Marcus Shimbel CEO - Caboolture Show Society

Hello and welcome to the 2023 Caboolture show, it is great to see everyone here, and we know you will have a fantastic time!

As well as the traditional favourites, we are bringing plenty of new and exciting events and exhibits to the show, and we would love to hear what you think, as we continue to expand and improve into the future. Why not drop us a message to info@ cabooltureshow.com

For us, the next 12 months are all about bringing the community back to the showgrounds. We have all faced some big challenges in recent times, and now is when we come

together and return the Caboolture Showgrounds to its position as the hub, and heart, of Caboolture.

And it is the community who will be the key to this, as we continue to expand our support of the diverse range of vital groups which call Caboolture, and the Showgrounds, home, and welcome even more groups to use our facilities as they add to the vibrant and colourful fabric of the Caboolture region.

While the Caboolture Show is an essential part of our community, it is our community of volunteers who are an essential part of the Show. So, to all of our dedicated Show Society

members, thank you for your tireless efforts to make the Show happen. We would not be here without you, and to our wider community of volunteers and organisations who join with us each year, thank you also for the magnificent work you do.

If you would like to be part of our Show, new members are always welcome. Not only are there special membership benefits, you become part of the Caboolture Show, now and in the future.

Councillor Peter Flannery

Mayor - Moreton Bay Regional Council

As technology evolves, times change, and the world becomes increasingly complicated, it’s occurred to me that one thing remains constant - the excitement and anticipation associated with our annual shows!

So it’s fitting the Caboolture Show has one of the longest and proudest histories in all of Australia. Since 1914 the Caboolture Show has been bringing people together to celebrate this community by showcasing its agricultural outputs, display local wares and talents, and of course foster friendly competition in events

like the woodchops and equestrian arena.

It’s about having some good oldfashioned fun, and Council is proud to be part of keeping this important tradition alive.

From humble origins, the Caboolture Show has exploded to be one of Queensland’s premier show events. It now boasts so much more than a few pavilions - there’s a rodeo, monster trucks, fireworks, show jumping, an incredible sideshow alley and much, much more.

In some ways, the growth and popularity of the Caboolture Show

is a metaphor for Caboolture’s growth itself - a former pastoral community that’s about to become the newest and most exciting city in South East Queensland. Which gives me confidence that the community spirit of Caboolture will remain for generations to come, because even as this place realises its future and potential, things like this wonderful Show remain as popular and as important as ever.

On behalf of the Caboolture community, I want to express my sincere gratitude to the remarkable volunteers of the Show Society

all the amazing upcoming events here at the Caboolture Showgrounds. While you are there, why not secure your spot? Just click to buy your tickets!

Thanks again for coming to this year’s Caboolture Show, we can’t wait to see you here!

who make this event something exceptional year-on-year. I hope you all have a blast at this year’s event and make the 2023 Caboolture Show an event for the entire family to remember.

Have a great Show!

Better health care on the horizon for growing

WINNER

THE Health Minister has joined workers to mark the end of construction on the Caboolture Satellite Hospital as the fit out begins.

Work is now underway to equip and prepare the multi-million dollar facility for patients - one of seven of its kind being established in South-East Queensland as part of the State Government’s Satellite Hospitals Program and landmark Health and Hospitals Plan.

The Minister also announced that the Caboolture Satellite Hospital is expected to open in August.

The Caboolture Satellite Hospital will have the capacity to accommodate 600 outpatient appointments a week in its consult and treatment rooms with Queensland Health clinicians, including mental health specialists and Rapid

This includes the capacity to provide care for up to 490 walk-in patients a week.

It will include a Minor Injury and Illness Clinic, which will accept free walk-ins seven days a week from 8am until 10pm (with health staff working until 11.30pm).

The facility will also include:

* oral health services, including prevention, promotion and early intervention, intra-oral radiology, and specialist referral services;

* a sleep studies clinic for respiratory-related sleep disorders, including home sleep testing and CPAP/non-invasive ventilation support;

* medical imaging and diagnostic services, including ultrasound, X-ray, orthopantomogram and pathology; and

* an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander

screening, health promotion and health education. The Satellite Hospitals Program is one part of the State Government’s record $23.6 billion healthcare investment, which is delivering new hospitals, more beds, more services, and more frontline health workers.

Member for Morayfield, Mark Ryan, said the Caboolture Satellite Hospital will be a gamechanger for the growing region in offering the health care services the community needs.

“Having capacity for 490 walk-in patients a week will help to relieve pressure on our emergency departments,” he said.

“I’m pleased our community can lead the way in benefiting from the multi-million-dollar Satellite Hospital investment by the Palaszczuk

The Moreton Bay Bug COMMENT

When perfect ain’t perfect

WE’RE in the middle of footy season and you can see the shoulders of some players droop.

I’m not talking professional footy but the kids playing on a local oval for their school or club team.

You can see some kids feel that since they aren’t in the top grade or playing to their dreams, they might as well give up.

This is when caring coaches and parents know to tread carefully, especially in this era of perfectionism.

Everyone is supposed to be perfect.

We see all the images of the perfect pass or perfect tackle and that’s supposed to be us.

It’s even worse for teenage girls looking at all those social media images of Miss Perfect.

Burpengary – vehicle into a wall

Here’s one for the girls. I recently met a high profile ‘social media influencer’ without her four hours of makeup.

She had a couple of skin blotches, the start of a line of wrinkles around the mouth and her bum definitely looked

bigger than carefully curated images.

And she was a high anxiety potty mouth that was driving partner number X thousand totally nuts.

Despite the social media images, no one is perfect.

Recently a study was done about perfectionism to try to find out what impact this effect is having on people.

A range of people, some who thought they were Mr or Miss Perfection and others who accepted that were (in the words of The Perfect) ‘try hards’ or ‘never would be’ were put on stationary exercise bikes.

They were asked to ride hard.

Afterwards they were all told they had failed - but they had a second chance.

Interestingly ‘the perfect’ and the others fell into two groups. Half of each tried harder - and half gave up.

