Mount Morgan is getting a head start on fire season this year, thanks to the dedicated efforts of local firefighters. Starting in early winter, crews began a series of hazard reduction burns around the town and rural areas in the region, with the primary goal of protecting homes and property from the threat of a wildfire.

According to Aaron Mitchell, First Officer of the Calliungal Rural Fire Brigade, the work is crucial for community safety.

“The burns keep our beautiful town safe throughout fire season, removing the potential for a wildfire to damage people’s property, their homes, or even people themselves,” he said.

He pointed to the devastating effects of fires seen in Victoria and overseas as a stark reminder of what’s at stake.

The extensive effort has involved multiple brigades and agencies. So far, 55 of the 88 planned burns have been completed in areas between Poison Creek and Dululu. Crews have conducted burns with property owners, along roadsides, and even around public spaces like the swimming pool and skate park to increase safety for the entire community.

This massive undertaking around Mount Morgan and the region wouldn't be possible without a team effort. The Calliungal brigade has been joined by crews from Wowan, Bouldercombe, Gracemere, Alton Downs, Belmont, and The Caves. A total of 87 people, including a large number of volunteers, have contributed their time and expertise to execute the planned burns. The effort has also included support from Transport Main Roads, the Rural Fire Service Area Office, and Traffic Management.

With the fire season fast approaching, the remaining 33 burns are scheduled to be completed over the next six weeks. Planned burns are still set for areas including Baree, near the Showgrounds, and within the mine. The hazard reduction burns are expected to wrap up by the end of September.

CBD QR POSTS TOUR

Mount Morgan’s Central Business District was bustling with activity on Friday, 29 August, as roughly 50 members of the University of the Third Age (U3A) took part in a guided tour. The tour, organised by Mount Morgan Promotion and Development Inc (MMPAD), was a deep dive into the town's rich history, particularly focusing on the CBD Project – Link to its historic past, which was installed in December 2023.

The group, mainly from Rockhampton, was guided by MMPAD president and TMC tour operator John Steinberger. The tour route began at the Central QR Post near the rotunda (opposite the Mount Morgan Hot Bread Shop) and included stops at the Leichhardt Hotel, the Mount Morgan Historical Museum, and the Art Precinct, before concluding at the Western QR post near the School of Arts. The participants were divided into two groups to better manage the tour.

The event was a collaborative effort, with local business owners and community members sharing their knowledge and passion with the visitors. Karl Belzner from the Leichhardt Hotel, Gwen Scott from the Mount Morgan Historical Museum, and Kerrilyn Page from Wattle Bee Next all gave presentations. Additional speakers included Chris O'Leary and John Tuxworth from the Arts Precinct, James Lye, the headmaster of the High School who gave a informative presentation of the High School’s history and its present-day operations. Eve-lyn Rogers provided further information at the other QR Posts while Graeme Meade gave a presentation of the history surrounding his East Street Shops.

The tour day wrapped up with morning tea and lunch served at the Soldiers Rooms, with pies preordered from the Mount Morgan Hot Bread Shop, adding another taste of local life to the experience. Mr Steinberger said the participants were happy with the tour and the knowledge imparted and has urged all visitors to use the QR posts and footpath plaques to do a self-guided tour of Mount Morgan’s CBD.

MOUNT MORGAN CITIZEN’S CLUB

Soldiers’ Rooms

With our AGM last weekend, we thought we would reflect on the last 12 months. During this time we have had amazing regular users and tenants of the Soldiers Rooms Hall and offices.

FYI they are the following groups and services:RAOB, Slim Trims on Mondays, Alma Vets first Tuesday of the month, Mount Morgan Social Group, Rocky Boxing & Promotion (Youth fitness) Tuesday and Thursdays at 5pm.

There are scrabble mornings, and country music afternoons. We have run six Community Dances, hosted six nights of Amy’s Limelight Karaoke, free Opera and a Historical Open Day. During this time, offices have been lined and painted, and ongoing maintenance performed.

Our next nights of vocal shenanigans is happening on 6 September, 1 November and 13 December, and next dance is 20 September, our Black-Tie Ball- with Rock Me Amadeus vibes! We would love to see you there!

To book the Soldiers Rooms for functions, please call our Booking Officer Angela on 0419 605 662.

Arts Precinct

If you thought we were busy at the Soldiers Rooms, then hang onto your hats, as 2024-25 saw the wheelchair ramps go from portable to concrete, rear door widened to allow wheelchair access, permission coming through beginning of April to be able to use the church as a gallery, painting of the interior, our Grand Opening and first exhibition in late April, to now opening seven days, and since then we have had a steady influx of visitors and Artists creating, groups regularly utilizing the Community Garden, and have even held a wonderful night of Opera.

