RESIDENTS are soon to go to the polls in the 2024 State Elections.
Seven candidates have registered for Maryborough, a seat that is currently held by Labor’s Bruce Saunders by an estimated 11% margin.
Mr Saunders first won the seat in 2015, over the LNP’s Anne Maddern, was well ahead on first preferences in 2017 ahead of Fraser Coast Councillor
James Hansen for One Nation with over 45% of the vote and then increased his margin in 2020 ahead of LNP candidate, another Fraser Coast Councillor Denis Chapman.
This year, first time candidate John Barounis feels that the margin has narrowed enough that he can take the seat for the LNP.
Bruce Saunders admits that statewide the election may be closer than in many recent polls, but thinks he has the experience and runs on the board to retain Maryborough.
Barounis has lived and worked in Maryborough for the past ten years with his family, serving on several local community groups, and is an enthusiastic supporter of small business with a focus on reducing the cost of living.
Saunders has also owned businesses in Maryborough. He was named Assistant
Minister for Train Manufacturing after the 2020 election and is the current Assistant Minister for Regional Development and Jobs since Steven Miles became Premier in last year.
One Nation’s Taryn Gillard is a business owner who says that there is a lack of transparency, out-of-control spending and community support within the current government.
Her community involvement includes starting a food program for those in need during the pandemic.
Kerry Petrus began full time work as a governess on an outback sheep station and remains passionate about
on voting options and polling booth locations can be found at
education and access for regional communities to quality services.
She now stands as the candidate for Family First, a party that promotes itself as a movement that “will fight for and sustain the social and economic wellbeing of the nation by promoting family, life, faith, freedom, enterprise and subsidiarity (empowering individuals, families and communities to resolve the matters closest to them).”
Independent Daniel Beattie ran in the recent Fraser Coast Regional Council elections, and has put his hand up again on October 26th.
His inner-city refurbishment
of several apartments means he has a keen eye on security, crime and CBD development.

CRAIG WINTER
Home of Maryborough rugby league promised a major revamp
CRAIG WINTER
LOCAL MP Bruce
Saunders once called the football at Eskdale Park as part of his job with radio station 4MB.
Those days are long gone but Mr Saunders is keeping his connection to the sport by announcing a $2 million package to update the venue.
Eskdale Park is home to the Maryborough Wallaroos, the oldest continuous rugby league club in Australia and hosts a number of key sporting events each year.
The ground is also home to the women’s 2024 premiership winning Crushers team.
It is however, run down and losing opportunities due to the lack of facilities.
The funding will pay for updated lighting on the second field, canteen, grandstand and change rooms which will cater for a wider variety of teams including women and children.
Mr Saunders said that the park created opportunities for up and coming young players and was an important part of Maryborough’s sporting infrastructure.
“You never know when the next Broncos NRL of Cowboys NRLW player is taking to the field in a Roos jersey, and giving them the best start to their footy careers matters to me.”
Labor previously provided funding for upgrades after the 2020 election.
That $1.3 million built fences, irrigation and other infrastructure.
The recent explosion in popularity of new womens’ teams in the competition has seen some clubs double in size and become more sustainable with the increased membership making them more economically viable than ever before..
QRL Wide Bay Area Manager Bryce Holdsworth said that womens and junior teams haven’t been able to call
Eskdale Park home due to it’s aged infrastructure.
“There have been around 880 junior rugby league registrations on the Fraser Coast already this year, and we want to see that growth continue. “ he said.
“Eskdale Park used to be one of the best and most respected grounds in regional Queensland, and we look forward to when it can be again, with these upgrades.”
Eskdale park needs a makeover.

