FREE INSIDE: The first edition of Queensland Farmer Today. From beef and grain to fruit and veg, rural health and industry opinion, our new publication covers the issues, connects farmers across the state and gives a louder voice to the agriculture sector.

Time to connect Mental health was a focal point at the last Southern Downs Regional Council meeting.

A letter from Kathy Payne to SDRC Mayor Vic Pennisi was included, stating she wanted to reinforce the concerns raised by a local chaplain and a local chaplaincy committee chairperson regarding the lack of access to mental health support services for young peo-

ple in our region and more generally for all age groups.

“Please advocate for our local community around this issue, as the current situation is not sustainable,” she wrote.

Councillor Sheryl Windle stated in response to the letter that “we’re all very well aware that mental health services are very limited

throughout the whole region, and I think that we can in some way play a small part of many to advocate to get that problem addressed in some way through the federal and state government”.

Mayor Pennisi stated that he’d been liaising with headspace, the chaplains, Lifeline and other groups; having these discussions in re-

lation to how we address some of these issues going forward and what can be done.

Mayor Pennisi stated that Council’s role may end up being facilitating the conversation with all the people that play in that space to see if there’s a common way of facilitating some of those outcomes.

O’Driscoll’s Pistol When Grandma O’Driscoll found a pistol In a tin beneath Grandad’s bed She went to the larder, didn’t need to look harder And replaced the biscuit tin taken by Ned. When the biscuits and slices, muffins, and cakes Were back in their rightful place Grandma O’Driscoll took the pistol And loaded it just in case.

There had been a poacher who’d been getting closer To the chooks, the geese, and the ducks The girls weren’t happy, making Grandad snappy To see them running amok.

Feathers were moulting, they looked revolting It was a scene that was sad to see So Grandma O’Driscoll took that pistol And Hid behind a tree.

In the dead of night when the moon was bright Just a hoot from the owl in the tree Those poachers arrived, armed with knives They hadn’t come for scones and tea.

Grandma O’Driscoll raised that pistol With a calm and steady hand She pulled the trigger as they stood near the digger The crack rang out through the land.

The poachers yelped, but nobody helped Being shot in the bum isn’t nice But it was just a graze, Grandmas intended to faze Not to kill either once or twice.

Grandpa came out and gave a shout “Clear off, you bastards”, he cried Or I’ll get out my shotgun and aim for your bum You’ll not walk for a month, wish you’d died.

The poachers took off like a rocket, knives in their pocket

The editor’s desk

This week’s piece is titled “O’Driscoll’s Pistol”.

“The show’s over, we’d better run!”

They never came back, after that crack From Grandpa O’Driscoll’s gun.

The pistol had delivered justice once more After years in the biscuit tin I used that to save lives in the war, you know He said full of pride, with a grin.

“Well poachers be gone! It’s time for a brew” Grandma O’Driscoll took Ned’s hand She had stood up to the mongrels, without any frills Just her old coat, the pistol and love of their land.

The tea was hot, the biscuits were fresh The tin now stored the baking instead Grandma O’Driscoll returned that pistol Wrapped in a tea towel And placed it safely back under the bed.

Growing up in Brisbane, there was always a bulk-billed clinic just a short walk away.

That stark distance between the city and this region has, for me, been one of the things that has shocked me most about moving out to the Southern Downs.

I strongly believe that everyone should have access to good, affordable, health care.

And that includes mental health care.

Mental health was brought up in the recent Council meeting, which was coincidently (or maybe not so coincidentally) held during Mental Health Week.

We have a significant problem with the lack of access to mental health services in our region.

Councillor Jo McNally made a great point when she stated that many locals might not want to go to their GP for a referral, and would rather go straight to the source.

The problem is this bypasses the mental health plan many of us would need to be able to afford mental health care.

This region has gone through a lot; drought, fire, Covid-19, and border closures.

And I’m horrified by our lack of access to help.

Council, the State Government, the Federal Government; they all seem to want to point the finger at each other.

“No, it’s their responsibility!”

Queensland Health’s response to my enquiry for our mental health article this week had me rolling my eyes.

In my opinion, we don’t need mental health training sessions. We need more professionals.

Who are ideally already trained, and that training lasted more than a day.

Locals don’t need “10 minutes with a master” – they need access to a mental health practitioner.

I do not care where the money comes from or what level of government, but currently it seems like the wellbeing of people in our region is being passed around like a football.

It’s not good enough.

Sleeves rolled up

Green light for traffic

By Juliano Oliveira A walk-in clinic will be set up at the Warwick Leslie Park Rodeo Markets (Palmerin Street) to provide the COVID-19 Pfizer vaccine doses on Saturday, 30 October.

Everyone aged 12 years and above can be immunised from 8.30am to 1pm. Darling Downs Health Department urges residents to be vaccinated as Christmas approaches, meaning physical contact with vulnerable family members.

Please bring your identity, Medicare card, and a pen if you plan to attend the clinic.

“Saturday’s clinic at the Warwick Rodeo markets will be open to everyone aged 12 and over. It’s a walk-in clinic, so it’s difficult to estimate how many people may attend, but we will have adequate staff and vaccine supplies to provide vaccinations to at least 150 people,” a Darling Downs Health spokesperson said.

“Our staff are well-practised at providing walk-in clinics and will do all they can to get everyone who wants their vaccination through as quickly as possible.”

Queensland hit the 60 per cent double dose milestoneon Saturday as the State Health Department delivered 43,716 COVID-19 vaccinations over the weekend.

More than 60 per cent of Queenslanders are now double-dosed, and almost 75 percent of the eligible population have received at least one dose.

Last week, Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk revealed the state’s milestones for vaccination rate. She said that those who are fully vaccinated would have to cross the border from interstate hotspots in time for Christmas.

“This will be achieved in cautious and measured stages once 70 and 80 per cent of eligible Queenslanders are double-dosed,” Ms Palaszczuk said.

By Juliano Oliveira

Everyone aged 12 years and above can be immunised from 8.30 am to 1 pm.

At a 90 pe rcent total vaccination rate, no entry restrictions or quarantine for vaccinated arrivals from interstate or overseas will be required.

Unvaccinated travellers will need to apply for a border pass, enter within the international arrivals cap, and undertake quarantine for up to 14 days (subject to review by AHPPC).

AGM’s caring focus on Afghan refugees

By Juliano Oliveira Southern Downs Refugee and Migrant Network (SDRAMN) held its annual general meeting last week.

On the agenda were the challenges Afghan refugees fleeing the Taliban’s persecution face when first arriving in Australia under humanitarian visas.

Afghanistan lives under the strict religious rules of the Taliban - a fundamentalist group that took over power again in August 2021 after the withdrawal of the US-led military coalition in the capital Kabul.

From the Brisbane-based Romero Centre, Richard Langford provided an update on the humanitarian crisis, which has seen around 300 Afghans settle in Queensland since August.

“Some might be settling in Toowoomba or Warwick, but there are still hundreds of applications to be processed. Many families who have arrived have no initial access to Government services,” Mr Langford said.

NEWS

Afghanistan lives under the strict religious rules of the Taliban.

As reported by Mr Langford, a family of 16 who had recently done their Covid quarantine after arriving in Australia from Afghanistan came to Romero. They had been granted a three-month emergency evacuation visa.

“The family were unable to access Centrelink or Medicare services and needed support while waiting for their visas to be amended to

Humanitarian visas,” he said.

“People face extreme levels of stress while adapting to a new culture, new language and new environment. Added to this is the uncertainty about the safety of their loved ones and their protection visas, which are to determine their future.”

Warwick-based SDRAMN seeks to sponsor a humanitarian visa for a married Afghan couple, their one-year-old son and the husband’s brother. The organisation has completed the required forms to sponsor the family, as they are Hazara Afghans, a persecuted minority who have been targets of the Taliban in the past.

Recently, the Queensland Government has promised $400,000 for assistance and services to the Afghan community through Queensland’s Refugee and Immigration Legal Service (RAILS).

In the first two weeks following the fall of Kabul, RAILS received 650 requests for assistance from members of Queensland’s Afghan community.

Fewer drivers crossing the intersection of Cunningham Highway and Fitzroy Street broke red light and speeding rules during the first six months of the year.

The only state’s speed and red light camera in the Southern Downs Region monitored 1,096,026 vehicles between January and June: 461 speeding notices were issued, while 122 tickets were referred to as red light infractions.

A Queensland Police Service (QPS) spokesperson affirmed that declining detection rates were observed between 2019 and 2021. Encompassing the same first six months, 530 offences for speeding and 197 for not respecting the traffic lights were registered at the intersection of Cunningham Highway with Fitzroy Street two years ago.

“A reduction in the number of notices per operational hour over time indicates a change in driver behaviour as a result of camera operations, reinforcing behaviour that supports road safety.”

In both scenarios, most motorists caught by the camera were driving up to 13 km/h above the speed limit. Reports indicated that most violations had happened towards the end of the week and into the weekend for speed offences. No similar trend was identified for red light infringements.

Member of the Road Safety Advisory Committee for Southern Downs Region, Cr Andrew Gale, said that everything in the road comes down to driver behaviour.

“People disobeying red lights and exceeding the speed limit are certainly dangerous behaviour. So I’m fully supportive of any person, in my personal opinion, who is fully supportive of those types of actions by the police and the transport department to reduce the road toll,” Cr Gale said.

With the imminent opening of the borders at the end of the year, Cr Gale expects a sharp increase in the driver’s bad conduct.

“Look, I have always seen an increase in traffic flow and more and more examples of poor driving behaviour during Christmas. There is a lot of time and effort put in by the QPS and the Government around holiday times to make people aware of what’s going on. I mean, people need to, if we want to enjoy Christmas, we need to be there.”

Results of the latest evaluation conducted by Monash University’s Accident Research Centre concluded that Queensland’s Camera Detected Offence Program was associated with sustained crash reductions across Queensland in 2019. The result was estimated at 1,560 casualty crash savings, of which 748 were fatal or severe injury crash savings.

Our mental health in focus

By Dominique Tassell Mental health was a focal point at the last Southern Downs Regional Council meeting, with multiple pieces of correspondence including in the agenda and various councillors speaking to the issues in the region.

A letter from Kathy Payne to SDRC Mayor Vic Pennisi was included, stating she wanted to reinforce the concerns raised by a local chaplain and a local chaplaincy committee chairperson regarding the lack of access to mental health support services for young people in our region and more generally for all age groups.

She stated she is not aware of a service on the Southern Downs that has the capacity to accept a referral in the short term, waiting times are on average in excess of 6 weeks if services are accepting new referrals at all.

Kathy also said that she has no capacity to see new clients and struggle to provide information regarding alternate referral pathways “ A number of times each week I have referrals whether they are self-referred or GP, that I have to decline,” she said.

“Qhealth Mental Health has a very narrow intake and only accepted referrals for those who are acutely mentally unwell, but they are overwhelmed as well.”

“I am very aware that Mental Health is funded by both state and federal government, but I believe you have the capacity in your position to advocate on our region’s behalf to increase the government-funded services and Council may have the resources to assist local providers like myself to recruit professional staff to our region.

“Please advocate for our local community around this issue, as the current situation is not sustainable. I welcome your response.”

Councillor Sheryl Windle stated in response to the letter that “we’re all very well aware that mental health services are very limited throughout the whole region, and I think that we can in some way play a small part of many to advocate to get that problem addressed in some way through the federal and state government”.

She stated that “mental health is a big issue in this region and in many forms whether it be minor mental health or major mental health”.

“It is definitely there.

“And it’s very clear that we do not have enough services available for the number of people that require those services.”

Mayor Pennisi stated that he’d been liaising with headspace, the chaplains, and lifeline, and other groups; having these discussions in relation to how we address some of these issues going forward and what can be done.

He stated that it’s not just about the money, it’s about the person.

Mayor Pennisi stated that Council’s role may end up being facilitating the conversation with all the people that play in that space to see if there’s a common way of facilitating some of those outcomes.

Councillor Jo McNally stated that “we’ve seen an increase in mental health issues in our region, and it’s been going on for a long time”.

