Honouring Darryl

Friends of loved community advocate Darryl Dickson are urging fellow locals to send Council an official letter of support to have a park named in his honour.

The late Darryl was an active member of Beaudesert Cycling Club since its inception and was actively involved with Beaudesert and Districts Little

Athletics, Little Athletics Queensland and Beaudesert Soccer Club for many years.

He led a full life in Beaudesert with wife Karen and daughter Mikaela before he tragically died in a road accident, age 50, while cycling with fellow Beaudesert Cycling Club members in November 2016.

Making bikes out of parts picked up at the local tip and swimming in the Logan River until dusk are among Mark Plunkett’s earliest memories of growing up in Beaudesert.

Family has always been the most important thing to Mark, who will turn 60 this June.

He’s the middle child of eight kids to Oliver and Betty Plunkett and grew up on the river at Bromelton across from the Beaudesert Race-

course.

Mark and wife Denise, who is also one of eight, raised their now adult kids Kayla, Olivia and James at Josephville and he counts becoming parents as the most defining time in his life.

Mark was on crutches with a broken leg when he married Denise at Tamrookum Church.

It was a hot day on 3 January 1987, and he was wearing bell bottom trousers to fit over the four pins and frame holding his leg together.

“Everyone had a ball, we celebrated in the old leagues club with

no air conditioning, it was 40 degrees, and they drank an 18-gallon keg before we even got there,” he said.

He had been off work since 26 November ‘86 when he got mixed up with a cranky bullock at the Canon Hill saleyards while driving livestock trucks for Jim Salisbury.

Mark, who did his mechanical apprenticeship at Beaudesert Motors before carrying livestock, went on to forge a career in the fuel industry after returning to work from injury.

Now, he and two colleagues head up national fuel distribution business Bulk Fuel Australia.

“I’ve always said every decision you make can change the course of where you go in life. If you’d said to me when I was at school, I’d be doing this, I’d never have believed it,” he said.

“Life takes you on a journey and throws up opportunities - you can take the opportunities or just sit still.”

In 1862, Thomas Plunkett and Maria Ryan survived a long journey from Ireland

aboard the Erin Go Bragh.

A trip which normally took 12 weeks took 25 weeks and 52 people died along the way.

Thomas and Maria - Mark’s great grandparents - married and lived at Waterford before coming to Tamborine. Mark’s grandfather Thomas Flood Plunkett took up property at Kerry.

Needless to say, Mark is related to a lot of people in Beaudesert and surrounds.

“There’s just this sense of family. We don’t live in each other’s pockets but it’s really special to have that family connection,” he said.

He finds satisfaction in giving back and is President of Beaudesert Historical Museum, President of the Heritage Truck Association Australia, Vice President of the Beaudesert Show Society and has been involved with St Mary’s school and parish over the years.

“If everyone sits back and does nothing, nothing will happen so that’s why I like to be involved and work with others to try and keep things happening.”

Max gets alpaca life membership

It’s not every day you get awarded life membership to your local alpaca farm, but cheeky local character Max Glenn has managed to achieve just that.

Kooralbyn resident Mr Glenn, 92, has an outing to Mountview Alpaca Farm at Canungra every Wednesday and has won the hearts of staff and creatures alike.

His delight was clear when he got a surprise visit from his favourite alpaca, Elvis, flanked by Noodle the alpaca and Steve Pack and Jordana Boike from Mountview Alpaca Farm.

Mr Pack said Mr Glenn had become like part of the furniture at the farm.

He presented Mr Glenn with a certificate of appreciation, a keyring and a life membership card entitling him to complimentary alpaca feeding.

The certificate said, ‘In recognition of commitment to supporting Mountview Alpaca Farm more than any other cus-

tomer and becoming Elvis’ favourite visitor of all time’.

Mr Glenn said Elvis always made a beeline for him.

“He’s so friendly and wants to put his personality forward - he’s got a good personality - and recognises me instantly every Wednesday when I come up,” he said.

“He gets a feed out of my hand, that’s why he recognises me - simple, isn’t it?”

His daughter Karen Cook said her father’s alpaca outings were a highlight of his week.

“Dad loves animals and likes alpacas, not that he’d had a lot to do with them before, and it’s worked out well for everybody,” she said.

“It’s not too far for him to travel, it’s a beautiful property and always a nice day.”

Mr Glenn lives with Mrs Cook and her husband Geoff and their menagerie of animals at their Kooralbyn property.

In his younger days, he was a stockman and then station overseer out from

Yunta in South Australia and did a bit of shearing before settling in Port Lincoln and getting work on the waterside as a wharfie, or ‘stevedore’. He trained racehorses for about 50 years, was a country race caller in South Australia and can

still put on his race calling voice at the drop of a hat.

Mr Glenn, who has been visiting Mountview Alpaca Farm for about four years, said the life membership meant a lot to him.

