The Cork Twins

Twins, Aubrey (Aub) and Clarence (Bruiser) Cork were born 106 years ago in Maleny. Their parents, Clarence Aubrey and Martha Cork, moved to Maleny from Milton, NSW in 1914 and were farmers.

The lads went to school in Maleny and both remembered long holidays at Caloundra occasionally.

They took out a lease on Moffit’s property which had the milk run for the town attached, then a few years later the lease on Alan Mears property.

They were successful in their farming ventures and at their peak, owned three farms and kept two families employed.

Both were keen sportsman. The cricket oval at the Maleny Showgrounds is named the Aub Cork Oval.

Happy 106 Heavenly Birthday Aub and Bruiser. Enjoy two biographies from two families, Rob Cork and Pamela Tierney at: http://www.malenyhistoricalmemories.com/.../ cork_aub... http://www.malenyhistoricalmemories.com/.../ cork_clarence…

Maleny Players Next Production!

We’re excited to be bringing you 'Dancing with Lughnasa' by Brian Friel- and Directed by Andrew Wallace. Dancing at Lughnasa is a 1990 play set in a cottage in County Donegal in 1936. It’s a household of five unmarried sisters who would all like to be married. The youngest has an illegitimate son, the eldest tries to keep preserve family respectability. But now the father of the child re-appears, full of seductive charm, while an elder brother has just returned after decades working as a priest in Africa and is strangely changed.

In the back hills there are still lingering pagan rituals, Lugh (pronounced ‘Loo’) being the ancient Celtic god of the harvest. The rhythms of family life play out against broader social tensions and economic hardship. You will enjoy meeting these fundamentally good-hearted and resilient people.

At Friday evening performances you are invited to come along at 6pm to purchase a bowl of Irish stew to enjoy whilst being entertained with music on the veranda at the Playhouse.

Please purchase your tickets early to avoid disappointment.

We look forward to seeing you at the Playhouse.

Zonta International is an international service organisation with the mission of advancing the status of women.