Mental health was a focal point at the last Southern Downs Regional Council meeting, with multiple pieces of correspondence including in the agenda and various councillors speaking to the issues in the region.

“We went through the drought, we got Covid, and the lack of connection people are feeling with their community, their families, and their friends,” she said.

Councillor McNally highlighted how locals in the community may not want to talk to their GP as it is such a personal issue; however, going straight to a practitioner is too expensive for many and wait times for other cities are too long.

She stated that while it was not their financial responsibility, they did have a responsibility to advocate when they could.

Councillor Cynthia McDonald highlighted correspondence between Mayor Pennisi and Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk’s office, which was included in the agenda.

The letter from the Premier’s office includes information on how their Covid-19 relief package includes funding for mental health.

The Premier’s office has not provided details on how much of this funding will go to the Southern Downs and how it will be used.

The Premier’s office was contacted for details on how much of this funding will be used in the region, and exactly what for.

A Queensland Health spokesperson responded, stating that the package will include grants to 45 regional communities to “develop initiatives such as providing financial counsel-

ling support, economic development activity, improving mental health literacy, community outreach and community events designed to help communities to re-connect and deal with social isolation”.

The Southern Downs Council will reportedly receive a $75,000 grant for three programs.

The first will be a “10 minutes with the Masters” program to reach people on the land and provide them with access to financial counsellors with agents to assist with farm management, health and wellbeing information and service providers.

The second will be mental health first aid training programs designed for older people, youth and the community, including a series of 12-hour sessions delivered by trained council staff The third program will be a self-defence and domestic and family violence program to educate young people on how to stay safe and deal with potential issues in a post-Covid-19 context.

A staff member stated because we are on the border, while it’s good to see state government provide funding “more often than not” it doesn’t apply to the whole community out here.

It was confirmed that Mayor Pennisi has written to the cross-border commission for

this reason.

Councillor Ross Bartley stated that in relation to the border communities, he and the Mayor had received a lot of correspondence on this.

“We feel rather powerless as a local government to have any influence on it, but obviously one business owner has a response to the letter,” he said.

“It’s hard to get through to the premier’s office and get a response, and I think that response has been forwarded onto many of the people from Killarney who are venting at the moment and just trying to conduct normal business let alone affecting their personal lives.

“The Killarney co-operative whose large client base is in northern New South Wales it has been dramatically affected.

“Just property owners who own property on both sides of the border, every day is absolutely chaos moving between their properties.

“I think there seems to be a lack of feeling from the state as to their plight at the moment and yes in the letter they offer some assistance in certain ways but it’s not solving the problem now.

“And now is the problem.”

Brooke Summerville says this tree narrowly missed causing a lot more damage.

Brooke Summerville’s bee hives were only “nudged” by the fallen tree.

Char James said eight trees were taken down by the storm.

Ronda Speranza’s paulownia tree was ripped out in the storm.

Storm’s social response

By Dominique Tassell Locals have shared pictures online of the recent storms through the Granite Belt highlighting the damage done to the region.

Judy Wills asked on Facebook if anyone had news, as “the aftermath looked bad in the darkness”.

Brooke Summerville stated that there were many trees down, and it would require a lot of clean up for Applethorpe folk.

She reported that the storm caused a tree to fall down, which thankfully missed the dam, windmill, driveway, pig paddock, powerlines, and bee hives.

The hives “just got nudged”, she said.

Dan Wats reported that they got eight and a half millimetres of rain at the Summit, with their power out for two and a half hours.

Another local, Kylie, stated that the storm was pretty bad where she lives near Granite Belt Brewery.

Colleen Kneipp says things were “all good” at her house in Applethorpe, will around 12mm on the rain gauges.

She said there was wind, and maybe a tiny bit of hail.

Judy Wills replied that the highway was littered with hail around McDonald’s.

At Mt Marlay, Yvette Neilsen reported no damage, with six millimetres of rain.

Brooke Watson stated that her shed was struck with lightning.

Reportedly, her shed was burnt to the ground.

Another local reported trees down around their house in Applethorpe, while Ronda Speranza posted a photo of her paulownia tree ripped off at the front of their shed.

Jo and Peter McKee stated that they drove through the storm.

“I was literally hanging on for dear life waiting to see a tornado touch down, trees down Applethorpe and power out at McDonald’s

when we drove past during the storm.”

Judy Wills stated that the aftermath looked bad enough, and she wouldn’t have liked to drive in it.

Char James stated that they received over 18mm of rain, with eight trees down.

They stated there was massive wind for a short period, which “must have been 150km an hour easy”.

“Scary as,” they said. “We got hammered”.

Stacey Hile said that at Ruby Creek, they didn’t have their power come back on until after midnight which was apparently due to powerlines being down.

New landfill cell a wasted opportunity

By Granite Belt Sustainable Action Network The Granite Belt Sustainable Action Network has taken the Southern Downs Regional Council Mayor Vic Pennisi to task in regards to his statements relating to the opening of Warwick’s new landfill.

The fact is the new landfill has a life of only five and half years due to the absence of any long-term strategy designed to seriously deal with the Southern Down’s waste crisis.

As the Mayor points out, waste costs ratepayers around $10M per year and the costs are only set to rise in the absence of any strategy that is designed to divert waste from landfill.

With more people moving to the region, the new landfill will be full in under five years.

For the Mayor to claim that building a

new landfill is “innovative” and sustainable should be cause for concern.

The new landfill is not innovative.

It is an old practice that simply brings the Southern Downs in line with new regulations.

It is absolutely not sustainable because it is not part of any long-term plan that diverts waste away from landfill to recycling, reuse and repurposing.

The Council needs to embrace the new, 21st-century approach to waste–resource recovery.

To address our waste problem, we need to effectively make landfills redundant.

The Council needs to embrace the new 21st-century approach to Waste Management and Resource Recovery, including a

commitment to the State Government target of an 80 per cent reduction in waste to landfill by 2030.

The recently endorsed Southern Downs Environment and Sustainability Strategy talks of the need to embrace resource recovery but to date, Council has given no indication it is moving beyond relying on landfill.

It’s a shame the Mayor did not take the opportunity to commit Council to a resource recovery strategy designed to minimise the resort to landfill in the Southern Downs.

In order to put downward pressure on rates, and waste charges to local businesses, the SDRC should embark on a progressive waste management programme embracing modern practices that are sustainable into the future.

The Granite Belt Sustainable Action Network has taken the Southern Downs Regional Council Mayor Vic Pennisi to task in regards to his statements relating to the opening of Warwick’s new landfill.

Cenotaph fixed after slip

By Dominique Tassell A local has disputed the statement by Southern Downs Regional Council that the Leslie Park cenotaph was repaired due to an “enquiry”, stating it was in fact a complaint.

The local wrote to the Mayor earlier this year following an incident on 3 August.

She stated that her daughter, her daughter’s partner and their child were walking back to their car parked in Fitzroy Street at Leslie Park after shopping at Coles Supermarket.

They crossed the road towards the Anzac memorial. That day, there had been some rain and the surface was still wet.Slightly to the left of the monument, her grand-daughter slipped over and banged the back of her head on the concrete path.

She immediately started vomiting and shaking and was rushed to the hospital emergency department. The hospital ruled the likelihood of a concussion in their release document.

The local stated they learned since the incident that the surface of the concrete is a honed surface, meaning that it has been polished

in some manner to make it look smooth and shiny, and they had been told that a brushed concrete surface would have been better suited to public areas with high traffic.

They asked Mayor Pennisi why someone in council signed off on this works order without undertaking all necessary research regarding use, safety, and all other considerations as to what would be the most suitable for long-term protection and value to the community.

She stated that this also raises the concern that, if more of these incidents happen, would council then look at a reconstruction of the job, meaning an extra expense for the ratepayer in future years?

“I believe that you would be well aware that any incompetent work undertaken by the council which needs rectification, is a cost to the ratepayer?”

She stated in her email that she would like Mayor Pennisi to examine this matter and check the proposed works by the contractor and who signed off on the plans.

Southern Downs Regional Council was contacted for comment and has not responded.

By Dominique Tassell Allora State School welcomed alumni from the Year 10 classes of 1970 and 1971 back to campus over the weekend to celebrate milestone anniversaries and reconnect with old friends.

The graduating class of 1970 was unable to host its 50-year reunion last year due to Covid-19, so celebrated alongside the class of 1971.

Joanne Otto (nee Ellwood) organised the 1971 class she graduated with, while Jill Weychardt (nee Cantwell) organised the 1970 class.

Joanne was one of just 10 people in her graduating class who studied at Allora State School from Year 1 to 10, and made sure to get a photo with those in this group who attended.

Joanne said planning the reunion had been a lovely experience in that it gave her a reason to reach out to friends she had lost touch with over the years.

“It’s just like 50 years hasn’t even been. You can pick up where you left off,” she said.

“Everyone you talk to has such fond memories of Allora. We all admit that we had the best time growing up in Allora and that we’re very fortunate to have spent our school years and our childhood there.”

Both groups met at the school’s new Performing Arts Hall in the afternoon on Saturday 23 October, mingling before going on a tour of the school.

They then had a cup of tea, cut their celebratory cakes, and mingled with old friends.

Later in the day, the alumni visited Allora Sports Club for a barbecue dinner.

Support for hail damage

By Juliano Oliveira Financial assistance has become available to farmers impacted by the recent downpour that battered rural regions in Queensland.

Through Individual Disaster Stricken Property (IDSP) declaration, growers can access freight subsidies of up to $5000 and Disaster Assistance loans of up to $250,000.

Several reports of severe thunderstorms, damaging winds, and large hailstones in Darling Downs and Granite Belt have been made by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology.

Minister for Agricultural Industry Development and Fisheries and Minister for Rural communities Mark Furner said the subsidies are offered at a concessional interest rate to help fix damaged infrastructure such as fences, sheds and hail netting.

“You can apply online or via the phone, and a Departmental officer will visit your property for assessment,” he said.

In the Southern Downs Region, agriculture employs 17.4 per cent of the workforce and accounts for 22.5 per cent of the region’s economic turnover - agricultural land is mainly used for sheep and cattle grazing, orcharding, and growing vegetables and grain.

ABS data indicated that in 2018–19 there were 4413 farms in the Darling Downs. In 2018–19, the gross value of agricultural production in the Maranoa region was $2.9 billion, 22 percent of the total gross value of agricultural production in Queensland ($12.9 billion).

Eastern Colour director Nathan Baronio

Several reports of severe thunderstorms, damaging winds, and large hailstones in Darling Downs and Granite Belt have been made by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology. recognises the financial support’s importance but calls on the government for more farmer-minded alternatives.

“Sure, it is important to have financial assistance for farmers who had their properties damaged by the storms. But, I just wonder when farmers who have lost their crops to natural disasters will be eligible for this sort of help,” Mr Baronio said.

“I know many farmers severely impacted by the recent storms. They have lost crops, and they rely on them to bring food to the table. What about these farmers?”

Seasonal produce map for the Southern Downs Regions points apricot, figs, cauliflower, lettuce mushroom, peach and potatoes as items produced in spring.

Bushfire.

In case of fire

By Juliano Oliveira Southern Downs councillors have unanimously endorsed a new sub-plan accountable for implementing effective action frameworks in the event of a bushfire in the region.

In short, the new policy ensures the activation, through the Local Disaster Management Plan, of aid to assist Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES) in the management of bushfires.

The sub-plan also outlines the responsibilities of each department involved in the scheme. The interaction between agencies in case of a natural hazard is expected to be improved, avoiding any potential miscommunication. This includes residents, as warning messages will be issued informing the fire’s nature, time, day, and date.

A committee will meet at least once every six months to map, review and renew activities within the sub-plan guidelines. Members of the local disaster management group, council, fire and emergency services, police, state departments and power companies will

be part of the board.

In addition, the new sub-plan also establishes which neighbourhoods are considered safer places during a bushfire. They are local open spaces or buildings where people may gather, as a last resort, to seek shelter from a bushfire.

Ballandean Soccer Club; Lions Park Wallangarra (Cnr New England Hwy and Margetts Street); Heritage Park Pratten (White Street); Dalveen Hall Park (Pine Cres); Goomburra (Cnr Gomburra and Inverramsay Rd); and Leyburn Sprints Staging Area (Cnr Donald and Warwick Street) are listed as safer places.

