Registrations Office changed the name from Jinchilla to Chinchilla.

■ The creek at Leichhardt’s campsite was named Charley’s Creek after the explorer’s top Aboriginal tracker, known as Charley Fisher.

■ The Chinchilla Amateur Picnic Race Club was formed on November 17 1959. The first race meeting was held on April 30 1960, racing for a trophy valued at 15 pounds. The club is now known as Chinchilla Race Club. Chinchilla races are held four times per year and have the biggest field of starters per race.

■ World famous film producer George Miller hails from Chinchilla, as do singer/songwriter Pete Murray and football great Jack Gleeson.

ChinChilla – an affordable friendly town

Chinchilla is approximately 300 kilometres north west of Brisbane situated on the Warrego Highway in the heart of the Surat Basin. Just a comfortable 2 hours to Toowoomba and located within about 4 hour drive of many major destinations.

Traditionally a rural based township reliant on pastoral and various broad acre grain cropping, cotton, melon growing and timber the town in the past decade has seen significant changes with the development of power stations, coal mines and the coal seam gas industry. Currently the Western Downs Regional Council is seeing a significant number of development applications to build Solar Power projects due to the major investment by Powerlink within the region.

Cattle Feedlots are expanding their operations and herd numbers. With the new Brisbane West Wellcamp Airport just on our doorstep the future for the region is very promising.

The town underwent substantial population growth from 2009 to 2013 off the construction phase of the CSG industry and numerous other projects. New subdivisions were developed and homes built. With the cross over to the CSG Production phase, the housing market has come off its highs and now represents very affordable living for younger families and retirees looking to find a quieter more relaxed lifestyle or base from which to travel. Current population is approximately 5,500 in the town.

when it comes to having a passion for one’s profession and a desire to succeed, you would struggle to find someone more committed than Surat basin real estate’s warren daniells.

The saying ‘do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life,’ couldn’t be more fitting for Mr Daniells and his chosen career path, with his enthusiasm for the industry evident in all he does.

After purchasing a cattle property near Gympie in 2002, Mr Daniells was approached by the selling agent to work for him in his business, a nod to his natural selling demeanour and undeniable knack for the profession.

“I decided to join Petersen’s First National Real Estate and entered a Real Estate Traineeship,” Mr Daniells said.

“After relocating to the Western Downs I opened Chinchilla First National Real Estate, before selling my share to my business partner.

“Then, in 2010, I opened Surat Basin Real Estate (SBRE) with Pam Moloney who was one of my trainers at the Sunshine Coast REIQ. “SBRE has grown to be Chinchilla’s largest agency. We have a quality team of professionals that are passionate and love the industry.”

Mr Daniells is now specialising in commercial and industrial leasing and sales, an area in which he has a vast amount of personal experience.

“I’ve owned a number of Supermarkets and other businesses over the years and been a tenant and owned commercial property,” he said.

“I was on the board of retailers that launched IGA here in Queensland.

“Commercial and industrial sales and leasing covers such a vast array of property types such as retail, office, industrial and much more.”

With a business ethos built on a model of constant reflection, analysis and improvement, it isn’t surprising SBRE has grown so rapidly and is now such a strong force in the market.

“We are always looking at ways to improve our service and systems and use technology to provide all clients with the best possible service.

“Our sales team have many years of experience and knowledge of the local market.”

With a keen business eye and a desire to continually upskill, there is no doubt Mr Daniells’ foray into the arena of commercial and industrial leasing and sales will emulate his previous successful endeavours.

MILES

CELEBRATE PAST IN MILES MILES Historical Village and Museum is one of Australia’s leading regional museums.

It was officially opened in 1971, and over the years has developed into one of the premier tourism attractions within the region.

The Village was the vision of some very inspiring community members who wanted to create a place where history could be preserved in a street scape style for one and all to enjoy.

There are currently more than 30 buildings with amazing collections and links to a bygone era.

