trucks were loaded in bundles weighing 2-3 tons. The train arrived back at Rocky Point about midday and then a second trip was made. The first loco driver was Ernst Giegold, who had previously worked at the Carbrook Mill and later became engineer at Rocky Point.

By Dr. Graeme Nicholson. he Beenleigh District had four different railways up to 1960. The smallest was the narrow-gauge railway built at the Rocky Point Sugar plantation in 1923. As promised in the last issue here is a description of this little engine with a big heart.

Laying Cane Tram Track Rocky Point to Norwell 1924

THE ROCKY POINT CANE TRAIN FOWLER LOCOMOTIVE Because of the boggy terrain, using German wagons to transport the cane was impractical, so as the cane trucks and mill yard tracks had been part of the package when the Rocky Point Mill had purchased the Nerang Central Mill at Benowa, it was decided to build the Rocky Point tramway. The sleepers were cut at Heck’s sawmill, adjacent to the mill and the line followed the road for most of its length. The line was officially opened on 16 August 1923 by local MLA Mr. J. G. Appel.

The locomotive of the sugar cane railway is a 0-4-0 type built by John Fowler and Sons Limited of Leeds in the UK. Its serial number is 16249 and the year of manufacture is 1923.

It ended its working life in 1951. It can still be seen at The Beenleigh Historical Village and Museum. 205 Main St, Beenleigh QLD Phone: (07) 3382 0608

When the tramway began the mill only worked one shift. Later a second shift was introduced.

The morning shift started at 6.00 am and after preparing the locomotive and making a rake of 20-25 empties it left for Norwell. There the On Display at the Beenleigh Historical Village

THRIVE WHERE

By Nick Carrol

T

he Eagleby Giants JRLFC are proud to announce that former NRL player Mark Tookey will be the clubs Head of Football at Bishop Street Park Eagleby. This is exciting news for the rugby league club that is celebrating its 10th season.

Mark Tookey played professional rugby league for the South east Queensland Crushers, Parramatta Eels and New Zealand Warriors before travelling over to England to play in the English Super League. Mark Tookey has always been a community minded person looking for ways to help local kids and it’s great that he can now help local kids in Eagleby.

“As a club we have always prided ourselves in being more than just a rugby league club.

We have created a community hub that offers

support with mental health talks, the Giants five keys to success and a 12 step support group. But now through Mark Tookey, we can also offer support for our coaches and specialised clinics for our players. It’s just another way we as a club can offer more support,” says President Arthur Joyce.

Mark Tookey wasted no time in getting started holding a two-week clinic for under 15’s – under 17’s in November last year and this year he has already held a coaching seminar and a community clinic for local kids.

“Our club is very passionate about encouraging our community to dream big and live large - we want everyone in our community to know that they can succeed, they can thrive where they are!”

“We don’t just want to say that, we want to help our players achieve this and Mark Tookey is the right person for the job. We have exciting developments happening at our grounds at Bishop Street Park Eagleby so we are very excited about this season!,” said club president Arthur Joyce.

As Head of Football Mark Tookey will be mentoring and training the coaches and will be holding monthly training clinics for the players.

His aim is to upskill and develop the players by sharing his knowledge and love of the game.

ARTIFICIAL FLOWERS

BLOOMING ALL

OVER THE COUNTRY

I

am one of those people who believe that every room should have flowers in it. It has been said that flowers can lift your mood, they never fail to make people smile. A bouquet of flowers brings a room to life, making it feel warmer and more homely. Nothing enhances a home quite like a fresh bouquet of blooms.

They add colour, fragrance and a touch of happiness to your day.

And when your favourite fresh flowers aren’t in season or are hard to come by, what do you do?

An artificial flower arrangement is a perfect solution. Artificial flowers today aren’t the same as the bright-coloured, flat-textured flowers of yesteryear.

Now, thanks to advancing technology, artificial flowers have become so realistic-looking it's hard to tell them apart from real ones. Gone are the days of tacky silk and plastic-looking artificial flowers. Mind you, they’re still out there, but technology is producing some spectacular alternatives.

“They are a great alternative to regular flowers.

Except they will never die, are allergy-free and are always in season”, commented Kris, “They are so easy to maintain. All you have to do is keep them out of direct sunlight and dust them with a damp cloth on occasion. They look amazing all year round."

As a florist with over 30 years of experience, local business owner and mother, Kris Kirshaw has a wealth of knowledge in working with

flowers, real and artificial. So, when the opportunity arose to own her own florist business again, Kris jumped at the chance.

businesses are in the same boat, where they are struggling to get stock to fill the shelves and of course the cancellation of events such as weddings, funerals and larger gatherings”.