The sub-plan was analysed during the last council meeting on 13 October. The only question raised came from Cr Ross Bartley, who asked how residents would be moved to safer neighbourhoods in the event of a bushfire. Cr Bartley also pointed out the lack of safer places in the Eastern side of the region. As a result, the Local Disaster Management Group will be tasked with exploring new areas and assessing their safety.

SDRC adopted the new Southern Downs Regional Council Invasive Pests Strategic Plan 20212024 at the last Ordinary Council Meeting.

By Dominique Tassell Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) adopted the new Southern Downs Regional Council Invasive Pests Strategic Plan 20212024 at the last Ordinary Council Meeting.

Councillor Cameron Gow stated he was happy to move the motion, and knew there has been an enormous amount of work going into the creation of this strategic plan as it stands.

“There’s been a lot of input into it.”

Councillor Ross Bartley asked whether in instances where the council had to go in and carry out work then bill a resident, if the kill was unsuccessful did the resident still had to pay?

He was against this and advocated for contractors instead of staff.

Councillor Bartley stated he was really happy to see more face to face communication with landowners in the strategy, as this approach had worked better in the past.

He stated that education was highlighted in the strategy and in his experience, a good opportunity for this was at sale yards.

He stated this was helpful in informing people of which weeds were invasive.

Councillor Jo McNally stated that “it’s good to see that we’re continuing with the top knit-

ting of the rabbit fence in our region, $15,000 a year”.

“I can report that at least 34 per cent of the fence now, the rabbit fence, is actually top knitted as well so actually we’ve actually invited the minister to come look at our region in particular because we are progressing quite well in our region for that, the double protection of wild dogs and rabbits as well.”

Councillor Gow moved the motion and was seconded by Councillor Stephen Tancred who spoke to it.

He stated that “this plan has many components that demonstrate council’s commitment to assisting landholders meet their biosecurity obligations because it is landholders who have the primary responsibility for their land”.

He also said that he approved of the balance in the document, as it focussed on meeting with landholders and working with them.

Councillor Tancred also highlighted how the new plan has an annual review with 27 actions to measure its success.

“It’s under a fair bit of scrutiny.”

He stated that he hopes landholders will see the plan positively, and that Council won’t see the negatively associated with pest management they have seen in recent years.

Southern Downs on display

By Juliano Oliveira Southern Downs artists have the chance to reach stardom as entry forms are now available at Warwick Art Gallery and online. “pARTicipate” celebrates all regions’ creativity from emerging youth art to professional practising artisans from 19th November 2021 to 22nd December. Artists aged ten years and over are encouraged to complete an entry form until 5th November. Sixteen awards will be on offer.

Ms Rachel Arndt, recently appointed as the Somerset Regional Art Gallery Director, will judge the works in seven media categories – drawing, ceramics, mixed media, painting, printmaking, sculpture and textiles.

There are special awards for youth entries, encouragement and an overall winner who will receive $1000.

Gallery Director Karina Devine explains the decision to merge the formerly separate youth and adult artists’ awards to become this year’s exhibition called pARTicipate.

“The young artists’ work that we see at the Gallery at our Wednesday afternoon classes and in the annual exhibition of student work from Warwick State High School reveals that there are some very passionate and accomplished young artists in our community”, says Ms Devine.

“Their willingness to experiment with the media and reflect on current events is very inspirational and worthy of sharing alongside other artists. Our Gallery is a beautifully flexible

A recent community workshop at the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries’ (DAF) Hermitage Research Facility has shed light on their upcoming art installation.

On Thursday 14th October, a community workshop was held to discuss the design for an art installation in preparation for the 125th anniversary of the Hermitage Research Facility, which is Queensland’s oldest research station.

A spokesperson for the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries (DAF), stated that the art installation, part of an upgrade to the facility’s visitor information hut, will feature mosaics on sandstone blocks and two upright panels to tell the story of how traditional knowledge and DAF research has contributed to the food security of our communities for the past 60,000 years and continue to keep us all fed well into the future.

The art installation is sponsored by a Regional Arts and Development Fund grant, the Queensland Alliance for Agriculture and Food Innovation, and DAF. Southern Downs Regional Council residents, councillors, past and present Hermitage staff and ten Indigenous students from Scots PCG College attended the workshop.

Chasing opportunity

By Juliano Oliveira Councillors have positively voted for the adoption of the Southern Downs and Granite Belt Events Strategy, developed by the Council’s Economic Development team and stakeholders in the events industry.

The master plan prioritises the future of events across the region to stimulate the industry over the next five years. From funding granted by the Australian Government, the project seeks to improve current events and attract cultural opportunities to the region.

March, July, August and October concentrate the most significant events in terms of attendance, with over 150,000 spectators. As a way to raise tourism numbers and increase revenue in the region, the strategy is based on five pillars: amplify destination profile; hallmark and major events in a year-round calendar; strategic focus and return on investment; facilitate event sustainability, and enhance event facilities.

Currently, Southern Downs Region has 53 venues with dedicated conference and event spaces. In addition, there are 28 green spaces suitable for festivals and functions and 15 sports clubs and facilities ideal for sporting events.

The region will emphasise more tourists coming from Brisbane, South East Queensland and Northern NSW, preferably through food

The project seeks to improve current events and attract cultural opportunities to the region. and wine, agriculture, arts and culture, and eco-nature events. Exhibitions bring in valuable tourism dollars from outside the region, and one example is Warwick’s 2021 Great Australian Bites Festival, which attracted nearly 20 per cent of tickets from visitors.

During the council meeting on 13 October, councillors assessed the objectives of current and future events in the region.

“The events industry has fought back strongly and experienced an inspiring revival following drought, bushfires and COVID-19,” Councillor Stephen Tancred said.

Another very busy venue will be Borderline Regional Arts Association, showcasing colourful masterpieces and running workshops at Alpaca Arts Collective at The Summit. You’d need more than three days to do the workshops in this one place alone. There are felted beads to roll, felt book covers to make, botanical art in watercolours to learn, bookbinding techniques, shibori dyeing, felt flowers and even needle-felted brooch making. So much creativity under one roof!

And so many individual offerings are just waiting to be discovered - the smorgasbord of everything arty has a trifecta of exhibits, demonstrations and workshops including watercolours, oil painting, printmaking, glass pouring, sculpture, pottery, indigenous art, candlemaking, fabric upcycling, silver jewellery, sockmaking (yes, really!), watercolour pencil, metal art, photography, frying pans and poetry.

So now’s the time to dive in and create your own art and craft trail with all the offerings that most appeal to you. Go to the website www. gbart.org.au and reserve your spot in anything and everything that appeals. October 29, 30 and 31 might just be the most memorable weekend of the year!

An information area will be set up at the showgrounds during the event. GBART Central will be the place to pick up pre-booked picnic hampers for those who want to take their lunch with them as they meander around the trail. We’ve heard of food for thought, but this is food for art!

Granite Belt wines have been recognised for their quality at this year’s Australian Small Winemakers Show.

Hidden Creek Winery took out Champion Queensland White Wine of Show for their 2021 Viognier Class 18.

St Joseph’s School won the Champion School Produced Wine for their 2021 Riesling.

Hidden Creek Winery secured a number of accolades, including a bronze for their 2021 Chardonnay, 2021 Verdelho, and 2020 Vermentino.

They also took out gold for their 2021 Viognier.

4382 Terroir was also notably mentioned, securing honours such as silver for their 2021 Fiano, and bronze for their 2021 Semillon, 2021 Arinto, and 2021 Fernao Pires.

Golden Grove Estate got bronze for their 2021 Chardonnay, 2021 Crystals Sauvignon Blanc, 2020 Vermentino, and 2021 Tranquillo Bianco Vermentino, Sauvignon Blanc, White Muscat.

You can find the full list of accolades online.

Jim Ellway, ASWS Secretary, stated that “after a one year gap, the 2021 Australian Small Winemakers Show (ASWS) has been a resounding success despite COVID restrictions, and bushfires and drought in many wine-producing regions”.

He says the ASWS aims to showcase wines from smaller producers whose innovative practices lead the way in Australian wine production, introducing new styles to Australia along with climate change in mind.

“The ASWS Committee is very passionate about this show and strives to improve it each year.”

Ash Smith, ASWS Chief Steward, stated that “the Australian Small Winemakers Show is now recognised as one of the most prestigious wine shows for small wineries in Australia and New Zealand; held exclusively for producers crushing less than 500 tonnes”.

The Show was established in 1987.

“For me, being part of such a prominent national wine show is always a fantastic and very rewarding experience,” he said.

“It has been an interesting year of planning due to the disruption caused

by COVID restrictions to interstate travel and, for the first time in the show’s recent history, adjudicated by a cohort of incredibly talented Queensland judges and associates headed by Andrew Corrigan MW.” Ash said that “an incredibly strong lineup of wines was once again presented this year, with the Chardonnay, Shiraz and Cabernet brackets being highly contested.”

Hump days: Coast to coast with camels

By Dominique Tassell Sophie Matterson walked through Stanthorpe over the weekend, a sight to see with five camels trailing behind her.

The 33-year-old, who quit her Brisbane job in film and television in 2016 to work on a camel dairy, has so far walked from Shark Bay in Western Australia all the way to Stanthorpe.

She crossed into Queensland at the end of August, walking through Texas on her way to our beautiful region. She stated on her blog that the Queensland stretch has been the most enjoyable walk of her trip so far.

She finally got to see her mum again in Texas, and said online that the last time she saw her she was training camels at Uluru.This also coincided with her 33rd birthday, which she spent in a Texas AirBnB, surrounded by friends and family.

Sophie worked with camels for five years before deciding to embark on her epic journey; training five of them to join her.

She meticulously planned her 5,000km trek across from one coast of Australia to the other and crossed the middle of outback Australia in almost total isolation. Covid-19 loomed above her on the journey, but even with state border closures and travel restrictions, she’s made it to Queensland just fine.

Sophie usually walks between 15-20km every day and is hoping to make it to Byron Bay sometime in November.

Locals have dubbed Sophie an inspiration and “absolutely amazing”.

Brad Fraser stated online that her journey is “so cool”, and “I just love it”.

Glenda Riley said that Sophie has “an amazing story”.

You can follow Sophie’s journey online by checking out her blog sophiematterson.com, or following her on Instagram @sophiematterson.

If you want to know where she is, she welcomes emails at sophiematterson@gmail.com

She trained five camels to carry her provisions for her.

She is hoping to reach Byron Bay sometime next month.

Councillors debated a road closure request in Applethorpe.

Updates on road closures

By Juliano Oliveira The discussion around the permanent closure of a section of unnamed road off Torresan Road, Applethorpe, has been laid on the table to receive further information.

During the last council meeting on 13 October, councillors debated the road closure request and its proposal for farming and agriculture purposes.

Amid the session, Cr Sheryl Windle questioned what would be the positive and negative impacts of the road closure. It was then decided that more information should be collected with the road department. Cr Stephen Tancred was the only member who voted for the motion.

A report delivered to the Council by the Land Management Department had informed that the road section in debate adjoins the Stanthorpe Aerodrome.

Whilst it is currently unformed, it would restrict any future access to the aerodrome using this section of road reserve if it is permanently closed.

Councillors also did not object to the application for the temporary closure of part of Falla Lane, Leyburn. The applicant proposed to use the road licence for grazing purposes, to be used in conjunction with their adjoining land.

A Land Management Department’s report showed that the road provides access to a single property only.

“It is listed as being in poor condition and would require an inspection to determine if it still meets a “constructed” standard. It is probable that if the road was closed, even on a temporary basis, Council would write the asset off,” informs the document.

“This was already a consideration as part of the implementation of the Roads Policy, should it be adopted, therefore it is not deemed to be a reason to object to the application for temporary closure.”

Cr Sheryl Windle questioned the duration of the closure and was informed that the competent body would be responsible for following up on the matter.

Enjoying all things Johnny A letter from Lucinda Hoffman, a General Manager at the Department of Transport and Main Roads, discussing the possibility of an electric car charging station in Stanthorpe, was included in the last Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) Ordinary Council Meeting.

