Renovations to commence Major $3 million renovations will soon begin at the Stanthorpe Plaza, with existing tenants to vacate by the end of next week. Over a period of five months, the Plaza’s carpark, entrance, amenities, Woolworths and specialty shops will get a complete makeover.

It is expected there will be eight new shops available for lease when renovations are complete.

Dam progresses

By Jess Baker The Granite Belt Irrigation Project (GBIP) has reached a crucial milestone, says Granite Belt Water CEO Lloyd Taylor.

Pipeline construction tenders are scheduled to be released at the end of the month, on 30 April, with dam construction tenders to open shortly afterward, on 18 May. “250 jobs are expected to be created in con-

struction and a significant proportion of those will be local,” said Mr Taylor.

“Over 18 separate groups are interested already … all tier two contractors.”

The GBIP commenced pre-construction works in April 2020 – thanks to an accumulative $12 million investment from the Queensland and federal governments – and is now working towards obtaining the approvals necessary to begin construction.

Mr Taylor said construction of the proposed 12,000 megalitre dam at Emu Swamp, southwest of Stanthorpe, and the 117 kilometre pipe network should take two years, in which time Granite Belt Water must acquire 3900 megalitres of water allocations.

At this time, the only allocation Granite Belt Water has acquired is a 1740 megalitre parcel provided by the state government. An additional 450 megalitre allocation could possibly

come from Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC), dependent on a number of caveats being satisfied.

If SDRC does decide to sell part of its allocation from Storm King Dam to Granite Belt Water, it is important the water is sold at market value so ratepayers are not unnecessarily burdened.

From tomorrow - Friday 16 April - and across the weekend the beautiful St Mark’s Anglican Church will be the base for the 2021 Southern Downs Heritage Festival. Here’s what you need to know about this colourful and historical event ...

St Mark’s Heritage Festivals have been held since 2015 (in the lead up to the 150th celebrations in 2018) as part of the National Trust Qld.’s Australian Heritage Festival and until 2019, the Southern Downs Heritage Festival.

Over the years, many locals as well as interstate, national and international visitors have appreciated the opportunity to find out more about the Church sitting in its prominent position on Albion and Grafton Streets and its early regional settler founders - many names seen in Warwick’s streets evoke these connections: e.g Pratten, Marshall, Clark, Glennie, Spreadborough, Creed, Morgan etc.

Foundation events have included guided tours of the 1868 State heritage listed Church by long-term Parishioners telling the story of the architecture, stained glass windows and other memorials including the organ and marble plaques.

Unusual features that generate much interest are the Chime of Bells and the Columbarium.

Special feature events have included a Cooking & Curiosities Sale, Organ recital, Maypole demonstrations, Music on May Day Concert and Strolling Minstrels.

In 2021 (having had to cancel 2020) the special events are a Display of Quilts - Susan will advise the number on display - (a heritage craft) and as a great finale to the weekend, a concert by the Brisbane Baroque Players on their period instruments and with two guest sopranos.

It has been wonderful to see a whole plethora of events happening across the Southern Downs and Granite Belt in recent weeks and months, and such a contrast to this same period last year when everything was being cancelled left, right and centre.

A good example of this is the Southern Downs Heritage Festival this weekend - starting Friday - to be based at the beautiful and historic St Mark’s Anglican Church in Warwick. Our towns are full of heritage icons of not only local but state and national significance, something that we living locally I think sometimes take a little for granted.

This weekend there is also polocrosse at Morgan Park plus a whole range of other community events both large and small. And coming up over the next few months we have Jumpers and Jazz in July, Snowflakes in Stanthorpe and the 2021 Leyburn Sprints - look out for more in these pages to come.

All of these events bring large numbers of visitors into our region and not only do they spend substantial amounts of money while they’re here - bolstering our local businesses and economy - they take away with them a favourable impression of the Warwick and Stanthorpe regions. Indeed, it’s sometimes as the result of a one-off, even spur of the moment visit here that they decide to relocate from the urban centres in search of the better lifestyle and more affordable cost of living we have to offer them.

As of the date of this publication the temporary Covid mask-wearing requirements in Queensland were due to come to an end, but of course that in itself may only be temporary as it seems clear that despite the rollout of vaccinations nationally we still do not have a true handle on this pandemic. One wonders if we ever will. Fortunately however the situation does not mean that local events have to be called off and the social and economic life of our communities disrupted to the extent we saw last year.

On a separate note we are coming up to Anzac Day 2021 - likewise keep an eye out in these pages for more next week, including details of service times across the region. Our local RSL Sub-Branches are doing a tremendous job in making preparations for Anzac Day events in our local towns and villages.

I am sure I am not alone in making the observation that attendances at Anzac Day commemorations both here and elsewhere over the last decade and more have grown exponentially. Particularly noteworthy is the clear increase in the numbers of young people - including primary and pre-school aged children - at such ceremonies.

Mural tribute to our firies

By Jess Baker A meaningful mural has been added to the side of the Stanthorpe Fire and Rescue Station, depicting QFES members from across the region.

The piece, by artist Drapl (Travis Vinson), was commissioned by the Stanthorpe Regional Art Gallery and Southern Downs Regional Council.

Stanthorpe Regional Art Gallery director Mary Findlay said the mural is an acknowledgement of the region’s hardworking QFES members and a symbol of cohesion between services.

Included in the mural is Reece LancasterKelly from the Fire and Rescue Service, Liz Thompson from the Rural Fire Service and Michael Bell from the State Emergency Service.

Reece said it is an honour to be part of the Fire and Rescue Service and to be represented in the mural.

“It’s a privilege to serve the community … being a firefighter was my childhood dream,” he said.

“It’s something I’ve always wanted to do but I never had the time.”

Reece joined the QFES three years ago, when he moved to Stanthorpe from Brisbane with his family. The Stanthorpe Fire and Rescue crew is made up of 13 auxiliary firefighters, and Reece said all are fiercely committed to their jobs.

“Everyone has the work they do outside of QFES, but when a call comes through every-

Reece Lancaster-Kelly from Stanthorpe’s Fire and Rescue Service. one drops their tools and comes running,” he said.

“We’re on call 24/7, 365 (days). We have a commitment to the community to be on the road within seven minutes of a call, but we’re usually on the road within five.”

Reece said in his three years of service, his

most mentally and physically demanding experience was during 2019-20 bushfires.

“It was a pretty intense and scary time … everyone gave 110 percent. We really rely on and encourage each other here,” he said.

“The fires got really close to homes and we managed to fight them off but it was tough.”

Reece said the mural represents the three services that fall under QFES, all of which play a crucial role in keeping the community safe.

“The Rurals and SES work tirelessly, and we all work together really well. Where one of us might be lacking, another will be strong,” he said.

Multi-million dollar Plaza renovations to begin soon

By Jess Baker $3 million carpark and building renovations will soon begin at the Stanthorpe Plaza, with existing tenants to vacate the centre by the end of next week.

Five ‘specialty shop’ tenants – including Mega Movie Sale, SLAPS Coffee House Cafe and Dep’s Nails – have left the centre since renovations were first announced in November, but three – including the Stanthorpe Plaza Newsagency, Millers and Studs ‘N’ Stuff Piercing and Beauty – remain.

Mark Long of Allure Retail, the retail leasing business handling the renovations, said the renovations are expected to take five months and will commence as soon as possible.

Woolworths, the Plaza’s “anchor tenant”, will continue to trade throughout the project while it undergoes expansion and refurbishment.

“The owner (of the Plaza) is working with Woolworths to deliver the renovations,” said Mr Long.

The new Stanthorpe Plaza is set to be 3500 square metres in size with eight specialty shops – all of which will be available for lease.

“The external walls (of the centre) will stay the same, we’re just demolishing everything inside,” said Mr Long.

“There will be new floors, new ceilings, new toilets, a new Woolworths and new shops. The carpark is also getting redone and shade sails will be installed.”

Mr Long said there are leasing opportunities available for food and service providers, including for beauty and cosmetic services, clothing stores, cafes, and takeaway food providers.

Picture: SUPPLIED

The redevelopment will also see a new entrance, new shopfronts and signage added to the Plaza to create a “natural, modern aesthetic”.

The Stanthorpe community has long been crying out for renovations at the Plaza, but controversy has come from the way they have been introduced.

Some existing and former tenants of the

Plaza have said they are disappointed in the lack of communication from the centre owner and those acting on the owner’s behalf.

