Iconic piece steams to life at Clermont History came to life with the momentous steaming of an iconic piece of machinery at the Clermont Historical Centre Open Day on Saturday July 1. Up to 1000 residents and visitors had a chance to witness living history with the Aveling & Porter steam engine steaming for the first time since 2002. From wandering through the market stalls and reliving the courage, heroism and tragedy in the Centre’s A Flood of Memories exhibition, there was something for everyone.
“It is a credit to Jennifer Clark, Debbie Alvoen and their team at Clermont Historical Centre who have worked tirelessly behind the scenes to bring this wonderful event to life,” Mayor Baker said. “I’d also like to acknowledge the Clermont Historical Centre Advisory Committee, particularly Jo Knobel for her efforts in organising activities for the day.”
Division 6 Councillor Lynette Jones, who officially opened the event, hailed the Clermont event as a success.
Missed the Clermont Historical Centre Community Open Day? There’s still time to explore the exhibition – A Flood of Memories.
“Locals and visitors had plenty to do, see, taste and learn and I hope everyone walked away from this day with a greater understanding of why history is so important in the way we shape our future,” Cr Jones said.
More than 60 people lost their lives in floodwaters after a tropical cyclone crossed through the Whitsunday passage in December 1916.
“More than 500 hours volunteer hours have been dedicated to restoring the steam engine which was one of two that moved Clermont after the 1916 Flood. “Kev Fry, Robert Kluck, Phil Ryder, Clinton Gillies, Jim Brent, Brock Ryder and Darren Whittington volunteered their time or services in some capacity to bring this engine back to life once again.” Mayor Anne Baker said Clermont Historical Centre has a real role to play in being a drawcard for tourism in our region.
View the commemorative 1916 Flood exhibition A Flood of Memories which runs until December 2017. The big events in Isaac keep on coming with the Queensland Music Festival’s The Power Within on July 28-29 in Moranbah - featuring talented locals from Clermont.

Fuzzbook from Mt Isa contributed by Senior Sarge Hello to all just a short note from Mt Isa where I commenced my second week today, Monday that is. It didn't feel like my second week, more like the tenth, that is how full on these places are. I have to say there is no down time in the lock-up, especially when there is so many prisoners coming through, as this place is the collection point for all the communities in the gulf area. So far I have had to fly as far as Mornington Island to go and get prisoners to bring them back. Luckily we have our own plane, but I don't get to fly it! Tomorrow flying to Cairns to take seven prisoners to Lotus Glen jail and then back home. It is non stop and when you see the communities some of these prisoners live in normally they look like war zones, but there are no armies challenging each other. The situation is of their own choosing and all seem locked into a cycle of violence and government dependence. Banning alcohol has seen an industry of home brewing flourish with dire medical consequences in some communities. But enough of the work, I am certain these issues have been around for years and not solvable any time soon. Kris has settled in sort of and she is going a little nuts with the house in a shambles as we slowly unpack too much furniture into a smaller house. The yard looks terrible. But little things will make it okay in a few weeks time.
Dom has started at his new school with 87 kids just in his year level alone, so more choices. He also started work at Hungry Jacks on the weekend so busy for him too! The cats, Monty and Max, many of you know them, have not had such a rosy welcome. On one side is two cattle dogs and the other side a German Shepherd and a border collie. Across the road is the back of the station where the dog squad van parks. However they have decided that they may as well stir things up and regularly parade up and down fence lines to wind the dogs up. This of course is apparently exhausting as they then sleep for the other 23 hours of the day while it takes hours for the dogs to settle. Anyway enough about our new lives. Hope that everyone is keeping an eye on Giulia for me who is finishing off her Year 12 in Clermont. Any reports, good or bad, are welcome. The new sergeant for Clermont has not been selected yet, but you will be getting young Naomi who will be replacing Ordet. Stand back fellas she is married and I am sure she will make her mark on Clermont. Talking of Mark, he is the other new bloke in town. He has come from the big city, so give him a chance to settle in before hitting him with all those country only problems!! Hope this message finds everyone well and able. Catch up with everyone in November. Regards Senior Sarge!
Kris was interviewed for a job at the police station the other day and we will see how she goes with that. I may have to put in a good word!

Clermont State High School Grade 10 class of 1966 reunion lunch contributed by Ruth Ward Students who completed Grade 10 (Junior) in 1966 and anyone who was part of that class at anytime from Grade 1 are invited to join a class get together at lunch time on Saturday August 19 at the Leo Hotel. Many of the group will be back for the 150 Years of Schooling celebrations and we will meet for a counter lunch at the Leo at 1pm on Saturday.
We will also march as a group in the Street Parade on Sunday morning and you are invited to march behind a banner being prepared by one of our own. Some of us are even going to turn up in school uniform colours for a bit of fun. Please let Ruth Wade (ruthwade@westnet.com.au) or Marlene Blaszczak (marlene.blaszczak@bigpond.com) if you can attend the lunch.
Tech fest programmed to rock young master minds Isaac is ready to unearth the region’s up and coming techno-savvy game changers. Isaac Regional Council libraries are on the hunt for the next generation to start moving Lego pieces, lifting and manoeuvring their custom-built robots.
So if you think this sounds like just the thing for you, come in and speak to your local library staff for more information. Teams are set to be finalised by Friday, July 21. Visit www.isaac.qld.gov.au or call 1300 ISAACS (1300 472 227) for more details.
Mayor Anne Baker said innovation and fun is at the mechanical heart of Lego Robotics. “Robotics is part of our future and Council is a huge supporter of innovation and educational fun for our children,” she said. “It is essential for Isaac’s developing creative thinkers and problem solvers to come together in a fun and interactive environment. “It is highly possible the skills are needed for future jobs and perhaps could help in solving problems from medicine to infrastructure. Mayor Baker strongly encouraged all budding gizmo geniuses aged between nine and 16 to be part of this exciting experience. “The children will form Lego robotics teams across the Isaac,” she said. “This is a chance for a team of up to 10 members to learn how to build working robots, to solve problems and complete challenges leading up to the Isaac Libraries Tech Fest in October at Dysart Library.”

