Artist to grace Isaac with cultural tradition An internationally acclaimed Aboriginal artist will host a free inspirationally-filled workshop in Clermont. “Children will decorate their own talking stick to take home for use in their family’s yarning circle.” The art workshops are made possible thanks to a grant from the Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF). Queensland Premier and Arts Minister Annastacia Palaszczuk said the Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) delivered on the Queensland Government’s commitment to foster diverse and inclusive communities, grow strong regions and provide training, education, and employment opportunities for Queenslanders. An internationally acclaimed Aboriginal artist will host a series of free inspirationally-filled workshops across Isaac. Lloyd Hornsby Gawura will visit nearly all corners of Isaac Regional Council’s area just in time for NAIDOC Week and the school holidays. Mayor Anne Baker said residents and local artists are once again honoured to have Mr Hornsby back for a fourth year. “Lloyd has a great talent for creating colourful visions, to show us Aboriginal Art as we have never seen before,” Mayor Baker said. “Lloyd is also the winner of the 2015 Australia Day Arts and Culture Award. “He was recognised for his work to promote Aboriginal culture and art over the past 10 years. “Lloyd is deeply involved in the community, running workshops and school art programs. “He also works closely with disadvantaged youth, through art therapy programs in youth detention centres and prisons. “He uses his art to bridge the gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities.” Mr Hornsby said he was excited to run another series of art workshops in Isaac libraries in July. “I will speak with children about the history of the talking stick in indigenous culture,” he said. “In a community circle, a talking stick is passed around from member to member allowing only the person holding the stick to speak.
“The Queensland Government is contributing $2.08 million to leverage up to $1.92 million from local councils resulting in up to $4 million available to support arts and cultural activities throughout the state in 2016–17,” said the Premier. “This funding promotes promote the role and value of arts, culture and heritage as key drivers of inclusive communities and strong regions and ensures Queenslanders can engage with arts locally,” she said. “Each year around 500,000 people are involved in RADF projects as practitioners, participants or audience members.” The Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF), is a partnership between the Queensland Government and Isaac Regional Council to support local arts and culture in regional Queensland. The Lloyd Hornsby free art workshops will be held at Clermont Library on:
Monday July 3, from 10am-11am and 2pm-3pm Mr Hornsby will also visit Nebo State School, Coppabella State School, Mistake Creek State School, Kilcummin State School, Valkyrie State School, Carmila State School, St Lawrence State School, and Clarke Creek State School. Isaac Libraries will also be hosting free school holiday activities catering for all school ages. For the full school holiday Isaac libraries program visit www.isaac.qld.gov.au/libraries

The CLERMONT RAG
The healing power of music: Queensland Music Festival stages mass community production uniting hundreds of locals from the Isaac region Queensland Music Festival (QMF) will celebrate the talent, diversity and resilience of Central Queensland’s agricultural and coal mining Isaac region by uniting hundreds of local community members to star in a world premiere musical spectacular on Friday 28 and Saturday 29 July in Moranbah. In the most significant cultural event to be staged in the region, The Power Within will reflect on the realities and resources of pop-up mining towns – boom and bust cycles, the vagaries of weather, and subsequent economic and social challenges – and the sheer power and beauty of a united community. The massive outdoor show will star more than 250 locals including schools, town choirs, instrumentalists, featured vocalists, dance groups and horse riders, all set against an inventive industrial backdrop. The Power Within tells the story of discovering an abundant supply of music under the ground, and a town being built to mine the natural resource. A historic flood threatens to destroy everything and the citizens must come together again to recapture their spirit, and reveal the true meaning of cooperation and kinship. The production is the result of an 18-month-long community engagement project in which QMF, working in close partnership with Isaac Regional Council (IRC), has embedded its team in six of the towns across the Isaac region: Moranbah, Clermont, Dysart, Middlemount, Glenden and Nebo. QMF’s creative team has been working with schools and community groups since October 2016 to mine the local creative
forces, increase skills to create a show that reflects the stories of the region. QMF Artistic Director Katie Noonan said The Power Within demonstrates first-hand the healing power of music. “The Power Within offers the wonderful communities of the Isaac region a chance to observe their own resilience, reflect on the importance of family and their hopes for the future through self empowerment, and to forge new friendships and partnerships across the region,” Ms Noonan said.
“The event addresses important social and economic themes such as mental health, agricultural heartache and the complicated nature of mining, which we cannot turn a blind eye to, but it also highlights innumerable reasons to be hopeful and to celebrate.” Premier and Minister for the Arts Annastacia Palaszczuk said the Queensland Government was proud to support the Queensland Music Festival and its The Power Within project, which uses music and performance to strengthen social cohesion and celebrate local identity. Isaac Regional Council Mayor Anne Baker said Isaac is thrilled to host this spectacular, free community event showcasing a cast of more than 250 talented locals and supported by well-known music industry professionals.
“At the heart of this project is the youth of the Isaac region and giving them the opportunity to unite and shine. “A huge focus is to promote wellbeing by helping young people develop skills, build confidence, and create a better connection to self, peers and the place they call home. The potential outcomes and benefits of this project are inestimable. “There is an incredible amount of talent waiting to be seen and heard in the Isaac region. In fact, we decided early on in the project to dedicate more resources towards building on the strengths of the community rather than bringing in a headline artist.
The Power Within is presented by Queensland Music Festival, Isaac Regional Council and Queensland Government and supported by the Tim Fairfax Family Foundation, Australia Council for the Arts, QUT Creative Industries, BHP Billiton Mistubishi Alliance, Anglo American, Moranbah Community Workers Club, Pembroke Resources, Glencore Clermont Open Cut Mine and ABC Tropical North.

