CRAIG WINTER ON THE anniversary of the Battle of Long Tan, Vietnam Veterans, their families and supporters gathered at the Memorial gardens within the Maryborough Services VietnamClub. Veteran’s Day on 18th August is a cause to remember both the fallen, and those who returned to a world that didn’t understand the war. The 1954-1973 conflict was the first time Australian’s at home had access to the horrific images of battle, through a media that provided nightly television footage, and when local soldiers were sent to fight in 1962, the country was divided about whether we should be supporting the US at all. A very conservative and insulated country was inundated with images of death and conflict. Protests against the war became commonplace, and when Australian soldiers returned, they became easy targets for anti-war campaigners and embarrassed politicians. To say that our Vietnam Veterans were treated badly is an understatement of epic proportions. The distaste for the war was such that it wasn’t until 1987 that the first Vets marched through the streets of Sydney in the Australian Vietnam Forces Welcome Home Parade. Almost a decade later in 1992, Vietnam Vets finally marched in their first genuine national ANZAC Day parade in Canberra. Long Tan is of course the stuff of Australian legends. In an area no bigger than two football fields the men of 6RAR (Brisbane), faced 20-1 odds from well equipped and well trained opposition but persevered to stand their ground, and overcome them. It has become the benchmark of our Vietnam campaign, albeit the Atcostliest.Thursdays gathering, wreaths were laid for all the services, as among stories of valour and bravery, there were also tales of loss and anger, of lives both changed and Itlost.was a reminder that for those of us who have never had to face heavy combat, our understanding of those who have, often fails. of the new Hervey Bay Library and twoexpandeddevelopmentat“TheAdministrationCouncilCentre.communitywillbethecoreofthisnewwithanlibraryoverlevels,anewpublic plaza and flexible spaces that can be booked for meetings or events.

Exciting milestone for PresCare

MARYBOROUGH aged care communities, Yaralla Place and Groundwater Lodge recently celebrated one year of being part of the Apollo Care Alliance. This anniversary marked a significant program of improvements for the communities that includes major investments across technology, food service, human resources and staff Apolloculture.Care says that it’s an innovative national provider of aged care and retirement living with communities in Queensland and New South Wales. “It’s unique vision is to protect the purpose, legacy and viability of not-forprofit providers, like PresCare, that play such an important role in their local community.” said a Accordingspokeperson.to Chief Operating Officer, Barry Ashcroft, key to Apollo Care’s improvements is ensuring the two communities are designed to feel like home. “We understand that older locals prefer a living environment that mirrors the look and rhythm of home. That’s why our communities have smaller homestyle spaces, and outdoor areas that provide the simple pleasures of a traditional backyard,’ he Residentialsaid. Service Manager, Judy Fisher, “Residentsagrees.and staff in our two communities have welcomed the positive changes Apollo Care is implementing, and we all enjoyed celebrating the one-year anniversary,” she “Whatsaid. makes our communities unique is the way we support residents to continue enjoying the things they’ve always enjoyed, such as gardening, craft or woodwork, playing the piano, or attending church services. We also encourage residents to invite their friends and family to visit as much as they can.” Mrs Fisher said she and her team work together to put the needs of residents first and support them to live their way, with grace and enhancementsFurtherdignity.Apollo are in the pipeline, including a significant refurbishment of Groundwater Lodge planned for later this year.

Yaralla Place is a vibrant community located in the heart of Maryborough just near the hospital, and Groundwater Lodge is a peaceful homestead set on leafy acreage in Granville. PresCare offers permanent aged care in private rooms, including secure dementia. Short-term respite care is also provided, giving relief to carers or supporting those recovering from illness and injury.

However, being so close to home after years away fighting, Warne decided to jump from the train as it slowed along the station platform at about 5am. Saying goodbye to his friend and in the surety that he was finally leaving his military life behind for his much longed-for family, he threw his kit outbag the open door and jumped after it into the However,darkness. whilst the kit bag landed safely on the platform, the train was moving faster than Warne Herealised.missed the platform, hitting a rock cutting. Warne fell badly and his legs ended up under the train carriages. Later that morning, at about 7am, Eva Lay, whose job it was to open the station gates, arrived at the isolated station to find the kitbag lying there on the empty platform. She looked around and there, nearby, found the very badly injured body of a soldier beside the track. Looking closely, she could see he was unconscious, but still breathing. Eva then sent her sister to the nearest farm to get Thehelp.owner of the farm ran back to the scene to find the almost lifeless body of a returned soldier crumpled beside the track. One cannot begin to imagine the state of mind of that farmer, Richard Warne Sr, when he realised that the young man who lay there was the much-loved and longedfor son who had survived three years of the war and whose homecoming was jubilantly expected later that day. An ambulance was called for, and it arrived to take the still breathing, but unconscious young soldier into the Sadly,Hospital.Maryboroughhepassedaway in the ambulance, at Tinana, in the arms of his father.