An EV future

By Dominique Tassell A letter from Lucinda Hoffman, a General Manager at the Department of Transport and Main Roads, discussing the possibility of an electric car charging station in Stanthorpe, was included in the last Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) Ordinary Council Meeting.

The letter referenced the announcement on 17 June this year by the Honourable Mark Bailey MP, Minister for Transport and Main Roads, that $2.755 million would be committed to extending the Queensland Electric Superhighway (QESH) with 18 new charging sites across the state.

Lucinda advised that as part of the Government’s investment in QESH Phase 3, Stanthorpe has been selected to host a QESH fastcharging station.

“While initial development focused on establishing the QESH network along the Bruce Highway as Queensland’s major north-south corridor, extending the charging network inland to North West Queensland was prioritised for Phase 2.”

She stated that once complete, the Queensland Government’s Phase 3 invest-

ment will increase the QESH network to 49 fast-charging locations which will allow electric vehicle (EV) users to explore Outback Queensland, support economic recovery in the regions, and encourage further drive tourism opportunities across our state.

During the Council meeting, Councillor Stephen Tancred raised some questions about the project and how it would affect the community.

Councillor Tancred asked whether there would be an agreement for us to host the site and whether the charging station would be on council land.

He questioned whether this would mean the station would be a financial cost for Council.

“Would we be charging the public to charge their cars?”

SDRC CEO Dave Burges stated that he couldn’t answer that question at this point in time.

He said this had been deferred to the works department to liaise in that process, and he did not know what the criteria would be nor who would pay the electricity bill.

Our Services... your choice

For one night only, on 13 November, the Johnny Cash Country Music Festival will be holding The Man in Black Cocktail Party will be held at the Stanthorpe International Club While the Festival is unable to go ahead in its full form due to Covid-19 restrictions, they are “still very keen to keep the event alive and celebrate the history of Johnny Cash and his regular visits to Stanthorpe in the 1980s and 90s“.

They also say they can’t wait to come back in full force again next year.

Johnny Cash was quite the fixture in Stanthorpe in the 80s and 90s, and most locals are sure to have their own “Johnny Cash Story”.

Entertainment on the night will be provided by Billy Guy and The Tuxedo Three performing all the Johnny Cash hits and more.

Billy Guy hails originally from South Australia and started his musical career at an early age.

He has many years of being a full-time professional performer under his belt, working in major clubs, music festivals and corporate events.

Johnny Cash songs have always been a major in his large repertoire and he is well known for his convincing vocal impressions.

A spokesperson for the festival said that “if you love the music of Johnny Cash but never got to see him live it’s a treat to see Billy singing songs as a tribute to the Man in Black“.

Billy will be backed by his band for the night, The Tuxedo Three.

The Tuxedo Three are a Stanthorpe based trio who are long-established local musicians and have each play with a vast variety of original and cover bands around the South East Qld and Northern NSW region for well over 20 years.

The Tuxedo Three are Rod Wilmott as lead guitarist, vocalist and musical direc-

Johnny Cash in Stanthorpe. tor, Andy Wilmott on drums and backing vocals, and Wolfgang Greve on bass guitar.

This includes working with other Johnny Cash tribute acts performing the June Carter duets.

There will also be a DJ spinning songs from the era and Johnny Cash style.

The bar will feature the usual range of beverages and special “themed” cocktails to get the party rockin’ like it should, as well as hot finger food for sale.

On the night, the festival will proudly support Vincenzo’s Apple & Grape Harvest Festival Young Ambassador Rachelle Todd.

House prices historic surge

By Juliano Oliveira The broader Southern Downs regions have recorded a 25.4 per cent rise in housing values over the 12 months terminated in September, the highest annual growth rate across the region since February 2005.

Exclusive data sent by CoreLogic at the request of Warwick Today and Stanthorpe Today registered that the price increase in the region exceeded the national average rate of growth (20.3 per cent) and the regional Queensland (22.2 per cent).

CoreLogic Research Director, Tim Lawless,

explained that each sub-region had recorded an annual rise in housing values of greater than 20 per cent within the council region.

“The strong growth conditions across the Southern Downs and Granite Belt region are also being seen around many areas of regional Australia. As a result, more households look towards the regions for more affordable housing options, along with lifestyle opportunities,” Mr Lawless said.

The regional area of Stanthorpe led the housing values acceleration, with up 28.8 percent and the eastern region of the Southern Downs at 27.7 per cent.

Warwick has recorded a 24.9 per cent elevation in housing values over the past year, the fastest annual growth rate since the 12 months ending in August 2004.

Member of Stanthorpe Carol Saunders affirms that price inflation has been recurrent in the area for years.

“The recent rises have been a long time coming in the area. The prices, until a year ago, were less than what they were 12 years ago,” Ms Saunders said.

The rise in popularity of flexible working arrangements is another factor supporting

housing demand across the region.

“The typical house value across the Southern Downs region is almost $410,000 cheaper than house values in Brisbane and more than $1 million less than Sydney’s median house value, so the affordability advantage is still substantial despite the recent surge in prices,” Mr Lawless said.

According to realestate.com.au, median property prices in Stanthorpe last year ranged from $271,500 for houses to $235,000 for units.

In Warwick, the prices vary from $275,000 for houses to $240,000 for units.

The big picture: Gallery redevelopment gets start date

By Juliano Oliveira The works to expand the Stanthorpe Regional Art Gallery and Library are estimated to begin in mid-2022, with the final design expected to be delivered by the end of December.

At the beginning of October, Federal Member for Maranoa, David Littleproud, announced $2 million from the latest round of funding towards the development of both sites.

Other projects also funded include upgrading the power supply at the Warwick Karting Club and three significant planning projects by the Southern Downs Regional Council and the Stanthorpe and Granite Belt Chamber of Commerce.

Southern Downs Mayor Vic Pennisi said the regional council is working on the subsequent development steps and evaluating the works while the library and gallery are open.

“The next step will be to finalise the de-

Stanthorpe Regional Art Gallery sign. Then, after the final drawings, we’ll go out to tender,” Mr Pennisi said.

“The Stanthorpe Regional Art Gallery anchors the Granite Belt art experience for visi-

tors and provides locals with a cultural and creative hub.

“Our libraries are also increasingly fulfilling a role as safe spaces where community mem-

bers can find reprieve from isolated living, and we need to prepare for this increasing need.”

In 2014 a concept design was prepared by Alwin Architects for a substantial extension of the existing art gallery. A presentation was made at a workshop in December 2016 that explored a reasonably modest proposal for upgrading various aspects of the existing facility. Then in March 2018, Council engaged consultants Complete Urban to undertake the Stanthorpe Library Feasibility Study.

Stanthorpe Regional Art Gallery director, Mary Findlay, said that a few things are to be done as she works in parallel with the council and architect.

“One of our biggest issues is our collection and how to move it. Unfortunately, we do not have a lot of room, so there’s a risky and an important job to do,” Ms Findlay says.

“We also need a great storage area...we are desperate for one because we have no storage for tables, providers, you know, all the high-end equipment that you need.”

Hall is well at Maryvale

By Dominique Tassell Councillors Andrew Gale and Stephen Tancred attended the Maryvale Hall Committee AGM on Wednesday 29 September and provided a report at the last Ordinary Council Meeting of Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC).

President Michael Deecke, Vice President Franke Roche, Secretary Shane Kimber, and Treasurer Madonna Roche were all in attendance.

The President was previously Heather Sherriff.

The report stated that the organisation is going well and the finances are in good shape.

There are currently 22 members with 12 being at the meeting with four proxies tendered, so Councillors Gale and Tancred report they appear to be well engaged.

The Councillors stated that the Maryvale Hall is being well used.

They reported that indoor bowls regularly get 20 players and there are regular private hires.

All activities are run in a Covid-safe manner.

The Committee are combining their Trash and Treasure days with the Maryvale Progress Association’s Community Markets and the hall will be painted inside and out soon, thanks to an FRRR grant.

The budget for that project is $29,000.

The last year or so has seen many improvements to the hall, including solar panels, floor, heating and air-con, lighting, and safety access.

Councillors will reportedly get invited to a thank you pig on the spit function on Saturday 27 November.

Councillor Sheryl Windle raised a question in the meeting regarding the reports on these sorts of events.

“I just want some clarification with this one,

First national service scheme anniversary The outbreak of the Korean War in 1950 coupled with the Malayan Emergency and the Viet Minh uprising against the French in Vietnam, then known as Indo-China, appeared the threaten Australia.

As recruiting for the Armed Forces was considered inadequate for our defence the Menzies Government, with bipartisan support introduced National Service for all 18 year men.

In the first scheme National Servicemen could serve in one of the three forces, though the majority served with the Army.

All servicemen had to serve 176 standard recruiting training followed by five years in their respective reserves.

The first call-up notices were issued on 12 April 1951 and the first National Servicemen for the RAAF started their service at Garbutt, Townsville in July, 1951.

The RAAF had about 23,500 in National Service Training Units and were allocated to Flights at major air bases around the country.

Bases in Queensland included Garbutt, Toowoomba and Oakey and Amberley and Archerfield in Brisbane.

The Navy had 6862 National Servicemen train in Sydney, Flinders naval Depot in Victoria, Melbourne and Perth. Seas service was done on ships of the fleet.

The Army was allocated the largest number of men – about 198,000 – and formed ten National Service Training Battalions.

The largest of these was based at Wacol 11 Battalion. 11th Battalion had 1500 trainees at peak time.

Men were drawn from Queensland and Papua New Guinea with some trainees sent from northern rivers of New South Wales as needed.

The Australian Government in 2001 recognised the contribution of National Servicemen to Australia’s defence preparedness with the award of the 1951-1972 Medal and then in 2006 along with all other servicemen and women were awarded the Australian Defence Medal.

Despite the compulsory call-up most Nashos did their training, active and reserve duties well and honourably and most regarded it as a rewarding part of their lives.

2021 marked the 70th anniversary of the introduction of the scheme and the Queensland Branch of the National Servicemen’s Association marked the occasion by arranging for presentation of commemorative certificates to members of the association.

The Stanthorpe Nashos had their certificates presented to them at their October meeting at the Stanthorpe RSL. That National Servicemen’s Association of Australia was started in Toowoomba in by the late Barry Vicary in 1987 to seek a better deal for the Second National Service Scheme in the Vietnam era.

The earlier intake became part of the Association and it grew to become the second largest ex-service association after the RSL. We have added a new word to the Australian vocabulary – Nasho.

Nashos march as a unit on days like Anzac Day, Remembrance Day and commemorate National Service Day, 14 February.

The date of 14 February marks the last day the last Nasho completed his Army obligation.

“Is that what is expected now, are we meant to be doing that?”

SDRC Mayor Vic Pennisi said this was not expected, and that he has suggested to Marion

that they just be circulated to councillors instead of “tying up time” in ordinary meetings.

The motion was moved by Councillor Ross Bartley and seconded by Councillor Cameron Gow.

Pink with purpose in mind The Zonta Club of Stanthorpe held its annual Pink Dinner on Saturday night at the Queensland College of Wine and Tourism.

This event continues to support the battle against Breast cancer.

Funds raised this year will be given to the local Stanthorpe Cancer Support Group and Breast Cancer Research.

Women from throughout Queensland dressed up in Pink evening wear to reflect on this major issue that has touched so many lives.

Speaking on the night was Simone Willis who shared her touching story on the impact of breast cancer on young women.

Many women must delay having children while having cancer treatment, and some are unable to get pregnant after harsh treatments.

Simone was able to share her good news that she now has a baby boy, Aiden.

The Zonta Club is thankful for all the local support, particularly Anne Lindsay who acted as MC and ran the auction.

HISTORY

When the women ran it all

By John Telfer In the dark days of World War 2, the Australian Government headed by John Curtain was coming under increasing pressure to protect the Australian mainland, after the fall of Singapore in 1942, and the Japanese advance into New Guinea. Conscription was introduced and the Australian Division was called back from the Middle East to enter the New Guinea campaign. A severe shortage of men, owing to military enlistments, placed a strain on the agricultural, industrial, and rural industries to keep up food production from the country areas, to not only feed the population but also provide for our troops in the field. Due to this critical manpower shortage, a fourth women’s Auxiliary Service called the Australian Women’s Land Army based on the British model, was established on 27th July 1942.