We have acquired funding for solar and rewiring (September/October), and for sanding and varnishing the floors commencing in a week!

During this time the Gallery will be closed from 5-19 September. We can’t wait to see how amazing the space will look on completion! In the last few months of the year, we will be working in with trades, but also gearing up for commencement of workshops and more exhibitions! For Artist and Volunteer Enquiries please call 0411 865 621.

To wind up, so much thanks must go to our Volunteers, who have just knuckled down and made it happen!

These people are absolute treasures, and the backbone of our community club, hall and gallery. New members are always welcome, so why not come along for the ride!

Don’t believe these testimonials? Try the Grand Hotel’s Breakfast menu! Saturday and Sunday 7.30 - 11 am. The Grand Breakfast is calling! Make a booking or just walk in!

One of the most common issues that’s raised with me when I travel around is renewable energy projects. The impacts that they have on neighbours, the roads, impacts to water, and the failure to properly engage with the local communities.

Around Mount Morgan we have the Boulder Creek Wind Farm to the west which is in early construction works now. Mount Hopeful Wind Farm to the south which was meant to start this year but due to financial constraints the proponent is now just pushing ahead with the battery storage near Bajool. To the north the Moah Creek Wind Farm is still in federal environmental approvals limbo, and since coming in we have cancelled the Moonlight Range Wind Farm, but the proponent is talking about trying to submit for new planning approval under the changes that the Crisafulli government has made.

These wind farms would have surrounded Mount Morgan with wind turbines, up to 275m tall, on all sides, and severely hampered the development of new housing corridors within the Rockhampton Regional Council Area.

While there’s still ongoing fights around these wind factories, we’re seeing a new problem arising with large scale Battery Energy Storage Systems(BESS) being proposed as close as 250m away from somebody’s home in our region. At the moment, the proposed battery storage systems that we’re seeing in the region are stage 2 of the current Bouldercombe BESS, the Central BESS, currently in land court over the council’s rejection, across the road from the existing BESS. Getting closer to the Bruce Highway there is the J Pierce Road BESS, which would be 250m away from the nearest home, the Egan Hill BESS, the Capricorn BESS, and the Mount Hopeful BESS.

These projects have all started to pop up in the last few months, and at the moment council is responsible for planning around these projects, but because they’re a relatively new type of development the council hasn’t got proper guidelines around the requirements.

But the council has listened to the impacted communities council and are moving towards creating a Temporary Local Planning Instrument to place restrictions on where these batteries can be placed, and how far away from homes they need to be. This is important, as these batteries are incredibly loud, create light pollution and create a brand new fire risk. The consultation is open until 1 September and will give the community a chance to have their say on the changes.

Continued on Page 7

The council did not have to do community consultation on this but they’re committed to getting it right and deserve credit for listening to those communities.

While there may not be any projects in Mount Morgan itself, these renewable energy projects will have an impact on how much our region can grow. We need to slow the rush, and ensure locations are

properly considered and communities are properly consulted before approving these projects. The Crisafulli government has done this with wind and solar projects, now requiring community consultation and community benefit agreements to be signed prior to development applications being lodged.

I will keep fighting for impacted communities to have their voices heard before we lose parts of our communities that we can never get back.

MUSINGS OF A GEN XER

(Gen X denotes the cohort born between about 1965 and 1980)

We’re now (surprisingly) sandwiched between young and old age (also known as middle age). ‘Surprisingly’ – because just the other day, we were the young ones. Now we have Millennials, Gen Z and Gen Alpha coming up, who consider us ‘old’ (this is a difficult concept to grasp because we still feel pretty young).

We were the last generation to go to school before computers, internet, emails, social media and smart phones. We had to learn how to use these new technologies quickly to keep up with the times (we’re an adaptable, resilient lot). Gen Zers seem bewildered that we don’t know the finer points of an iCloud (my nephew, for example).

Before the internet age, we communicated with the world by landlines, telephone booths, fax and snail mail. Responses to letters seemed to take forever (we’ve learnt to be incredibly patient). We always knew the current cost of a postage stamp to mail a local letter. When on holidays, we often beat our postcards home.

Gen Xers were the last generation to solely use notes, coins and cheques. We had to adapt to the modern world by learning how to use cards, ATMs and internet banking. Many of us have replaced the old leather wallet with a digital one (we’ve come a long way).

To be continued in future editions.

KANGAROO Colouring Competition

WIN a double pass to see the new movie Kangaroo at Birch Carroll & Coyle Cinemas during the school holidays – all you have to do is colour, decorate, paint or collage the entry form and drop into any Rockhampton Regional Library branch before 5:00pm on 19 September.