Mr Long said tenants were told in November that the owner of the Plaza was “committed to getting the renovations delivered” and there would be a place for them at the centre should they choose to return postrenovations.

“We have given existing tenants an opportunity to come back after renovations but they haven’t responded,” he said.

Warwick and Stanthorpe Today reported last month that some Plaza tenants have decided to permanently relocate to an alternate location – most to Main Street – after receiving notice of impending rent increases.

When asked if rents would increase at the centre following renovations, Mr Long said it is important to think of the refurbished centre as a new centre – with new rents.

“Our rents will be in line with the market,” he said.

At this point in time, Woolworths is the only tenant that will remain at the Plaza postrenovations.

Mr Long said he encourages businesses interested in securing a shop at the new Plaza to contact him on 0407 781 157 or by email at mark@allureretail.com.au.

The Southern Downs Regional Council says “improving roads and infrastructure across the region remains a steadfast commitment from SDRC and Council wishes to advise the community that works will commence at the Warwick Aerodrome access road this Monday 19 April 2021”.

“Works, which will affect the Massie-Bony Mountain Road, will improve visitor access to the Warwick Aerodrome and are anticipated to take approximately ten weeks,” a spokeswoman said.

“Residents in the area will still have access to and from their properties.

“Council staff will endeavour to minimise disruptions for road users and we appreciate the community’s cooperation and patience during construction.

Dam tender release due

By Jess Baker Construction tenders for the Granite Belt Irrigation Project (GBIP) will be released in the coming weeks – almost one year later than planned.

Works are to be split into two packages, with tenders for construction of the pipeline set to open on 30 April and tenders for construction of Emu Swamp Dam set to open on 18 May. GBIP CEO Lloyd Taylor said the company’s plans to open tenders represent a milestone for the project and for the Southern Downs community.

“250 jobs are expected to be created in construction and a significant proportion of those will be local,” he said.

“Over 18 separate groups are interested already … all tier two contractors.”

The project aims to provide the Granite Belt with a reliable new water storage and irrigation facility by 2023, with “flow-on effects” to include the creation of 700 new full-time agriculture sector jobs and an annual $68 million boost to the value of gross agricultural production.

GBIP strategic adviser Brent Finlay said the project might appear to be slow-moving, having been in the works for 40 years, but it has achieved a feat.

“This is the most advanced water project that’s on the mainland in Australia,” he said.

“There are a lot of projects watching this project.”

The GBIP commenced pre-construction activities in April 2020 and is currently focused on confirming contracts with irrigators, negotiating with landholders and obtaining the approvals necessary to begin construction.

Mr Taylor said he believes the project is now “close to a third of the way through”.

“Both the Queensland and federal governments have been very good with getting us to the point where we can go to tender,” he said.

“They have each given us $6 million which has allowed for pre-construction work.

“Currently, the Australian government is scheduled to invest $47 million, the state $13.6 million and local customers $23.4 million.”

Minister for Water Glenn Butcher said the Queensland Government’s advance of $6 million from its $13.6 million commitment was necessary to “fast-track” the Emu Swamp Dam project.

“We are committed to working with Granite Belt Water to help them get to the position where a decision can be made about construction,” said Minister Butcher.

The Queensland Government has also committed to facilitating the allocation of 1740 megalitres of water to proponent Granite Belt Water from the Border Rivers and Moonie water plan – an allocation that was always intended for a water infrastructure project such as the GBIP. At this stage, the 1740 megalitre allocation is the only water allocation Granite Belt Water has acquired. Given the project seeks to deliver 3900 megalitres of water per year to its 51 agribusiness customers, Granite Belt Water must find and acquire an additional 2160

Granite Belt Irrigation Project CEO Lloyd Taylor. megalitres of allocations.

In December 2020, Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) committed to selling – or leasing – 450 megalitres of its water allocation from Storm King Dam to Granite Belt Water, conditional on a number of requirements being met.

The Queensland Government has since expressed concerns about some of the caveats SDRC wants satisfied before it agrees to sell its allocation to Granite Belt Water.

In a letter tabled in yesterday’s ordinary council meeting, Deputy Director-General of Water Linda Dobe recommended SDRC “consider re-wording some of the resolutions to consider timing requirements of the project and/or instead consider inclusion of these conditions in any agreement for the future transfer of water entitlements to Granite Belt Water Limited”.

“It should be noted that while the resolutions and associated conditions are understandable, some are likely to impact the ability of the project to meet various conditions required to access State and/or Commonwealth funding and therefore will impact the progression of the project,” she wrote.

“Of note are the conditions that council requires the project to meet prior to entering agreement to sell 450 megalitres of the water allocation from Storm King Dam to (Granite Belt Water) for Emu Swamp Dam. “Due to the nature of the project and the sequencing and timing of certain tasks, the caveats outlined by council are unlikely to be met prior to pre-construction milestones being finalised.”

Some of the prerequisites for sale of the 450 megalitre allocation set by SDRC include ensuring: SDRC is “in a no worse off position than under its current water supply arrangements”, the overall risk allocation in the Water

Sale Deed and the Water Supply Deed is acceptable to SDRC, and Granite Belt Water has obtained sufficient water entitlements from third parties to enable the Emu Swamp Dam “to viably proceed”.

Should SDRC decide to sacrifice these resolutions to allow the GBIP to move more quickly, it could be putting itself – and ratepayers – at risk.

According to a Waterfind Water Valuation Report prepared for SDRC at its request, the 450 megalitre water allocation is valued somewhere between $1,125,000 ($2500 per megalitre) and $1,530,675 ($3401.50 per megalitre).

SDRC, if it decides to buy into the GBIP, will be paying $6000 per megalitre for 585 megalitres – a total $3.51 million. GBIP CEO Mr Taylor said participants’ buy-ins to the scheme include a contribution to the capital cost of building the dam and water distribution infrastructure as well as the cost of individual water allocations.

Maryanne Slattery, a director of water consultancy firm Slattery and Johnson, said the stark difference between the value of SDRC’s 450 megalitre allocation – according to Waterfind – and the cost of the 585 megalitre Emu Swamp Dam allocation is concerning.

“It doesn’t make sense to sell water at a price lower than what they’re purchasing it for,” said Ms Slattery.

“Council is shifting the cost of the dam from the company (Granite Belt Water) to ratepayers by selling (its 450 megalitre allocation) cheaply.”

Ms Slattery said the value of SDRC’s 450 megalitre water allocation should be much higher than that stated in Waterfind’s Water Valuation Report.

“The Commonwealth has placed quite a premium on large parcels of water,” she said.

“Under the Murray-Darling Basin Plan, the

Commonwealth has targets for recovering water and returning it to the environment … they’ve been finding it difficult to meet those targets.”

If the sale of the 450 megalitre allocation to Granite Belt Water proceeds, the company will still have 1170 megalitres of water allocations left to acquire.

“The remaining allocations have got to be from within the Stanthorpe management area.

I don’t believe there’s an issue there,” said GBIP CEO Mr Taylor.

“Ultimately, by the time we finish construction, we need to have all of the water allocations available … so there is a significant period of time available to us to find those water allocations.”

Mr Taylor said construction of the proposed 12,000 megalitre dam at Emu Swamp and the 117 kilometre pipe network should take two years, which will give Granite Belt Water ample time to source remaining allocations.

According to the Queensland Government, the timeline for acquiring these water entitlements may not be so lenient.

“Before the project can proceed to construction Granite Belt Water needs to demonstrate to the Queensland Government that they are able to acquire sufficient water entitlements for the project,” said a spokesperson for the Department of Regional Development, Manufacturing and Water.

“However the proponent is not required to have finalised all purchases of entitlements before construction commences.”

Mr Taylor and Mr Finlay said questions about Granite Belt Water and the GBIP are welcomed and encouraged, and can be directed to info@granitebeltirrigationproject.com.au.

Avon ‘Karara’s Heroine’...

A young woman from Karara, Queensland, who died over 100 years ago lies at rest in a quiet section of the British war cemetery in Cairo, Egypt. What is so unique about this, is that she is the only female in this section buried among the many soldiers of the 1st Australian Imperial Force who made the supreme sacrifice at Gallipoli. She wore a Red Cross uniform and she died as bravely as any soldier buried there.

Her headstone reads: ‘Avon Emily Costello 16th March 1919 Aged 28 Died serving her country with the Australian Red Cross’ Avon Emilie Allan was born on 20th September 1890 at Bombala in New South Wales, the eldest of 8 siblings from the marriage of Mary and James Allan, who had moved from Bombala to Karara to run the sheep property of “Strathyre” Karara. It is unclear where Avon received her education, possibly by a Governess which was what many children received prior to the Education Act in Queensland.