The very next day, on Tuesday 26 August 1919, a military funeral was held for the young soldier at St Paul’s, with a marching party of 60 returned soldiers and 20 cadets, headed by the City Band. The tragic nature of this decorated young soldier’s homecoming struck a chord with the Maryborough community. The Mayor led an appeal

Traffic Management Association of Australia (TMAA) Chief Executive Officer Louise Van Ristell welcomed the pilot and said it would provide significant data regarding the number of drivers who continue to disregard speed reductions around worksites and pose a dangerous threat to traffic controllers and “Iroadworkers.wouldlike to thank Mr Bailey for launching this pilot and taking up the baton to make worksites safe for all, as speed is a key element in the dayto-day danger faced by our industry and those we protect on roads and all worksites,” Ms Van Ristell Thissaid. new CameratechnologyenforcementispartoftheDetectedOffence Program.

TMR Director-General Neil Scales said the cameras were different for roadworks sites and school “Researchzones. demonstratedhas a clear link between camera enforcement and reductions in speed-related fatalities and serious injuries,” Mr Scales said. “We asked the contractor to design and build the solar-powered roadworks speed cameras to sit on top of a mobile platform to allow for manoeuvrability around a work site. “At school zones, the cameras will be installed in specially designed, stationary school zone signs but can be moved around as needed.”

cameras will pop up in high-risk locations next month so I am giving Queenslanders fair warning that these can be anywhere, anytime. “It’s vital we do everything we can to keep the vulnerable in our community safe on our roads and these cameras will help to achieve that.” Mr Bailey said the initiative reflects the theme of this year’s Queensland Road Safety Week, Road safety starts with me, highlighting every road user has a role to play in keeping themselves and others safe while on or near our “Forroads.the eighth year, we’re partnering with Queensland Police Service to celebrate the many ways Queenslanders can help to make our roads safer every day,” he said.

“Australia’s Z fans have been waiting patiently for the new icon of Nissan performance to arrive, and we wanted to give them an idea of just what to look forward to,” said Nissan Australia Managing Director, Adam Paterson. “So what better place to send Nissan’s all-new Z than to one of Australia’s finest driving roads? All that’s left now is to sit back, turn the volume right up, and enjoy the Equippedshow.” with a 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6, the allnew Z produces 298kW and 475Nm - almost 22 per cent and 31 per cent more than its predecessor - ensuring exhilarating performance, and delivering a zero-to100km/h dash now around 15 per cent quicker than the 370Z it replaces. The vehicle’s power-toweight ratio has been improved by 13 per cent, and the enhanced body rigidity and wider front tyres also help increase maximum cornering g by up to 13 per cent.

The countdown to the allnew Z’s official launch in Australia continues.

Tough season for Maryborough clubs in FQ Premier League reins and began preparing for season 2023 and “Itbeyond.hasbeen a season of ups and downs, but we take a lot of positives out of the growth of the young players we have brought into the team,” Butcher said. He believes the club’s growth is fantastic, and a bright 2023 season awaits.

The team secured five wins from the season. Sunbury coach Adam Bull acknowledged that it was a tough season, but the future is bright for the “Itclub.was a bit disappointing, to be honest, we lost a few games that we should have won, but on a positive note, we are finishing the season strong,” Bull said. He believes the club’s depth has been a strength this year, and the only way is up with the juniors coming through. The club has given several a taste of the premier league this season and believes it will be a benefit in the years to come. “Justin Linwood is returning to the club to coach the team next year, and the oldest on the team is in his mid-twenties. If we keep them together, we will be strong for years to come,” he said. Dan Rapps has led the Doon Villa Magpies this season and, like Sunbury, scored five wins. The Magpies shared the same challenges as Sunbury and Granville but believe the club will continue to grow and develop over the next few Granville’sseasons. season ended with one win and one draw, with the club changing coaches mid-season after Michael Johnson stood Camerondown.

THE days have certainly been heating up and the winds have been kinder. Whether you headed wide or fished the rivers and estuaries, the fish were hitting those baits with Let’saggression.lookat the report. Tinnanbah ledge has been producing some quality reef fish including estuary cod, blackall and squire up to 40cm, and Poona has been reporting quality flathead Warmer fishing on the way FISHING in numbers working the sand flats on the making Trollingtide. the deeper channels has paid off for anglers with a mixed catch of spottie, schoolie and grey mackerel taking medium diving lures from 90150mm and tailor landed as Tailorwell.are also being taken off the beach at Poona and Boonooroo and there are great reports coming in from the back beach of MaaroomFraser. and the surrounding estuary system has seen some monster summer whiting up to 40 cm. The preferred bait has been worms or yabbies but for the sports fisherman, chasing those elbow slappers using poppers or pencils sure does get the adrenalin going. The inshore protected reefs such as the Artificial, Mickey’s and Sammie’s, were a little quiet over the last fortnight however anglers were still able to get a good feed of grassy sweetlip, snapper, moses perch, estuary cod and Winterblackall.whiting reports are still coming in from Toogoom, Burrum Heads, and Gatakers and drifting the Strait are all producing. Mud and sand crabs are being potted so worth soaking a pot. With snapper and pearl perch both being back open many fishos have been heading out wide and landing some great catches.