Greens announce candidate
THE Greens have chosen teacher Lauren GrangerBrown as the party’s candidate for the seat of Maryborough at this month’s state election.
Ms Granger-Brown said her work as an English teacher and teachertrainer had taken her throughout Australia and the world, making her appreciate what the region has to offer.
“The opportunities for us to thrive are enormous, but we face threats like never before, and we must be prepared to meet these head on,” she said.
“We need to listen to experts, not political soundbites.”
Ms Granger-Brown said Labor and the LNP had prioritised big business and their profits over everyday Queenslanders.
“The Greens don’t take corporate donations, so we work for you, not vested interests,” she said.
“We will take on the big corporations that are ripping off Queenslanders.
“We’ll make them pay their fair share and use that money to build 100,000 public homes, fully fund schools, provide free childcare, hospitals and essential services.”
Ms Granger-Brown, who received 6.2 per cent of the vote as the Greens candidate for Gympie at the 2020 state election, said the party also had plans to tackle the cost of living.
“We’ll freeze rents and cap increases and make groceries cheaper by breaking up the duopoly power of Coles and Woolies and stopping corporate price gouging for essentials,” she said.
“We’ll cut power bills with 100 per cent publicly owned renewable energy.
“We’ll invest in public transport and make it free.”
Election brings promises of cash for community groups
CRAIG WINTER
Trevor Goodall of the Burrum Men’s Shed says a donation promised by local LNP candidate John Barounis is an endorsement of the Australian Men’s Shed Association aims.
“We provide a safe and supportive environment for men to gather, volunteer, work, learn and seek friendship…avoiding isolation and mental health issues.”
“We are so appreciative of all support given… as it enables us to offer additional services to our community.” he said.
Mr Barounis has promised $22,000 if elected from the Right Plan for Queensland’s Future program.
“The $22,000 is part of the LNP’s focus on ensuring that support is provided for all Queenslanders, especially people in regional and rural areas.”
“This donation will provide for the purchase of IT equipment, tools and a wood engraving machine at the Men’s Shed.”
he said.
Several groups from the Maryborough area have benefitted from the program, including RDT Angels who will see a funding boost of $20,000 if the LNP are elected.
The funding will allow the Angels to complete a food truck designed to boost their fundraising capacity.
The group donates money to local charitable groups including TESS, Share the Dignity and Angel Flight.
“This fit-out will support the great work these volunteers do. It will allow pallets of food to be collected from Foodbank Qld, include a pull-out BBQ with workbenches and food preparation spaces. It will mean these volunteers spend more time serving our community,” said Mr Barounis.
“Labor’s failures have overseen $20 billion-plus in project cost blowouts that could have instead delivered grassroots infrastructure like ROT Angels and their food truck.
“Queenslanders should have a government that delivers the programs and services needed for the State’s future, supporting our communities.”
Eleni Hill, Founder and Team Leader, welcomed the announcement and said it would increase access to healthy meals for those in need in our community.
“This fit-out will allow us to expand our services to more people of Maryborough and the Fraser Coast region. It will open up new opportunities for our volunteers who enjoy making a difference to the well-being of others.” Ms Hill said.

Middle East conflicts remembered
CRAIG WINTER
AUSTRALIAN
servicemen and women who served in Middle Eastern conflicts were remembered on Sunday 13th October with a service at the Cenotaph.
Sunday’s commemoration acknowledged the service of our military in Afghanistan and Iraq, those lost in the wars, and the ongoing challenges experienced by many who returned home.
Australia first committed military personnel to
Afghanistan in October 2001 after the 11 September attacks on the World Trade Centre.
Over 26,000 Australians have served in Afghanistan, with 46 killed, and 261 wounded.
In 2005, Australia contributed 2,000 troops to the Al Muthanna Task Group, a battlegroup deployed to Al Muthanna Province in support of Japanese engineers and to provide trainers for the Iraqi military. Four were killed in service.

Teen killer may serve less than five years
ONE of the teens involved in the murder of Uber driver Scotty
may serve less than five years in gaol, after being sentenced today.
Brisbane Supreme Court
Justice Peter Davis ordered that Ty Porter serve just 50% of his 9.5 year sentence, meaning he will be eligible for parole in August 2029.
His accomplice was sentenced to 15 years, and will serve a minimum of 9 years behind bars for Mr Cabrie’s death in February 2023.
Scott Cabrie’s family are said to have been devastated by the senseless waste of life.
“Scott was killed for no reason,” they said and called the sentences a “joke”.
“We all know what message this sends to our local youths.”
Justice Davis said the
pair had had difficult upbringings and had been “exposed to alcohol and substance abuse from a young age.”
Both sentences were backdated to 2023, when the teens were taken into custody.
The court had heard that Porter and his co-accused had been drinking when they armed themselves with a knife to steal Mr Cabrie’s car.
He was forced into the boot of his own vehicle and driven to the boat ramp, where he was stabbed in the chest and legs.
They then dumped Mr Cabrie’s body before setting the vehicle on fire to destroy evidence.
Scotty was a well loved local radio announcer and Uber driver whose death sparked an outpouring of grief and a renewed focus on youth crime in the region.
Bauple Picnic celebrates community
THE Bauple community will come together next month for an afternoon of music, food and artist workshops, while also preparing for the upcoming wet season.
Fraser Coast Regional Councillor Phil Truscott said Council will host the Bauple Community Picnic on Saturday, 2 November as part of a disaster resilience and recovery initiative aimed at bringing people together.
“We’ve already hosted Community Picnics in Glenwood, Tiaro, Maryborough and Gundiah this year, and we’re excited to hold the final event in Bauple on 2 November,” he said.
“These picnics offer wonderful opportunities for people to connect, enjoy live entertainment, savour some delicious food, and take part in workshops led
by talented local artists and artisans.”
Cr Truscott said community unity in the face of natural disasters was vital.
“While it’s been two years since our last major floods, natural disasters can strike at any time. It’s essential that our community comes together, builds relationships, and strengthens our collective resilience to better face these challenges,” he said.
The Bauple Community Picnic will take place from 3pm to 6pm on Saturday 2 November at the Bauple Recreation Grounds featuring:
• Live music from Karl Mclean;
• Free artist workshops from Jo Williams (communal map artwork), Zela Bissett (flood reflections) and Catriona
Holland (Bureau of Meteorology weather collage);
• Food and drink stalls.
The Fraser Coast community picnics are jointly funded by the Australian and Queensland Governments under the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements.