Avon was an attractive young woman who fell I love with a dashing Lieutenant from the 11th Light Horse Regiment named Edward Costello and, with the war clouds gathering over Europe, they were married on 21st April 1915, in Brisbane. Edward was called into the First Australian Imperial Force, to embark in June 1915 for the Middle East. Avon was taken back to the Costello home at “Seagoe” where she remained for 3 years while Edward fought in the desert campaigns attaining the rank of Major and being awarded the Distinguished Service Order after the decisive Battle of Semakh in 1917.

For the next 3 years, Avon busied herself in the Costello household and endeared herself to one and all, as well as getting heavily involved in the war effort with fund raising and as secretary of the Thane’s Creek Australian Comforts Fund and other like organisations. Her coworkers described her as “someone who loved life, always busy, always bright. Unfailingly

Avon Emily Costello - forever a heroine ... cheerful and optimistic and one who could exceed in extracting the sweets of living from ordinary everyday life”. Although she pined for Edward as they hardly had a honeymoon before he was called to serve, her life brightened when she received a letter from Edward telling her that he had secured a passage for her to Egypt so Avon, unaware of the dangers of living in a war zone, immediately made efforts to procure a passport and eventually sailed from Brisbane to Egypt in July 1918.

Avon arrived in Cairo in August 1918 and spent many happy hours touring the many historic sights with Edward, whenever he could obtain a release from his military duties.

To Avon, this was a happy time in her young life but, with Edward away on duty, she had offered her services to the Red Cross Society as

soon as she had settled in Heliopolis. She was attached to No 14 Australian General Hospital where she worked with the soldiers in the wards. The Australian Red Cross Commissioner for Egypt recorded that. “Mrs Costello was a cheerful, willing and able worker and took charge of all departments of our hospital while their responsible Heads were indisposed, or were on leave”. When off duty, Avon went on tours of the Holy Lands with Edward whenever he could obtain leave. Life was going very well for Avon as she loved working with the soldiers and, it was while Edward was in Syria fighting a war, that tragedy struck in March 1919. An outbreak of the dreaded Smallpox disease broke out in the 14th Australian General Hospital.

One of the 8 patients affected included Avon and she was moved to the Infectious Diseases Hospital at Abbassia, Egypt. Avon was nursed by two heroic staff nurses, Elizabeth Stephens and Lillian Alton, who risked their own health, to volunteer to nurse their friend. Sadly, she passed away on 16th March 1919 with her loving husband Edward, who had rushed from distant military duties in Syria to be by her side for her final 3 days.

That very afternoon, Avon Costello was laid to rest in the small British War Cemetery in Cairo among the many courageous Australian and British soldiers buried there. Her funeral was attended by Edward and a small number of her friends. When the devastating news of Avon’s death reached her family at Karara, the grieving families of both Edward and Avon attended a Memorial service conducted by the Warwick Presbyterian minister, the Rev. W. Parton Shinton. It was held in the Presbyterian Church at Thane’s Creek attended by a large gathering of family and friends. He lamented: “We can only think with deep sorrow of the husband so tragically left alone in Egypt, of the parents of both and relatives bereaved, and of the wide circle of friends who mourn the loss of one who was the embodiment of a life that pulsated with youth, energy and the joy of living. The war has produced many tragedies.

This, surely is one of them!”

It was a tragedy that an Australian, who died in the service of their country, had to be interred so far away from home and family.

Avon Costello died as a result of her duties as a popular Red Cross volunteer. An accolade for her devotion to her patients is in the Commemorative Roll book, at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra, which recognises the names of those Australians who died during, or as a result of wars in which Australia served.

Avon’s sacrifice will be recognised with a plaque adjacent to the Rolls of Honour in her home village of Karara. She was undoubtedly a woman of extreme bravery to enter a war zone and work among the sick and injured. She did this for the love of her husband Edward and for the benefits, comfort and support, she gave to those brave ANZACs in the hospital in Cairo.

For her service to her country, she should never be forgotten as she lies interred among the soldiers to whom she gave so much help.

She is truly entitled to be remembered as the heroine of Karara.

At 11 am on Saturday 24th April, the community of Karara will honour Avon with a memorial plaque in the Karara Hall.

The descendants of Avon will be attending and the Hall Committee extend an invitation to attend and will serve refreshments.

Landfills are set to close

By Jess Baker With the region’s landfills nearing capacity, now is a critical time for Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) to consider its next step in waste management.

According to SDRC’s newly released draft Waste Reduction and Recycling Plan 2021-24, SDRC-operated landfill sites at both Stanthorpe and Yangan are scheduled to close shortly.

The Stanthorpe landfill is expected to close this year, due to the landfill reaching economic capacity, and will be redeveloped into a transfer station with all waste to be transported to Warwick for processing and landfilling.

The Yangan landfill will close in June 2024, due to “the requirements to install a weighbridge in accordance with the State Waste Levy legislation” and will also likely become a transfer station with all waste to be transported to Warwick.

Thus, the Warwick landfill will become the sole landfill for the Southern Downs region.

SDRC has plans to develop a new landfill cell at the Warwick site this year, which should extend the life of the landfill by an additional five and a half years.

“Landfill disposal capacity for the region is secure until at least 2030-31, however additional landfill cells can be developed at the Warwick landfill,” reads the draft strategy document.

“Critical for Council will be deciding whether it is more economical and environmentally sustainable to continue to develop the Warwick landfill, develop a new landfill for the region or transport waste out of the region to existing landfills.”

According to the draft Waste Plan, planning for a solution must be completed by 2023 to ensure it is effective by 2030-31.

SDRC would like the solution to be in line with the Queensland waste targets detailed in the Queensland Government Waste Manage-

SDRC’s draft Waste Reduction and Recycling Plan 2021-2024 is open for public consultation until Tuesday 27 April. ment and Resource Recovery Strategy.

These include: a decrease in the amount of waste disposed of to landfill from an overall 35 percent in 2025 to 10 percent in 2050 and an increase in the overall recycling rate from 60 percent in 2025 to 75 percent in 2050.

The draft strategy includes five “strategic themes” that will provide a framework for SDRC to later develop into actionable items for achieving its goals.

The first “theme” SDRC has chosen to focus on is ensuring its operations are always compliant and the environmental risks of its operations are well-managed.

In the draft plan, SDRC has also committed to ensuring its operations are financially sustainable.

“To support financial sustainability of waste

operations, this Council is focused on understanding the full cost of service delivery and making decisions that are in the best interest of the community,” reads the draft Waste Plan.

SDRC would also like to review and refine its current waste infrastructure network and aims to deliver a more effective, efficient and compliant waste collection service to residents by expanding the domestic kerbside waste collection area to approximately 1000 additional properties.

Finally, SDRC has pledged to focus on developing local reuse and recycling solutions, which should in turn support job creation in the region and extend the life of the Warwick landfill.

To meet these goals by 2024, SDRC must execute the 55 strategic actions outlined in the Waste Plan – including equalising the waste

utility charge for kerbside collection between the region’s northern and southern collection areas, reviewing alternative waste technology, and pursuing promotional opportunities to convey waste management messages.

SDRC has opened public consultation on the Waste Plan until Tuesday 27 April 2021 and the community is encouraged to provide feedback. It has been proposed by Council that this draft plan will replace the current plan, which was developed and approved in 2018.

Residents can view a copy of the draft Waste Plan on Council’s website and feedback can be submitted by email to mail@sdrc.qld.gov. au with the subject: WRRP Submission. Alternatively, submissions can be made in writing addressed to the Chief Executive Officer, Southern Downs Regional Council, PO Box 26, Warwick, Qld, 4370.

Region a top tourist spot

By Jess Baker A popular new podcast series will showcase the Southern Downs and Granite Belt as one of the state’s ultimate travel destinations.

Released last month, Queensland Adventures is promoted as being “a go-to guide for road-trippers, travellers and anyone planning to explore the great Australian state of Queensland”.

It aims to share secret spots to eat, drink and explore within the state, through the lens of locals.

The four-episode Southern Downs series was written, produced and presented by multi-award winning journalist Sally Eeles, brought to air by Grizzly Bear Media, editor Marc Wright and artist Luke Seib.

