Mount Morgan Blooms for Wattle Day Festival Success
The town of Mount Morgan came alive on Saturday, 6 September, for the annual Mount Morgan Wattle Day Festival, a vibrant community event celebrating the town’s unique wattle species, acacia podalyriifolia. According to organisers, Mount Morgan Promotion and Development Inc (MMPAD), the festival was a

resounding success, drawing a large crowd to enjoy a day of entertainment, workshops, and family-friendly activities.
“The weather was beautiful, and there was certainly plenty of activities for the entire family,” said MMPAD President, Mr. John Steinberger.
The festival’s success was made possible through the generous support of its major sponsors, which included the Boulder Creek Wind Farm, Heritage Minerals, Rockhampton Regional Council (through their Community Assistance Program), and the Member for Mirani, Glen Kelly. Festival patrons were treated to a fantastic line-up of live entertainment. Australian Idol finalist, Jaymon Bob, returned to the Wattle Day stage to perform, supported by local talents including Aliza Ruth with guitarist Darryl Smith, Gary Curtin, the Batley Family and Dianne Coburn. The unique and colourful performance by the Sabaya Belly Dancers also captivated the audience.
The artistic heart of the festival beat strong with a wide variety of workshops that were well supported by attendees. These included paint pouring, indigenous art, photography, floral creations, and circus skills. Creative arts workshops such as suncatcher making were also popular. These artistic activities were proudly supported by the Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF), a partnership between the state government and the Rockhampton Regional Council. Beyond the stage and workshops, the grounds of the Mount Morgan Railway yards were a hub of activity. Families enjoyed the thrill of amusement rides, a petting zoo, and the imaginative creations of a balloon twister. Visitors also browsed a diverse array of market stalls and indulged in classic Devonshire teas.
Mr. Steinberger expressed his gratitude on behalf of MMPAD, extending thanks to all the sponsors, entertainers, stall holders, artists, and most importantly, the festival patrons for their incredible support of the 2025 Wattle Day Festival. The day served as a powerful reminder of the community spirit and cultural richness that define Mount Morgan.
Thanks to the volunteers and raffle sponsors . The winners were: Ruth Allen (1 bottle of rum and 10 cans of softdrink), Kelly Thompson ($50 Grand Hotel Voucher), Greg Tremaine ($50 Grand Hotel Voucher), Rosemary Izzard ($50 Grand Hotel Voucher), Rhonda Bailey ($50 Grand Hotel Voucher), Marlene Sealey ($50 Fuel Voucher donated by Discover Mount Morgan), Cassie Barnes ($50 Fuel Voucher donated by Discover Mount Morgan), Melissa Matheson ($20 Rainbow Café Voucher), Del Rowley ($20 Rainbow Café Voucher) and Greta Verkerk ($20 Rainbow Café Voucher).

BOULDER CREEK WIND FARM UPDATE
The Boulder Creek Wind Farm was delighted to host the Community Liaison Group (CLG) for a tour of the site recently.
Made up of community members from the Westwood, Mount Morgan, Bouldercombe, and Dululu townships, the CLG viewed progress that has been made with the establishment of tracks at the site, and where the wind turbines will be located.
A highlight of the CLG tour was visiting the Cycas Megacarpa (cycad) recipient site and speaking with experts from Australian Natives about the cycads and how the relocation process is completed.
In September, project partners CS Energy and Aula Energy, along with key partners RES, DT Infrastructure (DTI) and Australian Natives, joined the Gangulu Cultural Heritage Committee and monitors at the wind farm site for a day of cultural learning and collaboration.
The day included a tour of cultural heritage artifact sites, and a smoking ceremony and Welcome to Country delivered by Aunty Lyn and Uncle Flip. Attendees also viewed the nursery and cycads relocation reflecting the strong partnership between industry and Traditional Owners.
In construction news, progress continues on the western access route near Westwood.
This route is to support the movement of oversize vehicles transporting components to the wind farm site.
Works are underway to establish approximately 1.5 km of new road off the Capricorn Highway. The new alignment will utilise the existing Rooger Street Road reserve, with additional upgrades planned for Arthur Street and Flaggy Creek Road, including road widening.
The switching station bench at the end of Boulder Creek Road is well underway with civil works nearing completion. Powerlink Queensland will shortly mobilise construction crews to begin construction of the electrical infrastructure component of the switching station.
Looking ahead, applications for the next round of the Community Benefit Fund will open in late September and run through to the first week of November. For more information on how to apply, please visit our website or contact us using the details provided below.
Aula Energy and CS Energy own the Boulder Creek Wind Farm in a joint venture. The Boulder Creek Wind Farm welcomes your feedback and questions. To get in touch, phone 1800 983 637, email: info@ bouldercreekwindfarm.com.au or visit the project website: www.bouldercreekwindfarm.com/contact