2024 Age Pension Guide now available
THE updated 2024 guide to the Age Pension, including payment rates, assets tests and conditions, is now available from the office of the Federal Member for Wide Bay, Llew O’Brien.
“Payment rates, rules, and other details for the Age Pension are updated twice a year,” Mr O’Brien said.
“Some of the rules are quite complex so I provide an Age Pension Guide to ensure Wide Bay pensioners have access to up-to-date information that is clear and easy to understand.”
“The October 2024 Age Pension Guide contains information about the
guidelines, payments and eligibility tests relating to the Age Pension, as well as commonly asked questions and useful contact telephone numbers.”
Mr O’Brien said a range of factors could affect Age Pension payments, including the income and asset tests, deeming rates, and other provisions.
“These asset tests and other provisions are adjusted from time to time and can change the amount of assistance that pensioners are entitled to receive, so it is important that people have access to the latest information about the support that is available.”
“The Guide also provides helpful information about the Pension Bonus and Work Bonus Schemes, the Carer Payment and Allowance, and health and concession cards that are available to pensioners.”
People on the mailing list should receive their copy of the Guide in the post next week.
The Guide is available free of charge and can be ordered by telephoning 4121 2936, or downloaded from the Constituent Hub/ Helpful Guides section of Mr O’Brien’s website at https://llewobrien.com.au/ helpful-guides/

Literary Competition winners
MARYBOROUGH’S mission to encourage children to imagine and promote a love of writing and reading was proudly on display last Saturday (October 12) when the winners of the 2024 Mary Poppins Literary Competition were announced.
Some 26 young creatives from 10 schools on the Fraser Coast, as well as several home-schooled students, received prizes totalling $2000 making it
Australia’s richest writing competition for young people.
Organised by Mary Inc. with support from the Fraser Coast Regional Council, the competition kicked off in 1999 to honour Pamela L. Travers, the creator of Mary Poppins.
About 50 people attended an informal award ceremony at Gatakers Art Space to celebrate the achievements of the
young writers.
“Celebration” was the theme this year as it marks the 90th anniversary of when Mary Poppins came to life, the 125th anniversary of the birth of Pamela Travers, in what is now Maryborough’s Story Bank, and the 25th anniversary of this writing competition.
The Cherry Tree Foundation in London (P L Traver’s Trust) is
the major sponsor of the competition. A number of highly commended certificates were issued this year due to the high number and quality of entries.
Principal of Central State School, Rebecca Dickens, guest speaker at the awards ceremony, said that writing could be seen as one of the most important inventions in humanity.
“It has allowed us to record ideas, history and discoveries across centuries around the world,” she said.
Reflecting on the future she told the young writers that “imagination is your gift” and that being a lifelong learner by making mistakes and learning from them, will make you, in the words of Mary Poppins and P.L Travers, “practically perfect in every way”.
Krissy Katt, a former Central State School student who won the literary award for her year in 1999, helped present the prizes.
The competition engendered a lifelong love of reading, Krissy said, adding that her three children are also keen readers.
The winners are: Grades 3&4, Literary 1st Archer Lorenz, Riverside Christian College
2nd Manny Haase, Riverside Christian College