KANGAROO is a heart-warming family comedy about disgraced TV Host, Chris, and a young First Nations girl, Charlie, who work together to rescue and rehabilitate a group of orphaned joeys in a remote Outback community. Starring Rachel House, Brooke Satchwell and Ryan Corr, the movie is set to release on 18 September.

Kangaroo Dundee by Chris Barns is the tale of one determined man, a mob of orphan joeys and a story full of heart.

Brolga (aka Chris Barns) is the 6ft 7in strong but sensitive Aussie star of the extraordinary BBC series Kangaroo Dundee. Brolga lives in a simple tin shed in the outback where he raises orphaned baby kangaroos. It is a sad fact of life that kangaroo mothers are at the mercy of speeding cars in this part of the world—killed on the road, their young still tucked up in their pouches. These young joeys are given a second chance thanks to the kindness and dedication of Brolga, who carefully retrieves them and nurses them back to health.

Available in a book format.

On Wednesday, 27 August the Year 11 and 12 Hospitality class invited staff to attend a High Tea.

The High Tea was organised and coordinated by the Hospitality teacher Leisa Philips and year 11 and 12 Hospitality students.

The dining room was transformed into an enchanted garden with relaxing atmosphere and calming music.

The food was presented beautifully and the mocktails were impressive.

The service was first class and the students went out of their way with presentation and duty of care.

Mount Morgan in Pictures

A bird’s eye view of the Mount

The above image was taken from Black Street near the Mount Morgan Multipurpose Health Service, looking towards the west. The Mount’s iconic physical landscape can be seen against a hive of activity on the morning of Saturday, 3 May 2025 – the day of the Golden Mount Festival parade. Blue marquees, picnic shelters and landscape hedges decorate Morgan Street. Parking is filling up along Morgan and East Streets, and traffic wardens and witches hats are controlling the traffic.

Starting from the corner of Morgan and East Streets (front left) is the two-storey timber Leichhardt Hotel, with its red roof and wrought iron balcony railing. Established in about 1891, it’s the town’s oldest original hotel still operating.

Behind the historic pub is the red brick Saint Mary’s Anglican Church and its unique semi-circular metal roof in Gordon Street, built in 1889 or earlier. The church’s benefactor, Wesley Hall (1839-1901), was the first general manager of the Mount Morgan Gold Mining Company from 1886 to 1892. The church was listed on the Queensland Heritage Register in 2000. The 1910 Mount Morgan Post Office in Morgan Street

may be glimpsed (back centre), with its whiteish, refurbished roof and air vent tower and spire on top.

Going clockwise is the State heritage-listed Queensland National Hotel (former), dating back to 1890. Piercing the sky is the hotel’s distinctive tower and spire. The Queensland Heritage Register states in relation to the tower: ‘… There is a small platform from which extensive views of the town and coastal area can be had…’. Due to its high vantage point, the tower was used to detect enemy aircraft during the Second World War.

Moving back down Morgan Street is a side view of the tall, red brick wall of the Mount Morgan Outdoors building in front of the famous Mount Morgan mine site. The 1939 Mount Morgan fire was stopped in its tracks when it reached the building’s brick wall, preventing shops in this part of Morgan Street from being destroyed.

A contemporaneous, local newspaper reported: ‘The fire burnt itself out on the east end of Morgan Street when it reached the brick wall of the premises of Mr Bond, bootmaker and draper, but is still blazing fiercely on the western end …’ (‘Main shopping

centre being wiped out. Twelve shops destroyed’, Morning Bulletin (Rockhampton, Qld. : 1878-1954), 12 December 1939).

Further down on the corner of Morgan and East Streets is the yellow timber building of the Mount Morgan Historical Museum. One of the early chairmen of the Mount Morgan Gold Mining Company, James Stewart (1837-1923), built this structure in 1895 to house his department store. A glimpse of the painted mural along the building’s East Street exterior depicts men and women in costume from earlier times.

This elevated perspective from Black Street showcases some of Mount Morgan’s historic buildings on festival day. The interconnectedness of the Mount of old and the township today is evident. However, one wonders how the pioneer gold miners would have fared on the drop tower. Pictured near the old church is a drop tower full of thrill-seekers (screams of riders could be heard from Black Street). You could say that this is where ‘old meets new’: Mount Morgan’s nineteenth century architecture converges with modern-day entertainment.

Above: A closer view of the Mount Morgan Outdoors brick building, which prevented shops in the east end of Morgan Street from being completely destroyed in the 1939 fire. The Mount Morgan mine site is in the background / Photo by C. McIntosh, 2023.