New solo art exhibition by local artist
Nancy Liddle is presenting a new solo show at the Baree Hall, Creek St off Razorback, in October with the grand opening on Friday the 18th 6pm til 8pm. Entry is free but please consider a donation. There will be free “welcome” non-alcoholic drinks and nibbles too. Faylyn Lamb has agreed to do the Acknowledgement of Country. The show will run until 25 October from 10 – 2pm daily.
Guaranteed to spark your interest, it is called “Thousand Yard Stare” and concerns the effects of war on soldiers and civilians alike. Google AI defines it as “a vacant or unfocused gaze into the distance, seen as characteristic of a war-weary or traumatized soldier.” Further to the effects of war, we can ask who profits from war. The exhibition attempts to show the connection between what happens on the ground and the money-makers behind each war. Endless wars equal endless profits, for some.
The show will be more of an installation and an exercise in using the yellow Baree Hall in a way that conjures up the transitory nature of refugee tents or a hospital. The effect of war on soldiers and civilians is not generally acknowledged due to a strong preference towards glorifying wars and the employment of patriotism. But in these days when we know that there are huge profits to be gained from investment in armaments and private militia and
natural resources to be fought over, we can question all aspects of the worthiness of any war.
Nancy has been painting on a daily basis since 2022 and her entire portfolio can be seen @nancyelle36 on Instagram. It shows the development of style and artistic growth. She is currently studying a Certificate 3 in Visual Arts, offered free to anyone by the Central Qld university.
Please show your support of the flourishing local Mount Morgan art scene by visiting. Guaranteed to pique your curiosity.

Mount Morgan's Artistic Heartbeat: The Visual Artists 4714 Open Studio concept
A vibrant new arts movement is taking root in Mount Morgan, inviting the public to step beyond gallery walls and directly into the creative spaces of local artists. The visualartists4714 Open Studio concept, an initiative inspired by a desire to bring art closer to the community, is showcasing the exceptional talent flourishing within the historic town.
The program, which has already featured four open studios with artists Nicholai Tonslamann, Rhonda Billett, Louise Jones, Pauline Grabham, and Anne Copeland, is the culmination of a long-held dream for Louise Jones, President of visualartists4714. Rachel Lamb will hold her Open Studio in November.
"I lived in Samford near Brisbane for 14 years and saw the opening of their arts trail," explains Louise, one of the driving forces behind the initiative.
"I have been wanting to open one in Mount Morgan since I met a few artists." The idea blossomed organically from the establishment of visualartists4714, a charity founded to provide exposure and promotion for all local artists.
Visitors to the open studios are in for a treat. This isn't just about viewing finished pieces; it's about connecting with the creators themselves. You'll get to meet and talk with the artists, gaining insight into their unique journeys and techniques. The focus is on the artist and their practice, rather than any specific theme, ensuring a diverse and intimate experience. Most of the works on display will be new to the public, offering a fresh perspective on the local art scene.
The experience can be highly Continued on Page 10
interactive. Depending on the artist, visitors might get to witness a live demonstration or even see works in progress. Jones recounts how during her own open studio, she had a painting she was just starting, allowing people to watch the creative process unfold. This unique opportunity offers a rare glimpse into the artistry and skill required to bring a vision to life.
The direct interaction between artists and the public is a cornerstone of the program, offering benefits that extend far beyond a single purchase. The initiative aims to show the community the quality of local work, fostering a sense of pride in Mount Morgan’s artistic achievements. By showcasing the skills of individual artists, the program increases their profile, potentially opening doors to commissions, workshops, or other opportunities.
Ultimately, the open studios are about validating art as a career and encouraging broader engagement. When the public sees the passion and dedication that goes into a piece, it can inspire a deeper appreciation for the arts and even motivate others to participate in creating art themselves.
All artwork on display is for sale, offering a fantastic opportunity to bring a piece of Mount Morgan's creative spirit into your own home. Payment is made easy with options including Square POS, bank transfer, and cash.
For those eager to stay connected and learn about future events, the best way is to follow visualartists4714 on Facebook. You can also keep an eye out for signage around town, which will announce upcoming open studios.
The organizers are also mindful of accessibility,
DEE RIVER OLDIES
By the time you read this Argus, Dee River Oldies Group will be on their bus trip to Biloela.
On Wednesday, 17 September we left the bus stop in Morgan Street, Mount Morgan at 8.30 am and travelled to the Biloela Historical Village where members had a chance to look at what they had there and enjoyed a delicious morning tea.
Lunch was at the RSL where everyone enjoyed their delicious lunch. Our bus trips are always a great day out, catching up with friends and seeing the sights along the way. Check out the next Argus for photos on the day.

There will be lucky door and raffle prizes. Come along and enjoy a delicious morning tea.
working to accommodate potential issues and ensuring parking is clearly signed to minimize risks.
Preparing for an open studio is a significant undertaking for each artist. It involves decluttering their space to best present their works, setting up easels and display areas, and creating a welcoming atmosphere with books, photos, and a table with morning tea. While the artistic part comes naturally, one of the hardest aspects for artists is often deciding on pricing for their work.
The open studio platform is a key part of the Visual Artists 4714 mission to mentor emerging artists. By supporting and teaching members how to present and promote their work, the organization provides invaluable guidance. This mentorship happens not just during the open studios, but also through ongoing interactions within the association.
Membership to Visual Artists 4714 is available for those interested in joining this thriving community. A full voting membership is $40 per year, providing access to support, promotion, advice, and inclusion in the annual exhibition and open studio program. An associate membership is available for $20, which includes a program calendar and entry into the annual exhibition and open studio.
For artists interested in joining the open studio program, the first step is to become a member of Visual Artists 4714. This is done by invitation and interview. If you're a local artist with a passion for your craft, you can contact Louise Jones at 0427 314 410 to learn more. By opening their doors, the artists of Mount Morgan are not only sharing their work but also building a stronger, more connected arts community. The open studios are a testament to the power of art to inspire and unite, one studio at a time.
We will have our October Monthly Meeting on Tuesday 21 October, 2025. It starts at 2 pm. Our monthly meetings and morning teas are held in St Mary's Hall, Gordon Street, Mount Morgan. (Behind the Anglican Church).
Where the Tuesday is the third Tuesday of the month the following day will be the fourth Wednesday of the month and is our October Morning Tea. Yes, Wednesday, 22 October 2025 we will our morning tea.
It starts at 10 am. Cost is $5. We have a guest speaker from Footprints who will let our members know what they do.
We welcome our new members and thank all that help to make a difference for our group. It really is appreciated. We have had a good turn out of members for our morning teas which makes it all worthwhile. Stay happy and healthy.

Recently I spoke on a motion in the Federal Parliament calling on the Government to criminalise the desecration and/or burning of the Australian national flag.
I started my speech by acknowledging all Australian veterans both past and present for their courage, service and sacrifice. We remember those who gave their lives to protect our freedoms and we express our gratitude to those who continue to serve our nation.
I recognised my good mate and colleague, the Member for Hebert, Phil Thompson for moving the motion.
Phil is a veteran that has devoted his life to Australia and our national flag and I too thank him for his service.
The Member for Hebert’s motion states that the Federal Parliament:
Notes the:
• Abhorrent behaviour of protestors burning the Australian national flag at rallies throughout our country which is deplorable, disrespectful and goes against our values as a nation.
• The Australian flag is the flag members of our
Continued on Page 12
Australian Defence Forces wear on their shoulders and the flag that sits on the coffin of our fallen men and women.
• Flags Act 1953 fails to criminalise the destruction of the Australian national flag.
• Calls on the Government to criminalise the desecration and/or burning of the Australian national flag and punish those supporting declared terrorists’ groups.
Australia is currently a divided nation.
Recently, masked protestors at Pro-Palestine rallies were filmed burning or ripping the Australian flag.
Disturbingly, current laws meant that these traitors could walk away scot-free.
No repercussions, not even a fine. Criminalising the desecration and/ or burning of the national flag would not be a first across the globe.
A number of countries in Europe have criminalised the burning of the national flag including France, Germany, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia and Poland.
The punishment for burning the national flag in Russia is reportedly one year in jail.
Some countries across Africa also have bans on flag desecration, as well as many nations in Asia. China, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, India and Indonesia all have punishments in place for those who desecrate the national flag.
In South America, Mexico and Brazil also have laws in place to protect the national flag.
The US Government have also announced their intention to make it illegal to burn the US flag.
The Institute of Public Affairs released a report last month that found:
77 per cent of Australians believe burning the Australian National Flag should be against the law.
This includes 76 per cent of Australians aged 18-24.
63 per cent of Australians believe people who burn the Australian National Flag should face jail time. This includes 64 per cent of those aged 18-24.
71 per cent of Australians believe non-citizens who burn the Australian National Flag should be deported. This includes 66 per cent of those aged 18-24.
Furthermore, IPA research found 71 per cent of Australians believe our National Flag unites us, with just 13 per cent disagreeing, and 77 per cent of Australians are proud of our National Flag, with just 7 per cent disagreeing.
Many men and women have died fighting for our country and for the
freedom of its people under the Australian national flag.
I once again call on the Government to criminalise the desecration and/ or burning of the Australian national flag and to punish those supporting declared terrorists’ groups.
It is the least we can do to honour and respect our veterans both past and present.

It’s always a joy when research uncovers a totally forgotten remnant of Mount Morgan’s past. Recently discovered is the only-known image of the Mount’s Lyric Orchestra (above), which played its first grand concert on Saturday, 7 December 1912 at the Mount Morgan School of Arts.
The performers are holding or standing next to their instruments, looking at the camera with serious intent. In those days, photographers didn’t seek to elicit smiles from their subjects with a ‘cheese’. Violinists dominate the first, second and third front rows, including children. Brass and woodwind players are standing in the back row. The conductor, Albert J. Baker (seated centre between two celloists), is holding a baton in his right hand and his young son on his lap. Noticeable also are the tall necks of the double basses and the bass drum (right).
The musicians’ attire reflects the fashion trends of the early twentieth century. The ladies and girls are wearing long white dresses with high collars. (The traditional black Victorian dress was going out of fashion amongst younger generations by 1912). The men are dapper in their white shirts, jackets and trousers, and the boys are dressed similarly.
Seats for the concert were available at Rupert Mellor’s Music Warehouse in Morgan Street (pictured on Page 15), where the seating plan and a photograph of the full orchestra could be viewed. The tickets ranged from three shillings (about $20 in today’s money) to one shilling, and children were half price.
A local newspaper announced: ‘On Saturday next the public of Mount Morgan will have the opportunity of

attending the first concert given by the Lyric Orchestra. The orchestra has fifty-one instrumentalists and is under the capable conductorship of Mr. A. J. Baker. There are thirty-eight violinists and thirteen other instrumentalists in the orchestra. For some past months the full orchestra has been practising, and the concert gives every promise of being a pronounced success. Seats may be reserved at Mr. Mellor’s music shop. The bookings to date are very gratifying’ (‘Orchestral concert’, Morning Bulletin (Rockhampton, Qld. : 1878-1954), 5 December 1912).
What’s also special about this group image is that it’s accompanied by the names of the fifty-one instrumentalists, the conductor and his infant. This author has transcribed the names and added the instrument played by each musician. Are any of these performers your ancestor(s)?