So, in 2018 Kris took over as the owner of Beautiful Budget Bouquets, a florist with a twist. Instead of traditional real flowers, Beautiful Budget Bouquets specialises in artificial flowers. Thenceforth, Kris has been arranging bouquets and flower arrangements for brides, weddings as well as other events and occasions.

When Covid hit, Kris took advice from a business consultant, who tried to guide her in a direction that wasn’t suitable for her and my businesses. This caused Kris to feel like she had lost her purpose for a while before she went back to doing what she loved.

“The sky's the limit. There is nothing we can’t do to create the perfect flower arrangement and bring to life someone's dream”, commented Kris.

“The best advice I’ve gotten is to stay in my own lane; stick to what you love and are good at while surrounding yourself with good people.

You won’t go wrong then”, stated Kris, “If you love what you do you won’t work a day in your life.”

Over the next year, Kris started thinking about expanding into the wholesale market and in 2019 took over Giftlines Australia; a leading designer and wholesale supplier of quality real touch and silk artificial flowers that have been supplying wholesale clients worldwide since 1999. Ever since then she has been immersed in the world of artificial flowers.

However, like most business owners will tell you it's not all smooth sailing. There have been some challenges, with the biggest one being Covid.

“The biggest impact that Covid has had on my business in the past year or two, is importing and sourcing products. A lot of other

Now at the beginning of 2022, we can see the light at the end of the tunnel, especially with borders opening up and things returning to normal, people and businesses are more optimistic.

“I feel that 2022 is going to be an exciting year for us. We want to build a strong community network here in the Logan Area and the wider community,” commented Kris. “It’s important to have a strong foundation to build your business upon; with a strong foundation, you can overcome every obstacle you may face, including a worldwide pandemic”.

“Our goal is to raise awareness about the benefits of artificial flowers and the fantastic quality we provide. For you can’t sell a secret.

That is why we send out free sample boxes to those who ask so they can see the quality for themselves,” stated Kris.

For more information or to get your very own sample box, contact Kris and her team on 0419 668 210 or head to the Beautiful Budget Bouquets Facebook page, https://www. facebook.com/beautifulbudgetbouquets/.

SPECIAL FEATURE

What's the best way

TO CHOOSE

A SCHOOL?

W

ithout doubt, the best way to start the search is to give some thought to your child's potential to succeed at different things and in different environments.

• Get a clear picture of your child's interests, abilities and weak spots.

• Consider their academic strong points as well as their aptitudes in sport, art and other extracurricular areas.

• Ask your child to think about what they like and don't like about school, their own strengths and needs, and the things they want to get out of secondary school.

A reasonably complete picture of your child makes it easier to know what you are looking for in a school, and to recognise it when you find it.

Primary school teachers who know your child may be useful sources of information.

The most systematic way to select a school is to compare the options against a checklist of school types and characteristics. The headings throughout this section can be used to form the basis of these checklists.

If you have a particular need to satisfy (for example, a special educational requirement or a preference for boarding or distance education), the choice will be limited. Otherwise, start by deciding where you're prepared to travel to, which sectors are most appropriate, and, if applicable, the religion or ethos you prefer. You can add to your checklist by including other characteristics you think would benefit your child (a strong sporting program, a particular language or a new science laboratory, for example).

Once you have identified the schools that fit your criteria, you should have a short enough list to go shopping. Visit the schools, scour their websites and talk about them with anyone who knows the school firsthand.

14 | Beenleigh Guide

Which schools get the 'best' results?

Although it's not always useful to apply a blanket success rating based on ATAR scores to compare schools with different subjects and students, it's essential to consider each school's performance against its own best possible outcomes and the outcomes you want for your child.

You will probably want to consider the pattern of student performance in Year 12, including the outcomes of senior students. The percentage of ‘high achievers' in a school is an influential factor for many parents, but remember that every school enrols a different range of students, so you are seldom comparing like with like.

You need to find out why the record looks so good (or not so good) and compare schools' achievements on balance. Many parents are also interested in finding out the proportion of students who go to university. Again, this figure is important, but it does not indicate the universities attended, the courses taken or the number of students awarded their first preference.

Try to assess the ability of a school to ‘add value'. For instance, a school adds value if its Year 12 students get better results than would have been predicted from previous years' results.

Also consider the retention rate. It is a significant measure of the school's success if students are staying on at the school to complete Year 12. Schools usually keep track of two figures: retention between Years 7 and 12 and retention between Years 10 and 12. You could ask about this along with added value.

One other very important factor is the teacher. There is an extensive body of research to suggest that although schools make a significant difference, the difference made by individual teachers is even greater.

Specialists in Primary Education Creativity at Bethania All children are naturally creative and curious, and thrive when given the opportunity to cultivate their creativity. Here at Bethania Lutheran School, we nurture curiosity from the moment they walk through our doors until the day they graduate, providing them with the tools they need to wonder, question and design creative ideas.

Learning Culture Bethania Lutheran School is proud to have a solid, inclusive learning culture, where every child’s uniqueness is appreciated.

Student engagement is a major focus, with our teachers designing learning experiences to get our students excited, motivated and thinking creatively, capturing their interest as they meaningfully explore real world problems.

themselves to grow and progress both academically and emotionally.

BLS are developing self directed, creative thinkers, problem solvers and independent learners, encouraging our students to take risks in a safe environment.

Learning Spaces The culture of a Learning Space, also has it’s hand in creating creative students, in creating the long-term memories for our students.

Agile and outdoor Learning Spaces allow for flexibility in the classroom layout to suit students preferred learning style. Students develop an awareness of their own learning style and are trusted to make choices about how they learn best.

The learning culture at BLS together with our flexible learning spaces, provide students the opportunity to think deeply, and creatively.

T

he Scenic Rim region is a thriving rural paradise set in the foothills of the Great Dividing Range and surrounded by World Heritage-listed national parks. Home to a population of more than 40,000 the region covers 4254sq km and is located an hour south of Brisbane and an hour inland from the Gold Coast.

Known for its breathtaking scenery, it is a popular tourist destination offering visitors plenty to see and do. From its myriad of wineries and art galleries to expansive bushwalking tracks, state of the art equine facilities, growing rural communities and friendly country charm, the Scenic Rim region is a must-see destination.

One of these unique communities rich in history and tradition is Canungra and can be found nestled in the foothills of the Lamington National Park.

lished the Canungra Sawmill; the first intensive exploitation of the timber reserves. In the early part of the 20th century, Canungra was home to the largest softwood timber mill in Australia.

The mill serviced the large area along the Canungra Creek and the upper Coomera River.

Today, Canungra is a hub for exciting activities and unique opportunities, like hang gliding and hot air ballooning.

Close to town, visitors can enjoy farm stays, bed and breakfasts, cabin accommodation and vineyards where people can enjoy a smorgasbord of unique food and wine experiences.

Take time out for a light lunch, morning or afternoon tea at one of the many restaurants or cafés. Don’t forget a stroll around the local shops and heritage displays.

Canungra has a little bit of everything in the heart of the Gold Coast Hinterlands. There is something for visitors to do all year round. So why not make Canungra your next weekend getaway.

Nicknamed the “Valley of the Owls”, one of the origins of the town’s name comes from the Aboriginal word for small owls, “Caningera”.

Canungra owes its existence to the early cedar getters, saw millers and the expanding timber industry. The town developing from a village settlement had evolved there from the 1880s, around the time the Lahey brothers estab-

Bruce Highway TRAVE L ALON G THE

T CAI R NS

he Bruce Highway. The seemingly never ending 1,679km stretch of road that has been connecting Queenslanders between Brisbane and Cairns since it was completed in December 1986. It has become a regular companion in the great Queensland Road trip.

With so many great places to stay, things to do and places to eat the possibilities are endless.

In this regular travel feature, we will be taking our audience on the ultimate

road trip, ‘Travel along the Bruce Highway’.

Starting from Brisbane, we are going all the way up to Cairns! Featuring a new city or region every couple of months - along the way showcasing local attractions, places and hidden gems that everyone should experience at least once.

All aboard for the first destination: Sunshine Coast & Hinterlands!

Just north of Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast encompasses the coastline from Caloundra to Rainbow Beach; the lush countryside of the hinterland and the beauty of this region will captivate you. Rich in diversity, the destination is brimming with the best that Australia has to offer.

Pristine beaches sit alongside subtropical rainforests and majestic mountains, interspersed with villages steeped in history.

Frolic at the beach in the morning and enjoy the afternoon in the lush hinterland, just a short drive away.

Savour the fresh and bountiful local produce through a paddock to plate and trawler to table dining experience or have your pick of

Feel like a local from the moment you arrive where the people are friendly and genuine.

The Hinterlands Beyond the beaches of the Sunshine Coast, you will find a rich array of charming villages, country towns and breathtaking scenery.

Here friendly locals’ welcome visitors with a smile and the pristine landscape are home to pockets of sub-tropical rainforest, cooling waterfalls and sweeping views that are waiting to be explored.

One of our favourite local trips to take on a quiet weekend is just over an hour away, along the Bruce Highway and up into the Sunshine Coast Hinterland to Maleny and Montville.