In January 1943, the Federal Cabinet approved the establishment of the Australian Women’s Land Army to comprise of 6,000 members under National Security Regulations.

The terms of enlistment were: (1) Women were to be aged between 18-50 years. (2) They were to be prepared to go where they were sent. (3) Pay was to be 30 shillings ($3) per week plus keep, or 50 shillings ($4.50) without keep. (4) A working week was for 48 hours.

The Land army was voluntary group paid by the farmer rather than by the government, or military forces, and was formed into two divisions. The first was for full-time members who enlisted for 12 months, and the second division was for women who only worked through harvest time in four-week stints, and all work was organised for the women on rural properties.

The first division members were issued with full uniforms with badges, while the second division were only issued with working overalls.

At its peak, the Women’s Land Army provided training in farming skills such as milking, animal care and ploughing. The ability to ride a horse was expected in many rural areas.

Training for Land Army recruits was set up in most states with New South Wales using the Hawksbury Agricultural College as their main training base. Mobile units were also set up in country areas, and they became the glamour groups of the Land army. Hostels were created to accommodate the women as they were sent to harvest crops in the Renmark and Berri areas of South Australia and New South Wales.

Accommodation was set up in Showgrounds, drill halls, and boarding houses, while some were boarded in the farmer’s houses.

In Queensland, 1,135 women were enrolled as full-time members, and by 1945, 400-500 girls were enrolled as full-time members. Land Army girls were working through-

out Queensland either at Land Army camps or special billets. There were four permanent Land Army camps in Queensland; at Atherton, Buderim, Victoria Point, and Birkdale, in the Redlands district of Brisbane.

In the region of the Southern Downs in Queensland, the Stanthorpe area became the focus for Land Army girls, with Glen Aplin creating a hostel for the girls in 1943-1945, which became their headquarters. Land Army women worked alongside Italian Prisoners of War at the Colvin brother’s camp at Ballandean, picking and harvesting tomato and grapes. They were also used at the Jones’s farm at Severnlea picking and packing the grape crop. Two ex-PGC girls in Winsome MacKinnon (Class of 1934) and Dorothy Park (Class of 1937), were proud members of the Women’s Land Army.

The Australian Women’s Land Army was a vital and essential service but with the ending of World War 2 it was demobilised on 31st December 1945, thus ending three years of service to the nation in its hour of need. These members of the Land Army kept up the food production and collectivisation in those grim days when our nation was under attack. The sad thing about the Women’s Land Army, was that members only qualified for the civilian service medal in 1994. History could have been much kinder to these unsung heroes who kept the nation’s food sources going, especially to our troops in the fields of battle so close to our shores. Perhaps this poem could be a fitting tribute the women of the Land Army and other women’s services who did our nation proud in 1943 – 1945.

To those women who served, Sons and daughters of Australia, As a nation we must unite; For the dogs of war are at our gates; So, to them we’ll carry the fight.

Young men must answer the rallying call, While our women take up the slack; We’ll push them back on land and sea, As we support the Union Jack.

The factories, farms and industries Must fill with women of the nation; From VAD’s to coast watch girls Their work will ease our consternation.

From Women’s Land Army to blue clad WAAAF, Those nursing sisters a wonderful sight.

They’ll work from dawn till daylight ends To the enemy they’ll show no fright.

So let the nation stand as one To applaud the women who served.

They carried our country in its hour of need, Any accolades are richly deserved Thursday, 28 October, 2021 TODAY 17

Workable invasive pests plan adopted Council has adopted a workable and practical plan to formally replace the previous Invasive Pest Control Scheme in its continued commitment to support rural landholders in tackling invasive pests and weeds across the region.

Under the Biosecurity Act 2014, Council is obliged to manage and regulate invasive pests and the newly adopted plan will support land and livestock sustainability on the Southern Downs.

Southern Downs Councillor Stephen Tancred said the plan allowed for a diverse and customised management approach with a practical separation of the region into three zones based on soil, topography and land use.

Hope and growth – a picture is worth a thousand words

“How we address invasive pests will underpin the future of our region and the adoption of this plan provides clarity, guidance and structure for our rural landowners to manage invasive pests and weeds on their properties,” Councillor Tancred said.

“Ultimately it is landholders who have the primary responsibility for their property and this plan demonstrates Council’s commitment to assisting landholders in meeting their biosecurity obligations.

“The plan is realistic in that it doesn’t aim for eradication but rather effective management to minimise the impacts of pests.”

Visit https://bit.ly/3mdsHL4 to review the full plan.

Community-led planning to power region’s future The community’s ideas and visions will be pivotal in the current review of the region’s ten-year planning scheme to ensure the Southern Downs is planned and developed for the people who live here.

Southern Downs Mayor Vic Pennisi said genuine community engagement would drive a plan to regulate growth and change through a series of well consulted strategies.

“The Southern Downs Planning Scheme is an

important document for shaping our region, our home,” Mayor Pennisi said.

“This document will be central to how our region evolves and grows into the future and it will direct where, how and what development occurs, what infrastructure and public spaces should be provided for communities, environment and building protection and land uses.

“Community consultation events are planned throughout November and we want to see the community come out in numbers to ensure that the new planning framework reflects the needs and aspirations of our residents.”

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to work in a zoo?

To see the animals up close in their enclosures without fighting for viewing space with schoolchildren?

No? Well you might after watching this fascinating observational documentary series that’s returning this week. After five years of planning and more than $60 million, Taronga Zoo’s African Savannah Precinct is ready to home its new residents. Problem is, the giraffes are a stubborn bunch who aren’t all too keen on being herded anywhere.

Then, keepers examine the zoo’s largest eight-legged arachnids.

When it comes to parenting, most of us are just doing our best. After almost two years of disruption and uncertainty, this revealing series couldn’t be more auspicious. Some of us might feel like we could do with a little help, while others will take satisfaction seeing other parents insist their way is superior.

No matter your opinion, there’s one thing that can be agreed upon as you cringe your way through this new series: these 10 sets of parents are incredibly brave. Hosted by Allison Langdon and parenting expert Dr Justin Coulson, get ready to cover your eyes as their different parenting methods are judged.

GOING COUNTRY ABC TV, Tuesday, 8.30pm

Based on the bestselling British crime novels by Peter James and written and adapted for the small screen by Endeavour’s Russell Lewis, Grace is a character and twisty plot-driven whodunnit wrapped in a satisfying feature-length package. Here, the second book following Brighton detective Roy Grace (John Simm, pictured) comes into focus, titled Looking Good Dead. Grace and Branson (Richie Campbell) grapple with two unconnected murders: a drug overdose and human remains found in a field. With 18 novels and counting in James’ Roy Grace series, we could be in for the long haul. It’s a taut and satisfying case.

This warm two-part travelogue, with Justine Clarke in the driving seat, hits all the right notes. Clarke, who is as much at home entertaining children in The Justine Clarke Show! as she is acting in an indie drama such as Tangle, showcases her charm and versatility again in a road trip to explore and understand Australia’s country music traditions and history.

Meeting some of the country’s most beloved musicians, she also discovers how country music was the wild child of its time. Tonight, Kasey Chambers performs the country ballad Wild Colonial Boy with her dad Bill, and Paul Kelly pays homage to this homegrown country music hero.

RURAL LINKS WarwickStanthorpeToday.com.au

Rural Links Livestock agent ROSS ELLIS of McDougall and Sons brings us an update on the local lamb and cattle markets from last week…

Livestock markets update Agents presented a lower number to the weekly cattle sale as intermittent storms played a part in the ability to truck the stock.

The 591 head presented for sale had a few runs of very well presented cattle and with the full buying panel, the market was fully firm to dearer.

Cattle numbers Vealer steers averaged 639c to a top of 710.2c/kg or $1704.98 to $2097.67 Vealer heifers averaged 552.8c to a top of 630.2c/kg or $1553.84 to $1966.38 Feeder steers averaged 482.7c to a top of 588.2c/kg or $2166.60 to $2558.37 Feeder heifers averaged 425.9c to a top of 489.2c/kg or $1528.81 to $1867.02 Yearling steers averaged 553.8c to a top of 698.2c/kg or $1574.09 to $2301.26 Yearling heifers averaged 483.1c to a top of 618.2c/kg or $1551.31 to $1837.50 Steers averaged 451.7c to a top of 546.2c/kg or $2357.36 to $3490.00 Heifers averaged 410.5c to a top of 432.2c/kg or $2078.30 to $3695.31 Cows averaged 367.2c to a top of 395.2c/kg or $2227.82 to $3043.04 Bulls averaged 430.8c to a top of 574.2c/kg or $2312.04 or $4251.48 Total sale average was 465.9c or $1987.55 per head Sheep and lamb numbers Sheep and lamb numbers increased to 1628 head for the weekly sale with a market dominated with light feed on lambs.

Mutton was in short supply with the exception of some lines of breeders and a good pen of western wethers.

With the high numbers of light lambs the market was easier in that feed on range with the trade and butcher lambs still on reasonable rates compared to last sale.

Lambs topped at $219 to average $161.67 a drop of $45/head Hoggets topped at $185 to average $157.21 a drop of $3/head Ewes topped at $150 to average 4121.68 a drop of $59/head Wethers topped at $154 to average $141.90 a gain of $4/head Lamb rams topped at $250 to average $137.13 a drop of $45/head Total sale average was $154.42 a drop of $37/ head on last sale.

Pig and poultry numbers Pig prices firmed as the orders from wholesalers start to ramp up.

Boards sold from $121 to $150 Sows from $180 to $430 Pork from $196 to $235 Stores from $119 to $176 Poultry numbers were again high with Roosters selling to $15, Hens to $15, Pullets to $25, Trios to $50, Silkys to $22.50, Guinea Fowl to $32.50, Drakes to $22.50, Ducks to $10, Ducklings to $12.50 McDougall and Sons sheep and lamb report Agents today yarded 1628 sheep and lambs for the weekly sale.

The two main export avenues were not operating which had an impact on the mutton and heavyweight lamb end of the market.

The local operators were to the fore with the butchers lambs keenly sought after in a market dominated with light lambs just weaned, as well as a few lines of Merino lambs.

The good trade and butcher lambs, as well as boutique orders of mutton as well as back to the paddock buyers, helped the fact of two main buyers not operating.

Lambs topped at $219 to average $161.67 ($45down), hoggets topped at $185 to average $157.21($3down), ewes topped at $150 to average $121.68 ($59down), wethers topped at

RURAL LINKS

Up up and away.

This week on the farm...

CJ has been a busy bee. The house is full of flowers, in the bedrooms, the lounge room, the dining room, and in the kitchen are bunches of beautiful blooms. From sweet-scented roses to native bottle brushes, everywhere you look there are flowers. The garden is also full of colour and when I woke to a stunning blue sky morning I couldn’t resist taking a video of the garden for the Holiday Cottage’s Facebook Page.

Although the garden is looking beautiful – CJ constantly weeding and watering and the lawns mowed to within an inch of their life – the same can’t be said of my house. During the rain on Monday I had time to flick through an old issue of NZ Life and Leisure and as a result, I really, desperately, wanted to clean up my house. I have a confession to make – I am verging on being a hoarder. I am the Queen of recycling and repurposing so I dislike throwing things away that might be useful one day, or that I might fix. However, all that stuff has to go somewhere and my house had become very cluttered. I made a start this week and got stuck into cleaning up the verandah – my favourite place to have meals as the weather warms up. I then chained myself to the desk and waded through a mountain of paperwork, so I’m feeling a bit happier now although there is still a long way to go!

Lambing is still dragging on. I think I will take Bruce Tom’s advice next year and take the rams out after seven weeks with the ewes.

At the tail end of the lambing are eight ewe hoggets having their first lambs. Two lambed this week with puny little lambs knee-high to a grasshopper. Both walked away from their lambs so, not wanting any more poddy lambs to raise, I popped the lambs in a box, rounded up the new mums, and locked them in small pens with their offspring. Although I initially milked the non-cooperative mums and fed the lambs the colostrum I had milked, after a few hours, they decided they might take responsibility for them.