Spread the festive cheer and Light up the Fraser Coast!
It’s time to untangle your fairy lights and start planning your Christmas light displays.
Fraser Coast residents planning on decorating their homes for Christmas can register now to be part of the Fraser Coast Christmas Lights Trail.
Fraser Coast Regional Councillor John Weiland said 150 families put their homes on the map in 2023, so we’re hoping to include even more this year.
“This is a wonderful opportunity for residents to showcase their decorated homes for everyone to enjoy and spread festive cheer,” he said.
“Last year, we had some amazing light displays with Ronaldo Way in Urangan crowned Christmas Street for 2023.”
“Before that, Kingfisher Drive in Oakhurst won Christmas Street for three years in a row.”
Cr Weiland said if three or more neighbours team up, they are eligible for the title of Christmas Street, judged by the Mayor.
“The winning street earns a ‘Christmas Street’ sign to display for 12 months.”
Julie Deakin from Ronaldo Way said decorating for

Cr Weiland said to participate in the Christmas Lights Trail, you must fill out the online registration form on the Council website www. frasercoast.qld.gov.au/ festive.
“Residents can also visit Council Customer Service centres or ring Council on 1300 79 49 29 to ask a Customer Service Officer to help them fill in the online form.
“Council will create a map of the Christmas lights, which will be available on our website.”
Registrations close at 5pm on Thursday, Nov 21.

MP calls for more local contracts
MEMBER for
Maryborough Bruce Saunders is calling on the Australian Government to bring more manufacturing jobs to the Maryborough electorate.
The Miles Labor Government brought train manufacturing back to Maryborough, protecting the hundreds of secure local jobs it supports and locking in the local industry’s future.
The Maryborough region has proven manufacturing capability, with a
proud history of train manufacturing, munitions at NIOA and soon iron-flow batteries with early works at ESl’s facility getting underway in September.
The Federal Government is set to make a decision soon on a major manufacturing contract for artillery shells for the defence force.
Local MP Bruce Saunders is calling on the Federal Government to back more manufacturing jobs in the Maryborough region because the local industry has proven it is up to
the task and capable of delivering, including for the defence force.
The Miles Labor Government backed NIOA with a $7.5 million investment to attract the facility to Maryborough, and an additional $9 million to assist with the facility’s complex electricity connections.
The Maryborough facility is now the most modern of its type in the world, another “feather in the bow of the Maryborough electorate’s record as the hub of
manufacturing excellence.”
Bruce Saunders said “We’ve shown we can produce anything here in Maryborough. I reckon if you can’t make it in Maryborough, you can’t make it anywhere.
“We have a long and proud manufacturing history in the Maryborough region, I fought to rebuild it, and I’ll always fight to see it grow.
“If the Defence Force thinks there’s anywhere else better to manufacture munitions, they’re kidding
themselves.” he added.
“I fought hard to bring train manufacturing back home and protect local jobs after the LNP turned their back on Maryborough and sent train manufacturing overseas.”
“The last time the LNP were in government they sent train manufacturing overseas, and I’ll never back down in the fight to protect it.”
Road in Craignish upgraded for safety
A KEY link road in the rapidly growing area of Craignish is getting a multi-million-dollar makeover to make it safer and smoother.
Fraser Coast Regional Councillor Michelle Govers said Castles Road South from Dublin Road to Craignish Road would be rebuilt over the next eight months.
“The Fraser Coast is one of the fastest growing regions in Queensland, with many new residents and businesses moving into suburbs on the outskirts of Hervey Bay like Craignish and Dundowran,” she said.
“Castles Road South in Craignish has shown considerable wear and tear and was identified during Council’s asset inspection program as needing an upgrade.
“The $2.7 million project will include excavating the existing surfacing and pavement, earthworks, installing new pavement and widening the road, building a new stormwater drainage culvert and culvert crossings, bitumen resurfacing, marking and signage, and reinstatement works.”
Cr Govers said Council was responsible for about 2,700 kilometres of roads and footpaths throughout the region, with $103 million allocated in the 2024/25 budget to maintain and improve roads, bridges, footpaths, coastal protection and drainage.
“Council is committed to effectively managing and maintaining our assets, and that’s what this
she said.
“A traffic management plan will be in place during the works allowing for one lane/one way travel, with a full road closure during the culvert crossing works.”
Work on the upgrade started this week and is due to be completed by May 2025, weather permitting.
road reconstruction is all about,”
Historic train corridor now attracts slower traffic
by FRASER COAST MAYOR GEORGE SEYMOUR
THE village of Aldershot beside the Bruce Highway just north of Maryborough seems very different to the end of the Urangan Pier but the two are actually connected by a thin ribbon of land that represents an important aspect of our region’s history.
In 1896 a new railway line branched off of the North Coast Railway Line just outside of Aldershot, in the locality known as Colton.
The line at first went to Pialba, but the ultimate aim, which was not achieved for over two decades was for the trains to transport goods out to ships at a new port, through what became known as the Urangan Pier.
The railway tracks that branched off of the main line at this quiet spot in the forest near Aldershot to make their way out over the pier, have been ripped up and removed.
The path they took though now serves as a reminder, and an interesting place to explore.
Not all, but most of the old railway corridor is now accessible.
From the Urangan Pier and within the Hervey Bay urban area it takes the form of much-utilised bitumen pathway.
Backyards that used to look out to see locomotives now see pedestrians, bicycles and scooters.
Further out of town the track is a dirt one.
It is an enjoyable place to spend time, whether on bicycle or by foot.
In places large timber bridges still stand, and beside the pathway can be found smaller relics such as the timber sleepers and rail spikes.
Volunteers with the Fraser Coast Bicycle Users Group have been instrumental over the past few years in undertaking works to make the rail trail corridor
useable, and complete so that a trip can be made from Maryborough to Urangan.
It has been a long time since the trains made their way between Maryborough and Hervey Bay, but through this pathway that has been left behind, it is possible to get a sense of what the journey for the passengers was like.