It identifies some of the region’s key attractions and businesses, focusing specifically on: Sights and Scenery, Food Glorious Food, Active Adventures and Culture and Heritage.

Sally Eeles said she hopes the podcasts make people feel as if they know the region and the people who make it so special.

“It’s one thing to arrive in a place and be able to read the guidebooks … but it’s another thing to listen to the stories of the people who live here and love this area,” she said.

The podcasts feature some very familiar voices, including Sue and Tony Hoopmann from Killarney’s Adjinbilly Rainforest Retreat, Fran Hockings from the Warwick Visitor In-

Fran Hockings, a volunteer at the Warwick Visitor Information Centre for more than 16 years, said she believes the podcasts will have a positive impact on local tourism.

“I talked about the history of the (Warwick Visitor Information) Centre on the podcast,” she said.

“It covers everything from national parks to waterfalls … I think it’s a great idea.”

podcasts reflect the “heaven” that the Southern Downs and Granite Belt really is.

“As time goes on, how we market (our) attributes has changed. No one can really underestimate the value that you have brought to our region,” he told Ms Eeeles.

“When I say this is a great place to live, work and play … these podcasts are highlighting that.”

Write stuff: Travel writers hosted on the Granite Belt Twenty members of The Australian Society of Travel Writers recently spent a glorious weekend on the Southern Downs and Granite Belt, hosted by Granite Belt Wine & Tourism in partnership with the Southern Downs Regional Council.

Arriving from as far afield as Sydney, Lismore and Brisbane, day one saw the group welcomed to Stanthorpe where a walking tour of the town introduced them to amazing coffee, innovative street art and a visit to the Stanthorpe Regional Art Gallery before they had the chance to sample the many culinary flavours of the Southern Downs from the local cafes and bakeries on the main street.

The two-day visit to the region included a number of opportunities to ‘Meet the Maker’.

Writers were able to interact with growers, chefs and wine makers over lunch and dinner where the writers could learn first-hand about the people that make our region’s vibrant tourism industry tick.

‘Meet the Maker’ opportunities included meeting Granite Belt local and chef Bobbi Wells from the Barrelroom at Ballandean Estate, award-winning winemakers Robyn Puglisi-Henderson from Ballandean Estate winery, Mike Hayes from Balancing Heart Vineyard, fourth generation orchardist David McMahon and a stop at the new-look Granite Belt Christmas Tree Farm.

Cooper, Southern Downs Mayor Vic Pennisi welcomed the group for lunch at Ballandean Estate.

Cr Pennisi said the “opportunity to host a group of esteemed writers such as these allows Council to generate valuable and positive media stories about the Southern Downs and Granite Belt tourism experience”.

“Hosting experience travel writers like these allows Council to support local tourism operators and generate new photo resources for regional tourism promotion,” he said.

“Opportunities like these gives the Southern Downs and Granite Belt media coverage that would not otherwise be possible on such a scale, and with an increase of almost 75% in visitors to our information centre in Warwick and Stanthorpe in the last 6 months of 2020, it proves that our region is a sought after destination for travellers who otherwise might have spent their valuable tourism dollars overseas.

“Southern Downs. A great place to live, work, play and stay.”

Cr Pennisi also extended an invitation to the group to visit the Southern Downs again to experience the region’s rich heritage and growing ecotourism scene.

Drought review pending

By Jeremy Sollars Queensland Agriculture Minister Mark Furner has confirmed that the heavy rainfall across the Warwick and Stanthorpe regions in March will be factored into an impending review of our local drought declaration.

Locals expressed the view in the last fortnight to Warwick and Stanthorpe Today that the rainfall should not be considered as part of the drought declaration review - due in either late April or early May - as it might ‘skew’ the result towards lifting the declaration.

Many locals remain of the view that despite ‘official’ falls of nearly 280mm for March for Warwick and just under 190mm for Stanthorpe our region should remain drought-declared and primary producers continue to have access to drought assistance.

Historically, rainfall between ‘summer and summer’ is what is factored into a drought declaration review - last month’s rain was in autumn - but Mr Furner this week said the definition of the beginning and end of the ‘wet season’ for Queensland’s regions is these days somewhat less certain and attributable to climate change.

A formal decision on the continuation or otherwise of the Southern Downs Regional Council area’s drought declaration will be made by Mr Furner as minister, but again historically ministers have followed the advice of Local Drought Committees (LDC’s), which are made up of primary producer and other local representatives whose identities are kept confidential.

Mr Furner did say this week that during his tenure as Agriculture Minister he had ruled against an LDC recommendation “a few times, based on further consideration of local issues”, in those cases determining that declarations remain in place despite an LDC recommendation to the contrary.

Just over 67 per cent of Queensland remains under a current drought declaration.

In areas without a declaration primary producers can apply for an individually droughted property declaration, or ‘IDP’.

“The rainfall received during March will be taken into account by the Local Drought Committee and by myself as the minister,” Mr Furner said.

“I think it’s likely that some of the areas east of the Great Dividing Range will have their declarations lifted, largely as a result of the March rain.

“The LDC in this region is due to meet either by the end of April or in early May and I’ll be awaiting their recommendation.

“I think the period we refer to as a ‘wet season’ has really altered quite significantly in recent years - we’re seeing it extend beyond the accepted summer period and the government sees that as the result of climate change.”

Dam releases on hold ...

With Warwick’s Leslie Dam at just under 30 per cent of full capacity as of this week but producers in the dam’s catchment area having received significant rainfall in March, irrigation releases from the dam by owner Sunwater are currently on hold.

Queensland Water Minister GLENN BUTCHER last week released the following statement on the Upper Condamine catchment region, which covers Warwick and Leslie Dam ...

“The recent rain in the Upper Condamine region has provided local irrigators with some reasons to smile over the past few weeks and now Sunwater has given them even more reason to celebrate,” Mr Butcher said.

“Due to recent rainfall, irrigators in the Upper Condamine region will have access to a significant portion of their water allocation for the first time since July 2017.

“The recent rainfall is great news for the Warwick community, and we are hopeful for more inflows in the coming weeks and months.

The ‘bottom’ 15,000ML is set aside for town water for Warwick and the Southern Downs Regional Council pays Sunwater for its use.

While Leslie Dam is the highest it has been since July 2017 a Sunwater spokesman this week said because local irrigators currently had good levels in their private dams - and the sub-surface moisture level in local paddocks remains beneficial - no immediate release of water from Leslie Dam is planned.

“Sunwater will continue to consult with those local water users (producers) and we’ll

“This means that Sunwater has advised irrigators with medium priority allocations they will now have access to 75 per cent of their allocation for the remainder of the water year, which runs to 30 June this year.

“Prior to the rainfall, with the dam levels so low, this allocation was at 0 per cent.

“Sunwater will work with irrigators to ensure releases to allocation owners can be coordinated to maximise delivery efficiency.

“There is currently 30,005 megalitres in the dam and the medium priority allocation will be available as long as the dam’s supply level remains above 15,000 megalitres.” continue to perform calculations and keep an eye on the situation,” the spokesman said.

“If and when releases from Leslie Dam are required for irrigation we’ll have those discussions and coordinate with those producers at that time.

“It will all depend on irrigator need and demand.”

Drought program funding ...

The Southern Downs Regional Council says the region is “still reeling from years of drought, and impacted not-for-profit community organisations are invited to apply for a share of $150k available through the council”.

“Funded by the Australian Government’s Drought Communities Programme - Extension Grant, eligible organisations could receive up to $5k each to purchase equipment that supports the delivery of community-beneficial activities,” a spokeswoman said this week.

The deadline for applications is this Sunday 18 April.

Mayor Vic Pennisi said not-for-profit organisations were vital in sustaining social continuity during challenging times and encouraged these groups to apply for financial assistance through this funding round.

“We are fortunate to have water in our dams and tanks, however Southern Downs is still drought declared and the community continues to recover from years of devastating drought,” Cr Pennisi said.

“Not-for-profit organisations support their local communities and largely depend on a range of funding options to maintain and upgrade their facilities to deliver socially inclusive activities.

“This funding round will help these community organisations continue to function and will stimulate the regional economy as funding is required to be spent locally.”

The objectives of the Drought Communities Program are to: support not-for-profit organisations impacted by the drought stimulate the local economy by enabling non-for-profit organisations to purchase from local businesses support healthy and socially inclusive activities through the development of sport, recreation and community facilities allow not-for-profit organisations to support drought affected residents through events, activities, workshops allow not-for-profit organisations to support drought affected residents through financial assistance, resources or business support “Applications close on Sunday 18 April 2021 and can be made through SmartyGrants.