The try hards actually improved their performance more than the perfect.

The perfect who gave up performed worse than the try hards who called it a day.

Various conclusions about what this means for the socalled mental health crisis is yet to be fully analysed.

But a coach or parent watching players deciding part way through the season to just give up (or in words heard too often ‘I’m just crap’) can take some heart.

With both the perfectionists and the try hards, a little encouragement with a little tough love can enhance their performance.

And by gently lowering their perfect goals, the disheartened player can actually run for something they can achieveand actually achieve better than they expected.

Putting kids up against the perfect can often mean they tackle or run worse, rather than better like their heroes.

Rather than chasing perfection, or worse, being encouraged to think they are little perfects, the study shows it is better to deal in reality.

Yes, kid, a disheartening game this week, but why not try a little bit here or a bit there to do a bit better next week. That’s the way towards improvement.

Rather than Perfect or Quit, the lesson is no one is perfect, so let’s just take little steps to be a little better.

Narangba – single-vehicle crash

Sexual offence charges

INVESTIGATORS from Moreton Child Protection and Investigation Unit have charged a man with 117 offences relating to child sexual offences, and are appealing for information of any further incidents.

In February 2022 a woman made a complaint to police of alleged sexual offences when she was a teenager, by a man who was known to her.

In October 2022 police executed a search warrant at a Burpengary East residence and allegedly located child exploitation material.

Detectives have since identified 15 victims, all known to the man, and the offences allegedly occurred between 1992 and 2022 in the Redcliffe Peninsula, Deception Bay and Burpengary areas.

It will be alleged the man befriended some of the victims

during his employment as a bus driver between 1983 and 2001. These victims were aged between 13 and 15 at the time of the offence.

The 55-year-old Burpengary East man was initially charged on October 31, 2022; with additional charges being laid after more victims made complaints.

The man has been charged with 117 offences, including 19 counts each of rape and carnal knowledge (child under 16) and 54 counts of indecent treatment of a child under 16.

He is expected to reappear before the Redcliffe Magistrates Court on July 17.

Detectives are appealing for anyone with information, or interactions of a similar nature, to contact Crime Stoppers or Policelink.

Investigations are ongoing.

EMAIL THE MORETON BAY BUG :

TWO stable patients, one with an arm injury and one with abdominal pain were transported to Royal

Brisbane and Women’s Hospital following a singlevehicle crash at Narangba last Saturday night.

The incident occurred on the corner of Forest Ridge Drive and Oakey Flat Road at about 8.56pm.

A FEMALE in her teens was transported in a stable condition to Caboolture

Hospital following a single-vehicle accident at Burpengary last Saturday.

The vehicle collided with a wall on Rosehill Drive and Pitt Road at about 9.47pm.

Woodford local takes out mega cash raffle prize

WOODFORD local Alina Baisden was named the winner of the Woodford Lions Club’s Mega Cash raffle, which was announced at the Woodford Community Hall last Saturday night during the ‘Dancing In The Cool’ annual dance event.

Alina was presented with a cheque for $25,000, with a Woodford Lions spokesperson saying the club was very happy to see the prize go to someone local.

While thanking everyone who bought a ticket to support the club, the spokesperson said the funds raised from the raffle would go towards the club’s local projects including the Street Carnival and Lantern Parade on December 1.

Alina thanked the Lions, saying they were a wonderful group of people who did a

lot with regard to serving the community.

Alina was overwhelmed and said she was “very grateful” to receive the award, although it hadn’t necessarily sunk in yet.

“It was hard to believe,” she said.

Alina indicated it would take some time to decide how to spend the prize money, as she wanted to use some of it to help out someone who was struggling.

As a business owner and a single mum with a nine-yearold daughter, Alina said she understood the struggles that a lot of single parents faced with work, family and financial pressures.

“I want to do something good to help someone else, such as another single mum, or a foundation,” she said.

Moreton Bay business leaders cement international reputation

BUILDING on the resounding success of the 2022 New Zealand trade mission which yielded over $1 million in sales for local businesses, Moreton Bay business leaders are heading back on a second trade mission with a specific focus on sustainable manufacturing.

Joining Moreton Bay Mayor Peter Flannery on this mission are industry-leading companies such as Solar Bollard Lighting, Kennedy’s Timbers, TRI Underground Australia, and Ausbuild.

Solar Bollard Lighting’s managing director Mike Arieni said his company boosted

export sales off the back of our last visit.

“In fact we exceeded 50% revenue growth, it was a tremendous outcome,” Mr Arieni said.

“This trade mission presents an exciting opportunity to further strengthen these bonds, unleash new opportunities, and

continue driving the growth of our business and showcase the region’s calibre in sustainable manufacturing.”

The itinerary includes meetings with 40 prominent business leaders, attendance at a sustainability showcase event, insightful site visits, and engagements with leading New

Zealand architects, designers, and construction companies.

Cr Flannery said the meetings aim to spotlight the exceptional products and opportunities offered by Moreton Bay.

“Our vision is to foster a more prosperous and vibrant Moreton Bay, cultivating a robust economy and generating

new employment opportunities within our region,” Cr Flannery said.

Council conducted an expression of interest process in March, hoping to identify up to 10 qualified and complementary local businesses interested in participating in this trade mission.

Calls for assistance after kitten found dumped in post box

RSPCA Queensland is calling for information from anyone who may know about a kitten being found in a post box in Caboolture South on Thursday, May 25.

The RSPCA indicated the kitten was dumped in the post box between 12.30pm and 6.30pm, after a passer-by heard a kitten meowing from inside the post box on the corner of Morayfield Road and John Street.

Having serviced the post box at 12.30pm on the day, Australia Post later stated that the kitten was not inside at the time.

RSPCA rescue officer Samantha freed the kitten, with the Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES) assisting her in cutting open the post box.

“A huge shoutout to the Caboolture A team – Mark, Peter, Max and Bryan. It was a delicate and noisy rescue, but we could grab the kitten safely,” the RSPCA rescue officer said.

The kitten, now named Pat, has since received veterinary care at the RSPCA in Brisbane.

The RSPCA was thankful to the passer-by for alerting authorities, as the kitten would likely have been exposed to cold temperatures overnight and heat the following morning inside the metal post box, if not found before the Friday 12.30pm post box service.

RSPCA inspector Julia Steley said the kitten could have died if not found in time.

“It is deeply concerning that someone could do this,” she said.

“The kitten would have been frightened and uncomfortable.”

The RSPCA is urging the community to ask for help if they are struggling with a pet, and to surrender unwanted litters.

“Dumping any animal is inhumane. If you need help with an animal, reach out,” Ms Steley said.

Anyone found abandoning or dumping animals can face prosecution.

Anyone with dashcam footage or information about how the kitten came to be dumped in the post box is urged to contact the

Pasifika Vibes Festival to keep rocking with $10,000

AFTER a blockbuster event that exceeded all expectations this year, Moreton Bay Regional Council will provide Pasifika Families Inc with $10,000 to support the Pasifika Vibes Festival over the next two years.

Moreton Bay Mayor Peter Flannery said he’d already marked his calendar for May 6 ready for next year’s event at Pine Rivers Showgrounds.

“People have clearly spoken with their feet, this year’s capacity crowd showed people travelled from across south east Queensland to attend Pasifika and Council is proud to support its continuing success,” Cr Flannery said.

“This festival is a true multicultural extravaganza, and it is one of the largest Polynesian festivals in Queensland, with more than

15,000 people turning out this year.

“If you’ve never been it’s well worth the visit, it’s like getting to visit Samoa, Vanuatu, Fiji, New Zealand and more all in one day.

“It’s an annual not-forprofit event that celebrates the cultures, foods, arts and traditions of our Pacific neighbours, many of who have emigrated to Australia and enrich our Moreton Bay community.

“I see the continuing success of Pasifika Vibess as a testament to the vibrancy and strength of our community networks.”

Cr Mick Gillam (Div 8) said this event was already one of the major festivals on Moreton Bay’s social calendar.

“While Council is proud to be a financial supporter, this

is entirely community-driven vision and the volunteers who worked tirelessly over many months to make this dream a reality are the ones we have to thank,” he said.

“I especially want to recognise and thank all the elders and dignitaries who made the opening ceremony so special.

“Pasifika Vibes Festival is a great celebration of what can be achieved when we work together to celebrate the uniqueness and differences in culture, which I hope fills everyone in our region with pride.

“I definitely encourage you to get along next year if you’ve never been.”

The motto of Pasifika Family Inc is: Many people, shared purpose, all cultures working together so our roots run deeper.

Plenty of attendees were dressed to impress at the Moreton Bay Red Ride. Story p16.

Too much advice for a grumpy old git

WHEN one of my kids gave me a card recently bearing the words “Happy birthday you grumpy old git”, I thought it was funny, but I’m also a bit worried because it’s so accurate.

First of all I admit to being a “git”, a term of insult denoting an unpleasant, silly, incompetent, annoying, senile, elderly or childish person. Guilty on all counts.

What about “old”? Of course. I don’t subscribe to the feel-good shite about “age is just a number” and “you’re only as old as you feel” (or similar versions). I’m a “boomer” so I’m old.

And as for the “grumpy” bit — yes, definitely. I really need to find a doctor who can prescribe chill pills because when I catch up with the news every morning I get angry, and if I’m not careful I’m grumpy for the rest of the day.

Regular readers would have figured out that politics is the main source of my grumpiness. But even without the constant infections from our political pandemic there’s lots of other subjects that cause pain and stir the (former) red-headed temper.

I really fire up when celebrities, sport “stars”, and

other “influencers” tell me how to act, think, and live my life.

Why should I turn to a footballer or a football code for advice on changes to the Australian Constitution or other social issues? Why should I seek advice from an actor on science issues, or a social media influencer on medical issues?

And why would the Australian Olympic Committee feel qualified to tell me how to vote? The three values of Olympism are excellence, respect and friendship. How do these obviously shallow values fit in with telling me how to vote?

But if I don’t put my faith in these people on all issues it seems I’m a denier, a neo-Nazi, a sexist, a racist, a fascist, any number of other loathsome “ists”, or just a contemptible privileged white male.

I’d like to think I’m none of those things but one thing is certain — I’m a grumpy old git.

Good grounding

YOU have to love bureaucratspeak. How’s this for a “proper” way of describing a police action to the court?

“When police approached the defendant in an attempt to

transition the defendant to the ground and place him under arrest ……”

“Transition to the ground?” What’s wrong with the oncecommon term “flattened the bastard”?

Sincerely yours (not)

THE word “sincerity” starts with “sin” and when it comes to the modus operandi of the Palaszczuk Government, it appears to be a sin to be sincere with the electorate.

The sheer arrogance of the Premier’s office and the “standard response” in dealing with distraught victims of crime is bad enough, but the overthe-top follow-up after media disclosure of the issue was sickening.

In a recent incident the victim was first brushed off by the Premier’s office. When caught out, her office sent an email of apology, not for the arrogant contempt the victim had been held in, but for sending the original email “in error”.

Then the victim was contacted by the local MP Aaron Harper who said, “I understand the Premier’s office has apologised and I welcome that move.”

“Welcome that move?” How about moving a vote of no confidence in the Premier’s office Mr Harper? Nah, that would upset the boss and MPs can’t do that.

So the champion of the Townsville people announced he was “facilitating a meeting with new Youth Justice Minister Di Farmer and myself to hear from this gentleman on his experiences and concerns”.

You are a joke Mr Harper. The “gentleman” you referred to told the Premier his concerns and was fobbed off with a “standard response”.

I wonder if the response included the line “don’t call me, I’ll call you”? The Premier is big on truth telling these days so why not simply say bugger off?

And as for involving Ms Farmer, she has been a major part of the problem for years, having previously and disastrously held the “Youth” portfolio for three years.

To add insult to injury, in rode another champion of the little people, Police Minister Mark Ryan, who also contacted the victim.

So the victim’s humiliation included a “standard response” and empty apologies all around, and left half the Coffee Clutch

By SKINHEAD

Cabinet in a spin.

I wonder if the apology was signed “Sincerely not yours, Annastacia”.

Yes, it’s true

YOU might find this hard to believe but it’s true. A brand of button battery has been recalled because its packaging doesn’t contain the warning label stating, “Swallowing can lead to chemical burns, perforation of soft tissue, and death.”

Think about it. The ones most likely to swallow button batteries are too young to read so the warning doesn’t help them.

And if the parents or guardians are not bright enough to know batteries should not be swallowed, it should be a criminal offence to leave children in their care.

The packaging “warning” is just another nanny state arse-covering exercise. Maybe we should have warning signs on hot water taps saying “hot water is hot and can burn you” or “don’t sit on the stove top while cooking dinner”.

Techno dolt

MY self-admitted

classification as a technology idiot was further enhanced recently when I read two small stories and hardly understood a word.

One was headed “Phone virus alert” and said in part: “Android phones are being targeted in the attacks, with one malware strain being downloaded more than three million times already because it is an open-sourced operating system, meaning it can run any third-party app.”

The term “hold the phone” sprang to mind but I was more inclined to drop mine because I was scared of catching a virus, or a malware, or a third-party app that might steal my private information or, worse, my private parts.

The other story was headed “Device can read minds”. I immediately stopped thinking. My time on this earth would be very limited if some people knew what I really thought.

A WOMAN has the last word in any argument. Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.

Camera Trailer Trial targeting hoons

ANTI-HOONING camera trailers will be used as part of a trial police program targeting dangerous hooning behaviour in our communities.

The $6 million anti-hooning project includes the trial of dedicated anti-hooning camera trailers in Logan, Moreton and Townsville Police Districts.

The camera trailers will be equipped with high quality camera technology to record and capture hooning behaviour in real time.

The trailers will also be fitted with automatic numberplate recognition technology to detect stolen vehicles.

The three trailers will initially be rolled out as part of a trial with more to be built, pending the outcome of an evaluation.

Queensland now has a comprehensive suite of laws targeting hoon drivers, including impoundment or forfeiture of motor vehicles and deeming legislation, which puts the onus on the owner of a vehicle caught hooning to prove they weren’t the driver.

Police Minister Mark Ryan

said dangerous driving and hooning-related behaviour not only endangered the lives of those behind the wheel, but also put innocent members of the public at risk.

“Our message to anyone taking part in high-risk activities on our roads is that police will continue to target you, investigate your dangerous antics and take action against you,” Mr Ryan said.

“The majority of Queenslanders understand the importance of road safety, they observe the rules and are sick and tired of this kind of behaviour on our roads.”

Acting Assistant Police Commissioner Chris Stream said the anti-hoon trailers were one of several overt and covert strategies police across the state are employing to target hooning and in particular large-scale hooning events.

“Police will continue to conduct a variety of intelligencedriven enforcement patrols while also undertaking operations using the highdefinition camera trailers,” he said.

“We encourage members of the community to continue working with police and report hooning activity, either on our website or by calling 13 HOON.”

The cameras capture reckless hooning behaviour for police to use as evidence in court and assist in identifying all parties involved.

The new camera trailers complement Queensland’s tough hooning legislation which includes the strongest penalties in the nation.

The new cameras are an addition to the existing network of thousands of traffic cameras already in operation.

Driving in a way that makes unnecessary noise or smoke carries a maximum fine of $2,875 while the most serious offences, such as careless driving or driving without due care and attention—or street racing, results in a maximum fine of $5,750 or six months in jail.

In addition, drivers risk impoundment or forfeiture of their motor vehicle.

Fantastic family home!

A sea of red in aid of DV

THE crowd was out in force on a fine and clear day on Saturday May 20 for the annual Moreton Bay Red Ride, now in its third year.

AUCTION

More than 200 bikes were involved and there were 27 cars for the car show, including 17 from Beachmere Classic Vehicle Car Club.

With red being the theme colour, most bikers and bikes dressed in red while there were Red Ride flags, red tutus, red wigs, red onesies and even a red lady beetle.

Moreton Bay councillor and event founder Tony Latter partnered with the Rotary Club of Caboolture to deliver the event, which focused on fundraising and generating awareness about domestic violence (DV).

Cr Latter said this was an area that he was passionate about, “to as a community find a solution to domestic violence”.

“We need to make sure the community is talking about domestic violence, are aware of the impacts and step(s) they can take when they see it,” he said.

Rotary Club of Caboolture secretary Kathleen Finter said the day had a wonderful atmosphere and that the event went off without any issues, after being postponed due to rain in the past two years.

While this year’s event started and ended at the Caboolture Showgrounds, Ms Finter later said “things really got impressive” after arriving

in Redcliffe.

Ms Finter said organisers discovered the previous night that the Redcliffe esplanade would be closed from 7am for the night markets.

“One of our committee (people), Randal Macey, contacted Goodwill Markets and made arrangements for the road to be opened just for our bikers,” Ms Finter said.

“So the people sitting at the cafes along the waterfront were greeted by 200-plus bikes mostly dressed in red with Red Ride flags etc – it would have been an impressive sight.

“The bikes were then marshalled at Pelican Park and, with the help of a QPS (Queensland Police Service) officer, another sea of red procession across the Hornibrook Bridge.”

Ms Finter said about 60 percent of riders had participated in previous Red Rides, while “we certainly had

some newcomers”.

“Some riders advised that they saw the riders last year and wanted to join in this year,” she said.

“Riders were mainly from SEQ (south-east Queensland) – some from Toowoomba, Gold Coast, but one rider had travelled from Airlie Beach.”

Ms Finter said the fundraising figures were unknown but had exceeded last year’s figures.

“The Rotary Club of Caboolture would like to thank all our sponsors (too many to list individually) – the day would not be possible without them – especially Caboolture Sports Club and 101.5FM, but most importantly we would like to thank all the bike riders,” she said.

With next year’s ride scheduled for May 28, Cr Latter said, “We aim to grow Red Ride even bigger next year as more people take a stand to say domestic violence is not ok.”

Community welcome to celebrate Kilcoy Butchery re-opening

THE refurbishment of the long-established Kilcoy Butchery is now complete and will have a grand reopening from 10am to midday this Saturday.

Store manager Darren Ebert said the much-anticipated refurbishment of the Mary Street store would delight locals and visitors alike.

“We think the new store looks fantastic, it’s got a fresh new look which includes a new take on the historical brand and logo, and we now have a workplace which is

modern and safe for our team, suppliers and customers,” he said.

“There’s been a slight disruption as we had to close the business over the past few months while the works were underway, but it’s all done now and Saturday’s re-opening event will be a lot of fun.

“We’ll have a community BBQ from 10am til midday as well as an instore offer where we will give away two of our ‘Few and Far’ premium beef burgers for every $40 spent

instore.”

Darren said the butchery would look to increase its support of the local community, with a new program set to commence which would benefit groups and organisations in and around Kilcoy.

“The program will offer a fun and inclusive way for the locals to help Kilcoy Butchery give back to the Kilcoy community,” he said.

“More details on the program will be announced very soon.”

Playitt

WARMING up the atmosphere at Playitt on June 1 were band members Mike, Kev, Bill, Chas, Pete and Norm, offering vocal gems from Lloyd Price, Slim Dusty, Sam Cooke and Dire Straits, Don in the mix with Tom Jones and Merle Haggard memories, and Fay calling on Leanne Rimes and Nat “King” Cole.

Catherine chose the Bee Gees “Words” springing on us superb harmonies with Ricki. Pam and Frank shared a spot with Pam doing “Paper Moon” and Frank, the legend of “Tibrogargan”.

Jo chose The Beatles and Carole King; while a newcomer to the stage, named Wendy, did Patsy Cline proud with “Crazy”. Her Dad Allan, who has been here before, brought his trusty, tuneful harmonica to give us “Short’nin’ Bread” and the lovely “Skye Boat Song”.

Second half starter was Kiwi with “Now or Never” and I venture to say, never does he sound better than when he does his true Elvis stuff. Montana followed with Mickey Gilley and Brenda Lee favourites, then Ricki used material from The Platters and Renee Geyer.

Sylvie’s “Hotel California” blew us away again and Bill’s guitar solo on this number is nothing short of superb. Mick, who we haven’t seen for a while, brought his sister Minnie to accompany him on bass guitar with “Touch”, and Tony gave us a Luke Combs Number, “Kinda Love We Make”.

Jenny wanted to know “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow”, The Plumbdogs got the dancers on the move with “Satisfaction” and “Sweet Home Alabama”, and the House band rounded off the evening with “Peppermint Twist”, with Norm doing vocals.

Wildlife hospital urgently needed after another koala hit and killed

MORETON Bay marked World Environment Day on Monday by calling for government funding to help build a wildlife hospital in the region.

It’s estimated the facility could cost around $10 million to construct, with an ongoing annual operational expense of up to $5 million.

Moreton Bay Mayor Peter Flannery said the needless death of a koala on Gympie Road recently was a reminder of the clear and urgent need for a wildlife hospital here.

“There is currently no dedicated wildlife hospital between the RSPCA facility at Wacol and Australia Zoo at Beerwah,” Cr Flannery said.

“That means wildlife must travel up to two hours for emergency care, which risks them dying en route to help.

“Clearly this is a significant gap in the SEQ wildlife hospital network for injured wildlife.

“A facility here in Moreton Bay would reduce travel times for injured wildlife, it would also take pressure off carers who are already stretched by rising fuel and food costs. This all has a significant personal impact on carers and their mental health.

“In an ideal world everyone would be driving to the conditions, and we wouldn’t see koalas and other wildlife dying on our roads, but we need to

be realistic about this problem and pragmatic in our response.

“Currently the top cause for animals to be admitted to the SEQ wildlife network is being hit by a car, and koalas make up 11.4% of admissions.

“We are already in talks with key stakeholders including the Federal and State Governments, RSPCA, Australia Zoo, Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary,

the region’s wildlife rescue groups, the Moreton Bay Wildlife Hospital Foundation and private entrepreneurs seeking to support wildlife and koala rehabilitation on their property.

“All that’s missing is the financial support of government, as we search for a suitable property where the facility could be located.

“We’ve seen enormous success

with our land buyback program since it launched in 2020, purchasing nearly 100 hectares of land in Moreton Bay to protect the habitats of koalas and native wildlife from development.

“So I’m confident of finding a suitable location for a wildlife hospital here.

“The fact is we are doing everything we can to keep animals in our region

safe, but we can’t fence every road and we can’t physically force drivers to slow down.

“So what we need is a local facility to respond quickly when an animal is hit by a car in the hopes of increasing survival rates for injured wildlife, as well as complement the existing SEQ wildlife emergency network.”

Moreton Bay Wildlife Hospital Director Christine West said the wildlife hospital was an important step towards providing essential care and rehabilitation for injured wildlife in the region.

“However this is just the beginning,” she said.

“The loss of another wild koala in the Moreton Bay Region is significant and much work still needs to be done to protect and conserve our wildlife.

“We remain committed to expanding our efforts and working together with all levels of government to ensure a brighter future for our wildlife.”

Last year a group of dedicated volunteers established the ‘Moreton Bay Wildlife Hospital Foundation’ as a community-driven initiative, to raise the required funds.

The Foundation has applied for Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) status and is awaiting Federal Government endorsement.

Caboolture cricket celebrates

ABOUT 80 people flocked to the Caboolture Sports Cricket Club on the night of Saturday May 20, as the club marked 100 years.

Life members, past and present Caboolture cricketers and their families were among the attendees.

Moreton Bay Mayor Peter Flannery and State Member for Morayfield, Mark Ryan, were involved in the formalities,

century milestone

with the Morayfield Member presenting a framed photo of the first cricket match played by Caboolture in Caboolture.

The master of ceremonies (MC) was veteran sports reporter Robert ‘Crash’ Craddock who also interviewed the guests: former Queensland Bulls coach Terry Oliver, and Caboolture cricket stalwarts Bill Feldman and Cameron Garnham.

Snakes lose way after gaining early lead

A PROMISING start from the Caboolture Snakes was in vain last Saturday as they sank to another defeat in the Sunshine Coast Rugby Union (SCRU) season.

Caboolture’s 36-14 loss to the Caloundra Lighthouses at the Caboolture Rugby Union Club was Caboolture’s fourth consecutive defeat after starting the season with a 31-all draw.

The Snakes remained in sixth place on the seven-team ladder while the Lighthouses remained third.

For a while last Saturday it appeared the Snakes might turn a corner. They led 140, but reality kicked in as the Lighthouses scored five

unanswered tries to win comfortably.

Steve Panipasa scored Caboolture’s first try before teammate Will Tanzer scored the next five-pointer, and Jacob Prlja converted both.

But there was no further joy for the hosts, as the visitors gained the ascendancy.

Nakoa Marcroft and Keeghan Sefton scored a try each in a short space of time, before a try to Sanaila Rokonai gave the Lighthouses a 19-14 lead.

A penalty goal pushed Caloundra’s lead beyond a converted try, before a converted try to Logan Jones

extended the gap to 15 points.

Another converted try to the Lighthouses ensured there was no way back for the Snakes.

This Saturday the stakes will be high for the Snakes and the Maroochydore Swans, as both teams chase their first win of the season when they go headto-head on Maroochydore soil.

The reserve grade match at Maroochydore will feature a somewhat similar scenario to first grade, with the Swans reserve graders yet to win while the Snakes have won once.

Last Saturday was yet another occasion that the Snakes reserve graders went down narrowly.

The first-placed Caloundra reserve graders scored three tries to one in their 17-14 victory, as the home side’s tally was boosted by three penalty goals.

Caboolture’s women’s team, meanwhile, will seek to bounce back from last Saturday’s 2417 loss to the fourth-placed Caloundra which scored four tries to three.

The Snakes women remained in second place and will hope for stronger player numbers this weekend for their away match against a Swans outfit which is coming off its first win of the year: 39-0 against the lastplaced Wynnum.

Third-quarter onslaught dooms Lions

FIVE goals in a scintillating seven-minute period at Red Rooster Park last Saturday consigned the Moreton Bay Lions to another defeat in the Queensland Football Association (QFA) Div 1 HART Sport Cup.

The lowly-placed Lions fought hard to keep the score tight on home soil, before the second-placed Springwood Pumas achieved a convincing 16.14.110 to 10.7.67 victory on the back of a scoring blitz in the third quarter.

Full forward Rhys ‘The General’ Nickalls and captain Jono Giles were Moreton Bay’s only goal-kickers as they landed five majors each, while Springwood was best served by Finn Barnes with six goals and Jai Kennealy with five.

Sixteen-year-old Lions player Ollie Hewitt made his senior debut, having received a late call-up after Jordan Taglieri-Sclocchi failed a fitness test in the morning.

Springwood made a lively start, and led 2.4.16 to 1.2.8 at quarter-time before both sides were more combative in the second term.

The Lions kicked three goals to one in the second term, with Giles inspirational in the centre, racking up clearances at will to keep his team in the game.

Although the hosts hung

tough, the visitors would surely have built a strong lead had their kicking been more accurate.

The score was deadlocked at half-time as Moreton Bay had kicked 4.5.29 to Springwood’s 3.11.29, before a titanic struggle started to unfold in the third quarter. Amazingly, there were no behinds in this term.

The Pumas kicked three straight goals before a goal each to Giles and Nickalls trimmed Springwood’s lead to six points.

Moreton Bay’s comeback was short-lived as Springwood blew the game apart with five quick goals to gain an 11.11.77 to 6.5.41 lead at three-quarter time.

The young Lions simply had no answers, and they became virtual spectators as the Pumas took total control.

Lions coach David ‘Penguin’ Harding later said the sevenminute patch “really hurt us”.

“In the end it was the difference that enabled them (the Pumas) to win the game,” he said.

“Yes, we are young and rebuilding and this is when a developing team really learns the engrained teachings being built into them.

“From these hard knocks, the teachings begin to take root and grow.”

The momentum shifted repeatedly in the final term as a goal to each team was followed by two to Springwood, two to Moreton Bay, another two to Springwood, and one to Moreton Bay.

With the Lions also keeping the score close against ladder leader Coorparoo a week earlier before the top-placed team pulled ahead comfortably, Moreton Bay’s coach said last Saturday was “another game of what-ifs”.

“The lapses in concentration are really hurting us and this is when an experienced, well-drilled opponent like Springwood takes full advantage,” ‘Penguin’ said.

“The contest was very even for most of the day, which means we can hold our own against the best if we play four solid quarters of footy without the lapses.”

‘Penguin’ said another positive was Hewitt’s first senior game.

“Overall we are tracking well with our depth improving,” the coach said.

“Our development squad had another great win today and they are now guaranteed to play finals.

“Depth is the key going forward and this is only going to get better.”

In the development match,

The Caboolture cricket club’s president Steve Adams

Monday night darts in Caboolture

MATTHEW and John D took out top spot as 18 players including three newcomers played pot luck doubles in Monday night darts at Caboolture Social Darts Club.

Runners-up were Mark S and Chris H, with Mark S (180) and Matthew (140) also having the best scores.

Jenny twice scored 100, and Sherrie reached the figure once.

Garry, and 35 to Jenny.

Mark’s score of 100 was the best by a junior, and the best peg score by a junior was 40 by Chris K.

the score was extremely close at half-time before the hosts recorded a 37-point triumph.

Moreton Bay led 4.2.26 to 2.1.13 at the first break before Springwood kicked 3.1.19 to 1.2.8 in the second term.

The Lions kicked 4.5.29 while keeping their opponents scoreless in the third term, before Moreton Bay landed two majors to one in the final term to run out 11.9.75 to 6.2.38 victors.

Jack Connoley, Kobi Gallagher, Mitchell Tidball, Adam Barkla and Blair Surmon were among Moreton Bay’s goal-kickers.

This Saturday will be a battle of the cellar-dwellers in Div 1 when the Hinterland Blues host the Lions at Palmwoods.

With Moreton Bay secondlast and Hinterland in outright last place, a win to the Blues would relegate the Lions to the unwanted ladder position.

A win to the Lions would enable them to skip two games clear of the Blues, and almost ensure Hinterland finishes with the wooden spoon.

Moreton Bay overcame a determined Hinterland outfit when the teams met back on April 22, with the Lions scoring 12.12.84 to 10.6.66 after losing 13.14.92 to 8.14.62 against Springwood the previous Saturday.

Peg scores included 58 to Chris H, 50 to John D, Ian S and

Stanley River Wolves seek recovery

THE Stanley River Wolves rugby league reserve graders are poised to return to action this Sunday, after forfeiting their contest last Saturday due to a player shortage.

With work commitments and injuries taking a toll, the Wolves withdrew from their President’s Cup fixture with the Bribie Island Warrigals as no points were on offer in the round-robin competition.

The Warrigals consequently won the President’s Cup in reserve grade, as the day’s fixtures featured the top-two teams in each grade in the

Sunshine Coast Gympie Rugby League (SCGRL) competition.

A week earlier, Bribie inflicted Stanley River’s first defeat of the season as the Warrigals beat the Wolves 2610 at Bribie’s home ground. The second-placed Wolves are sweating on the availability of enough players for this Sunday, but it is expected that a team will line up against the Caloundra Sharks at Tinonee Oval.

In its most recent outing, the seventh-placed Caloundra went down 34-0 to the eighth-placed Caboolture.

Robert ‘Crash’ Craddock was the MC at the Caboolture Sports Cricket Club’s centenary function.

Celebratory items were on show for the Caboolture Sports Cricket Club’s centenary function.

Tullawong trio impresses at state hockey titles

TULLAWONG State High School trio Ethan Allinson, Cameron Allinson and Preston Stuart took part in the 13-19 years Queensland Representative School Sport (QRSS) Boys Hockey State Championships from May 18 to 21.

The Tullawong teens represented the Sunshine Coast ‘Doggies’ while other teams came from Peninsular (Cairns), Northern (Townsville), Capricornia (Mackay/ Rockhampton), Wide Bay (Bundaberg/Maryborough), Darling Downs (Toowoomba/ Warwick), Metropolitan North (North Brisbane), Metropolitan East (Cleveland), Metropolitan West (Ipswich) and South Coast (Gold Coast).

Metropolitan East was the host team, as the games were played outdoors at the State Hockey Centre in the Brisbane suburb of Colmslie.

With Ethan in year 12, Cameron in year 8 and Preston in year 10, the Tullawong teens were among 30 players at district trials at Buderim in early March to compete for spots in the 15-player Doggies team.

The 30 players at the trials came from places including Buderim, Caboolture, Redcliffe, Caloundra, Maroochydore, Nambour and Noosa.

The Doggies began with

a 1-all draw against South Coast, and followed up with a 1-0 win over Northern, a 3-0 loss to Wide Bay, a 4-2 loss to Darling Downs, a 1-0 loss to Metropolitan West, and a 4-3 win over Metropolitan North.

The ninth placing did not reflect how competitive the Doggies were, and their second victory came after they trailed 3-1 at half-time.

Darling Downs won the 1319 boys division, with Wide Bay the runner-up.

The Allinson brothers played as defenders while Preston had a striker position, and the latter scored the first goal of the tournament for the Sunshine Coast team.

Ethan and Cameron saved many base-line goals, and stopped the opposition advancing into the circle.

Ethan’s and Cameron’s mum Leanne said the three Tullawong teens were happy and confident with their success on the field.

“Day one through to day four, each of the boys showed strong resilience and respect for the game,” she said.

“Each of the boys were complimented on their game play, outstanding sportsmanship and skill set on the field by their teammates, sports officials and spectators at the event.”

The 13-year-old Cameron, who also plays for the

Maroochydore and Redcliffe hockey clubs, was the youngest player in the Sunshine Coast 13-19 team.

It was Cameron’s second year of representing the Sunshine Coast in this age group.

A former Queensland 10-12 years School Boys Hockey Queensland representative (although covid prevented him going to the Nationals), Cameron represented Queensland at U13 level in last year’s Nationals in Hobart.

In the next two years, Cameron will be eligible for the U16 Queensland school representative team to play at the Nationals.

Ethan, who also plays for the Maroochydore and Redcliffe hockey clubs, has represented the Sunshine Coast for the past five years. This year was his final opportunity to play schoolboys hockey, due to graduating from high school at the end of this year.

A former captain of the team, Ethan was also the coach’s player of the tournament in 2021 and 2022, and is also a former Queensland U16 squad development recipient.

Preston, meanwhile, joined the Sunshine Coast 13-19 team for the first time this year.

At club level, Preston plays for the Nambour Blue Demons and Valleys.

Snakes women outgunned in President’s Cup clash

THE Kawana Dolphins were too good for the Caboolture Snakes in the women’s rugby league clash at the Nambour Showgrounds last Saturday, as the Dolphins prevailed 28-12.

Kawana consequently won the President’s Cup in the women’s division, as the first- and second-placed teams squared off in each division

while there were no premiership points on offer.

The Dolphins gained the upper hand as they scored four unanswered tries to lead 18-0, and the margin would have been greater had the goalkicking been more accurate.

Matyniah Fullagar scored Caboolture’s first try, and then the pendulum briefly went back and forth as Kawana moved

to a 22-8 lead, with Tarnee Evans scoring Caboolture’s second try.

A converted try to Ellie Williamson gave Kawana a 20-point lead, before Emma Law scored a consolation fourpointer for the Snakes.

The Snakes women have a bye this weekend, before returning to action on June 17.

Snakes ready to return

THE Caboolture Snakes are set to return to action in the Sunshine Coast Gympie Rugby League (SCGRL) season this Saturday night with an away game against the Maroochydore Swans.

Caboolture sank to the bottom of the eight-team competition during the previous round, before the teams from third place through to last place had a bye last weekend while the top-two teams faced off in the President’s Cup.

Caboolture’s 32-28 loss to Noosa two Saturdays ago was a tough pill to swallow after the Snakes led 24-6 at half-time.

But with the bottom-placed Snakes still only one win behind the equal-fourth teams,

coach Mitch Buckett said the Snakes definitely had their sights on finals football.

“It’s just getting a solid 80 minutes in and a consistent team,” he said.

“We have had multiple different players over the past six weeks due to injuries.

“Hopefully we can get a consistent team on the park and make a charge for the finals.”

Buckett said there was “not particularly” any review during last weekend’s break.

“The players have identified it’s an attitude-based issue,” he said.

“When we are focused, we are challenging every team.

“It’s just (a matter of) staying focused for the full 80

Lions women revert to winning form

THE Moreton Bay Lions

Div 1 women’s AFL team bounced back from its first defeat of the season as the Lions comfortably defeated the Robina Kangaroos at the Gold Coast last Saturday.

Goals in quick succession to Taylor McCosker and another 17-year-old speedster, Charis Tarr, were complemented in the dying seconds by a goal to stalwart Shauna Ridge.

senior footy.

minutes.”

Maroochydore’s A graders are just two points ahead of Caboolture on the ladder, with the Swans having come from behind to beat the Snakes 30-26 back on April 1.

Following two hefty defeats in the first half of May, Maroochydore had a more respectable 42-32 loss to Noosa before upsetting the then second-placed and now third-placed Nambour 20-14.

In this Saturday’s reserve grade clash at Maroochydore, the Snakes will contest Nambour.

Caboolture’s U19s meanwhile trek to the Kawana Sports Precinct for their game against the Dolphins.

Despite an early setback, the second-placed Lions recorded a decisive 46-point win over the lowly-placed Kangaroos.

Moreton Bay coach Shane Dawes said the Lions “were determined to start well and get back on to the winners’ list” after their 11-point defeat against the unbeaten Morningside a week earlier.

Robina opened the scoring during a torrid opening fiveminute period, but soon the Lions took control with good teamplay, precise ball movement and good finishing in front of the big sticks.

Seventeen-year-old Chantelle ‘Shobie’ Page landed Moreton Bay’s first two majors, and her ability to fly for marks against more experienced girls was a highlight.

It was Ridge’s first goal in the senior women’s grade, as she played in an uncustomary position of deep forward.

Leading 5.1.31 to 1.1.7 at quarter-time, the Lions looked ready to blow the game apart in the second term.

Mackenzie Brinin, who had been moved forward, took a strong grab and sent a long bomb home.

This was followed by a clever snap from Lions captain Jess Davy, before the Kangaroos responded with a goal.

Despite their dominance, the Lions mustered only two goals from eight scoring shots in the second term.

The inaccuracy continued in the second half, with the only goal from either side being ‘Shobie’ Page’s third; a terrific effort in only her tenth game of

The Kangaroos had clogged the game up, pushing all of their players into Moreton Bay’s forward line which made it difficult to score and caused the game to become a less than attractive spectacle.

Overall, a good team performance from the Lions enabled them to win 8.12.60 to 2.2.14.

Dawes rated McCosker, ‘Shobie’ Page, Chantelle Page, Mackenzie Brinin, Issie Litchfield and Jo Tuza as Moreton Bay’s best performers on the day.

As Robina forfeited the reserves game, the Lions development team won a practice game by three goals against the Sandgate Hawks. Moreton Bay will trek to Redcliffe this Saturday for an eagerly anticipated clash with local rivals the Redcliffe Tigers.

Wolves receive more than $200K to improve facilities

THE Stanley River rugby league club recently received $203,575 as part of the Minor Infrastructure Program, through the Department of Tourism, Innovation and Sport (DTIS).

State Member for Glass House, Andrew Powell, presented the cheque to the Wolves rugby league club’s president Mary-Anne Hallam at the clubhouse on Friday, May 26.

Mrs Hallam wrote the grant application with assistance from Moreton Bay Regional Council’s (MBRC) sport and recreation team, and Queensland Rugby League (QRL) area managers Sarah Bax and Nathan McLean.

Mrs Hallam said the $203,575 would be put with a co-contribution of $10,000 from the QRL and another successful grant application of $28,424 from a MBRC Minor Infrastructure Co-contribution grant.

“We are extending the veranda out to the front of the clubhouse to give spectators full view of both fields,” she said.

“Underneath the new veranda will be two new dressing rooms.

“While dressing rooms will

be multi-purpose, providing female-friendly facilities including safe spaces to change and prepare for games is a service gap, and one that our club and (the) QRL wanted

to fix.

“With player registration growth of 15-20 percent this season alone, this grant will ensure that much-needed

facility upgrades are undertaken which will in turn assist club representatives in delivering high quality programs and services in partnership with other sporting groups and

bodies.

“It will allow volunteers to conduct activities within an appropriately equipped, safe and compliant environment.”

Mrs Hallam said the addition of the veranda would also provide a compliant space for the videographer to set up and film U16 to senior matches as per league requirements, while there were currently no elevated places with views to the entire playing surface to film from.

“This is a critical safety matter for the club, SCJRL (Sunshine Coast Junior Rugby League), SCGRL (Sunshine Coast Gympie Rugby League) and QRL (for game control, monitoring incident reporting),” she said.

“As everyone is well aware, the grounds and facility are affected by flood events, and the proposed facility will meet a gap in providing a high space for storage as well as flood resilient change rooms.”

The Wolves president said the club was lucky enough to secure funding last year from DTIS, The Gambling Community Benefit Fund and MBRC for an upgrade to field lighting.

Mrs Hallam said the Wolves hoped to finalise this project in coming months before moving on to the clubhouse project during the off-season.

“Exciting times ahead for the Wolfpack,” Mrs Hallam enthused.