Some of these include the shell house, coach house, blacksmiths, general store, post office, bakery, Union Hotel, barbers, chemist, the beautiful Rose Cafe, a bank, hospital, and a butcher.

The Village is open from 8am to 5pm every day, except Christmas Day. Just up the highway towards town is the region’s premier art gallery and library, Dogwood Crossing.

Dogwood Crossing, Miles, is a centre for community, creativity and inspiration.

Offering a first-class regional art gallery, library, IT centre event space, workshop room and social history displays, Dogwood Crossing is the leading cultural institution for the Western Downs region.

The centre and its staff play a key leadership, advocacy and advisory role in the region’s arts and cultural development.

The innovative centre is strongly supported by the community it serves and is a destination frequently visited by travellers.

More recently, the services it provides have been taken up by transient workers, resource companies and new families to the area.

When it comes to natural attractions, the Chinaman’s Lagoon and Gil Weir just to the south of town on the Leichhardt Hwy should not be missed.

SO MUCH ON OFFER IN MILES MILES epitomises relaxed, country living.

From the down-to-earth locals, through to the community-spirited nature of the region — there is just so much to love about the great township of Miles.

The area was explored by Ludwig Leichhardt who, in October, 1844, named a tributary of the Condamine River, Dogwood Creek.

When the railway creek crossing was constructed and opened in 1878 by the Minister for Railways, William Miles, the settlement at the area was named after him.

The town had always been a thriving agricultural hub of sheep and cattle, but these days the market is dominated by several prominent stud cattle lines, and a strong cropping industry.

In recent years the town, which is 46km west of Chinchilla, has experienced an explosion of activity as a result of the coal seam gas industry with hundreds of new houses built along with several new motels and large worker accommodation camps.

The 2011 census listed Miles’ population at about 1800 people, however, the fluctuating nature of the CSG workforce means the area

FESTIVAL OF FUN: Miles' Beef Bells and Bottle Trees main festival parade always turns a crowd.

Page 8

could have a population anywhere between that number and thousands more.

A calendar favourite in the Miles district is the Beef, Bells and Bottle Tree Festival, a Biennial September showcase of community activities and events that capture the town’s living history, celebrate its relaxed country lifestyle, and provide ample opportunities for community and visitor involvement.

OPPORTUNITY ABOUNDS IN ROMA

DRAWCARD FOR REGION: The Roma Saleyards is the largest cattle selling centre in Australia. PHOTO: TOURISM QUEENSLAND.

â??

With new developments in both the private and government sectors happening all over the Maranoa, steady growth is a certainty.

THERE is no denying that times have been tough in recent years for many communities however, there is plenty of opportunity and growth potential in many south western towns, such as Roma.

Roma and the Maranoa have been and remain a hub for economic activity and growth in Regional Queensland.

The Roma Saleyards is the largest cattle selling centre in Australia, a long-time drawcard for the region.

With new developments in both the private and government sectors happening all over the Maranoa, steady growth is a certainty.

People looking to move to or invest in the Maranoa have plenty of reasons to be excited.

Roma is in a better position than many other regional areas and key industries are all strong, with businesses like Royal on 99 and refurbishments like MGA Insurance lighting up the main centre of Roma.

It has given the town a new spark and the excitement is palpable.

Record cattle prices and rain have meant graziers are doing better which brings trade to town.

Roma is in line for a new hospital in the next twelve months and a new fire station is already being built.

Both of which means more jobs in town and reinforces that Roma is a growing government hub.

It is a great time to live, work and invest in the Maranoa.

Commerce Roma is the region’s leading Chamber of Commerce with over 100 members and growing.

With a five year plan for the chamber and the economic community well under way, Roma is continually going from strength to strength.

Along with the strong business community, Roma boasts a great family freindly environment.

After a long day of working hard, Roma residents love nothing more than kicking back and enjoying one of the many activities available in this great region.

Maranoa PCYC For those of you looking for a bit of fun and fitness, the Maranoa PCYC is the way to go for all kinds of sports.

Started in 2012, the centre offers a variety of different services, from badminton to basketball to boxing and everything in between.