“It’s wonderful be-

cause you never know how long it’ll last, I might be gone by Christmas, but I’m still here now,” he said.

“Instead of sitting back going to ‘bye-bye’ you’ve got to keep active, otherwise you’ll just be a zombie.”

Students rally community generosity

Hundreds of students in Timor-Leste will receive pencil cases filled with useful items and plenty of goodwill through a community project led by McAuley College Beaudesert.

For 2023 MacKillop Day, students and staff from MacKillop House made up 210 pencil cases for a school in Timor-Leste.

In addition to their own fundraising efforts, they secured donations from Beaudesert Lions, Beaudesert CWA, local businesses, Scenic Rim Regional Council and local, state and federal political representatives.

The Beaudesert Bulletin caught up with MacKillop House Captains, Matilda Watterson and Elizabeth Fritter, to find out the reasons behind the project.

“It’s about never seeing a need without doing something about it, it’s very inspired by what

Mary MacKillop did,” said Matilda.

“On MacKillop Day, we talk about our Patron Saint Mary MacKillop and her life and what she did, so we focus on things like love and courage, and as part of that we have an ‘act of service’ project to help others,” said Elizabeth.

“It’s important to understand how your simple actions can make such a large difference, because something we might see as insignificant could be lifechanging to someone else and you never know unless you just do it.”

MacKillop Day, on 27 March, kicked off with a whole of school assembly at which MacKillop students showed videos of how others could help around the school and serenaded their peers with ‘All You Need is Love’, by the Beatles.

At the assembly, teacher Alice Carwardine shared stories from when she visited Timor-Leste,

including how students would still go to school despite their school buildings having no windows, no doors and sometimes even no teachers.

Everyone from MacKillop House wore their green shirts and ‘All You Need is Love’ rung out

from the school speakers as the school bell.

Each PC class was given pencil cases with pens, pencils, erasers, colouring sets, scissors, glue and sharpeners to organise and send overseas. They decorated postcards with an affirmation mes-

sage to go with the pencil cases, and there were also colourful handmade teddy bears donated by Beaudesert CWA. They rounded out their morning with a celebratory morning tea, games and decorating the footpath with chalk art.

LETTERS OF SUPPORT SOUGHT

Locals are pursuing their dream to honour one of Beaudesert’s best, the late Darryl Dickson, by having a park on Annabelle Way, Gleneagle named in his honour.

They are seeking official letters of support to Council by 21 April to bolster their bid to name it ‘Darryl Dickson Community Park’.

Darryl was actively involved in Beaudesert Soccer Club, Beaudesert Cycling Club and Little Athletics locally and at a state level, worked locally and was a loving husband and father to wife Karen and daughter Mikaela.

He was tragically killed in a road accident in November 2016 while out cycling with fellow Beaudesert Cycling Club

members.

A bicycle painted white beside a park bench near Waters Creek pays tribute to Darryl as a quiet place for his loved ones to reflect and ‘Razzle Dazzle – Every Life Counts’ signs across the Scenic Rim highlight the legal separation distances between cyclists and passing traffic.

His friends and family are now keen to honour his full and meaningful life with the naming of ‘Darryl Dickson Community Park’ for all to enjoy.

There are already strong letters of support from Beaudesert Cycling Club, Beaudesert Soccer Club, Beaudesert and Districts Little Athletics Club and Little Athletics Queensland, but letters of support from the community are being sought to strengthen the case.

“This is such a fitting tribute to Darryl, who was an advocate for the local community through his many volunteer roles,” said Karen.

“We would love this park to be named in his honour. Please send through your submission of support to council by the 21 April.”

Karen said it was about showing Council official

evidence of the community’s support.

“It’s really heartwarming to see people showing support on Facebook, but Council need to feel that heartwarming support too by being inundated with official letters,” she said.

“This would honour the generosity Darryl put into the community. He was very passionate and

very humble about what he did.”

Properly made letters of submission must include a first and last name, address, signature and what it is in relation to and be emailed to mail@scenicrim.qld.gov. au or posted to the Chief Executive Officer, PO Box 25, Beaudesert by close of business Friday, 21 April 2023.

Family dedicated to campdrafting

The Open Draft and special prize at the recent Beaudesert Campdraft recognise the dedication of a family to the sport.

The Don McGhee Memorial Open Draft and the Don McGhee Memorial Family Prize are named for the youngest of the three McGhee brothers, all well-known camp drafters in Central Queensland during the 1940s, 50s, 60s and 70s.

Along with his older brothers Bill and Jim, Don rode in numerous rodeos throughout the region, participating in many events including buckjumping, bullock riding, steer decorating, bull dogging and pick-up work.

But it was camp drafting which remained the brothers’ passion.

They worked together as a team, frequently

swapping horses and famously celebrating together in the evenings after the events concluded. They also donated and presented a variety of trophies.

Don McGhee’s camp drafting career spanned over 30 years.