Councillor Sheryl Windle said she was confident the new committee would deliver Stanthorpe’s anniversary milestone in a manner befitting of the town’s rich history and community spirit.

“It is great to see such a cross section of people come forward to take on this role,” Cr Windle said.

“I think this group represents a wealth of experience and knowledge and they already do a power of work across the community, but combined their contribution will equal a 150 per cent for this event.”

The rollout continues...

By Jeremy Sollars Queensland Health says all of its “frontline” health workers at Warwick and Stanthorpe Hospitals have received a Covid vaccination, as rollout of the vaccine continues across other health workers in the region.

Local hospital staff commenced their vaccinations in mid-March, with Queensland Health this week telling Warwick and Stanthorpe Today with nearly 500 of the region’s hospital employees - including doctors and nurses - included in that number as of this week.

Staff have received doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine, which requires a ‘booster’ jab at 12 weeks.

Last week it was reported by the National Centre for Immunisation Research and Surveillance (NCIRS) AusVaxSafety program that close to 65 per cent of people nationally who have so far received the AstraZeneca vaccine have experienced an “adverse event” or side effect.

Federal Health Department secretary Brendan Murphy said health care workers under 50 would be “reprioritised” to the Pfizer vaccine. Further developments nationally were expected this week as the Federal Government scrambles to bring an additional 20 million doses of the Pfizer vaccine into Australia.

Meanwhile local general practices continue to prepare for the rollout of Covid vaccines locally to their patient lists, likewise prioritising appointments based on the vulnerability risk, with the elderly and those with chronic health conditions to be first on the list.

Practices are understood to be in the process of contacting their patients based on that prioritisation. Those with concerns about the brand of vaccine they will receive and potential side effects are urged to discuss their concerns with their GP. It is understood that administrative requirements and record-keeping associated

Warwick Hospital’s Dr Chris Hegarty was the first “frontliner” to receive a Covid vaccine in mid-March. with distribution of the vaccine are considerable and may constitute a significant extra workload for local GP’s and practice nursing and administrative staff.

A Queensland Health spokeswoman this week said “Queensland’s vaccine strategy is guided by the COVID-19 vaccine national rollout strategy”.

“Every hospital and health service in Queensland, including Darling Downs Hospital and Health Service, is providing vaccina-

tions,” the spokeswoman said.

“Queensland Health has completed its initial identified phase 1a vaccine rollout, which included frontline health and quarantine workers.

New travel podcast shines spotlight on Southern Downs

Minister for Agricultural Industry, Development and Fisheries of Queensland Mark Furner MP visited the region last week

A new podcast series is set to showcase the Southern Downs and Granite Belt as the ultimate Queensland adventure destination.

Queensland Adventures is touted as a “go-to-guide for road trippers, travellers and anyone planning to explore the great Australian state of Queensland”. Listeners can expect to hear about secret locations, scenic gems, amazing flavours and incredible activities in places they may have never heard of: all insights from the locals who love it.

Four episodes specifically focus on the attractions and businesses of the Southern Downs and Granite Belt: Food Glorious Food, Active Adventures, Sights and Scenery and Culture and Heritage. Each podcast goes for roughly 25 minutes and can be downloaded from Spotify, Apple podcasts, Acast or wherever you find your podcasts.

“We have a region filled with hidden treasures – from farm stays, to truffle growers, to some of the best restaurants in Queensland and attractions that you won’t find anywhere else. These podcasts will help people from outside the region discover some truly amazing things to do and see when you come here to visit.

“Southern Downs is a great place to live, work, play and stay.”

GOING PLACES WITH ERNIE DINGO

SPICKS AND SPECKS ABC TV, 7.40pm

Almost 10 years since the last proper season, Spicks and Specks is back for a full outing. Fans can rejoice!

A decade will feel like yesterday as host Adam Hills (left), along with team captains Myf Warhurst and Alan Brough, settle back in to the feel-good, music-loving game show.

Tonight, the panellists kicking off the return are singer/ songwriter and drummer G Flip, singer Linda Bull and comedians Frank Woodley Dilruk Jayasinha. It’s the panel show equivalent of a mug of hot chocolate.

MONDAY

TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY 7MATE, 8.30pm

James Cameron’s all-conquering sequel to his 1984 sci-fi classic occupies the same iconic status as Stanley Kubrick’s 2001 and George Lucas’s Star Wars series.

Arnold Schwarzenegger (above) returns as the cyborg protagonist – like the tin man in search of a heart – to defend the Connor family (Linda Hamilton and Edward Furlong) against a liquid-metal killing machine (Robert Patrick), and hence, prevent a nuclear apocalypse. Like Arnie’s classic phrase, “I’ll be back”, to be short and to the point, the special effects are extraordinary.

TUESDAY

THE GOOD DOCTOR SEVEN, 9pm

Now four seasons into the lives of doctors and patients at San Jose St. Bonaventure Hospital, the feeling of a fresh, new show is gone. In its place we have characters, such as Dr Shaun (Freddie Highmore), who viewers feel they know intimately. Afraid of change and stuck in his ways, this nonetheless brilliant doctor has grown up a lot. Tonight, in “Spilled Milk”, we are reminded of Shaun’s emotional limitations in an episode that fervently plays with viewers’ emotions. Claire (Antonia Thomas) is shocked when her absentee father rocks up. After the show’s reality-check COVID storylines, fans will probably be relieved for some good, oldfashioned, emotional manipulation.

The beauty and diversity of Australia is explored in this laidback travel show which celebrates the traditional owners of our land. Host Ernie Dingo (below) doesn’t appear to be interviewing anyone he meets; he effortlessly engages, chatting with them about their beloved surrounds and life stories. The actor and comedian, who many will remember as the affable host of The Great Outdoors for 16 years, is in his element as he explores the Murraylands region in South Australia tonight.

He cruises on a historic paddle steamer, meets a keeper of African carnivores, and shares a special moment with actor David Gulpilil (The Tracker).

A unique new product...

By Jess Baker Carnarvon Funerals is offering a unique new product designed to ease grief, reduce stress, and improve sleep patterns.

Pure essential oils and essential oil blends are available for purchase at Carnarvon Funerals’ Wolfram Street location.

With scents ranging from lavender to eucalyptus, lemon to tea tree and peppermint to frankincense, Carnarvon Funerals director Raymond Mattiazzi said the oils provide natural healing to the mind and body.

“They have psychological and physiological healing properties that have helped me and others too,” he said.

“They can help with anxiety, stress, grief and the everyday pressures that come into our lives.”

Ray said he has been using the essential oils himself for three years, as the “calming sensation” they provide is unmatched.

The plant-based oils are designed to support users’ emotions, targeting feelings of stress and anxiety, grief, sadness, worry and fear.

Ray said they are also effective in helping people relax and get to sleep more easily, which can be particularly helpful in times of grief and mourning.

“Our belief in essential oils and their healing powers is the reason we have decided to have this product,” he said.

Maria Hendry, also of Carnarvon Funerals, said she has seen firsthand the positive impact

the essential oils can have on families experiencing grief.

“When people first walk in (to Carnarvon Funerals), they’re not thinking of themselves.

“The calming sensation of the oil from the diffuser is noticed when they walk into reception.

“Our aim with these oils is to help people and to alleviate some of their stress.”

Maria said there are a wide selection of oils available for purchase and each will help in a different way. Some blends will boost health and calm, while others will relieve head tension and digestive discomfort.

Unlike other “carrier oils” found on the market, Maria said these essential oils are 100 percent pure.

They can be mixed with water in a diffuser, dropped into the palm of one’s hand and inhaled, inhaled from the vial or applied to skin.

Ray said that because each the oils are 100 percent pure, and only one or two drops of oil are required per use, a single 15 millilitre bottle will last a person a month to a month and a half.

According to the essential oils company, essential oil molecules will reach the brain within 22 seconds, the bloodstream within two minutes, and “every cell in the body” within 20 minutes.

For further information about the essential oils and how they might help you, call Carnarvon Funerals on 07 4681 3121 or visit staff at 31 Wolfram Street Stanthorpe.

Biosecurity officers and detector dogs at the Sydney Mail Centre last week intercepted two packages with plants that are known hosts of Xylella fastidiosa, Australia’s number one priority plant pest.

Minister for Agriculture, Drought and Emergency Management, David Littleproud said Xylella was one of the most significant emerging plant disease threats worldwide.

“We are very fortunate that Xylella is not present in Australia, and we want to keep it that way,” Mr Littleproud said.

“Xylella is one of the world’s most devastating plant pests and is Australia’s number one priority plant pest.

“There is also no cure.

“One of the packages contained live asparagales shrub plants with heavy fungal growth and bacterial contamination, the other contained fig cuttings.

“Both of these plant species are known hosts of Xylella, which shows that this devastating plant disease does pose a real and significant risk for Australia.

“The plants also had the potential to carry other pests of biosecurity concern.

“The importation of live plants requires an import permit, which details import conditions that help to manage any potential biosecurity risks.

“As these plants did not have an import permit, they were destroyed as biosecurity waste.

“Xylella is a high priority pest for 10 industries, including cherries, citrus, tree nuts, production nurseries, summerfruit, viticulture. It can also impact significantly on a wide range of native plants.

“It has destroyed priceless olive tree groves in Italy that are centuries old and is known to infect more than 350 plant species in 89 plant families.

“The Xylella bacteria kills plants by damaging the water conducting system in plants, which appears as leaf scorching.

“According to ABARES, a Xylella fastidiosa incursion could cost our wine grape and wine-making industries up to $7.9 billion over 50 years.

“Biosecurity officers do an amazing job at stopping risk material like this at the border, but everyone has a role to play to keep risks out of Australia.

“If you are considering purchasing live plant material from overseas, think again.

“Most live plants must not be imported to Australia unless the importer has a valid import permit.”

Garden Time

Beatrice Hawkins

Surprising and delicious On my trip to Tamworth, just north of Deepwater I saw a sign for fresh picked organic chestnuts. Now, I have never eaten many chestnuts, but a sign like that was guaranteed to pique my interest and as my travelling companions need to stop it was the perfect excuse to buy a 500gm bag for the princely outlay of $5!!

My son has a great fire pit and as it was fairly chilly at night, it was in use, thus providing the perfect spot next morning to put some chestnuts in the coals and “hey ho”.. roasted chestnuts! It may not be Christmas time and “chestnuts roasting on an open fire, Jack Frost nipping at your nose” as the song goes, but it has provided fun and a diversion for grandchildren and - me!!

Apparently, from information gleaned from the little brochure available with the nuts, the trees at Deepwater were planted on the edge of the creek in 1993, have survived droughts and floods and now produce a small crop of delicious nuts harvested by the family and sold at the roadside stall. There are also some ideas on how to cook, peel and use these handsome nuts.

Chestnuts are free of fat, gluten and protein but are a rich source of carbohydrates and vitamin C. 70-80% of all Australia’s limited supply (ap-

prox 1,300 tonnes) of chestnuts are grown in north eastern Victoria and in the high country around the Macedon ranges. Some are grown around Batlow, Orange and Tenterfield in NSW. I guess Deepwater is too small a dot on the map to qualify for recognition and so would be classed as in the Tenterfield region.

Some other areas of commercial plantations are in the south west of WA, the Adelaide Hills of SA and throughout northern Tasmania.

They like cold winters, in fact must have winter chill to produce, warm summers and fertile, free draining acidic soil preferably at least 800 metres above sea level. They can’t tolerate lime or alkalinity. Few areas of Australia meet these exacting requirements.

They are a very large, long lived tree, suited to very large gardens or plantations. You need 2 trees within about 200 feet of each other to produce nuts as they are wind pollinated and not self-fertile. Consequently you need a VERY large garden, or neighbours with trees, certainly not something to grow on a town block.

Around 1480 hectares are planted in Australia containing 275,000 producing trees.

The main varieties grown here are Red Spanish, Purton’s Pride, Bouche de Betizac and De Coppi Marone. Each has its own flavour char-

acteristics and I have no idea which variety we purchased.

They flower in November and December and are obviously ready for harvest in autumn, from March to May. Only about 2% of production is exported and this is primarily to Asia.

The approximate value of nuts produced is expected to be $12 million by this year.

They do not keep well fresh, about 3 weeks in the fridge in a heavy paper bag. Do not store in plastic. This is why they are so highly prized and enjoyed as an in season delicacy. They can be purchased peeled and frozen, vacuum packed, cooked and peeled and as other products from specialist stockists or on line in the off season.

Chestnut flour is even available for purchase on line and would be a great alternative for some of the commonly available GF flours.

Chestnuts appear to have been first brought to Australia in the 1850’s gold rush era and more recently after the Second World War, particularly with the increase in Greek and Italian immigration. We have had a commercial industry since the 1970’s and today there about 300 commercial growers.

Trees will start to produce nuts after about 5 years and these should be thinned initially so as not to stunt the growth of the tree. As with most fruit and nut trees, they can be kept

pruned to a manageable height, but if left to their own devices will grow to be a very large spreading tree.

The poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow commences with the line “Under the spreading chestnut tree the village smithy stands”, so they were obviously a common sight back then. Today neither “village smithy’s” or chestnut trees are common in our warmer state and many of the younger generation would be unfamiliar with the term “village smithy”!

Someone with the hard work hands of a “village smithy’ might be handy when it comes time to harvest as it is a very prickly, furry ball encasing the nuts when they drop from the tree.

Very sturdy leather gloves are a very definite requirement for picking up the fallen balls. They may look soft and furry in the picture but in fact are very hard and very prickly ... ouch!!

In the commercial situation a machine that fits the front of a tractor and has large brushes that sweep the prickly pods up onto a convey belt and into containers is used.

As I said in the beginning, chestnuts are not something with which I am familiar, so I hope this information has been as interesting, entertaining and informative for you to read as it has been for me to research and write.

NEWS

Polocrosse in full swing Polocrosse action is back at Morgan Park this weekend, 16/17/18 April.

20 Interstate Teams - from Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia - have nominated to take part in the Barastoc Interstate Series. New Zealand and Western Australia originally showed interest but due to the uncertainty of Covid-19 their attendance is looking unlikely. The teams will battle it out across seven competitions - Mens, Womens, Under 21 Mens, Under 21 Womens, Junior Girls, Junior Boys and Masters Men. In the past, NSW have dominated but this season we are expecting some tough competition from the other states - the players are keen after basically a season “off”.

Some players will travel an approximate 3000 kilometre round trip to play at this competition. The Warwick complex attracts a lot of interest as the fields and facilities are maybe the best in Australia - this competition being in its 12th year.

Play will start at 9.00am on Friday, with Polocrosse under lights on both Friday and Saturday nights. As part of this weekend, alongside the Interstate competition, approximately 65 Club Teams from Queensland and New South Wales will play in the Shell Cup Club Carnival which will commence on Saturday at 8.00am. Teams are expected from as far north as Longreach and south to Albury.

During the weekend, the Club House Cafe will be open for both days/nights, serving a range of hot and cold food - starting the day with a hot cooked breakfast from 6.00am. Entertainment on Saturday night will allow players to socialise, with bar facilities also available over the weekend.

For more information please call - Les on 0419 714 545 or visit www.warwickpolox.com. au. Admission is $12.50 per day/night, $6.00 per night only, free for children under 16 or $30 for a Weekend Pass which admits for Friday, Saturday & Sunday.

SPORT WarwickStanthorpeToday.com.au

The Spin Polocrosse set to return Sports enthusiasts have certainly been spoilt for choice recently. The NRL is back in full swing and while there have been plenty of blowout scores there have also been some surprising upsets, teams who are not playing to expectations and others who have exceeded all expectation. Enough to make you wish you could go back and rethink who might be making up that top eight in September.

The death last week of the great Tommy Raudonikis has robbed the game of one of its last true characters. A man who played and punched above his weight and who along with his great mate Arthur Beetson left us the great legacy of State of Origin. So unfortunate that the Tigers could not do his memory proud last weekend at Leichardt Oval and the fans certainly let their thoughts be known.

If you are a Queensland Red’s Rugby Union fan, then you have a smile a mile wide.

The Reds are flying, and last weekend secured Super Rugby home grand final at Suncorp for the first time since their 2011.

In New Zealand it was clear a long way before the final ball that the Southern Stars, the Australian Women’s cricket team would be returning to home with a 3-0 Rose Bowl sweep and their 24-game winning streak still very much alive.

Whether you are a keen golfer, a weekend hacker, or a casual observer there is something about the Augusta Masters that draws you in and 2021 has been no exception. The world held its collective breath as Hideki Matsuyama led, wobbled, and bobbled and overcame adversity to become the first Japanese player to win a golf major and what a place to do it. Enough to give you goose bumps. Watch golf in Japan take off now.