Four days later I let the first ewe and lamb out into a slightly bigger paddock behind

Merino Horns. the house, well, behind our bedroom actually. That was a big mistake as later that night I was woken by the crying out from a lambing.

I tried to ignore the noise, hoping they would find each other, but it just went on and on.

So around midnight under a lovely full moon night, I ventured out to find out what was happening. It seemed mum preferred her freedom than being stuck with a whinging lamb so it was back in the pen for them!

Daily flystrike checks are currently on the agenda. Any sheep with a bit of Merino in them or any sheep not bred on the farm seem to be the targets. Oddly enough none of the English Leicester Longwool sheep have been struck.

We will be shearing in the next few weeks, an event I am not looking forward to. There are only 100 or so to be shorn but the shearer, like Richie and me, is no longer in his prime. Although don’t get me wrong, he is very fit. It is flipping the sheep and dragging them out that is getting beyond me. Even Richie struggles with sheep that are often heavier than he is.

Funnily enough, the fore-mentioned English Leicesters are the biggest of the sheep but are no problems to turn on their backs. It is the short, fat Southdowns and Babydolls that give all the trouble.

Bronte, CJ, Rosie, and another poddy lamb are all down to one feed a day so that frees up

a bit of afternoon time which is now taken up looking after the calves.

They say things happen in threes. On my daily jaunts down to the dam with Dora, I picked up a pelican feather, the first I have ever found. On the same day, I spotted a swan sitting on a nest that was only a few inches out of the water. I can’t wait to see the cygnets hatch out! Hopefully, I can get some photos. I also found a sea eagle nest high in the trees not too far from the dam.

This afternoon I managed to capture some pictures of the swan on the nest and also of the hundreds of black water birds resting on the spit coming off the dam. There must be hundreds of turtles as well as heads were popping up everywhere out of the water. I assume they must be turtles.

If I am feeling stressed I try to take a walk down to the dam. There is so much to see and worries are instantly forgotten. At night the dam comes alive with the music of frogs and crickets, it’s a symphony!

Next week I will be making a trip to Warwick to try to buy a few more calves and catch up with my friends at Blitz Electrical who have kindly repaired my 288 egg incubator. I am looking forward to hatching some Guinea keets and seeing if I get any chocolate coloured offspring from the ones I purchased last year.

I will also set some Australorp Bantam, Modern Game, and Araucana eggs, the latter also known as Easter egg chickens as they lay blue eggs.

Our grandson Cooper popped in for a short visit yesterday and spotted some goat horns I had found in my clean-up. He decided they were just the thing he needed and proposed a swap for a set of Merino Horns he had purchased from an old guy sitting on the pavement outside some shops in South Brisbane a couple of years ago. The interesting thing about these horns is the brand and initials stamped inside them. Does anyone recognise the brand? A good swap I reckon!

Hope you have a lovely week, everyone.

Take a bit of time to smell the wonderful roses in bloom at the moment.

Garden Time

Beatrice Hawkins

Rose City lives up to name For those of you ..and that is most of you.. that didn’t come along to the Spring Flower Show last week in St Mary’s Hall ..well.. you really missed a wonderful show. Warwick really lived up to its name as the City of Roses with the rose section in particular being absolutely spectacular. I am so pleased that that the fascination of some years back with breeding roses for form and neglecting perfume seems to have lost favour. The perfume in the hall was intoxicating! I have always thought that if you have to put up with thorns on roses you needed to be compensated with glorious perfume.

Not only did you miss out on a beautiful display, you missed some tasty, freshly made sandwiches, sweet treats and scones, jam and cream. Remember us for the next show in the autumn and come down in your lunch hour and enjoy prompt, happy service.

The rose gardens in the garden competition were really lovely, and even the ones that didn’t enter that section, often had beautiful displays of roses among the other flowers. Many gardens around town also have lovely displays along with the centre garden in Palmerin St. Those roses will look great for the Rodeo weekend.

As I’ve been around as the judges chauffeur, looking at gardens in the competition, I have seen some really beautiful and unusual trees.

The first one I saw I recognised in a garden on the Upper Wheatvale road and it was a magnificent specimen about 40 feet high and wide and coming into full flower. It was the native Bauhinia tree, Lysiphyllum cunninghamii. It is native to Norther Australia from the Kimberly through the Territory and Queensland. I remember it from inspecting sheep properties in the Surat area many years ago. You could rely on the fact that it was good country where it was growing. Similarly Kurrajongs in NSW were an indicator of good grazing country.. and if all else failed, in a drought they provided very good fodder for stock when you lopped them. Animals loved the leaves and even ate the branches. They regenerated well so were natural drought insurance. One property we owned in the 80’s had about 10,000 and many were lopped during that drought.. even feeding a neighbour’s cattle when agistment wasn’t available anywhere.

Around town at the moment there a some lovely specimens of the other Bauhinia in both purple and white. It is Bauhinia variegata and is from the same Fabaceae family and is native to an area from China through South East Asia to India. The flowers are beautiful and another name for them is “tree orchid” but they have no resemblance to the flowers of our native tree. Both beautiful but very different in form.

Also in the garden on acreage at Massie was something I had never seen before. The owner told me it was a “Malabar nut”, Justicia adhatoda. Extremely drought tolerant and flowering constantly it was a something that if I had the room I would try. When I looked it up it appears that it may be of the Chestnut family.

It is native to the Indian subcontinent, Laos

and Myanmar, is used in traditional medicine for chest infections, common coughs and colds, asthma and tuberculosis. It has been introduced widely in other areas. It is a dense shrubby tree just covered in lovely creamy white flowers.

In the garden at Tannymorel I saw another unusual tree. Apparently it is a yellow flowering poplar or tulip tree. The flowers are tulip shaped.. orange yellow at the base then cream and pale green… really different and beautiful. Although they are commonly known as “tulip tree” Liriodendron tulipifera, American

tulip tree, whitewood, yellow poplar and many other names, and is the tallest eastern hardwood in America, they are in fact part of the Magnolia family. They are native to America, can grow to 36 plus metres high and wide, so are not a tree for everyone. Apparently they grow very quickly, are deciduous after a brilliant show of golden foliage in autumn, but have brittle branches that can be a hazard when they fall. Unlike their poplar namesake, they do not have an invasive root system, but do like deep fertile soil, full sun and are not drought tolerant.

Rodeo this weekend and there will be some lovely windows to be seen as entries in the floral window competition, so take a stroll down the street over the weekend and have a look.

Last minute entries can be made if you read this on Thursday as the judging will take place on Friday morning. Schedules are available from Bryson’s and should be returned there by 5pm on Thursday. There are 10 different categories, but basically it is judged on design, quality and relevance. 60% flowers is the ideal and 40% rodeo theme for Class 5: Rodeo Display.

Performing well: Meeting Alan Smith

By Jeremy Lister, Age 10 On Sunday Mum and I went to the Queensland Performing Arts Centre (QPAC) to see Alan Smith who’s a well-known violinist who plays for the Queensland Symphony Orchestra (QSO) and the Southern Cross Soloists (SXS).

I had a lot of questions to ask him.

My first question was when did you learn to play the violin?

And his answer was he started learning violin when he was six, he said that his Mother and Father were both pianists but they wanted him to learn a stringed instrument since 28 TODAY Thursday, 28 October, 2021

there are a lot more options for string players, he also said that one of his two teachers was the late John Curro.

When I asked how long he had been in the SXS for he said he officially joined the SXS in 2011 and when I asked him when the SXS was established he said in 1995.

I also asked how long he’d been in the QSO for and he said he’d been in it since 1994 and I also asked when the QSO was first established and he said the QSO had its first concert in 1947.

I also learnt that before he was in the QSO he was in the ASO (Adelaide Symphony Or-

chestra) and that he doesn’t play any other instrument.

His favourite pieces from the SXS Heavenly Life concert are the Mozart and Bellini Aria.

After we met Alan Smith mum and I went to the cafe they have which is called cafe by QPAC and then went up some stairs to get to the last SXS concert of 2021.

In this concert, they had two guest soloists which were singer Alexandra Flood and pianist Konstantin Shamray.

The program included a Handel Aria, Mozart Piano concerto, Mahler Symphony No. 4 Movement 4, Rachmaninov and Bellini Aria.

WARWICK RODEO & Gold Cup Campdraft

Gold standard campdraft

By Dominique Tassell This year’s Gold Cup Campdraft has well and truly kicked off, kicking up dust from early on Monday morning.

Campdrafting is a unique Australian sport involving a horse and rider working cattle.

Known by many as the “Melbourne Cup” of campdrafting, the Warwick Gold Cup attracts more riders and offers more prize money than any other campdraft in Australia.

Worth over $105,000 plus a Gold Cup and a trophy saddle, it is and has been for many

years, regarded as the Australian Championship Campdraft.

The Canning Downs Campdraft also offers a significant prize worth $52,500 and its own trophy saddle as does Saturday’s $5,000 Stallion Campdraft.

Campdrafting competitions involve a rider on horseback guiding a beast from the “camp” or mob of cattle and through a course. This requires them to turn the beast two or three times to prove they have control.

Then, the rider has to guide the beast in a

figure eight before guiding it through the gate.

This must all be completed in a short amount of time, around 40 seconds.

Events for juniors 8 years and under 13 years have one sound beast in the camp or yard at all times, while in other events the recommended minimum of stock in the camp is six.

Riders are judged on their cut out, horse work, and course. There’s a total of 100 up for grabs.

The cracking of a whip signals that a competitor has been disqualified, which usually oc-

curs when a rider has lost control of their beast more than twice on the camp, lost control in the arena, or run the beast into the arena fence.

A “tail turn” executed by a horse in the opposite direction of the beast’s line of travel also incurs disqualification at any stage of the draft.

The sport requires consummate skill and horsemanship, and the skill in selecting a beast from the mob that will run well, but is not too fast for that particular horse.

Great prestige is bestowed on the winning horse and rider of the competition.

“We will no doubt once again be welcoming visitors from all over South East Queensland in addition to our regular rodeo families that

make Warwick home during the event.”

“We want this to be the biggest parade yet so let’s get creative and show the world why Southern Downs is a great place to live, work, play and stay.”

Market returns

By Dominique Tassell The Warwick Rodeo Country Craft Market is back, kicking off this Saturday morning in Leslie Park.

The markets will be running from 8:30 am to 1 pm on 30 October.

The Craft Markets are an old favourite with Warwick Rodeo visitors and locals alike; attendees are sure to find a collection of art and craft stalls with something for everyone.

With Christmas only nine weekends away, it’s the perfect time to shop for yourself and your loved ones too.

Sue creed, Market Coordinator, stated that they have 180 stall holders “which is very good due to the fact that several of our stallholders can’t come across the border at this time”.

The Potters’ Rodeo Country Craft Market showcases the talents of South East Queensland with many handmade items, fine food and Country & Western Music.

The Warwick Rodeo Float Parade is a feature of the day with community and businesses joining in ‘the fun of a parade’ on Palmerin Street.

This year the markets will also feature a walk-in vaccine clinic, open to everyone aged 12 years during the same hours as the markets.

12518681-NG43-21

The iconic Warwick Rodeo Street Parade will go ahead this Saturday and is sure to make the Warwick CBD come alive with vibrant colours and community spirit.

Floats this year will be inspired by the theme, ‘Past, Present and Future’.

From 9 am on Saturday 30 October The Warwick Rodeo Street Parade is as iconic to the town as the world-renowned Rodeo and Campdraft itself and this year’s parade promises some exciting new inclusions guaranteed to make this the ‘must-do’ familyfriendly event on the October calendar.

The parade route will run along Palmerin St from Victoria Street to Fitzroy Street and back.

Council is pleased to once again welcome local industry leader John Dee as the major sponsor of the parade in 2021 and thank them for partnering with us on such a significant community event.

Southern Downs Councillor Marco Gliori said that this year’s parade theme of ‘Past, Present and Future’ will reflect and celebrate the essence of the community’s rich history and future.