One of his earliest recorded wins was the Emerald Open Campdraft, in May 1946. He was then aged 20 years.

Don went on to win various camp drafts held in Dingo, Duringa, Blackwater, Emerald, Bluff, Rockhampton and Twin Hills.

He rode many horses over the years but considered Monty to be his most outstanding horse - together they won 10 drafts in the 1960s.

Don’s proudest achievement was a first place on Monty in the Open Campdraft at Twin Hills in 1957. 2023 is a special year for the McGhee family,

with Don’s Great Grandson, Alexander Glynn McGhee competing in the Juvenile Category of the Beaudesert Campdraft.

Sixteen year old Alexander is new to the sport and said his horse, 20 year old Australian Stock

Horse Sammy, has been campdrafting longer than he has.

Sammy belongs to Alexander’s Grand-uncle, Michael Glynn McGhee, from Central Queensland. Alexander’s GreatGreat-Great Grandfather,

Francis Glynn Connolly was a member of the committee which met in 1889 to organise the first formally staged campdraft held in Queensland on 9 July 1889, at the old Gayndah racetrack.

Draft budget documents open for comment

Scenic Rim community members are being invited to have their say in Scenic Rim Regional Council’s financial planning for the coming year by providing feedback on the Draft 2023-2024 Annual Budget.

The draft Budget documents became available on Wednesday 5 April through Council’s online community engagement platform, Let’s Talk Scenic Rim.

Residents and business operators can also share their views at community consultation sessions to be held in April at Boonah, Beaudesert and Tamborine Mountain.

Scenic Rim Mayor Greg Christensen encouraged community members to get behind the Budget planning process that will see all

submissions received being tabled at its Ordinary Meeting on Tuesday 9 May before the Budget is presented for adoption in June.

“During the development of our Scenic Rim Community Plan 20112026, one of the key priorities identified by residents was the efficient and equitable delivery of affordable services that provide best value for money,” he said.

“This current community consultation is a golden opportunity for residents to contribute to the Budget process.”

The Draft 2023-2024 Annual Budget documents will include statements of cash flow, income and expenditure and Council’s financial position, as well as the proposed capital works budget for the coming

financial year and the 2023-2024 register of fees and charges.

Community consultation commenced on 5 April 2023 and will close on 3 May 2023.

Community members can provide their feedback online by registering on the letstalk.scenicrim.qld.gov.au/ platform or by attending one of the

three community consultation sessions.

These will be held on the following dates at these locations:

• Thursday 20 April at Boonah Cultural Centre from 5.30pm to 7pm

• Wednesday 26 April at The Centre Beaudesert from 5.30pm to 7pm and

• Thursday 27 April at Tamborine Mountain State School from 5.30pm to 7pm.

Once all feedback has been considered, the final 2023-2024 Annual Budget will be prepared and will be tabled for adoption at a Special Meeting of Council scheduled for 14 June 2023.

Family fun day delights

The first YACC Family Fun Day was a great success with organisers delighted with the attendance on the day.

YACC committee member, Julie McDonald estimated 300 - 400 people attended the day, enjoying a range of stalls and activities.

“It was about raising awareness that we are working towards a PCYC for the region,” said Julie.

“We tried to make it affordable for families, there was free music and entertainment.”

“The police were great on the day, we had a police car and fire engine open on site that kids

could look and crawl through which was very popular.”

Mick Moss from CM Productions provided sound equipment for the local bands organised by GTM Music Studio.

YACC President, John Powell presented an ATV to Detective Senior Sergeant Ken Murray on behalf of Logan Police.

The YACC committee have fundraised tirelessly to raise the $25,000 for the vehicle.

Sgt Murray said it would be a very useful addition to policing in Beaudesert.

YACC continues to work towards establishing a PCYC for Scenic Rim.

Beaudesert features in local film

Supporters of the arts in Beaudesert turned out in force to catch a first glimpse of locally produced film ‘Love, Iris - Before the Sun Sets’ at The Centre.

Several scenes were filmed at VK Everydays in the main street of Beaudesert and the short film also features cameos from familiar local faces Mark Paddick and Rebecca Reilly.

At the exclusive preview screening on 21 March, Beaudesert locals walked the red carpet and rubbed shoulders with director Kenji Lee and the likes of rising local music star Laura Frank.

‘Love, Iris’, a 25-minute short film set entirely in the Scenic Rim and featuring picturesque locations, was underpinned by an $8500 Big Idea grant through the Regional Arts Development

Fund.

Scenic Rim Arts Reference Group Chair, Cr Michael Enright, who emceed the Beaudesert screening event, said projects like ‘Love, Iris’ enriched the cultural life of the community and represented an excellent return on investment for the region.

McAuley College students Thomas Coburn and Harrison Cash also took the stage on a Q&A panel with Mr Lee, co-producer Ash Ranpara and camera assistant David McDonald to discuss the film making process.