New car park system set to take off at Hervey Bay Airport
GETTING in and out of the Hervey Bay Airport will soon be easier, with work commencing on an upgrade to the new car park system starting next week.
Fraser Coast Mayor George Seymour said upgrades at the airport are progressing alongside rising passenger numbers since Jetstar launched direct flights between Hervey Bay and Melbourne in June.
“Passenger numbers have steadily increased each month, with a 44.3% rise since September 2023,” he said.
“The Hervey Bay Airport is busier than ever, handling 20,000 passengers per month, further solidifying the Fraser Coast as a mustvisit destination.”
Cr Seymour said work on the new ticketless car park system starts next week and is due to be finished by November 2024.
“This system offers greater convenience, is eco-friendly, and will reduce entry and exit times,” he said.
“Council recently
introduced 30 minutes of free parking, removing the need to use the twominute lane for pick up and drop off, making travel more affordable for our community.
“The 30-minute free parking will remain, but those staying longer will need to pay at one of two new payment machines before exiting the car park.
“You can pay at the terminal by inputting your number plate into the payment machine or you can simply drive to the exit gate and swipe your credit card.
“Council is committed to continually upgrading the airport to make the overall travel experience more comfortable and convenient for passengers.”
Hervey Bay Airport has commercial flights that operate regularly to and from Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Lady Elliot Island and K’gari.
Earlier this year, the airport’s departure lounge received an interim upgrade to accommodate 250 passengers and reduce crowding during peak times. Permanent improvements are
expected to begin in July 2025.
“In the coming months, we will also upgrade the baggage handling system with state-of-the-art equipment,” Cr Seymour said.
“This new equipment will reduce wait times, minimise breakdowns, and make luggage handling quicker and more efficient.”
Cr Seymour said the growing number of passengers is a great sign for the region.
“With the increased interstate flights from Melbourne and Sydney, we are seeing more and more people recognise what a great destination the Fraser Coast is,” he said.
“Council is focused on building a strong, resilient and diversified economy

Lowering of volunteer age will help
From the MARYBOROUGH ANIMAL REFUGE
The Maryborough Animal Refuge is excited to announce that volunteers aged 16 and 17 years can now volunteer at the Refuge.
President Natalie Tkaczynski said: “Recent changes in our insurance has made it possible to offer this opportunity to all those younger than 18 who would like to help out with the animals.”
The Refuge Managers say that every week they have had to turn away volunteers who are under 18.
This is heart-breaking, not only for the volunteers themselves, but also for the Refuge, which is always short of volunteers.
For those who are aged 16 and 17 years, parental or guardian permission will be required before they can be accepted.
They and their decisionmakers must be aware that an Animal Refuge is considered a highrisk facility, with the possibility of unintentional scratches, bites or bruises from excitable or young cats and dogs.
The young people must also be able to do their work independently once they have learned their duties.
Senor Manager, Tegan Kochel, said that the
Refuge is in dire straits over a shortage in volunteers to clean the dog and cat pens, and to exercise the dogs.
“We need reliable people to turn up for their rostered shifts from 7am to 10am to help take care of the animals.
“Yes, it is noisy and smelly. But the warm welcome you get from the Refuge animals – both dogs and cats – makes it all worthwhile.
“The cleaners are often the first to build a relationship with an abandoned pet who feels confused and frightened. Without enough volunteers to clean and exercise the animals, we have to limit the number that we can save.”
Additional dog exercisers are also needed throughout the day up until 2pm every weekday and including Saturdays.
The dogs can either be taken into the exercise yards to run around and play, or they can be walked with leads along the road to enjoy the different smells.
Without these extra walks, the dogs only get out once
in the morning.
This makes for a very long and boring day for them.
Extra time out of their pens means that they do not have to mess in their pens and it settles them down.
Natalie said: “We know that there are many youngsters in our community who would love the opportunity to help our animals, either just for pleasure or because they would like
to further a career in the animal sector.
“In return, we hope that this will increase the number of volunteers working with us and enable us to save more animals.”