“The parade has a distinguished history as part of the Warwick Rodeo and is an event that our community continues to enjoy today,” Councillor Gliori said.

“In 2021, we want to encourage participation, creativity and enthusiasm for the anticipated return of the parade through who we

OPINION

Local writer and journalist – and songwriter and musician – BOB WILSON shares his latest ‘Observations’ column.

Hoarding cash on the cards Australians have been hoarding cash, particularly through the first year of Covid-19, despite forecasts that we will be a 98 per cent cashless society by 2024. Even if this prediction from global payments giant FIS comes to pass, some 540,000 Australians will still prefer to use cash.

You may recall a flurry of news stories on this topic in March. The research commented on the effect of a de facto ban on cash during the first year of Covid-19. Even now, merchants are discouraging the use of cash at point of sale.

The topic was prompted when Professor Steve Worthington of Swinburne University’s business school sent me an article he prepared for the ANZ Bank publication, Blue Notes. The topic was ‘Can cash survive the digital tide?’

Forecasts that Australia would be a virtually cashless society by 2024 were drawn from a new report by financial giant FIS Global.

Mike Kresse, head of global payments at FIS, believes cash will be virtually retired by 2030.

“From individual consumers and small businesses to the largest clients, cash can’t compete with rising expectations for fast, safe and easy payments,” he said when launching FIS Global’s annual report.

“The smartphone was already transforming payments, and the pandemic brought the future faster, accelerating the trends.” https://www.fisglobal.com/en-au/fintech2030/connectivity/cashless-society-2030 Prof Worthington says the key issue with the domination of electronic transactions is that it excludes people who either rely on cash

or prefer to use it. He argues that physical cash should be classified as an essential service (designated as a Public Good).

It may not surprise to learn that Australia’s high cash users are likely to be older people, have lower household incomes, live in regional areas and are less likely to have access to the Internet.

As you’d know, banks offer their customers internet banking, but you need a secure internet link to do so.

The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) estimates that two million Australians do not have access to the Internet. Many Australians use public internet, most commonly at public libraries - not the most secure method of conducting Internet banking.

Prof Worthington notes that there is now more cash in Australia than ever before, with record growth in 2020. But it is not showing up in the Reserve Bank of Australia’s statistics as being circulated.

A cash payments study by the RBA in June last year confirmed that Australian consumers were continuing to switch to electronic payment methods in preference to cash. The share of in-person cash payments was still substantial; at 32 per cent by number and 19 per cent by value in 2019, down from 43 per cent and 30 per cent respectively in 2016. But generally, we have taken to ‘tapping and going’.

Meanwhile, the RBA is mystified by the rising demand for cash, which does not show up in circulation data. Cash (notes issued in excess of those returned), soared 17 per cent during 2020. The average in the decade prior was 5 per cent a year. The Reserve Bank went to its contingency fund twice during 2020, such was

ing 45,000 small businesses.

It’s comforting to know that the ATO differentiates between the cash economy, the ‘shadow’ economy and the ‘black’ economy, the latter run by organised crime groups dealing in drugs, prostitution and people smuggling. https://www.ato.gov.au/general/gen/thecash-and-shadow-economy/ This topic got me thinking about the day in 1984 when I was locked in a secure room with a million dollars. Our chief of staff had been asked to send a reporter and photographer to a bank branch in Toowoomba. The occasion was the arrival of Australia’s first $100 note - in this instance 10,000 notes delivered in a square block. The cash was transported by train from the Reserve Bank mint at Craigieburn in Victoria. Secrecy was paramount and we were not told when the photo opportunity would happen until half an hour prior. Our photographer fitted a wide-angle lens to best capture the great block of notes and obligatory men in suits.

These days, I almost always carry cash in my wallet and feel naked if I run out. Despite having a debit card and a credit card, it somehow just isn’t the same. Even during Covid in 2020, when retailers looked askance at people tendering banknotes, I slipped the odd five or ten across the counter. Cash will always be an attractive option for some people because (a) it is anonymous and (b) does not leave an electronic trail.

No sooner had I written that, an ad for Safepay popped up on my computer screen!

How do they do that?

Tabloid newspapers and current affairs programmes go to the ‘stashed under the mattress’ cliche when reporting on this curious social trend. Given the meagre returns available on term deposits and the comparatively low cost of domestic safes, it is fair to assume some people have a stash of cash at home.

There could be many reasons for this apart from convenience; like hiding one’s income from the tax office, Centrelink or the ex. https://www.rba.gov.au/publications/bulletin/2020/jun/cash-use-in-australia-resultsfrom-the-2019-consumer-payments-survey. html Australians have gravitated big time to electronic banking solutions. The biggest clue is the absence of queues at ATM machines and mass withdrawal of ATMs in city suburbs 2,500 gone in 2020 alone.

Prof Worthington says Australian authorities need to work on establishing a way to include people who still want to use cash, hence his plea to consider cash as an essential service.

“We are using less cash as a payment system, but today people still need access to cash.

That may be because of a desire for privacy, convenience or as a backup payment option when all else fails.” https://bluenotes.anz.com/ posts/2021/09/cash-as-a-service-paymentsbanking-rba-digital Cash is still the preferred payment option of many small traders and subcontractors.

The Spin How to pick a Cup winner It is hard to believe that we are only a few more sleeps away from the 2021 Melbourne Cup and of course what that means is it’s not long until the bloke in the red suit and beard pays us all another visit. (Can’t be true surely) It probably also means if you haven’t already, you should be paying attention to what you will be doing on the first Tuesday in November.

If you live in my house, it will be a day when the fact we can’t be at Flemington is a real source of irritation (again) to my Spin partner.

That will be tempered only by the knowledge of how difficult it has been for all Victorians not just those who would like to be at the races for the Cup. Ladies and gents alike should have at least decided on a venue to watch the race, their Melbourne Cup outfit (hat a necessity) and in my household a couple of outfits just in case of a weather change.

Then of course comes the age-old question – picking the winner – or trying to. Everyone has their expert opinion. Picking any winner can be difficult, but picking the winner of the Melbourne Cup is a definite challenge. You just have to choose one of 24 horses, from different states, different countries, and many with vastly different form and some we’ve never heard of. How hard can it be?

Past form can help (sometimes). The winners of races like the Turnbull Stakes, the Caulfield Cup, the Geelong Cup, the Cox Plate and the Lexus Hotham Handicap are all worthy of a look.

Choose a galloper that has finished strongly at the end of recent races not one that is following the field.

Horses that are four-or-five-year-old’s have proven most successful over the history of the race. But don’t discount a six-year-old.

Stallions have a good record as do geldings.

Many punters don’t like mares, but I bet they all wished they’d backed Makybe Diva in one, or all of her three wins.

Barriers are not necessarily important, but weight definitely can play a role.

Many people will back a horse purely because of who is in the saddle or who is the trainer. If your name is Cummings, you would think you would have a bit of an insight seeing the patriarch Bart trained the winner an amazing 12 times.

Grandson James might be the next Cummings on the podium but this year Peter Moody will be looking for his first win in the race after his success in the Caulfield Cup. Much like horses, look for trainers in form.

Cummings, Moody, Joseph O’Bien, Waller and the like.

This year our overseas horses will be restricted due to Covid – some say a good thing too.

Where does that leave you? You should be looking for a galloper with an in form jockey and trainer that is not carrying the grandstand and has some form to its name – How easy was that.

If all else fails pick the one whose name appeals, has a nice face or who has colours you like. Then there is always the PIN method.

The fancies from the Spin team (well before the field is finalised are:- Incentivise; Verry Elleegant (Go the Girls), Johnny Get Angry and Grand Promenade Good Luck, good punting.

VISITORS AND MEMBERS FILL GREENS FOR STANTHORPE OPEN At the weekend members of the Stanthorpe Golf Club welcomed a host of visitors to the club one of the most important weekends on the Stanthorpe golf calendar, the Stanthorpe Open.

In addition to visiting players from neigh36 TODAY Thursday, 28 October, 2021

Inglewood golfers John Morpuss and Grant Wilkins were out checking the lay of the greens early on Sunday morning before play commenced in the Stanthorpe Open. The early morning obviously paid dividends, Morpuss was the winner of the A Division Best Nett. bouring clubs including Texas, Inglewood, Warwick, Allora there was also a contingent of members of the API golf who have been regular visitors now for a number of years along with representatives from City Golf Club.

Players certainly filled three greens on both days.

Maddie’s Gift Gallery has been sponsoring golf in Stanthorpe for many years and is a long term sponsors of this event along with Tenterfield Golf Club and City Golf Club (Toowoomba) who are generous sponsors of golf throughout the Darling Downs region. The club appreciates the generous support of these sponsors.

It was unfortunate that Tenterfield players were unable to attend due to border restrictions however the club was represented by several members who live on the right side of the border (the Queensland side).

The club also extends their thanks the members of Rotary Club of the Granite Belt who were on hand both days of the carnival manning the BBQ and keeping the breakfasts and burgers coming.

Margie Locke and Ivan Juriss returned a score of 44 points to win the medley 4BBB stableford on Saturday. Jim and Jenny Grassick (City Golf) were the runner’s up with 41 points.

Winners of the Men’s only event was the team of Rod Werner and Kev Rowling who also returned 44 points followed by runner’s up John Slack and Rino Piovesan, (42 points).

Pin shots were won by David Gianini, Geoff Fearby, Matt Waterworth, Lisa Stuart, and Jenny Grassick. Pro-pins went to Mark McCosker, Errol Thompson and David Gianini and Linda Kelly picked up the ladies pin at three.

I understand that aside from the scores on Saturday one of the highlight was the impending storm late in the day. With much of the field still out on the course when the storm finally arrived there were players scurrying from the course seeking shelter. Fortunately, all returned unscathed to the safety of the clubhouse but there were not many dry bodies.

There was less stress on Sunday’s with no storm on the radar.

The men played a stroke event on Sunday and the overall gross winner with 71 was Scott Constable. Kev Rowling returned the best nett score of 69. Grade gross winners were David

Burgess (A grade), Gary Maguire (B grade) and Angelo Maugeri (C grade).

Inglewood visitor, John Morpuss won the nett A grade and flying the local flag were local players Richard Reardon (B grade) and Viv Thouard (C grade).

Racheal Hendry (30 points) was the winner of the ladies played a stableford. Ahead of runner up Helen Jones (29 points).

Lisa Stuart won Division One. Runner-up was Nikki Waterworth. Margie Locke took the honours in Division Two ahead of Kay Webb runner-up and in Division three it was Fiona Kelly first and City player Jenny Grassick second.

Pin shots were claimed by Scott Constable, Blue Thompson, Jim Grassick, Racheal Hendry, Margie Locke and Nikki Waterworth. The Men’s approaches went to Mark Hendry, John Morpuss and Norm Mitchell.

The Ladies’ approaches were claimed by Carmel Owen, Lyn Ludlow and Mei Bell. The accuracy drives at the 1/10 hole were won by Lyle Bryant and Annelle Batterham.

Following the presentations at the end of play there was a multi draw raffle which was arranged by Shaneen and Eric McLellan. The wonderful prizes were possible thanks to the support of many local business houses. So great was the support that unfortunately there are too many to list here.

A big thank you also to those members who worked hard to have the course and surrounds looking magnificent for the event.

After such a big weekend it is back to regular play this weekend. Saturday’s competition is an individual stableford, Michael Lane one of the club members.

There is a time sheet on the board at the club house and there is an early morning tee off time available. The afternoon session starts at 11.30 am.

And of course, Sporters will be back in action again on Sunday morning.

BIG WINNERS IN SATURDAY FIXTURES Warwick cricketers played the fourth round of fixtures at the weekend. Redbacks had a big win over Wheatvale; Vic Hill upstaged Sovereign Animals and Maryvale notched up another win

On Saturday at Slade Park, Wheatvale won the toss and elected to bat first. In a disappointing innings only opener Chris Cantwell (14) and Will Gross (not out 10) made it to double figures. Four batsmen were dismissed for ducks and two after scoring just one run a piece. Wheatvale were all out midway through the 16 over for a combined total of just 45. 18 of these runs coming for top scorer Mr Extras. The bowlers dominated from the get-go.