Thomas and Harrison were among five students from McAuley and Beaudesert High to receive ‘Launchpad’ grants from Council to get their projects off the ground, and they got to showcase their film and photography work to the audience on the night.

Mr Lee, who as well

as writing and directing ‘Love, Iris’ starred in his own film to keep costs down, encouraged aspiring filmmakers and creatives to just ‘make it happen’.

Mr Lee, who is also a teacher on Tamborine

Mountain, praised Harrison and Thomas for their work.

“As a schoolteacher I always tell my students to just pick up a camera and film. Don’t keep thinking about it - you can think about it when you sleep.

When you’re awake, go film it,” he said.

“If you fail, you know what not to do next time. It’s about just doing it. Believe in yourself, don’t set limits, just go for it. Find a way to make it happen.”

Catching up on a bygone era

The Junior Farmers and Rural Youth reunion was a weekend for catching up with old friends and reminiscing about a bygone era.

These organisations ran from 1950s through to 1980s for young people from rural areas across Queensland.

Over 120 people of all ages packed the Tamrookum Memorial Hall on

Saturday 1 April for a dance and memorabilia display.

Sunday 2 April was time for a picnic in Jubilee Park, Beaudesert.

Clubs from around the district were represented, including Tamrookum, Beenleigh and Canungra.

Organiser and former Rural Youth State President, Laurie Dunne said it was a great weekend and the perfect opportunity to reconnect.

Lots of fun

What I really love about this job is the community involvement.

From My Window

with Keer Moriarty, Editor Still Printing...

Getting out to events like the YACC Family Fun Day, Junior Farmers reunion and Beaudesert Campdraft is about as wholesome as you can get and the fact that these events are put on by volunteers is amazing.

It is difficult to explain the feeling I had with the news that 100 regional News Corp papers stopped printing in a restructure that sees these papers with online presence only.

I get a small insight into the work that goes on when I talk to the volunteers themselves. They are under a lot of pressure because they really want to put on a great event for their community.

Why do they do it?

Because they believe it makes the place they live even better. And it does.

There is always a very small number of people running these events and I’m sure they could always do with a hand.

It is sad for communities who will lose their local newspaper. Years ago, the local paper was the backbone of a community. The people who owned the paper and the people who worked there were involved in their communities, they had their finger on the pulse and they knew the people in the towns. No doubt this is still true for local journalists - but how many of those jobs will be shed in the move to digital?

The time I spent at the Family Fun Day was great. I took my little Corgi dog, Cheddar with me and he got lots of cuddles!

In fact, most of the times I asked to take a photo of a child, they grabbed Cheddar in a bear hug and grinned at me to have a photo with him. There might be something in that for the next community event!

I really admire the people who put the time in to organise these events and who volunteer with sporting clubs and other organisations. They’re not getting paid, they’re usually really busy people, but they feel rewarded by putting effort into our community.

What will the record keeping of townships look like? How can truth be disseminated without this grassroots vehicle of news? Because it is easy to see that a report about the refurbishment of the soccer club’s canteen or ‘what we did in the pandemic’ is real and true, but who will remember this when they are relegated to the archives of the internet? Where are the pictures to cut out and keep on the fridge? Or does none of that matter?

Is the Tamborine Mountain Scarecrow Festival still on? The answer is yes but in what format is still undecided. The Scarecrow trail is definitely on and the dates are 11th to 20th September. Advertisements in papers, web site and face book will be appearing in early June providing all the detail. We hope to have a special guest on the Mountain who may open the festival and then provide an activity for families on Saturday 12th September. The Lantern Parade and other activities are subject to the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions. We have set a date of 1st August

The talk of Scarecrow Town is who will be the winner this year? We can put smiles back on faces by putting scarecrows out on the trail and entering the competitions. We are sure that Scarecrow Senior Poetry will be on and children can take

Entry is free and Entry Forms will be at various locations around the Mountain

So, the message is: put huge coloured circles around the 11-20 September on your calendars, get your planning hats on for making a Scarecrow display or visiting the Mountain. If visiting, consider an overnight stay, enjoy our fabulous sunset

The Committee is keen to have a festival in whatever format is possible because it brings the community together and that is what we will need by September

St Patrick’s Day dinner returns

So, please plan on producing a scarecrow or visiting and staying on the Mountain and, if we can get the lantern parade and other activities up and running, we will do so.

The Canungra Times belongs to me, but really it belongs to the community and I’ll keep doing what I can to make sure that continues.

To me, these people are the true heroes of our communities.

In the words of George Bernard Shaw: “I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community and as long as I live, it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work the more I live.”

RESILIENCE ROADMAP SUMMARY

WHAT ARE WE SEEKING FEEDBACK ON?

The Waste Service Resilience Roadmap includes a range of options that Council can action to increase waste management resilience now and into the future.

To join the conversation scan the QR code or visit letstalk. scenicrim. qld.gov.au

Consultation closes week commencing 1 May 2023.

The Scenic Rim is regularly impacted by natural disasters and more often than not, the impacts from these events result in the disruption of the provision of essential waste services to our communities.

Scenic Rim Regional Council’s Waste Service Resilience Roadmap will assist us to:

Provide improved health outcomes for residents and the environment

Reduce interruption to waste services

Increase the ability to manage waste generated through disaster events

Why do we easily condemn ourselves?

God has put in us everything we need to live a happy life.

It’s up to us to draw it out … what does it mean to become a better you, family, relationship, supervisor, etc?

It is important to realise that God will do His part, but we must do our part as well.

To become better people: be positive toward ourselves, develop better relationships with our fellow human beings and God and always be hopeful.

God has breathed His life into us. God planted seeds of greatness in us. But we have to do our part and tap into it.

Sometimes we condemn ourselves out of anger and frustration even when no one else has.

When God confronted Adam and Eve after their sin, He said, ‘Adam, who told you that you were na-

ked?’ That is to say, ‘Who told you that something was wrong with you?’

God immediately knew the enemy had been talking to them.

God is always saying to us, “Who told you that you don’t have what it takes to succeed? Who told you that won’t be happy again? Who told you that you won’t be well again?”

We easily accuse and condemn ourselves even when no one else, not even God has condemned us.

God probably asks Adam this question in order to call him back to order.

But, it sounds as if it were Satan who told Adam that he had failed the test. Adam already condemned himself before he was even asked (Genesis 3:11). May God help us to always remember God’s love and mercy for us, especially in this Lenten season.

People AND THEIR Pets

Sandy the cat has been part of Catherine Drynan’s life since she got him as a little kitten from the Rathdowney dump in 2006.

Here’s what Catherine has to say about Sandy.

“He has a pattern. First thing in the morning when I get up, he greets me from downstairs and has his breakfast. He sleeps most of the day, comes in about 4pm for his evening meal, sits on the couch beside me and goes to sleep watching television at night. He’s been a very good cat right from the start. He doesn’t get up on the table or pinch food. He gardens with me, comes to the clothesline and sits at my feet while I hang the washing, comes to the chook pen when I go to close it, so he’s a real little friend.”

People and their Pets is about celebrating the animal friends in our lives, whether they’re furry, feathered, reptilian, hoofed or pawed. If you’d like us to feature you and your pet, or tip us off about a great People and their Pets story, please get in touch via news@beaudesertbulletin.com.

Questions Over 50s Retirees should consider when building a new home in a resort...

Considering downsizing and looking for a new-found lifestyle in your Golden Years? Then there are many things to seriously contemplate BEFORE you pay a deposit or sign any contracts. This is especially true in the case of a brand new development, which could take up to TEN YEARS to complete. It is important to always ask the following questions of any Village Management when considering your options.

What is the weekly site fee?

Who is the builder?

Are the homes steel framed?

Do you have a choice of site?

Are the homes built on site?

Are the homes manufactured off site?

What is the expected building wait time?

What is the security on the site lease period?

Do you have an input into the home design?

Do you have a choice to change any home inclusions?

YES! We’ve made the right

Q.

Do you get a deposit refund if the contract is unconditional?

“Millers Glen” is a new Over 50s Lease Land Housing development entering the Scenic Rim District this year, and based on the answers to the above questions, you seriously need to consider your options and compare it to what Elysium’s New Stage 3 Development has to offer.

Sustainable, local, delicious!

The sound of laughter is first thing you notice as you enter Teaspoons and Aprons - customers joyfully chatting, enjoying company, coffee and great food.

Which is exactly how owner Shinade Harper envisioned it.

“I really want the space to feel like you’re sitting in the dining room of a friends’ house. Great atmosphere, great coffee and amazing food,” says Shinade.

Teaspoons and Aprons is tucked in between Subway and Drs at Beaudesert, in the Beaudesert Central Shopping Centre.

The spacious dining room is adorned with pot-

ted plants and well-chosen paintings. There is an Australiana feel and this carries through to the food.

Teaspoons and Aprons philosophy on food is simple – sustainable, local, delicious.

“We live in a region that boasts some of the best and most creative produce in country! Why use anything else?” says Shinade.

Teaspoons and Aprons uses an array of local producers and foodie creators across their menu and introduces native food elements into their dishes.

One popular creation that showcases local and native flavours is the Wattle Seed and white chocolate Eweghurt tart.

Everything is made in house by Shinade and her team - fresh pastry, hand cut chips and delectable desserts.

Along with their focus on food, flavour and coffee is their unwavering commitment to community.

Teaspoons and Aprons has hosted the Kingfishers Football Club Under 15s café takeover, is a sponsor for Tatsu Karate in Kooralbyn and regularly raises funds for causes close employees’ hearts such as The black Dog Institute, Heart Kids, Breast Cancer Awareness, Autism QLD and Cancer Council.

It really is locals supporting local.

Royalty for Beaudesert

Auspac Media

The Features People

The day the future King and Queen visited Beaudesert.

While on a goodwill tour to Australia in 1927 to open Parliament House in Canberra, the Duke and Duchess of York made a special visit to the Beaudesert district. Ten years later they were to become King George VI and Queen Elizabeth of the United Kingdom and Dominions of the British Commonwealth.

Wanting to give the royal couple respite from official duties, and an opportunity to experience the Australian way of life, the Ducal-visit-committee invited public submissions from towns and cities to host the couple to an event in their town.

The Logan & Albert Agricultural Pastoral Society of Beaudesert had a creative idea and sent an invitation to the Royal couple to attend a Camp Draft and Bushman’s Carnival at Ilbogan Racecourse. The idea that the Royal couple would then spend a couple of days relaxing at Tamrookum, one of the district’s historic homesteads, may have had special appeal to the Ducal committee. Mrs R M Collins and her family were to be hosts.

to make easy access from the station to the waiting car. They were then driven to Ilbogan where they enjoyed lunch under the native apple trees.

Created: Ted Whillier

Qxpress: Elaine Watson

Checked: Rosemary J

The program included camp-drafting, buckjumping, bullock riding, whip cracking and a display by Barambah aborigines.

Afternoon tea was served from a fragile tea-set the colour of oyster-shell. It was loaned by Mrs Hilma Sullivan and later donated to the Beaudesert Museum. It is on display in one of the cabinets.

The odds of being accepted were long, and when it was confirmed that Beaudesert would be included in the tour, a great deal of planning had to be undertaken. This was a time when protocol and formality was strictly observed.

Note to Editor:

It was estimated that 11,000 people gathered at Ilbogan on that historic day. School children from the district were brought into town by the tram, and 2000 motor cars parked around the ring.

GROW YOUR OWN

There are so many benefits to growing your own fruit and vegetables.

But what are some of the reasons for starting or perhaps increasing the amount you are growing currently? Most of us that do grow fruit and vegetables have differing reasons. Let’s consider some.

Many enjoy the time out in the fresh air with family or friends. Others might prefer the solitude it can provide.

We have regulars who often list that growing their backyard produce provides time to connect with children and in particular their young grandchildren.

Here at Tullamore Farm we do so, because we know the way we grow provides the healthiest and freshest fruit and vegetables.

No lost nutrients, no sprays or preservatives added and no questionable farming practices to be concerned about. Our belief is that the healthier your food, the less you are likely to spend on caring for your health.

For others growing some of their produce is financial. So many in our community are struggling

to manage financially and unfortunately this is likely to get worse. You generally have two ways to improve that situation.

You can either try to earn more money or you could reduce what you spend.

Growing more of your own fresh fruit and vegetables can certainly help. For those on a fixed income those savings can be then used elsewhere.

One reason that is rarely discussed is food miles.

If we were still living at the turn of last century, food did not travel that far.

Your food today has travelled, on average, very large distances. Some reports state that on average that is in excess of 1000 kilometres.

That is a lot of cost and a lot of resources with all the associated disadvantages. Compare that to the distance from your back yard to your kitchen.

Whatever your reasons or combinations of reasons, please start or increase what you are growing and enjoy all the benefits.

Budget Consultation

Scenic Rim Regional Council is seeking community feedback on the Draft 2023-2024 Budget and I hope everyone will make the most of this opportunity to help inform our decisions for the coming financial year.

Balancing the wants and needs of the community for Council’s wide range of services and the maintenance of infrastructure, against our limited financial resources, is never an easy task.

It is even more challenging in the current economic climate with rising costs and shortages of labour and material.

Residents can share

their feedback on the draft budget through the Let’s Talk Scenic Rim online community engagement platform or in person at one of three evening community consultation sessions.

These will be held on Thursday 20 April at Boonah Cultural Centre, Wednesday 26 April at The Centre Beaudesert and Thursday 27 April at Tamborine Mountain State School.

School holidays

Council has plenty of free and low-cost boredom-busting activities for children and families during the Easter school holidays.

Check out the free Opera Reimagined: 25 Years

of Opera Eagle’s Nest exhibition at The Centre Beaudesert, with a stunning array of costumes and memorabilia from a quarter century of performances by the Scenic Rim’s own opera company.

The free Superpowered on Tour program by the Queensland Art Gallery – Gallery of Modern Art will have a range of fun activities, with a focus on courageous characters, developed by First Nations artists. Swing by The Centre Beaudesert, Boonah Cultural Centre or Vonda

Youngman Community

Centre Tamborine Mountain from 10am to 3pm daily from 3 to 6 April.

The school holiday program also includes cooking, circus and theatre workshops and the popular Kids’ Flicks at Beaudesert, Boonah and Tamborine Mountain. They are the best value around, with tickets for all ages just $5 including a drink and a snack. See the liveatthecentre.scenicrim.qld. gov.au website for details of movies, screening times and locations.