The Sheffield Shield final gets underway at AB Oval today and what a final it will be.

As a result of Australia’s lighter international schedule, those Australian players not playing in the IPL will pull on the whites in a Shield final for the ages taking State cricket back more than a few decades to the contest it once was. Should be a thriller.

Closer to home Warwick sees the return of Polocrosse this weekend and the Cowboy’s and Wattles each host home games.

It is going to be another big weekend and I didn’t even get to the 2021 Racing Championships at Randwick.

-Casey

POLOCROSSE RETURNS Organisers are finalising preparations for a big weekend of Polocrosse at the Morgan Park Polocrosse Complex in Warwick. The Warwick Polocrosse Club hosts the three-day Barastoc Interstate Series and Shell Cup Carnival this weekend and marks the return of Polocrosse to the district. It will be first Polocrosse played on the Southern Downs since August 2019 and to say President Les Fraser is excited is an understatement.

Mr Fraser confirmed earlier in the week that 20 interstate teams from Victoria, NSW and South Australia along with the Queensland teams will compete in the State Barastoc series.

In a mammoth effort South Australia will be represented by an Open team and an Under 21 women’s team. Mr Fraser said all interstate teams will be travelling with their own horses and given the recent restrictions on interstate travel this is remarkable outcome that organisers could only have dreamt of several months or even weeks ago.

The state selected teams will compete across seven divisions which include Open Men and Women; Under 21 Men and Women; Under 16 Boys and Girls Junior and Men’s Masters.

The Shell Cup Carnival will also be played in conjunction with the Barastoc Series. While nominations for the Shell Cup do not close until later in the week organisers are expecting up 28 TODAY Thursday, 15 April, 2021

Some of the action you can expect to see this weekend as Polocrosse returns to Morgan Park. to 60 teams when nominations close.

Teams will travel from as far north as Tambo and Rockhampton to Albury Wodonga in the south. With teams also expected from various areas across Northern NSW, South East Queensland, and the Maranoa.

Fraser says that while there has had to be a “little reinventing of the wheel” in some cases, the carnival has come together nicely without too many headaches.

“We expect to stable somewhere between 600 and 700 horses over the three days at Morgan Park and in many cases provide on ground facilities for the teams and their supporters”, Mr Fraser said.

He also said the fields are in as good a condition as he can remember following the recent rain. “During the drought we fertilized the grounds in the hope that the rain would come and now we are reaping the benefits of that heavy fertilizing programme. “The fields look magnificent and should play well,” Play gets underway on Friday at 9.00am and continues through Saturday with some games under lights on Friday and Saturday night. A truly spectacular sight. The finals will be decided on Sunday.

If you have never experienced the thrill of Polocrosse, you have your chance to watch some world class players in action in your own backyard.

COWBOYS KICK OFF WITH MIXED BAG The first round of the TRL fixtures did not go exactly to plan for the Warwick Cowboys. After a promising preseason, the A Grade side suffered a disappointing loss in the rematch of the 2019 grand final against Valleys Roosters however the news was more promising for the Reserve Grade side and the Ladies team playing their first game of the newly formed ladies competition.

There was disappointment also for the Un-

der 18 side who were pipped at the post.

Matt Grew coach of the A Grade side was clearly frustrated at the performance of his side as a litany of errors and some average defence gifted Valleys good field position and scoring opportunities on too many occasions.

Valleys made their intentions clear from the kick-off and within minutes Blake Mara had opening the scoring. The conversion was unsuccessful but within a few minutes Valleys were in again and the Cowboys were staring down a 10 nil lead.

The Cowboys had few answers to the unrelenting Valleys attack. The strong Valley’s forward pack were able to march up field on the back of penalties and poor ball security resulting in a procession of tries. At half time the Cowboys were down 20 nil.

The Cowboys came out with more intent after the break but still failed to control the ruck and Valleys extended the lead when Mara scored his second try. With a successful conversion the lead blew out to 26-0.

Cowboy’s captain Michael Bloomfield did not take a backward step all game trying to rally his side. In the 48th minute Bloomfield was rewarded with a great try to get his side on the board. His conversion attempt however was unsuccessful, and the score remained 26-4.

There would be no fairytale comeback for the Cowboys who had been forced into long periods of very tough defence throughout the game and it told at the back end of the game.

Valleys scored twice before the full-time siren taking the final score to 38-4.

While the score line was disappointing there were positives performances from five eighth Luke Brosnan, Mitch Watson, Mitchell Wilson, Captain Michael Bloomfield, and Sam Broomhall.

Although disappointed, Cowboys fans and players know premierships are not won in round one. There is much work to be done

but the Cowboy’s will be putting in the hard yards and under coach Matt Grew are sure to be thereabouts when the whips are cracking at the end of the season.

In the meantime, fans are sure to see an improved performance this week when the Cowboy’s host the Oakey Bears. Kick off in the first A Grade home game of the season at Fr Ranger Oval on Sunday is at 2.30pm.

Valleys 38 (Blake Mara 2, Ben Cook, Sam Cocker, Aaron Sillitoe, Dylan Chow, Angus Tayor tries; Dwayne Duncan 5 goals) defeated WARWICK 4 (Michael Bloomfield try).

TOUGH LOSS FOR UNDER 18’S The Cowboys Under 18’s side suffered a gutwrenching loss in their opening game of the season when the Roosters scored in the shadows of full time to snatch a two point win. With three tries apiece the difference was a successful conversion.

Valleys 18 (Joel Thorne-Saffey, Jordain Beezley, Kooper Diment tries; two goals) defeated Warwick 16 (Augustus Macdade, Damien Beresford, Angus Ridley tries; Jayden Tucker goal).

RESERVE GRADE HOME IN THRILLER The scores were the same as in the under 18’s game but the results reversed in the Reserve Grade game against the Roosters.

The Warwick Cowboy’s Reserve Grade team snatched a try with 30 seconds left on the clock in their season opener against the Roosters to tie the game up at 16 all. Kicker Morgan Taylor made it three from three for the day with a successful conversion to see the Reggies home with an 18-16 win in a very entertaining game.

Valleys 16 (Tries Jamie Hancock, 2; Cameron Lovelock; Goals Joshua Hancock 1 conversion; 1 penalty) defeated by Warwick 18 (Tries: Morgan Taylor, Dean Weller, Aaron McVeigh Conversions Morgan Taylor 3)

SPORT

Casey O’Connor The Warwick Cowboy’s Women’s side made an auspicious start to the inaugural season of the TRL Women’s Open competition scoring a comprehensive 42-18 win over the Roosters.

The girls scored eight tries to three and were on the board within minutes of kick-off when Amanda Hinch scored under the post on the back of some slick ball play. Carley Cooper opened her goal kicking account with a nice conversion, and she went on to score a clean sheet in the game kicking four from four while Jasmine Sefo Wallace added one conversion to her two try tally for the game.

The Roosters narrowed the score to be within six points at half time - the score 24-18 but the Cowboys girls kept their opponents scoreless in the second half and extended their lead adding another three converted tries to their tally. Unfortunately, the names of all try scorers were not available at the time of going to press.

It was a great start for the Warwick girls who played with skill and enthusiasm and it was evident from the kick-off that this is a team that has put in a lot of hard work in the pre-season.

We look forward to watching them progress through the season.

Valleys 18 defeated by Warwick 42

the Bendigo Bank and Stanthorpe Golf Club.

Frank Taylors team from The Summit picked up second prize and third prize went to the home team skipped by Stanthorpe’s David Rose.

The Stanthorpe Bowls club appreciates the support of the Bendigo Bank and the Stanthorpe Golf Club; without the support they provided these carnivals could not be conducted.

Without the support of a willing team of volunteers working hard in the background events such as the Fours Carnival would not be successful. The organisers extend their thanks to this group of people who are such an important cog in the wheel. Frank Gallo and his band of workers for presented the greens in wonderful condition and members are now looking forward to the Triple’s Carnival which will be held in October.

On the Wednesday prior to the Carnival there was one game of the A Grade Ladies singles played. Wendy Hurnall outpointed Robyn Rose 25-15. Thanks to Frank Gallo who acted as marker for this match.

A reminder that the club is holding a “Sunday Fun Day” on Anzac Day (April 25). Games will commence at 1pm.

Form a team, contact Jack Bell (Ph 049 941 2631) by 12.30 pm to nominate and get along to the Stanthorpe Bowls club for a great afternoon.