Colleens Walk for Cancer - update contributed by Colleen Nicholas This week I’ve reached Collie and decided to actually have a full rest day. My first since I started walking on June 16 at Kalamunda! And it has been a wonderful day to recharge… I enjoyed the dream brekky of EGGS and COFFEE before I collected my food parcel from the Visitor’s Centre. It is a bit like getting a present!! I needed a few supplies including extra gas. My walk from Dwellingup to Collie was a wet one with so much rain in all its forms (from fog, to drizzle to absolute downpours) and my ability to dry my gear at night in the little camp huts has proven nigh on impossible. The fog infiltrates EVERYTHING and some mornings there is much squeaking and squealing from inside the huts as I put on cold, wet walking gear! I am absolutely non-negotiable on my clean dry clothes to bed though, so the wet gear is something I’m somewhat vocally dealing with!
The water and wet gear has also played havoc on my poor feet. My boots are really waterproof – except when one slips into one of the bog holes I’ve had to navigate and the water flows straight in over the top! Even my poor walking poles, Heckle and Jeckle, have been for a dip in these soggy conditions!
On reaching Collie I decided to buy 2 pairs of socks as cannot afford anymore wet socks days. Feet are recovering (but I may lose a toenail) with liberal amounts of betadine. I also bought another thermal top and leggings as apparently there is very cold weather and rain forecast. I am willing to have more weight in my pack and be dry. The sights and smells from the last section of track has been amazing! Swamps, sandy flats, Jarrah and Sheoak forests, banksia groves, grass trees, a very oddly named plant called ‘snottygobble’ and a very creepy looking forest that I was very pleased to be out of.
Some burnt out country that looked so desolate and hopeless and lonely, then more burnt out country in the rain – in the rain I could feel the difference. It was full of hope and rejuvenation. Different birds chortling. Just shows after any dire circumstances there is always new beginnings. I managed to get myself thoroughly lost between Yourdamung and Harris Camps. Heart in the throat lost. All I wanted to do was sit on a log and cry my heart out. And I thank my three wonderful sons for all helping me to work out the compass and map orienteering. I drew on that knowledge, bought out the map and compass and worked out my correct direction. I could have kissed the first Waugal sign! Last Tuesday I found a "scat" on the track. I was most intrigued and was like David Attenborough checking it out. It was still steaming!! I wondered if it was from a pig but wasn't sure of that, when all of a sudden, the bush right beside me erupted with a loud ""grunt, woof, whatever"". It was an emu!! So he went in one direction and me in the other and practically hugging my way halfway up a huge Jarrah tree! Isaac... helping to energise the world
The CLERMONT RAG I have discovered that the backpack is sometimes weightless when not weighing 20kgs. I had to have a laugh; really gave me a fright. I am sure you can visualize this scenario well....
I did not see a soul for 6 days walking between Dwellingup and Collie, with 5 nights solo in huts in the last section. I’m losing count of other solo days and nights.
It was hard to head off from my warm room in Collie to trek into the hills and forest. I just needed to get my "MOJO" back again.
It is all an amazing adventure! I have huffed and puffed. Been in awe. Been pushed to my limits and shed some tears. I have laughed at my own antics or some gorgeous birds that cheer me up. I have felt so cold and appreciate the rain, even though it has its challenges. On the tougher days I think, "What the hell am I doing!" However, my answer is “Because I can!! And what an adventure for this old chook. Bring it on!!" I feel so privileged to have this experience. Thank you all for sharing it with me!
It was beautiful in the Eucalyptus and Jarrah forests. The sun had the leaves sparkling as it had rained a lot during the night. Very wet leaf matter underfoot and some big puddles to navigate. The smells of the bush were varied and strong. There were masses of spider webs all over the track. I don't like breaking my stride to wipe each one off which would be constant, so I wait till I get a build-up or I start feeling as if I am getting a face lift for free and then deal with them! Some stats… I have walked 353.9 kms. Only 666kms to go. Say it quick!! Just to prove it is me with the pack!

Circuit training This is a form of body conditioning or resistance training using high-intensity/low-intensity aerobic energy. It targets strength building and muscular endurance. An exercise ‘circuit’ is one completion of all prescribed exercises in the program. It is highly enjoyable and recommended to all levels of fitness. Lets lift This program has been designed to target the eight large muscle groups in a 45 minutes whole body workout. This is achieved through the use of barbell and dumbbell weights.