Beaudesert revitalisation

The revitalisation of Beaudesert is continuing to inject a new energy in the town centre with streetscaping that is creating more welcoming public spaces while maintaining the area’s unique character.

COUNCIL WATCH

Email: frangipani1956@msn.com

The following are my views, not those of the Editor. Any threats of legal action can be directed to me.

SRRC Ordinary Meeting

At the Ordinary meeting on 4 April 2023, two of the hot topics I have been pushing have made it onto the agenda – amazing timing.

One involves unelected planning staff providing developers with Draft Conditions of Approval before the application goes to Councillors for a vote.

The other is the introduction of a Right To Information disclosure log, which most other Councils willingly have.

Progress!

My RTI application regarding the previous two CEOs’ remuneration details is finally progressing after 15 arduous months. Office of the Information Commissioner has indicated release is imminent. We may soon learn how much CEOs have cost us.

Bouquet

Thank you to Council and the LGAQ for holding a “So you want to be a Councillor” information session for aspiring candidates in the Division 1 By Election.

Presumably the Advisor

had a hand in this as there has never been a similar session in the past.

There are four nominated candidates, including one from Beaudesert! Hopefully there will be resilience training for the successful candidate, and yes, I have nominated as an independent, self-funded (and local) candidate.

Costs Update

Appeal 2001 of 2021 –SDA Property Nominees P/L -v- SRRC. “Disability tourist cabins” Tamborine Mountain – costs award.

My Offer to Settle made to Council on 16 February 2023 just doesn’t make it onto an Agenda for a vote and will be withdrawn. The developer has agreed to a settlement significantly less than the original amount demanded.

I have been overwhelmed by the support shown by donors, with the amount raised being $35,656 and rising

(BSB 814-282 Account:

30063911 Name: A.Hay).

I thank those from across the Scenic Rim who have supported me. Some donations and letters of support have come from very unexpected sources.

They donate ... and they vote.

Development Applications

MCU23/040 and 23/036 – 4 James Street, Beaudesert. Multiple dwelling and subdivision 1 lot into 2; duplex plus single on 1 lot, existing house on 456m2.

Educational establishment – Stage 3A Schools Master Plan – Hospitality and Art classrooms. Only 21 con-

ditions and an infrastructure charge of $59,163.

SRRC Court Cases

Planning and Environment Court: 436/23 – Jaykai No.2 Family Trust -v- SRRC. Filed 22 Feb 2023. Appeal against Council’s refusal – Service Station at 2571 Beaudesert-Beenleigh Rd, Tamborine. Council using a different legal firm this time.

Supreme Court: 13762/19 – Scenic Rim Developments P/L v SRRC. $37m Damages claim - Oaklands. Mediation failed. Review: 4 April 2023. Council filed an 81-page amended defence on 17 March 2023. The legal costs (ie ratepayers’) to date must be horrendous.

Players shook hands, had team photos, acknowledged those responsible for the day and paused to pay respects to the recently passed grandfathers of student Darcy Riddle and teacher Amy Richards before the game, which former College Captain Charlie Love officiated.

McAuley kicked off, and a St James error led to a drop-out.

The first few tackles

were a torrid affair with the McAuley forwards having to absorb the physicality of the big St James players. This courage provided a foundation for a quick shift left that saw Corbin Kaminski crash over for McAuley’s first try.

St James responded with an exchange of passes leading to a long range try.

McAuley’s solid tackling forced errors from the opposition and their outside backs made inroads into the St James defence. McAuley capitalised with a blind-side play that led to a try from Jake McDonald. At the end of the first half McAuley were ahead two tries to one.

At half-time, coaching staff asked McAuley to focus on increasing the speed of the defensive line and running some of the backline plays drilled at training.

The team responded with a long ball out the back to a flying Carl Maas (the “7-V” play), resulting in another try, then Jim McClure dummied his way over for a try.

McAuley conceded another try but their defence held to notch a 20-10 victory.

One of the team coaches, Paul McClure, praised the sportsmanship of both teams and thanked local businesses for their gen-

Triathletes shine

Local triathlon buddies Aaron Collis and Zac Cunningham put their best swim, bike and run efforts forward at the 2023 Hell of the West in Goondiwindi and raised thousands for the Rural Doctors Foundation.

Aaron, 45, and Zac, 35, trained long hours around Beaudesert in the lead-up to the 26 March event, their banter keeping each other in good spirits even in heatwave training conditions.

Both triathletes made good time in their races, reaping the rewards of their tough training on the 2km swim in the McIntyre River, 80km bike ride and 20km run.

Zac placed fourth in the State Champions 3539 category, less than two minutes off a podium finish, and fifth in the male 35-39 category, with a time of 4 hours 18 minutes.

Aaron finished his triathlon strong in the 40 - 44 males, with a time of 4 hours 54 minutes.

He also accepted third place in the Community Spirit award on behalf of irreverent local training group the Leo Wanker Academy of Fitness, which he is part of.