PCYC branch manager Sgt Greg Caletti said the centre had grown since its creation.

"By the end of December 2013 we had a membership of around 1000," he said.

"All funds generated through our PCYC go back into the PCYC through crime prevention programs and to provide a safe environment for our youth."

Sgt Caletti said the options for physical activity and fun were endless.

Community Arts Centre Looking for something to do with your hands?

Why not learn a new skill at the Community Arts Centre.

The Silversmiths Roma Group Inc. leader Helen McEwan believes working with silver is an enjoyable and rewarding hobby to take part in.

"I have a very stressful job that involves a lot of concentration and very long hours but coming down here just resets my mind," Ms McEwan said.

"And at the end of the day you get to take home a beautiful piece of jewellery."

The silversmith workshops operate every fourth Saturday from 9am-4pm and every Friday night from 6.30pm at Studio 2, Roma Community Arts Centre.

Pools The Denise Spencer Memorial Pool, named after the Roma Olympic athlete from the 1940s and 1950s, is open most of the year and runs classes and swimming squad for kids. There is also a water play parkat the pool which the kids are sure to love.

Walking and Parks The Adungadoo Walkway, which takes runners and walkers along the Bungil Creek through the middle of town, has plenty of greenery, BBQ areas and the famous Yarning Circle, used by the Mandandanji people for special occasions.

The walkway leads into the Big Rig Parklands.

DALBY

BUSINESS AND LIFESTYLE IN DALBY Dalby offers the perfect balance for families looking for a small town with big potential SITUATED in the black soil plains of the Northern Darling Downs, Dalby is a hive of rural enterprise.

The town got off to a good start in the 1860s, spurred by powerful local pastoralists seeking to establish a viable regional service centre.

The extension of the railway line in 1868 led to a boom in the town but significant settlement did not occur until soldier settlement after the First World War. The area is developing an energy based economy with a large coal fired power station, a number of coal mines and natural gas bores established to the west.

Industry includes large-scale engineering and support services for primary industries.

Agricultural crops include cotton, mung beans, sorghum, wheat, barley, sunflowers, chickpeas, and corn.

Dalby has a bustling sports scene with rugby league, rugby union, soccer, cricket, lawn bowls, croquet, golf, Australian Rules football, and tennis among the sports represented.

The gateway to the Surat Basin, Dalby has grown over the past decade along with the development of rich coal and gas fields in the area.

This population impetus has seen Dalby grow into the modern city it is today, offering up-to date essential services which include hospital and ambulance, private and state schools, agricultural college, TAFE, a newspaper, an aerodrome and churches.

Modern leisure facilities including an aquatic and fitness centres, racecourse — which hosts 12 meetings a year — art galleries, a good range of

retail shops, mall shopping, cinemas and a civic centre all add to the town’s advantages.

Celebrating Multiculturalism and Inclusivity, Dalby's Delicious and DeLIGHTful Festival is Dalby's signature festival taking place each August and people come from far and wide to enjoy all it has to offer.

Thomas Jack Park, situated on the edge of the town centre, is a good place to stop and stretch your legs.

With a choice of several cafes and coffee shops, seven pubs and two bowls clubs, you never want for anything in Dalby.

There is plenty of local history and culture on display at Pioneer Park Museum, with its wide range of exhibits.

Follow the Heritage Trail, which takes you past historic, late 19th Century buildings.

Close by is the Bunya Mountains National Park, offering a mild climate, stunning rainforests, giant bunya trees and a quaint village with plenty of guest houses and holiday retreats.

With temperatures at least five degrees Celsius cooler than the surrounding plains, come prepared with warm clothing, even in summer.

A short drive from Dalby is the tiny village of Jimbour, home to Jimbour House, one of the nation’s grand heritage homes.

A day visit to Jimbour House and its historic garden and history walk, armed with a packed lunch and accommodation booked in the Bunya Mountains, makes an ideal combination for a relaxing weekend getaway.