FOR Kids BY Kids
Hello Maryborough!
Hello Maryborough! My name is Phoebe Lee and I am twelve years old. For Kids by Kids talks about interesting topics and activities from kids’ point of view.
ARE you looking for an all-ages peek into the paranormal this Halloween?
The Maryborough Fairies Reborn Magic Nursery, also known as the Haunted Doll Museum, is a fantastic experience in Maryborough, full of spectacular spooks of all kinds for young and old.
The museum includes a collection of approximately 27,000 dolls for visitors to seethe largest haunted doll collection in Australia!
At the museum, I met the owner, the wonderfully kind and generous Silvia.
I would like to thank her for the kindness and generosity she showed during my visit, where
she gave me an insight to the comings and goings of the museum.
According to Silvia, the museum celebrated its oneyear anniversary earlier this month.
Located on 115 March Street, and open on Thursdays to Sundays, the building has many tales to tell.
“This amazing building was built in the 1800s with a rich history both historic, tragic and spooky,” Silvia said in a Facebook post on her page, Fairies Reborn Magic Nursery Haunted Doll Museum.
Sure enough, the structure is littered with fascinating ghost stories of all kinds, that include the sounds of children giggling in the hallways, or dolls appearing in different positions where they had not been previously.
It is a must-see in Maryborough, the best place to go for a spooky treat! But where did it all begin?
Silvia’s extensive collection of dolls began with Isabella, a reborn doll Silvia received for her birthday.
From there, Silvia began making reborn dolls herself, which she would give to support those in aged care with conditions such as Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease.
Her collection grew and grew, eventually turning into the Haunted Doll Museum that we know and love in Maryborough today.
In addition to these frights and delights, the Haunted Doll Museum is also home to a monthly ghost tour or paranormal investigation, where you can share ghostly tales of your own with a cup of milo and your family, along with a personal tour through the museum.
Did you know that October isn’t just the month of Halloween? It is also Domestic Violence Awareness month.
If you and your family want to support those in
need, then be sure to bring a gold coin donation to the doll museum for Halloween. Proceeds go to GIVIT charity.
Silvia has worked so hard to build this experience for Maryborough, and deserves every bit of appreciation she gets.