It was Aaron’s fourth Hell of the West and Zac’s fifth.

Aaron shone in his fundraising efforts for the Rural Doctors Foundation, spreading the word through his networks to raise $1045 toward a combined total of $3110 at time of print.

Aaron and Zac were both raising money for the Foundation, alongside Goondiwindi doctors’ team Anna Carswell (runner), Matt Masel (swimmer) and Sarah Gleeson (cyclist).

erous sponsorship.

“In true Confraternity fashion, the match was played in excellent spirit by both teams, and they are a credit to their respective colleges,” he said.

“Player of the match was Taj Davis, who was hard to handle every time he received the ball. Corbin Kaminski and Luke Lynam worked tirelessly in the middle, and Jim McClure organised the team well and threw

some good passes. A special mention must also go to our debutantes who played their first game against a very physical opposition,” he said.

“The team thanks Mr Steve Ducat for his hard work in preparing the oval... Mrs Richards our College Sports Coordinator for her tireless work in preparing for the game… Charlie Love for refereeing the game and spectators and parents for their support.”

Locals Caroline and Dr Michael Rice, who is the Rural Doctors Foundation Chair, and Foundation Fundraising and Relationships Manager, Kathryn Ritchie, travelled out to Goondiwindi to cheer the local triathletes on.

Aaron and Zac thanked the Beaudesert community for its support, particularly

acknowledging fellow local BUGS cyclists including Ken Ardrey, Jo Perry and Bo Morley for spurring them on in their training for Hell of the West.

The Rural Doctors Foundation is still taking donations in their Hell of the West fundraiser at https://2023-hell-of-thewest.raisely.com/donate

Will off to nationals

Beaudesert talent will reach new heights in the Australian Junior Athletics Championships from 21 April after local high jumper Will Robinson was selected to represent Queensland.

Will was one of 13 athletes from Beaudesert and Districts Little Athletics to compete in the Little Athletics State Championships in Townsville from 24-26 March.

All athletes came away with personal best times and distances; Connor Rosso won bronze in the 16 boys 300 metre hurdles and Will won silver in the 14 boys high jump, equalling his personal best of 1.68 metres.

Kids enjoy cross country

Secretary Helen White praised the young athletes on their sportsmanship and said community support was being sought to help send Will to nationals.

“They were a fantastic group of athletes who, when not competing, were being the cheer squad for those who were,” she said.

“As a club we would like to see Will supported by the greater community in helping him get to Melbourne to compete at Albert Park Athletics Track.”

To support Will, email secretary@beaudesertlittleas.com.au

School children from across Beaudesert and surrounds ran their little hearts out at annual cross-country days in March.

At Veresdale Scrub State School’s meet on 24 March, it was a close contest between the two sports houses, Grevillea and Melaleuca, with points tied at 79 at half time. In the end, Grevillea won by four points with a total of 105 points. Some of the top runners advance to Beaudesert zones after the Easter school holidays.

Biggs defeats Pavlides

Beaudesert Storm, Dylan Biggs, is looming large on the radar of Australia’s boxing scene, bolstered by another victory before he takes on Australia’s Super Welterweight Champion, Dan ‘The Engine’ Hill.

Biggs, 21, stepped up to middleweight to defeat the Gold Coast’s Joel Pavlides on 25 March in Toowoomba, cheered on by a strong crowd of Beaudesert friends, family and sponsors.

He will take on Hill before 1 July as mandatory challenger for the title, as voted by the Australian National Boxing Federation on a date yet to be announced.

Biggs, who has been training with Justin O’Leary at Beaudesert

Boxing Club since he was 10 and boxing professionally for two years, thanked his Beaudesert supporters and valued sponsors and said the Pavlides fight was his hardest-earned victory to date.

“Pavlides definitely put in his best. It was an absolute war, six rounds of tough fighting. I was the better boxer on the night, but Joel didn’t take one step back the whole time,” he said.

“I’ve fought a few subpar boxers, but Pavlides is not that. He was the test I needed, and I won, so I feel like I’m ready to take on the Australian Super Welterweight Champion next.”

When the Bulletin caught up with Biggs and O’Leary, they were straight back into train-

ing the day after they returned from the Pavlides fight.

Biggs does two to three training sessions a day, six days a week, and in the mornings can be seen walking around Beaudesert with O’Leary as a warmup

“I pulled up perfectly fine, no injuries and I wasn’t sore, which I put down to training. My body’s used to me putting it through a bit of pain, then it recovers overnight,” Biggs said.

O’Leary said the Pavlides win was a milestone.

“Dylan had his professional debut the same weekend two years ago. In that time, he’s matured a lot, physically he’s a lot stronger going from 19 to 21 years old, which I

think will keep going,” he said.

“He could always box, but he showed really good defence this fight.

If he keeps improving the next two years like he has the last two years, it should be pretty exciting.”
