Spooktacular Fun for Annual Halloween Walk
The streets were alive with ghouls, superheroes, and rock stars on Saturday, 1 November, as Mount Morgan held its annual Halloween walk. More than 50 mums, dads, and children turned out in a spectacular display of creativity, making the event a memorable post-Halloween celebration. The participants showcased an incredible range of costumes. The parade featured everything from chilling horror movie characters and powerful Marvel heroes to flashy rock stars and classic Halloween figures like witches, pumpkins, and vampires. The festive group assembled at the Mafeking Bell in Morgan Street before setting off on their route. The walkers made a special stop at the local hospital, where they proudly showed off their elaborate costumes to the long-stay patients, bringing smiles and a touch of holiday cheer to those unable to join the street festivities. Along the way, the costumed crowd also received a generous haul, collecting lollies from various local businesses that participated in the fun. The annual walk proved once again to be a cherished community tradition, successfully blending Halloween excitement with a thoughtful gesture toward hospital patients.

Scout Hall to become community green space
Rockhampton Regional Council advises the Mount Morgan community that the former Scout Hall will be removed next week to make way for a new open space.
Unused for many years, the building is in a state of disrepair and with its deteriorating condition and asbestos present, repairs have become difficult and costly.
Parks, Sport and Public Spaces Councillor Cherie Rutherford said works commenced on Monday, 10 November and will take approximately three weeks to complete, weather dependent.
“While we had originally hoped a community group may be able to take on the hall, unfortunately due to the costs of repairing the building along with ongoing maintenance, this option has not been viable for the small number who expressed their interest,” Cr Rutherford said.
“Council undertook community consultation regarding
the future of the Scout Hall and received strong support for a new open space to be established at the site, with a great range of ideas about its ongoing use and development.
“As part of the removal, our intention is to save some of the historic pieces from the site for repurposing as part of the green space development.”
Council plans to repurpose the Scout Hall signage for display and incorporate some of the existing railings to fence the site along with installing bench seating to take advantage of the existing shade.
“Mount Morgan is an important part of our wider Region, and I am proud of Council’s ongoing investment in the township to ensure it continues to thrive and grow,” Cr Rutherford said.
“We hope the new open space will complement the Mount Morgan township, giving locals and visitors a place to stop and enjoy.”

MOUNT MORGAN ARGUS DISCLAIMER
Vibrant display of local talent at 23 Ezels art show
The Mount Morgan community celebrated a vibrant display of local talent and generosity with the successful staging of the inaugural "23 Ezels" art competition on Friday, 7 November at the Mount Morgan Soldiers’ Rooms.
Run under the banner of VisualArtists4714, the competition was conceived as a way of giving back to the community, with all prizes generously funded by local resident John Tuxworth in celebration of his 75th birthday.
The diverse collection of artworks submitted by local artists showcased a variety of styles and personal stories, leaving a strong impression on the judge, Shanna Muston, Curator at the Rockhampton Museum of Art.
"It was a fantastic celebration of community," Ms.

ARTS PRECINCT
Rhonda Billet (pictured left), a renowned Aboriginal Artist, will be holding her solo exhibition of contemporary works at the Mount Morgan Arts Precinct on Friday, 14 November at 5 pm. You may have seen a preview of her works at Baree Hall earlier in the year, and she has been prolifically producing since then. Drinks and nibbles will be on offer as you browse, and learn about the diversity of mediums Rhonda uses, as well as her sand art and vibrant use of colour. Each piece has its own narrative, and Rhonda
Muston commented on the artworks on display. She encouraged all participants, stating, "Ultimately I encourage all artists to be true to yourselves."
The winning piece, titled “Our Town,” by Louise Jones, was lauded by the judge as a fitting entry for this new concept. Ms. Muston praised the way the artwork captured the essence of the local area.
"It captures the old buildings, the winding streets and the colour in the landscape. It offers clues and enough for the viewer to also bring their own experiences to the images,” she said.
The runner-up prize was awarded to Peter Edman for his work, “Blue Lady.” Ms. Muston was particularly drawn to the expressive nature and technical simplicity of the drawing.
"I was drawn to the simplicity of line and the expressive nature of the drawing," Ms. Muston said. She added that the piece "shows restraint and captures an essence and it's also a reminder of the importances of drawings, practice and using materials at hand."
In a final vote reflecting community favourites, the People’s Choice Award went to Loyandi de Jager for her “Celebration of Soul”. Competition founder John expressed his gratitude for the overwhelming support that made the evening a success.
"I was grateful that people contributed to make the evening and competition a success," John said, reaffirming the event’s purpose of enriching the community through art.
The "23 Ezels" picture painting competition celebrated local talent, community spirit, and the simple beauty of being true to one's craft.
is inspired to share the journey of each artwork’s storytelling with us. All are welcome, so put it in your calendar, as you don’t want to miss this inspirational Artist.