SPECIAL FEATURE

3 REASONS

TO GO OUT FOR

BREAKFAST

B

reakfast is considered by many as the most important meal of the day, but how often do you eat a good breakfast or even pay attention to what you’re eating?

For most people, the morning rush to work or getting the kids ready can overshadow everything - meaning you won’t necessarily have the time to go out for breakfast during the week; you should certainly do this on weekends. Not only is it a lovely treat after a long week, but here are some other benefits you can get from doing this as well.

Eating a Hearty Meal You don’t have to get a big stack of pancakes or a plate full of eggs, bacon, and sausages (unless you want to). A lot of places have smaller, healthier breakfast options on the menu to choose from, but no matter what you go for, at least you will be eating a hearty meal.

36 | Beenleigh Guide

This will give you the fuel you need to take on the rest of the day, and should certainly keep you feeling full until lunchtime.

Start Your Day Right As well as eating a good breakfast, part of starting your day right is by slowing down and taking things in. By going out to breakfast rather than sitting at home, you have an opportunity to sit back, relax and just watch the world go by.

You could take a book to read with you if you’re going alone, or you could just people watch if you would like. Savour your food and think about how you would like the rest of the day to shape up.

Fun with Friends If you are going out to breakfast with your friends, this is a great opportunity to catch up and enjoy yourselves. Whether you meet up and decide to try out a bottomless brunch and have a few breakfast mimosas to start your Saturday, or just stick to coffee, it’s a good way to catch up with friends and take a break from your hectic lifestyle during the week So, why not treat yourself to breakfast at one of Logan’s local cafés! Get a few friends together or go by yourself to try some of these local cafes and restaurants producing some of the best breakfasts in Logan.

As a participant, GSFW will help you gain the skills and confidence to enter the workforce, go on to further training or go back and complete school.

PCYC Beenleigh is offering an ongoing 10-week GSFW training program. Programs are run in small groups of no more than 10 young people who are genuinely interested in improving skills and increasing chances of gaining employment.

PCYC Beenleigh Get Set for Work Coordinator Rob Workman said one of the greatest benefits of the program is helping participants gain an adult perspective on their own future, and a direction to take.

“For young people who may struggle academically, Get Set for Work provides the confidence to make the transition from school life to working life, successfully re-engaging students back into education or employment,” said Mr Workman.

NEW BEENLEIGH

STEEL FACILITY

TAKES SHAPE

Over 40 new jobs available

T

he new Beenleigh Steel Fabrication facility at Berrinba is taking shape and when it’s finished by the end of June there will be over 40 new jobs to be added to the BSF workforce.

“Whilst the upgrading of our operation will help bring about this efficiency gain, we are going to need at least another 40 boilermakers and welders to join our team to be able to deliver our services to our clients,” Mr Stockert said.

Mr Stoeckert is keen to hear from tradespeople who want to work on some very exciting projects that are coming up in the months and years ahead.

“BSF has achieved the reputation of being a “goto” company for major construction fabrication needs.

The construction schedule was delayed over the Christmas break and some wet weather in January but now with things drying out on site, the builders are able to get on with pouring concrete and getting the steel frame up.

“This expansion will further enhance this reputation and help us secure our place as a leading supplier with an exciting future in an exciting construction industry,” Mr Stoeckert said.

Director, Anthony Stoeckert is pleased with the progress now being made and as a result is putting it out to boilermakers and welders to come and join BSF.

Mr Stoeckert is also pleased that the Queensland Government shares the view that the construction industry has an exciting future and has seen fit to help fund the fit out of the new facility through its Jobs and Regional Growth Fund.

“Beenleigh Steel Fabrication is investing in our future by building and relocating to new stateof-the-art premises in Gilmore Road, Berrinba.

“We have outgrown our Crestmead workshop and we need to upgrade our tooling and infrastructure.

“We are increasing our workspace to two larger sheds with higher capacity overhead cranes that will mean a better flow of our fabrication through the work areas.

“Our work has always had the highest quality assurance however we will become more efficient in reaching the required standard at our new facility.

46 | Beenleigh Guide

“BSF is pleased to have the support of the Queensland Government’s Jobs and Regional Growth Fund to assist with the fit out of our new facility.

“The contribution means that BSF can get to a more secure financial position employing more people than if we didn’t have the Government support.

“Logan is a growing area that has a great future and BSF is pleased to play our part alongside Logan City Council and the many other Logan businesses to help create a stronger Logan,” Mr Stoeckert said.

Apply for a community grant Nominate a local school, sporting club or not-for-profit organisation and they could be the recipient of a $300 Beenleigh Marketplace Gift Card to help support, promote or keep the community active. There is one grant to be awarded each month.