A perfect autumn morning drew good attendance numbers to the Southern Downs rifle range at Risdon last Sunday’s Southern Downs Rifle. Although conditions were good a swirling gusty wind demanded the full attention and concentration of competitors.

Murray Reck had a cracker of a morning finishing with a fine score to win the Open class ahead of Richard McKillop.

The sporter/ hunter class is gaining in popularity and it was Bob Tyllyer (109.4) who took the honours in Sunday’s event ahead of Merryn Snelling.

This Sunday, April 18 members are advised that there will not be a club shoot at the Range.

The Darling Downs District Rifle Association will be holding their AGM and competition shoot for Qld Rifle Association members only.

As a result, the next club shoot will be on Anzac Day (April 25). A combined military and F Class shoot has been scheduled. Please note that sign on for the Anzac Day shoot will be 12 noon for a 12.30 pm start. If you require further information, contact Margaret for more information.

RESCHEDULED MEDAL EVENT KEENLY CONTESTED Members of the Ladies Warwick Golf club played the rescheduled March Mid-Week Medal on Wednesday of last week (April 7).

Numbers were down, perhaps influenced by the Easter break, holidays and the rescheduling. Although down in numbers the event keenly contested.

Mary Young was the Division One winner after shooting a 77 net. She also had success in the putting competition with a winning 29 putts. Runner up in Division One was Anne Lyons who returned 83.

After finishing runner up in the Sporters Rose Bowl event, the previous week, Di Johnston shot 79 for a victory in Division Two in the Medal event. Runner up, with a score of 83 and also the winner of the Division Two putting stakes (33 putts) was Yvonne Pinington. Balls in the rundown went to Vicki Bennett and Lyn McKillop (84), Maria Carey (85) and Jill Barnes (90). Thanks to the Warwick RSL for their support of this event.

Last Saturday a field of 12 played in the Monthly Medal on the white course. The event kindly sponsored by the Condamine Sports Club.

Noel Fletcher, the Club Patron, says farewell to the Southern Cross Bowls Club in Warwick as he hits the road to live in Toowoomba.

Sam Hinz scooped the Division One prize pool when with a round of 74 nett and 31 putts.

Jill Barnes (77) was the runner-up.

An overdue win for Tub Ingall (84) in Division Two. Two shots back with 86 was runner up Trish Roberts. Louise Carey won the putting with 33 putts.

Balls in the rundown went to Mary Young (77), Annice Payne and Gwen Mills (79), 5and Yvonne Pinington (86).

This week, Saturday April 17, the ladies play an18 and nine-hole Stableford competition sponsored by Red Rooster. Looking ahead to Wednesday April 21, the Mid-Week Medal Single Stroke event sponsored by the RSL Memorial Club is set down to be played.

BIG CROWD FAREWELL POPULAR PATRON Conditions were ideal on Saturday at the Southern Cross Bowls Club and 32 bowlers hit the green for Social Mixed Bowls and to farewell Club Patron and friend, Noel Fletcher.

The winners were Corey, Bourkey and Scotney who defeated Liam, Noel and Clark 36 to 6. The Runners-up Allan, Marion and Barry Z had a 24-12 over Sophia, Penny and Joe. In other results Cita, Greg J and Geoff defeated Gary H, Barry F and Val 26-17.

Randy, Rob, and Kev had a 24-19 win in their game against Julie, Barry F and Wayne.

Daph and Linda played a 19 all draw against Cheryl and Sue while Thea and Slave defeated Pat and Bill 26-9.

Noel Fletcher, a champion bowler and the Club Patron was presented with a bottle of rum in recognition of his wonderful contribution to the club over many years. There were “Three Cheers” and lots of best wishes with members and friends hoping that Noel enjoys his move to Toowoomba. The crew from Southern Downs will certainly miss him. Good luck Noel. I hear that a BBQ and a few drinks put the polish on a good day.

Sometimes despite playing good bowls that mischievous kitty, the bowls themselves sim-

ply do not fall in your favour and then neither do the results. It was certainly the case last Thursday for Linda Hartley, Cheryl Wickham, and Barry Heffernan who despite playing good bowls did not get a look in in their game when they played Barry Frame, Val Gray and Geoff Davis. They came off second best with the final score 15-5.

Today, Thursday April 15, the Ladies are hosting Social Mixed Bowls which commence at 1.00pm. Everyone is welcome including beginners. Please direct any inquiries to club Secretary Cheryl (0407 641 158).

If you have any queries regarding these matters, please contact the Games Director Clark on 0427 673 277.

Remember, for barefoot bowls, social and competition bowls, functions, and bar, it is hard to go past the Southern Cross Bowls Club Inc. located opposite St Mary’s Church in Warwick. Follow the club’s Facebook page or contact the Club Secretary, Cheryl on 0407 641 158.

Despite the soggy conditions, there no complaints and the game was enjoyed by everyone. Lisa Stuart continues to shine as her purple patch of form rolls on. She won the event with 73 nett and also returned the best Gross score of 94.

Neta Thouard is another of the Ladies who has been in great from. Thouard returned nett 84 as did the ever-consistent Trish Fittock.

Following a countback Thouard secured the runner’s up spot and Fittock was relegated to the run down. Lorraine Evans put her putting skills to work winning the putting competition with 31 putts.

HOLE IN ONE ANYONE A large group of Croquet players enjoyed the conditions last Thursday as they took to the Warwick Court for Golf Croquet.

WHO IS THE BEST AT THIS TABLE? Bragging rights in the Burgess family might be a cause for discussion around the dinner table this week after junior golfer, Andrew Burgess, returned the best score of the day to win the April medal stroke event at the Stanthorpe Golf club on Saturday.

His nett 63 score was the best on the day.

The young golfer has had some good rounds recently, but Saturday was clearly his best and as a consequence he will drop a few shots from 30 TODAY Thursday, 15 April, 2021

Dean Weller gets the ball down close to the post with 30 seconds remaining on the clock in the Reserve Grade clash against Valleys. A successful conversion gave the Cowboys a two point win after the bell. his handicap. Ivan Juriss found driving his cart around the course is better than walking.

Perhaps this contributed to his score of nett 67 which saw him collect the prize for runner up.

In previous months, nett 67 would likely have been a winning score but Juriss is obviously not far away from another Saturday win.

Matt Waterworth is a model of consistency and returned the Best gross score, a two under par 70 for the round.

Putting honours were claimed by Wes Smith who needed 26 putts for the round.

In the run down, Matt Waterworth (nett 69), Stephen Kay (70) and Len Leigh (70) each collected a prize.

Kay Webb has featured in the run downs in the past few weeks but played a great round on Saturday making a welcome return to the winner’s circle with a score of nett 76.

Helen Jones finished two shots back with nett 78 to claim the runner’s up position.

Nikki Waterworth made it a family double returning in the Gross Stakes when she returned the best gross score of 95 for the 18 holes in the ladies event. The Best putting performance came from Lorraine Evans with 29 putts for the round.

Nikki Waterworth, Linda Kelly and Trish Fittock finished with nett 80’s to collect in the run down.

The Medal event was kindly sponsored by club member Richard Reardon.

The Black Toyota Three Person Ambrose event should already be noted in golfers diaries. It is scheduled to be played on Sunday May 2 following a medley stableford event on Saturday.

In past years this has proved to be a popular weekend of golf attracting a large number of visiting golfers.

There is currently a time sheet posted for the event and club members are advised to arrange their teams and nominate early to secure a spot in the field and avoid disappointment.

Michael Bloomfield prepares to take on the Valleys defence moments before scoring the Cowboys lone try in the game against Valleys on Sunday. gramme. A time sheet is on the board at the club for this event.

COMPETITIVE FIELD TAKE ON FRONT NINE Stanthorpe Sporters teed off last Sunday playing the front nine on the Stanthorpe course and from the get-go it looked like a competitive field. A close finish looked likely to be on the cards.

At the completion of the round the everconsistent John Rawlings, claimed first prize with a nett 24 score.

Rawlings has been on the runner’s up page or featured in the run down in recent weeks and his win was no surprise.

Tony Steele returned to Sporters golf and showed he had not lost his swing, walking away with the runner up prize with his nett 26.

After scoring a sub-par round on Saturday,

Matt Waterworth continued his good form to return the lowest gross score of 40 for the nine holes.

His total could have been even better but for a few pesky birdie putts which refused to go down the hole.