This State Election, the future is in the stalks
The old butchers’ art
LINDSAY TITMARSH
Prior to intervention in the 1970s by city bureaucrats from Brisbane, which resulted in local butchers losing their independence and quite often their business, Maryborough had many family butcher shops operating.
Most of us ‘oldies’ from the last century will remember seeing our local butchers with their navycoloured aprons with horizontal white stripes, as well as their scabbard which held an assortment of knives.
From Canegrowers
Chairman OWEN MENKENS
WE STAND at a pivotal moment—a rare opportunity to build a transformative new industry in Queensland.
This is our chance to create thousands of jobs in our regions and inject billions into our state and local economies.
Just as we harnessed the mining boom and embraced tourism, we now have a once-in-ageneration opportunity before us.
But it’s crucial that our government fully supports this vision as it unfolds.
As the state election approaches, I’m calling on you to lend your voice to the growing demand for a sustainable biofuels industry in Queensland.
A new industry that if we work together can sit side by side with our successful sugar industry.
Together, we can ignite a movement that will shape our future for the better.
Every election cycle, CANEGROWERS champions better outcomes for growers, but this time feels different.
This time we also have a bold, transformative vision that can redefine our economy and protect our environment.
But it will only happen with the right policy settings.
Policies that lower input costs, especially around electricity and water, that improve funding for research and development, reduce red tape and regulations, and allow Queensland’s vibrant sugarcane industry to grow and become the cornerstone of our biofuels future.
Imagine a future where thousands of jobs thrive in regional Queensland, where billions flow into local economies, and where we lead the way in sustainable aviation fuel.
This isn’t just a dream - it’s within our grasp if we commit to building a biofuels industry that uses sugarcane as its primary feedstock.
While countries like India and Brazil are racing ahead in establishing sustainable aviation fuel industries, we cannot afford to fall behind.
There’s a genuine desire among Australian airlines, private investors, and our government to invest in this future.
Yet, so far, we’ve only seen words and minimal investment.
Now is the time to take decisive action!
We’re urging all political parties to recognise that the future is in the stalks - not in never-ending talks.
Let’s build on our existing successful sugar industry with a new industry that generates jobs and addresses the urgent challenge to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
If you believe in this vision for a prosperous Queensland, I urge you to join us!
Visit www. growthforgenerations. com.au and make your voice heard.
Together, we can call on our politicians to commit to a vibrant biofuels industry that benefits our regions, our state, and our planet.
Let’s seize this opportunity and shape a brighter future for all!
A long-pointed metal ‘steel’ also hung from their belt.
A few strokes on this kept a knife razor sharp.
Butcher shops always had a cold room to store carcasses prior to them being dismembered.
A glass cabinet facing customers held a few demonstration articles, but most of the product was kept in large cold storage.
Back in the 1970’s, a customer enters a butcher shop and orders two pound (always singular) of T-bone steak.
The butcher, most of the time, does not use the steak from the display cabinet, instead he goes into the cold room and
exits with a large uncut section of the required product which has been hanging by a large hook on the rails there.
Knowing that bone will have to be cut to create the steaks, the butcher does not place the large lump of beef on a table or bench.
Instead, it is carried to a large vertical wooden blue gum chopping block which is about waist high.
This block will have been used for years previously. The required steaks are sliced down to the T-bone part which cannot be cut with a knife.
A heavy cleaver soon makes short work of that.
The reason a bench or table could not be used was because they were unsuitable when chopping heavy bone.
The large wooden chopping blocks were thoroughly scoured with a stiff wire brush each day, so were kept clean.
Once again bureaucratic intervention contributed to the beginning of the end for local operators.
After being used in butcher shops for centuries, the ‘experts’ declared that the wooden chopping blocks were unhygienic, so they were banned.
On the non-customer side
of the shop, a thin layer of clean sawdust, which was replaced regularly, was spread on the floor to absorb any blood.
It was raked through with a fine rake each day to collect any dropped remnants.
Prior to being labelled as a health hazard, most steak sold at a butcher shop had a thick selvage of white fat around one side.
In most shops, a cashier handled the payment side of a transaction, which ensured that butchers did not contaminate their hands with unhygienic cash.
No cards, no hairnets and no gloves in those days.

Ford lucks out at Bathurst
FOURTH place was a poor reward for the massive work that went into the Ford Mustang assault on the 2024 Bathurst 1000.
Ford Performance, Ford Australia, and all of the Ford Supercars teams collaborated in the leadup to this year’s Great Race in a herculean effort to get a new ‘GT3-spec’ crankshaft into the engine of each race car.
Twenty brand-new engines were built and tested in less than three weeks, allowing every starter to hit the grid with a fresh powerplant.
Cam Waters led a flying wedge of Blue Oval runners at the flag, ahead of Chaz Mostert and Richie Stanaway, but fell one spot short of the podium.
Waters started the race from the front row of the grid, after qualifying second in the Top 10 shootout, but an early error took him out of the front-running pack and he and co-driver James Moffat had to battle back to head the Mustang
runners at the flag. Mostert also made an early error and dropped back in the field, but recovered sufficiently to still lead the Mustang runners in the Supercars championship with two events still to race.
Rod Nash of Tickford Racing said “It was a tough race as always and it was not completely negative for us. Cam Waters was still the best of the Fords with James Moffat and bagged some good points.
“Thomas Randle and Tyler Everingham were the biggest movers in the field and raced hard to come home 11th. So it was a solid bank of points for the team.
“All the engine stuff delivered on the hard work that went into it.
“Now we’re off to the Gold Coast and Adelaide, which are traditionally strong for us. Cam is fired up for another win before the end of the year.” he added.
“I think it was the longest
Bathurst week we’ve ever had. And the race seemed even longer. It didn’t help that we weren’t quick enough.”
There were promising signs in the lead-up to the race, with a total of five Fords making the iconic Top 10 shootout on Saturday.
from October 25-27.

Defender OCTA is the definition of breadth of capability and the ultimate companion for the urban jungle with capability to take on nature’s most epic adventures.”
New Defender OCTA. The toughest, most capable and most luxurious model in the unstoppable
4x4 family, taking the capability of Defender 110 to an unparalleled level.
Powered by a 4.4-litre Twin Turbo mild-hybrid V8 engine, the OCTA model is the most extreme and most powerful Defender ever, with 467kW and up to 750Nm of torque enabling 0-100km/h in 4.0 seconds. Heavily revised chassis components with innovative technologies, including 6D Dynamics suspension, ensure its dynamic capabilities are taken to new heights.
The exterior is bolder and tougher than ever, with a distinct character. The ride height is raised, its stance widened, and wheel arches extended for incredible presence. Redesigned bumpers give improved approach and departure angles, while tough underbody protection gives drivers the confidence to explore further over rough terrain.
And it will wade deeper than any production Defender before it too –through up to one metre of water.

Fraser Coast Cornhole League’s growing popularity pitches new venue
GLEN PORTEOUS
SPORT: The Fraser Coast Cornhole League has grown from humble beginnings to a respected community competition.
Keira Bourke and Bridee Mitchell have both been playing for about ten months and enjoy the sport.
“It’s a lot of fun and it doesn’t matter if you win or lose, just so long as you are enjoying yourself,” Bourke said.
“There are technical aspects to the sport and some skill required to play it.”
It is played at the Maryborough Sports Club on Saltwater Creek Road, Sunday afternoon and
Monday night with spare bags to throw for any newcomers.
Bridee Mitchell enjoys the sport because adults and kids can play and involve the whole family.
Cornhole is a popular game in which players or teams take turns throwing fabric bean bags at an inclined board with a hole in its far end.
The goal of the game is to score points by either landing a bag on the board and scoring a point or putting a bag through the hole for more points.
League President Hayden McIntrye said the popularity of the sport has seen an expansion into Hervey Bay.
“It is now getting played at the Urangan Bowls Club on a Friday night and getting more and more interest,” McIntrye said.
“It’s a unique sport that anyone can do and people have played it on a cruise and then come here wanting to play it again.
The sport is open to people of all ages and ability.”

Dust off that rod and tackle
The team from FREEDOM FISHING SUPPLIES
It’s been another fortnight with lots of northerlies however, there does seem to be a few good days coming up, so dust the cobwebs of your rod and tackle and get out on the water and into some trophy fish.
Let’s take a look at the report.
Bread and butter fishing were high on the agenda this fortnight with anglers seeking protection from the wind in the creeks, rivers and estuaries.
High on the hit list was Kauri Creek which has been producing mangrove jack, estuary cod, grunter and summer whiting, along with some quality crabs.
Shark Inlet has been fishing well for quality summer whiting with the
THIS WEEK'S BRAG BOARD
average size around 35cm and a few 45cm elbow slappers taking anglers by surprise.
Monster flathead and summer whiting have been on the bite throughout the Sandy Strait with most of the fish landed in the gutters at low tide.
Yabbies or worms have been the preferred bait, however, the majority of Flatties have been landed on soft plastic or hard bodied lures.
The Dimonds and German Creek have been
reporting threadfin and blue salmon, black and silver bream, mangrove jack, grunter and monster summer whiting up to 40cm.
The Mary River continues to impress with anglers landing threadfin salmon, and silver bream at the Lamington Bridge, along with river jew in numbers.
Monster threadfin salmon up to 12 kilos have been landed between walkers point and river heads, and grunter, flathead and whiting closer towards the mouth.
The Burrum River system is also heating up with reports of mangrove jack, grunter and barramundi all being landed.
The Urangan Pier is a great place to go for a family day out. Bream, whiting and flathead have been landed in the shallow channel, and out at the end of the pier anglers have been getting amongst a variety of mackerel, mac tuna, jew and trevally.
Sports fishos are in their element with more pelagic action than you can throw a lure at.
Long tail tuna, G.T’s, cobia and Spanish mackerel have been taken on a variety of lures from skirts to poppers from slugs to spoons and deep divers to surface poppers.
Small black marlin have been cruising in the shallow waters between Wathumba and Rooney’s point making ideal sight fishing conditions.
For our fresh water fishers, the bass are still on the bite out at Teddington and further up the Mary around Tiaro.
First up is Ferg with one of our favourite fish, a black spot tusk fish or bluey, this one weighed in at 8.95kg. Looks like the comp is on between our 2 threadfin kings,
and Steve. Garys went 12kg and Steve’s weighed in 10.65kg. Round One to Gary.