A BOOMING INDUSTRY LIVES ON THE beauty of the Dalby township is the many industries that thrive within the community and the various opportunities available to locals.

In recent years, Dalby has served as a major administrative centre for the oil and gas exploration industry in south west Queensland, but there is so much more powering its economy.

It also services a major power station at nearby Kogan Creek, and with the announcement of a new solar farm on Blaxland-South Rd, it is set to become an energy shire for Queensland.

Though coal mining has dropped off significantly, it still produces ethanol from sorghum at its United

Petroleum Bio Refinery – the first of its kind in Australia.

Historically it was a significant hub for agricultural products including pigs and sheep, and its cattle sale-yards have the second-largest throughput of cattle in Queensland, the town being well-positioned to service the whole state.

Dalby is also the largest grain receiving depot in the Queensland.

Crop products are many, including cotton, sorghum, wheat, barley, sunflowers, chickpeas, mung beans and corn, and two cotton gins are located close to the town.

BLACKALL

BLACKALL WOWS

AS FAR as friendly, local atmosphere’s go —you would be hard pressed to find one more welcoming than the spirit of Blackall.

This is due in part to the communities “salt of the Earth” folk and the peaceful and relaxed atmosphere of the town.

Blackall is located on the Matilda Highway and was named after Sir Samuel Blackall, the second Governor of Queensland.

Art holds a significant place in the Blackall story, and a visit will allow you to marvel at the renowned works of sculptor Richard Moffat such as the Eagles Nest, Circle of Friends and Roly Poly and a three metre high Bottle Tree by Adriaan Vanderlugt, all made from scrap metal.

Lifespan by Fredrick White is made largely from recycled bore casing, while Robert Bridgewater created the exceptional wood carvings “Wood, Water and Wool” and Jennie Scott’s Cutting Out depicts a rider and horse cutting out a steer.

Also, one is not to forget to check out the numerous murals created by local artist Bob Wilson which are peppered throughout the town.

The Don depicts wool being carted in the Blackall area in the 1920’s, and another exceptional piece lives at the Pioneer Bore.

Along with the town’s stunning art —Blackall is home to many other significant sights and people.

Blade shearer Jack Howe is renowned for setting the sheep shearing world record in 1892 at Alice Downs and he hailed from Blackall.

Officially putting the town on the map due to his achievement, Jack Howe shorn 321 sheep in seven hours and 40 minutes.

That incredible world record would go on to stand for another 58 years.

Blackall was also the first Outback town to start drilling an artesian bore back in 1885.

The historic Blackall Woolscour is the only wool-washing plant left fully intact in Australia and is an absolute must-see.

It is open seven days a week all year round with hourly tours and runs on steam from May through to August.

The Woolscour has one of the few remaining examples of a free flowing artesian bore.

Also, as many may already know, Blackall is home to the Black Stump, which was used for

❝

Blackall is home to the Black Stump, which was used for surveying purposes and permanently marks the original Astro Station established in 1887. surveying purposes and permanently marks the original Astro Station established in 1887.

Anything west of this point is said to be “beyond the black stump”.

In Shamrock Street you will find the Australian Labor Federation Memorial which commemorates the first meeting of the first shearers union in December 1886.

In Memorial Park is a statue of Major Edgar Towner who was awarded the Victoria Cross and the Military Cross in WW1.

A walk down Hawthorne Street will delight visitors when they stumble across the Masonic Lodge, built in 1908, and restored to its original condition.

Ram Park is another spot in the town which is well-worth a visit.

Boasting the famous “Big Ram” —Ram Park symbolises the importance of the wool industry to the town of Blackall.

A trip to Blackall would not be complete without a stroll along the Barcoo River.

Marvel at the stunning bird and wild life and take your time soaking in the sights.

Last but certainly not least, Blackall’s Aquatic Centre offers the perfect space to unwind after all of your sightseeing.

Boasting an artesian bubble-spa and 50m swimming pool —the Aquatic Centre is the ideal place to rest, relax and revive.