SOLDIERS ROOMS
What a lovely evening we had Friday, 17 October at 5.30 pm when Hainian and Naomi Yu and friends performed their “Once Upon a Time” concert. This time with an entourage of youngsters, and one very special Bump, the glowing Naomie led the children into song with a wonderful rendition of Do Re Mi. There is something special and truly joyous about watching the anticipation for the chorus when the students could chime in, which they did with robust enthusiasm! We thank all of the performers for their generosity in providing these free concerts for our community, our cultural identity has been made richer for it!
We unfortunately had to postpone our Boho Hippy Dance and instead combined the theme with the Karaoke. As that fell on the night of the Halloween walk, we had comically a combination of peace, love and horror costumes! The singing was fantastic, with some real talent on show. The next Karaoke is Saturday, 13 December.
Our last dance for the year is “Around the World” themed and may well be the last time Capricornia Dance Exchange performs for us, having made the decision to slow down after many, many years of generously providing us with entertainment. We are eternally grateful for all they have done for our club.

Mount Morgan IGA Invests in Major Refrigeration Overhaul
Mount Morgan IGA has ushered in a new chapter of modernity and sustainability with a comprehensive, refrigeration renewal project.
The significant investment, spearheaded by owner Hugh McGilvray, represents a firm commitment to enhancing both the customer experience and the store’s environmental footprint, ensuring the local community benefits from improved product quality for decades to come.
The refrigeration renewal was not a minor patch-up or a phased upgrade of a few select units. Instead, it was a complete replacement of all customer-facing refrigeration units throughout the store.
“The scope of the refrigeration renewal project was an absolute overhaul,” Mr McGilvray said.
“This was a complete replacement of all customer facing refrigeration units throughout the store, including the fresh produce, dairy, and frozen food sections. We wanted to ensure consistency and bring all our equipment up to the highest, modern standard.”
The decision to execute a total replacement was driven by the desire for maximum reliability and efficiency, marking a transformative step for the store’s infrastructure.
The total investment in the new refrigeration system was a substantial commitment to the future of the local IGA. The expected returns on this investment are multifaceted and far-reaching, directly impacting the store’s bottom line and its service to the community.
“We anticipate significant benefits, including reduced maintenance costs due to newer, more reliable equipment, and improved product quality and freshness through more consistent temperature control. Crucially, we also expect a noticeable reduction in our energy bills,” he said.
This anticipated drop in operational expenditure, driven by better performance and reduced service needs, is a key component of the project’s business case.
Energy efficiency was a primary, non-negotiable factor in selecting the new systems, underscoring IGA Mount Morgan’s commitment to sustainability and a smaller environmental footprint.
“We opted for units with advanced inverter technology and natural refrigerants like CO2 which significantly reduce our store’s environmental footprint and energy consumption by an estimated 25%.”
The choice of natural refrigerants like CO2 moves away from older, high-Global Warming Potential (GWP) refrigerants, positioning the store as an environmental leader in the community.
The impact of the new units extends directly to the customer’s daily shopping experience, addressing key areas like visibility, comfort, and product integrity.
“The new units will directly enhance the customer shopping experience by offering improved product visibility with brighter, more efficient LED lighting,” he explained.
“They also ensure consistent temperatures across all displays, guaranteeing product integrity, and bring significantly reduced noise levels, creating a more pleasant and comfortable shopping environment.”
Furthermore, the technological upgrade has enabled the store to diversify its offerings.
“The new setup has allowed us to expand our product offerings, particularly in the perishable sections,” Mr McGilvary noted.
“The enhanced temperature stability and increased display capacity mean we can now stock a wider variety of fresh produce, specialty dairy items, and a greater selection of frozen foods, catering to diverse customer preferences.”
A crucial element of the project was the commitment to supporting the local economy.
“We proudly utilized local contractors and suppliers for the installation, including Zonca’s Refrigeration, which is proudly owned by an ex-student of Mount Morgan High,” he revealed.
“Supporting businesses within the Mount Morgan community is incredibly important to us, as it strengthens our local economy and fosters strong community ties.”
While the logistical challenge of installing new equipment while maintaining continuous operation was substantial, the team navigated it successfully.
“The main challenge was ensuring the store remained fully operational throughout the installation process,” McGilvray admitted.
“We managed this by phasing the upgrades section by section during off-peak hours and working closely with the contractors to minimize disruption, which required careful logistical planning.”
Reliability and the concept of “futureproofing” were central to the decision-making process, ensuring the community will benefit from this upgrade for many years.
“Reliability and futureproofing were major factors in our decision,” he said.
“We selected technology known for its durability, energy efficiency, and long lifespan, expecting these new systems to serve the Mount Morgan community efficiently for at least 15-20 years, providing consistent performance and reducing the need for frequent replacements.”
This extensive upgrade is a foundational part of the store’s broader strategy.
Continued on Page 7
“This refrigeration upgrade is a crucial part of our longer-term vision for IGA Mount Morgan, focusing on modernizing our infrastructure, improving sustainability, and enhancing the overall customer experience,” he concluded.
To maintain this high standard, staff have received comprehensive training on the new, modern systems, covering daily operation, routine maintenance, and basic troubleshooting.
The significant investment in state-of-the-art refrigeration technology demonstrates a clear longterm vision for Mount Morgan IGA, securing its position as a modern, sustainable, and reliable cornerstone of the local community for the next generation.

Construction activity at the Boulder Creek Wind Farm has ramped up in recent months, with significant progress being made on access tracks and site preparation for the installation of wind turbines.
Residents and road users in the area will have noticed increased traffic and construction activity along certain roads in Westwood and Mount Morgan that are undergoing upgrades so large pieces of equipment can be safely delivered to the project site.
Traffic management, including reduced speed limits and single-lane closures, is in place at various locations including Flaggy Creek Road and Arthur Street.
The project thanks the local community for your patience while it works to minimise dust and noise from the roadworks.
Mitigation measures in place include dust suppression controls via water cart operations, monitoring weather conditions, visual dust monitoring and reporting, and noise reduction blankets on temporary fencing where possible.
Variable message signs displaying 40km/hr have been deployed along Flaggy Creek Rd and Arthur Street as further mitigation to help reduce dust by controlling speeds.
At the project site, earthworks are continuing for internal access tracks and wind turbine hardstands.
The Switching Station Bench on Boulder Creek Road has reached the finished surface level stage and Powerlink Queensland will shortly mobilise its crews to begin construction of the switching station.
In other news, the Community Benefit Fund Working Group will shortly begin reviewing applications from the second round of the Boulder Creek Wind Farm Community Benefit Fund, which closed last week.
The Community Benefit Fund was established to support local initiatives with environmental and social objectives during the construction and operation of the wind farm.
Eleven projects from the communities of Westwood, Mount Morgan, Bouldercombe, Dululu, and surrounding areas received funding through the first round of the fund. Recipients for the second round will be announced before the end of 2025.
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

The heart of Dululu, is beating stronger than ever with the full reopening of the historic Dululu Hotel and the launch of the charming Dululu Cafe. After months of dedicated renovation, owners Nicole Newman and Rob Johnston are thrilled to welcome the community back to the beautifully restored establishment.
The hotel, which the couple purchased in 2023, has undergone a spectacular transformation since its purchase, It opened on 4 November. The hotel's new in-
house coffee shop, Dululu Cafe, officially opened its doors on 8 November.
The restoration has been a true labour of love, with many of the stunning renovations being custom made. Coowner Rob Johnston, a cabinet maker by trade, personally contributed to much of the bespoke work, including the magnificent new bar and custom doors, blending the hotel's history with modern facilities. The hotel itself has been carefully restored following a major fire in 2015.
The family-owned venture offers more than just a place to stay. The Dululu Cafe is serving up a selection of drinks and food, including fresh, creative toasties with names reflecting the local area, such as the Mount Morgan Gold Digger, Razorback Reuben, and Biloela Sheila. They also offer a range of sweet treats and speciality pies and sausage rolls made by Pastry Chef, Hajar (pictured above left).
The Dululu Hotel and Cafe are both open 7 days a week. Accommodation currently includes workers accommodation, with boutique accommodation soon to be on offer.
It’s been a busy time as the Federal Member for Flynn.
Two weeks in October were spent representing our region in Federal Parliament and the rest of the month I enjoyed catching up with various communities across the electorate.
In Federal Parliament, I spoke about issues such as health/aged care, Bureau of Meteorology’s (BOM) terrible new website and housing/immigration.
I also had the chance to speak about the new Certificate of Appreciation (CoA) – Saluting Their Service Commemorative Program.
In my speech, I spoke about my great uncle, Lesley Boyce who is a never-ending source of inspiration for me, his official citation stating, “Awarded Military Cross, 18 December 1917 for conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty when in command of his platoon during an attack and of the company after reaching the objective, all other officers being killed or wounded. He remained in command for two days, consolidating position and repelling counterattacks.”
He is a fine example of Australia’s defence and veteran history.
The Flynn electorate is full of incredible veterans and I’d like to acknowledge defence force personnel, past, present and emerging, for their service to our nation and particularly those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the defence of Australia.
If you're a veteran or a family member of a veteran in the Flynn electorate, you may be eligible to apply for a Certificate of Appreciation through the Saluting Their Service Commemorative Program.
These certificates are issued as a gesture of thanks, recognising the invaluable military service of those who served overseas in Australia’s Defence Forces from the Second World War onwards, in wars, conflicts, peacekeeping operations, or on the home front during the Second World War.
More information about the program can be found on the Department of Veterans Affairs website at: https:// www.dva.gov.au/recognition-and-commemoration/ apply-for-a-certificate-of-appreciation. You can also find out more by contacting one of my offices.

Fashion on Morgan Street
Above: c. 1916 / Morgan Street, Mount Morgan / Shopfront of drapery, Duffy Bros.
with staff standing under the awning / National Library of Australia.
Draperies were a common sight on Morgan Street in the 1890s and early 1900s, supplying clothes to the town’s fashion-conscious inhabitants. General manager of the Mount Morgan Gold Mining Company Limited, Captain Richard, and family epitomise well-dressed locals of the time (pictured on page 15). Prevailing Morgan Street draperies were A. W. Kirby & Co., D. D. O’Connell & Co., W. Woods & Co. (pictured on page 15) and James Stewart & Co. (also known as ‘Stewarts’).
Local advertisements indicate that draperies traded as mixed businesses. In addition to the latest styles in women’s and men’s clothing, they offered tailoring and millinery services and sold shoes, boots and house furnishings.
Draperies often advertised themselves as ‘Cash Drapers’ or ‘Spot Cash Drapers’. This was a popular marketing strategy, offering discounted or wholesale prices on cash transactions (as opposed to lay-bys and cheques).
The below advertisement typifies fashionable men’s clothing for sale at a Morgan Street cash draper in
1912, with prices in shillings and pence (one shilling was equivalent to ten cents and one pence, a cent):
Consider, criticise, and compare qualities and prices.
Men’s Striped Tweed Trousers, from 1/11 [about $14 in today’s money with inflation].
Men’s White Tennis Shirts, from 1/6.
Men’s Wool Sweaters, from 3/11.
Men’s Black Twill Shirts, from 3/11 …’.
(‘Advertising’, Morning Bulletin (Rockhampton, Qld. : 1876-1954), 19 August 1912).
A relative latecomer, Duffy Brothers Limited entered the local drapery scene in 1916 and opened a large store at the east end of Morgan Street (near the Leichhardt Hotel). The only-known image of Duffy Brothers’ store (above) was probably taken to mark its grand opening. The thirty or so employees (predominantly female) are standing under the large building signage, which reads, ‘Duffy Bros Ltd Cash Drapers Boot & Shoes’. The men are wearing white shirts and black trousers, some with a black vest or

Limited,
jacket. The women’s work garb appears to be a white blouse and a long black or white skirt.
Duffy Brothers traded for only six years in Mount Morgan, which may explain why only one photograph of the store can be found. The building and stock were destroyed by fire in 1922, along with the adjoining Kelly and Sons’ warehouse full of groceries and hardware. Subsequently, Duffy Brothers departed the Mount to expand their branch store in Rockhampton, which they had opened in 1921.
However, some original Morgan Street draperies operated for decades, such as Woods & Co. and Stewarts. After more than thirty years in Mount Morgan, Stewarts auctioned its department store in 1927 to focus on its Rockhampton business. Stewarts still trades as a department store in East Street, Rockhampton, and these days, with an online store.