Colleen’s Walk for Cancer - update contributed by Colleen Nicholas From the Track…. By the time this hits the shelves in Clermont I will be well and truly down the track…My first days’ walk went well and looking back it’s hard to believe I’m already nine days in!
“I spent a night in Perth, a comfy bed, hot shower, purchased my gas, spare batteries, matches and enjoyed a delicious steak at a great Italian restaurant. I was determined to have the steak as figured I would need some ‘oomph’ today! No truer word as I required a ‘degree’ of energy. I also knew there would be no eggs on the brekky menu for at least 12 days so I made the most of a healthy breakfast before starting the walk. Kalamunda is a lovely area and I would love to visit it again. It took me awhile to fiddle with my backpack to get it comfortable and also to set up Spot Tracker, camera etc. It was then ‘full steam ahead’, except I felt as though I was crawling till I got into the swing of it. I continually bless my walking poles ‘heckle and jeckle’ as they save me from many busters and slip overs. The ground changed from slippery to little pebbles to rocks to boulders, so the terrain was quite challenging and it didn’t take long for me to be questioning my sanity! Basically I walked up and over the Perth hills and over creeks a few times. I missed a turn at one section where the track had been diverted so ended up scrambling through a creek as I could see the proper track. Figured it was easier then climbing back up with heavy pack. Gave myself a clip in the ear to really concentrate as the tracks are narrow and very heavy undergrowth, shrubs and trees so one could be confused very quickly. I also learnt that I cannot stand and tilt my head back to gaze at the amazing tall trees as the weight of the pack pulled the body backwards!! Once again the walking poles came to the rescue with a scramble. Also have found that when I stop (and put my pack on the highest log or rock in sight) that I feel as if I’m walking on air till the weight settles out! The scenery is spectacular. Walked through the Kalamunda National park. Jarrah, marri forest, also
sheoak and banksia. Lots of rocky outcrops, huge boulders. Kalamunda has a strong timber and rail history. There are Dieback boot cleaning stations to help prevent spread of disease. Plenty of watercourses to cross. Passed two massive jarrah trees with burnt out girths that are estimated to be 300 to 400 years old. Hewett’s Hill campsite was very much a welcome sight as was feeling rather weary. I had the camp to myself so it was very quiet and peaceful though I felt cold during the night and a very heavy dew so very damp. I learn as I go!! I was woken by kookaburras and butcher birds who came to check me out. I know I enjoyed a hot cuppa. Every day is a new challenge with ever more beautiful scenery to tempt me from navigating my sometimes very slippery slope! My original plan to ‘double hut’ has proven ambitious as the terrain has me looking forward to my little cocoon each night right on dark. I do sneak the odd one in though. My dehydrated meals are delicious, though I suspect anything would taste good by the time I get to camp! I am managing anywhere between 9 and 16km a day depending on the terrain and my ‘stuffed’ factor. 126 kilometres down so safe to say I’ve completed one tenth of the track – thankfully my fundraising efforts are looking much closer to our end goal! Thank you so much to everyone who has already donated and please continue to share my message with anyone and everyone you know. I deeply appreciate everyone’s generosity and support”. Again, if you are on the Facebook follow me at Colleen’s Walk for Cancer. Donate directly to the Qld Cancer Council through their website www.doitforcancer.com.au and search for Colleen Nicholas in the Find A Friend box or contact Shontae Moran on 0417 726 132 for further details if you would prefer to send a cheque. Thanks again and we shall keep in touch! Isaac... helping to energise the world

At the Kalamunda checkpoint of the Bibbulman track. Ready to go!
Part of the track has recently been burnt. A few obstacles to keep me on my toes.
A few rocks to contend with! Not all flat and easy going!
Vintage Machinery training day contributed by Andy Plunkett The vintage machinery training day recently held at Capella Pioneer Village focused on a century plus live steam engine, a hot bulb oil engine and a Ferrier double box woolpress.
Pictured in front of a Pratchitt portable steam engine left to right: Trainees Scott and Ross Hensley, John Newton and Ray Hickson
Keen trainees from Clermont region, Scott and Ross Hensley attend the training day along with special invited guest Ray Hickson from Clermont. Ray has worked in the past in steampowered sleeper cutting mills and also in the boilerhouse at Sarina Sugar Mill.
Ray’s wise advice was appreciated when it came to the live steam section of the training day. A further training day will be held at the Capella Pioneer Village Heritage Day which will be held in early September.

Children wing it during author’s Isaac tour Burst of laughter and winging an emu-tation of walking like Australia’s feathered coat-of-arms icon energised Isaac libraries last week.
Armed with her new picture book Eddie, Excellent Chef, Robin Adolph’s wit and charm set children into an array of fun at Dysart, Clermont and Moranbah libraries. Mayor Anne Baker said the accomplished writer was an instant hit with Isaac residents. “Children were amused by Robin’s artistic storytelling in her latest book, Eddie, Excellent Chef,” Mayor Baker said.

Ratepayers will not be charged for water consumption for usage between July 1, 2016 and June 30, 2017. The first water notice issued will be for the period July 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017 and will be issued during January 2018. To help ensure the charging system is accurate, efficient and reliable a manual water meter read program will take place Monday to Friday between the hours from 7am to 5pm:
