HISTORICAL: AT THE BUTCHERS
THE BOTTOM BUTCHER SHOP
In 1950 Nelson Paulger had the Bluebird Café built and in 1952 he continued the development of the site with the construction and outfitting of a butcher shop. The photograph from the time shows the business operating as “Best Butcher”. It is possible that the Eumundi butchery owned by Mr Best opened a second shop in Kenilworth and it was managed by Mr. Bradley, of Eumundi, who commenced
business in the new shop - as reported on page 8 of the Nambour Chronicle published on 28 November 1952.
Nambour Chronicle (13.8.1954, page 8) further reported an application for transfer of a slaughtering licence from L. Best (Eumundi) to W. E. Pearson who obtained the lease of the “bottom” butcher shop in 1954. In 1962 Mr Pearson leased the “top” butcher shop from Mr. W. Tirrell (as reported in August issue) at which time the lease of the bottom shop was sold to Mr. G. Taylor. The name above the door then changed to J.W. (Jack) Fink in 1963. In 1965 E.R. Rodgers and son took over the business. The next mention in the press is the notice of sale:-
The ”shop, land and fittings” were not sold as a “going concern” and apparently left vacant for some period of time.
There are some gaps in the history of this shop. If anyone has information on what businesses were conducted in it and the approximate dates, the Kenilworth Museum would be delighted to gather this information.
It has been determined that a delicatessen was run in the building in 1968-70 by Win and Bob Newell at that time the cold room was still in place (personal
communication Win Burnett). In 1988 a Drapery was domiciled in the building (photograph Kev Franzi from the Museum collection).
Brian Smith owned the building in the early 2000’s and conducted his Accountancy business before leasing out the front section for a Craft Shop in 2002 and went on to become a Real Estate Office on 3.10.2003 after Carol Gilmour purchased the building, then in 2018 Ron Jeffery leased the building for a second office (Imbil and Kenilworth) (personal communication Carol Gilmour) and now is The Boot Store for the West N Colour shop.
You are cordially invited to attend the Annual General Meeting of the Kenilworth & District Historical Assn Inc. on Wednesday, September 24, 2025 in the Roxy Room at the Museum in Alexandra Street. All attendees are offered the chance to trial the recorded audio tour of the Museum.

CHEERIO FROM THE CHURCHES
St Luke's Anglican Church will be celebrating our 70th anniversary with a special Patronal Day Eucharist at 9am on Sunday 19 October. The celebrant will be Bishop Sarah Plowman. This is a service for the whole of Maleny Parish with St George's and St Mary's joining us.
St Luke's will be taking a wander down Memory Lane as we look at our collection of old (and not so old) photographs depicting the life of St Luke's over the past seventy years from the days of Fr Des Williams when we were part of the Mary Valley Parish to our present role in the Maleny Parish. St Luke's at the time made church architectural history in Queensland with a plan that went away from the traditional modified Gothic design for churches. The new church was built to suit our Queensland climate with a wide verandah and lots of windows to catch the light and the breeze.
Sunday HC services are held at St Luke's at 9am followed by morning tea. Come and join us at the service or just for morning tea! Everyone is welcome! As the warmer weather approaches, the community of St John Bosco is starting preparations for a special Mass on Sunday 19 October at 10:30am. This will be an event for all of the parish of St Joseph's Nambour followed by a shared picnic lunch in the grounds. Mass is celebrated at St John Bosco on the third Sunday of the month at 10am ( except for 19 October). On other Sundays the Liturgy of the Word with Communion is held at 9am.

BETTER SINGING, BETTER HEALTH: ENHANCING WELLBEING FOR LOCALS THROUGH SONG
Now in their fifth year of weekly social singing, Kenilworth and District Singers (KaDS) know that singing is fun, and now they're showing it's also good for your health. Helped by a grant from the Sunshine Coast Council, KaDS is nearing the end of a 20-week workshop series to boost their physical, emotional and mental health through singing.
The Better Singing, Better Health project, led by vocal coach Rachel Trevorrow Dunham, has given participants local access to activities including breathing techniques, vocal exercises, strength and expression, rhythm and gentle movement, and harmonies.
“Singing together is more than music, it’s medicine for the mind, body, and soul,” explained Rachel. “Research around the world has shown this over and over. The singers in this project have been able to find and strengthen their voices and incorporate more physicality into their singing. They're discovering greater musical knowledge, self-confidence, connection, and joy.”
A free community concert at Gheerulla Hall from 2pm on Sunday 28 September will showcase the outcomes of Better Singing, Better Health.
It will feature a number of songs which the whole group has been working on, small-ensembles and solo performances. KaDS member and project participant, Annie Ryan, pointed out:
"As a large group, KaDS has done a number of performances over the years but, until now, most of us wouldn't have stood up on stage solo, or even in a small group, and sung. The project helped us gain - and, for some of us, regain - confidence as well as skills to tackle something like this. And we've had so much fun doing it."
Come along to Gheerulla Hall on 28 September and join in celebrating the power of personal and community connection through song.

MEET SOME OF THE TOP DOG FINALISTS
Now in its fifth year, OZTOPDOG celebrates the incredible dogs who bring joy, comfort, and camaraderie to offices and home workspaces across the nation. From loyal office companions to hardworking service dogs, the finalists truly make the workplace a happier, healthier place.
This year’s theme, “Dogs at Work,” highlights the growing role of canine colleagues in reducing workplace stress, improving morale, and combating isolation - vital benefits at a time when more than 75% of Australians report moderate to very high stress levels.
New research from people2people reveals:
u Despite only 14% of workplaces having dogs, 60% of employees say dogs boost morale more than Friday drinks.
u 76% say dogs ease feelings of isolation when working remotely.
u Talk to your child about how and who to ask for help.
~ Theresa Lyndon, Prep, Year 1 and 2 teacher, Kenilworth SCC
“These findings underscore how much dogs mean to employees’ wellbeing and work satisfaction,” said Mary Savova, Recruitment Manager at people2people. “With OZTOPDOG, we want to celebrate these amazing dogs and inspire workplaces to embrace the positive impact they bring.”
Billy - Breed: Border Collie, Suburb: Toowoomba
Billy isn’t just an office dog, he’s our team’s therapist, bringing comfort, energy, and connection to LJ Hooker Toowoomba every day. With an uncanny ability to sense when someone’s under pressure or having a rough day, he offers tail wags, quiet companionship, playful distraction, or even a full-blown chat when the office is quiet.
u Yet, 28% of workplaces have recently reduced or scrapped dog-friendly policies.
u A remarkable 3 in 10 employees would consider a pay cut to bring their dog to work every day — with 62% accepting a 5% cut and 20% willing to give up free snacks and coffee instead.
u Other benefits employees would forgo for dogfriendly policies include gym/wellness stipends (19%) and flexible working hours (7%).

Loyal, loving, and always ready for a pat, he knows just who to sit with, delights kids with his antics, and even supports fellow staff members.
Kirra - Breed: Black Labrador, Suburb: Fig Tree Pocket
Kirra, a certified facility therapy dog at Mancel College, works with students who have language disorders, helping to regulate emotions, reduce anxiety, and even inspiring some to speak for the first time. Loved by staff, students, and families, she can also detect impending seizures, support students with school refusal, and is included in many learning plans and interventions as part of her daily impact.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
A TENACIOUS WEED
Callisia repens, the Creeping Inch Plant, is a low growing, multi-stemmed, succulent, widespread in gardens and bushland. Callisia has small, almost heart shaped leaves, attached to thin, fleshy purple stems. The underside of the leaves can be shaded purple. It forms dense mats of overlapping branches that smother smaller plants. Few low growing, native plants can compete successfully with Callisia. When submerged by floodwaters Callisia is washed downstream, to establish new infestations.
It is difficult to control manually over the long term. Callisia will regrow quickly from pieces of stems or leaves left behind. Combining manual removal with a thick follow up mulch, and densely replanting with groundcovers can be more successful, regular follow up removals will likely be needed. Callisia is more usually managed by spraying with a suitable herbicide. Follow up applications are often needed. This is a tenacious plant. Do not mow or line trim Callisia. It is as if mowers and brushcutters were designed to spread it.
Once Callisia has been removed, manually or with a herbicide, planting native groundcovers can compete and help to suppress it. In full sun,
t Cullen tenax or Emu Foot, and u Commelina cyanea or Scurvy Weed, are useful as perennial groundcovers that can form
dense mats. C. cyanea can die back in winter but will reshoot from stems or seed in spring. Callisia does not die back.
For lightly to moderately shaded areas, C. cyanea, Oplimensis aemulus (Creeping Beard Grass), O. mollis (Rainforest Beard Grass), O. imbecillis (Paddymelon Grass) can hold their own against Callisia, once they are established. All these natives are hosts plants for butterflies and moths. Emu Grass is host to as many as 25 native butterflies and moths, including the magnificent Orchard Swallowtail and Chequered Swallowtail butterflies.

My sincerest thank you to the Kenilworth Community Transport Service. I am normally a driver. However, I recently needed to use the community car to attend doctors and the hospital on the Sunshine Coast. I work at the Kenilworth Information Centre and am always taking bookings for this service. This time, I was the one who had to make bookings. I am constantly amazed that this small hinterland town offers such a brilliant service. Without it, our wonderful community would be in dire trouble. I am aware that we need to use this service regularly or else we run the risk of losing it.
May I take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to David and Patricia Cole who are the organisers, the fantastic drivers who go above and beyond in their care, and the staff of the Kenilworth Information Centre who take the bookings. These community minded people are all volunteers and selfishly give up their time to help. Thank you.

Biosecurity programs: Invasive species spread fast, damage ecosystems and harm livestock. Council has launched two major biosecurity programs to protect our hinterland landscapes, wildlife, and way of life; Invasive Animal Prevention and Invasive Plant Surveillance. Division 5 residents can fight invasive species on their own properties by: learning to identify invasive plants and animals, report feral pest sightings, and by joining a local BushCare group. Council also offers residents the use of free hire equipment to manage weeds on private property. Head to Council’s website and search ‘Invasive species’ for more information.
Keep pets safe: Owners of the 11,842 cats and more than 54,000 dogs, registered on the Sunshine Coast will be receiving a renewal notice via email or post before September 30.

LOCAL LEGENDS
BELLES OF THE BOWLO
The Kenilworth Ladies Bowls Club celebrated their President and Patroness Day on the 14th of August.
They had over 80 people attend, from 11 clubs across the Hinterland and Fraser Coast, who travelled from as far as Tin Can Bay, Gympie, and even players from Harvey Bay.
Our community embraced the celebration too, by donating 28 raffle prizes. We wanted to thank Kenilworth Daires, Kenilworth Bakery, Kelli’s Hair Design, H’s Delights and all the amazing committee members who contributed to the raffle.
If you’re interested in visiting the club to play social bowls, socialise with your friends with a drink or two, or come for their delicious meals served on Fridays to Sundays then drop by.
From the 30th of August every Saturday fortnight, they are hosting Thai nights. Traditional Thai food cooked by one of their local ladies. Her food will tingle your tastebuds.
It was a successful day that not only celebrated Tracey Ferriday and Merle Murtagh contribution and commitment to their club, but also a gathering of the bowls community who came to compete and have a load of fun too.
The lady’s division of the club is only small with 11 members, but the heart of the Ladies Committee, volunteering their time by setting up the day and cooking and serving morning tea and lunch, is why this club survives.
CELEBRATING A LOCAL CRAFT SHOP LEGEND
Merle Murtagh began volunteering at the Kenilworth Community Craft Shop on 22nd July 2006. After 19 years, 1 month and 3 days she has well and truly earned her retirement. An amazing effort. Merle is well known for her large variety of beautiful craftsquilts, cushions, embroidered towels and teatowels, microwave dishes, placemats and so much more. There must be hundreds of households both here and overseas that have one or many of her excellent handcrafts in their home. She constantly has a smile and a kind word to say and is always up for a chat. You have our utmost respect for the gentle caring lady that you are, and we will all miss having you around every Monday.
