Clermont Rag 22 February 2019 by Isaac Regional Council

CLERMONT RAG FRIDAY FEBRUARY 22, 2019

This image, captured by George Cumming Pullar of Blair Athol Coal and Timber No. 1 Mine in 1910, is one of the images that will feature with stories at the Clermont Historical Centre’s new exhibition Towns of Minerals and Metals.

EXHIBITION DIGS INTO COLONIAL MINING LIFE A new Clermont exhibition paints a picture of a brutal and harsh existence during the mid-19th Century minerals and metals rush in Central Queensland.

“This exhibition is centred on stories of the townships, how they came to be and the juxtaposition between the affluence and the hardships.

Laced with murder mysteries and stories of brutal cultural clashes, Towns of Minerals and Metals is the latest instalment from Clermont Historical Centre.

“It incorporates stories that are centred on each resource, gold, copper and coal and subsequently the towns that are centred on them.”

Mayor Anne Baker said the exhibition focuses on the towns of Clermont, Blair Athol and Copperfield and the accidental discoveries of gold, coal and copper.

The exhibition features digitised imagery and includes, three unique displays, tools including aboriginal artefacts, photographs and other items of historic significance.

“Three towns, three natural resources, gold, coal and copper. Minerals and metals are what made us,” Mayor Baker said. “Clermont was founded on the site of gold rush which sparked on the banks of Diggings Lagoon in 1861. Copperfield was founded on the discovery of pure copper in that same year. “The discovery of coal in 1864 led to the establishment of the township of Blair Athol in the early 1890s.

WAVE OF ENERGY TO INSPIRE AT WOMEN’S WEEK EVENTS IN ISAAC

Seven communities across Isaac will shine the spotlight on inspirational women who strive to set the trend in driving balance for a better working world. Residents are encouraged to help showcase pure people power at local Inspiring Women in Isaac ceremonies as part of Queensland Women’s Week and International Women’s Day between March 2-10. Mayor Baker said moving stories of triumph and tragedy to personal victory and struggle from women in Isaac inspires everyone to drive for balance. “As a mother, grandmother and local leader, I truly appreciate the role that all women play across all aspects of our communities,” she said. “It’s about family and friends coming together to celebrate our grandmothers, mothers, sisters, daughters and friends whose daily contributions make our lives and communities brighter.” The Inspiring Woman in Isaac and Inspiring Young Woman in Isaac award will be announced at: Commercial Hotel, Clermont on March 9 at 10am to 12pm Join us in a high tea celebration including an array of sweet and savoury canapes served with tea and coffee. The Queensland Women’s Week theme – Invest in women. Invest in the future – recognises that

improves their economic security, which has benefits for the entire community. Women’s financial disadvantage and economic insecurity have far-reaching impacts that can span generations, with many factors influencing women’s ability to achieve economic security. Some of these factors include: • external and social influences such as inflexible workplaces, family dynamics, cultural pressures and gendered stereotypes • women’s and girls’ participation in traditionally male-dominated fields of study • gender pay gap, including the undervaluing of traditionally female roles (both paid and unpaid) and industries such as teaching, early childhood • education and care, nursing and community services • the retirement income gap between women and men • access to safe and affordable housing.
