Clermont Historical Centre triggers ‘A Flood of Memories’ Relive stories of courage, heroism and tragedy during the Clermont Historical Centre’s ‘A Flood of Memories’ Exhibition.
Clermont Historical Centre Co-ordinator Deb Alvoen said the exhibition will feature photography by Clermont resident Gordon Pullar.
The exhibition, commemorating the centenary of the devastating 1916 Clermont Flood, opens Wednesday, August 31 and runs until December 2017.
“Mr Pullar captured some amazing images from the height of the flood and destruction, through to the eventual rebuilding of the town.
Mayor Anne Baker said the exhibition is a collection of local stories, photos and memorabilia from one of the deadliest floods in Australian history.
“Another highlight of the exhibition, which can be found in the grounds of the Clermont Historical Centre, is the highly revered Aveling and Porter traction steam engine that relocated numerous buildings after the flood.
“In the early hours of December 28, 1916 a wall of water laid ruin to the old town of Clermont after a cyclone crossed the Queensland coast. “More than 60 lives were tragically lost, 10 homes destroyed, 50 buildings damaged and 10,000 head of livestock killed.
‘A Flood of Memories’ is just one of the events Council has planned to commemorate the Centenary of the 1916 Clermont Flood. For a full list of 1916 flood commemorative events please visit Council’s website www.isaac.qlg.gov.au
“’A Flood of Memories’ will showcase what life in Clermont was like during the early days of settlement right up to that fateful morning when flood waters devastated the town. Isaac... helping to energise the world

Isaac residents invited to have their say Isaac Regional Council is inviting residents and community groups to have their say on a new Recreation and Open Space Strategy for the region.
Once drafted, the Recreation and Open Space Strategy will be made available for a final round of public consultation.
From August 22 to September 16 residents can complete an online survey to let Council know what they enjoy doing most in Isaac, how often they do it, and how Council can improve.
The online survey will be open until Friday September 16 at www.isaac.qld.gov.au and hardcopies are available at Isaac Regional Council Offices.
Mayor Anne Baker said Council is hoping the community will embrace the opportunity to have their say. “It’s important to hear what our communities value in our parks, facilities, sportsgrounds and open spaces,” she said. “We’re looking for areas to improve, and to ensure our final strategy aligns with the long-term needs and expectations of residents. “Council is also meeting in-person with sports clubs and key user groups across Isaac to make sure we really get it right.” Council’s final Recreation and Open Space Strategy will provide a blueprint for the long-term development of Isaac’s facilities and outdoor spaces.
Hundreds flock to Gold and Coal Festival More than 1500 people flocked to the Clermont Gold and Coal Festival over the weekend. The festival showcased local arts, culture and rich history, from August 19-20. Isaac Councillor Dale Appleton said the highlight of the event was the moving lantern ceremony commemorating the 1916 Clermont Flood.
“From the local art in the Pimp Yo’ Pan Art Competition to the market stalls and live entertainment, there was something for everyone to enjoy. “Thanks to the volunteers, schools and community groups who pulled together to make this year’s Festival bigger and better than ever.
“Some 300 lanterns were released onto Hoods Lagoon including lotus flower lanterns to honour those who tragically lost their lives during the devastating flood. “Congratulations to the Gold and Coal Festival committee and Clermont Artslink for hosting another fantastic event.” Festival organiser Danny McKay said it was a highly successful weekend. “I don’t think we could have expected a better show of support from the community.

Libraries strive to end violence ‘One Million Stars to End Violence’ is a love and peace filled community project started by Brisbane artist Maryann Talia Pau and supported by the Queensland Government. Mayor Anne Baker invites everyone from individuals to community groups to help weave stars at Isaac Libraries from Monday August 29 until July 2017. “The stars are symbols of light, courage and solidarity to end all forms of violence, including violence against women, bullying and racism,” she said.
“As a community, silence and ignorance surrounding violence will not be tolerated. “Its projects like these that raise awareness, help people in need and let them know they are not alone. “It also gives a platform for people to stand up publicly and say we will no longer tolerate any form of violence.” All stars created will be on display at Isaac Libraries until July 2017 before being added to the display for the Commonwealth Games.
“We will be joining individuals, groups and communities from around Queensland to weave stars from ribbon. “Isaac’s goal is to weave 10,000 stars to contribute to the display at the 2018 Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast. “Isaac Libraries will run special star weaving sessions during the launch week next week. “The libraries will also have star weaving work stations set up for everyone to use at their leisure, during operational hours.

Be prepared for flying fox season With flying foxes migrating through Isaac between August – January, Isaac Regional Council is advising residents to take the time now to prepare. With colonies taking roost in Moranbah, Middlemount and Clermont last season, Mayor Anne Baker said preparation is vital. “After little red flying foxes took roost in the backyards of residents and in public spaces last year, it’s important to take steps now to prepare and to know what to do if you spot flying foxes in your yard,” she said.
“Please remember disturbing, hurting or causing nuisance to flying foxes without a permit is illegal.” To minimise the impacts of flying fox migrations, Council advises residents to: • Make trees near houses less attractive to flying-foxes by clearing the under-storey and removing some branches of the trees. • Planting low, dense trees and shrubs around fence lines to form a barrier that flying foxes are unlikely to roost in. • Not disturb flying foxes resting during the day as this stresses the bats and reduces their ability to migrate away from town. Council will prepare and monitor public spaces, and will continue to work with the community to help manage flying fox populations.
“A reminder that nighttime feeding activity is normal but daytime activity may be a sign of a roost.
In the unlikely event you are scratched or bitten by a flying fox seek medical attention immediately.
“If you spot flying foxes roosting in your trees during the daytime, contact Council immediately, and our environmental team will investigate.”