Shawn Brown (2/1) and Tyhe Clarkson (2/17) were the best with the ball, but it was a good performance across the As expected Redbacks had no trouble knocking over the require total. Openers Lowney (25 from 17 balls faced) and Allison (20 from 22 deliveries) wrapped up the game after just six overs.

The second game on Saturday was played at Allora with Victoria Hill playing Sovereign Animals.

Vic Hill won the toss and sent their opponents in to bat. Things began badly for Sovereign who lost their openers and top worder cheaply. It was a grim picture when Wagner and King came together. The score 7/44. The pair dug in taking the score to 128 before King (12) was run out.

Sovereigns hopes of a miraculous comeback were dashed who top scored with 69 was also run out. The score on 133. A short time later the innings was over Sovereign all out for 141 in the 30th over. Again, Mr Extras played his part adding a much needed 21 to Sovereign’s total.

Victoria Hill required 142 to win and often small totals can prove tricky to chase.

Vic Hill were 1/14 when opener Angrej Singh (14) was caught by Woods off the bowling of Joe Wagner. A great partnership between fellow opener Majinder Singh (52) who top scored and first drop Harry Sandhu (45) set up a solid win for Vic Hill. Imran Jawfer batted well before being dismissed for 24. It was left to Ricky Sandhu (Not Out 3) and Damien McDonald to mop up the final runs for victory midway through the 18th over.

The Sovereign bowlers did not have much of a total to defend but Lachlan Woods1/12 from two overs and Joe Wagner 1/13 from three finished with the best figures in a game that proved tough for Sovereign at the crease and in the field.

SPORT

Casey O’Connor MARYVALE SUNDAY WINNERS On Sunday action was back at Slade Oval for the final game of the round four cricket fixtures.

Allora won the toss and chose to bat first.

Mitch Darton combined with Keiran Bourke to despatch Allora opener Matt Christensen for eight. His opening partner Mitch Schweie (3) and Allora found themselves 2/17.

Sean Bryson and jack Duggan took the score to 34 before Keiran Bourke had Duggan (9) caught and bowled. Bryson proved more difficult to remover however his batting partners came and went cheaply.

Bryson reached his half century before Kevin and kelvin Bourke combined to bring about his dismissal for 52. The score 5/85. The tailenders took the score to 122 before Allora were all out. Kevin Bourke bowled well to finish with 3/8 from his three overs claiming the wickets of Bryson and Ole the only Allora batsmen to make it past double figures.

There was only hiccup in the Maryvale innings was the dismissal of Rohan Morris for a duck. The score 1/0. There was only hiccup in the Maryvale innings was the dismissal of Rohan Morris for a duck. The score 1/0.

Maryvale’s captain Pat Bourke (52 not out) opened the batting with Morris and led the way scoring guiding the team to a comfortable seven wicket win for the loss of only three wickets. Mick Bourke (8); Paul Bourke (11) and Kieran Bourke (23).

There will be no cricket fixtures this weekend due to the clash with the Warwick Rodeo.

CANADIAN FOURSOMES AND PATRONS DAY The Warwick Golf Club scheduled something a little different for members on Saturday – A Canadian foursome event. The somewhat quirky round attracted a good field of 50 keen players and was sponsored by Warwick Junior Golf.

The winners by a comfortable margin (almost six shots) were Rhys Farrell and Michael Watt. Their winning score was 65.25 and the margin one of the most convincing of the season. The score, a pretty fair indication that both played very well.

Michael Banks and Garry Adcock (68.25) picked up the runner’s up voucher. Michael Banks once again figuring at the top of the leader board without grabbing the major prize – law of averages says a win cannot be far away.

Harold Byrne and Jason Owens (69.25), Don Stewart and Tony Kahler (69.5), Matthew Penn and Sean Haynes (70.5) all figured in the rundown.

Many of the same name figured prominently among those who had success at the Pin shots.

The pro pin on 13 went to Matty Penn who collected five balls, Rhys Farrell four, Harold Byrne three and Peter Balfour one. The pin at the fifth went the way of Wayne Wells. At the seventh was Geoff Lee (a new member) who had success. The pins at the seventh and nineth went to Slim Eldridge and Michael Watt respectively.

Sunday was Patron’s Day and long serving Patron Rodney Macdonald joined the committee and members for the presentations. Having held the position for many years, Rodney announced this will be his final year as Patron.

Prior to accepting the role of Patron Rodney served seven terms as club President and his efforts and other years on the committee. His contribution to the club over many years has been greatly appreciated.

The format for Patron’s Day was 4BBB Stableford. Taking the honours on the day were Joely Singleton and Don Warrener who returned an excellent score of 48 points - four shots clear of their nearest rivals.

Following a countback, the runners up on 44 were Terri Gilbert and William Martin.

Both are relatively new players so well done to them. Featuring in the run down were Danny and Anne Lyons, Marg and Garry Adcock, Tony and Majella Kahler and Cassandra Connal and Brendan Landrigan.

Pin shots went to Margaret Adcock (5th), Darrell Bain (7th), Brendan Landrigan (9th), Majella Kahler (11th), Don Stewart (13th) and

Trish Fittock was doing a roaring trade selling raffle tickets at the Stanthorpe Open with plenty of prizes donated by a myriad of business houses. Trish would have preferred to have been on course but is sidelined indefinitely due to a shoulder injury.

Anne Lyons (16th).

Once again, this weekend there is another double header scheduled. On Saturday, Members will be playing a stableford sponsored by the Condy Club and then Sunday is the Greenkeepers Day. A two ball Ambrose with shotgun starts at 7.30am and 11.30am. Big fields are expected to be the order of the day again next weekend. Players are encouraged come dressed in yellow for the Ambrose event on the Sunday.

APPLE BLOSSOM TRADITION CONTINUES The annual Apple Blossom Bowls Carnival has been played at the Summit Bowls Club since at least the early 70’s and was initially held in conjunction with the Apple Blossom Festival.

At the weekend the tradition continued as the club hosted the popular Two Day 2021 carnival.

The long-running event is a popular date on the calendar and although Glen Innes and Tenterfield Bowlers were grounded due to border restrictions there was a large number of visitors.

On Saturday 20 teams played the pairs competition and on Sunday numbers swelled with four bowlers playing the Fours competition.

Conditions were ideal for the pairs which rolled off at midday on Saturday. Three rounds of 14 ends were played with eight points allocated for a win and one point for each end won. Dead ends had to be replayed.

What began as a perfect afternoon was interrupted during the third round by a huge storm brewing. With lightning strikes not too far away, discretion in the face of the dangerous conditions was the wisest choice and play in the third round finished on the 10th end .

The local team of Rob Capelli and Tyler Sweeney (Skip) (three wins + 51) were the overall winners. The runners up were Aaron Ritchie and Jamie Zamprogno (Skip) (three wins + 47).

First Round winners were Elana Scott and Dale Callaghan (Skip). Second Round winners were Nicholas Pianta and Sandra Pianta (Skip) and winners of the shortened third Round were Barry Ziebell and Kim Hankinson (Skip).

It was an early start for the big field in the Apple Blossom Fours on Sunday.

Again three rounds were played – 15 ends to be scored :- Eight points for a win and one point for each end won with dead ends to be replayed.

Visitors Ray Williams, Aaron McKinney, Peter Gynther and Neville Morris (Skip) claimed the overall honours. The local team of Brian Wilmot, Michael Sweeney, Rob Capelli and Tyler Sweeney (Skip) finished runner’s up.

The Summit team of Tina Schubert, Adrian Jackson, Darren Stanley and Tony Schubert (Skip) won the first round.

Second Round winners were visitors Paul Beaman, Matt Sheppard, Danny Hughes and Peter Collis (Skip).

Third Round winners were Pam Moore, Cliff Jones, Lindsay Hartley and Aaron Ritchie (Skip).

The greens ran very well on both days thanks to the work of Frank and his team Games Director John hank you to all the volunteers and bar staff who contributed to such a successful weekend.

With Apple Blossom done and dusted for another 132 months a reminder that there will be a Family BBQ at The Summit Bowls Club tomorrow night (Friday, 29 Oct) beginning at 5:30pm. It is a Halloween Themed night.

Seating is limited for the two-course meal, so bookings are essential. Please phone Maree on 0438 642 527 ASAP so you don’t miss out.

LIGHTS ON AT SOUTHERN CROSS It was “lights on” again on Friday night for bowlers at the Southern Cross Bowls Club and there were a number of new faces showing up to give enjoy the fun and give bowls in the cool of the evening.

It was entertaining to watch Kev Seaby and Val Gray put on a show together, David Kerch and Steve Cullen competing against each other and Brian Bourke from Cinema Heights was always in the picture.

Lindal Nolan didn’t “butcher” many shots and Al Thornton remarkably showed he was still able to get up after a good day floor tiling.

WEATHER PLAYING AN UNWANTED ROLE The weather in the past week caused the cancellation of some games at the Warwick Croquet Club.

Only two games of Golf Croquet were played on Thursday before rain interrupted play. Fortunately, the impending rain did little to dampen the enthusiasm or skill of Lyn Treadwell who scored a Hole In One. Those playing Ricochet on Tuesday (Oct19) had more luck with the weather.

Dorothy Gartery and Lesley Grayson (24) defeated Marian Cirson and Julie Grayson (16) On Thursday these were the results before the rain arrived Lyn Treadwell and Heather Guymer (7) v Marian Cirson and Helen Dooley (5) Sue Stanley Harris and Jan Hegarty (7) v Lil Henricks and Meredith Thornton (4) Rhyl Dearden (7) Barb Morrison (5) Maree Windle (4) Carol Ryan (7) v Robyn Luck (5) Helen Dooley and Carol Ryan (7) v Heather Guymer and Maree Windle (5) Barb Morrison and Jan Hegarty (7) v Meredith Thornton and Rhyl Dearden (5) Lyn Treadwell and Sue Stanley Harris (7) v Marian Cirson and Robyn Luck (6) On Saturday in better conditions Tony Hinde and Helen Dooley defeated Rhyl Dearden and Marian Cirson 16-6 in a game of Ricochet.

Raring to go and pleased everything was under control on Sunday morning was Kay Webb one of the organisers of the Stanthorpe Open.

GUSTY WINDS JOIN SHOOTERS AGAIN Numbers at the Southern Downs Rifle Club’s weekly shoot at the Rison Range were down slightly last weekend. However, when shooters gathered at the 600-yard mound, they quickly became aware that the gusty conditions that have been around for the past few weeks would be joining them again on Sunday and causing a few headaches.

Richard McKillop looks to have taken plenty of good from his recent holiday break as he has returned in excellent form and once again topped the scoreboard with a good total of 120.7 in the F Open.

600 yards F Open Results: Richard McKillop (120.7); Bruce McAllan (116.4); Kevin Jones (114.5); Margaret Taylor (112.3); Dave Taylor (112.2); Craig Montgomery (107.1); Charlie Montgomery (95.2); Gerry Voigtlander (80).

This week members are holding a fly shoot at the 300 yard mound beginning at 9am on Sunday. Sign on is at 8.30 am. If you would like further information regarding this event or are interested in the club’s activities, please contact Margaret (07) 4666 1018.

GREENS LOVING SPRING CONDITIONS The greens at the Stanthorpe Bowls club are loving the recent rain as the weather warms up.

There were social bowls played last Wednesday (0ct 27), with both triples and three bowl Pairs played. Ray Rankin Robyn Rose and Peter Smith narrowly out scored Bruno Stefanon Ernie Jones and David Rose 17-15 in an interesting game. In the pairs Gary Trevena and Helen Jones outplayed Luisa Girgenti and Dot Rankin scoring a 23-16 win.

With several players involved in carnivals across the district last weekend there were only two games of three bowl triples played on Saturday. Helen Jones, Tom Hodgson and Dot Rankin proved a winning combination when they defeated Val White, Greg Hammond and Mark Wicks 14-13 in a very close game. The game between Rocky Thompson, Ray Rankin and David Rose and R Thompson, Robyn Rose and Brian Brown could not have been closer.

They played a 19-all draw. A special welcome to Greg Hammond who has recently joined the Club.

During the week a champion of champions match between the winner of the Ladies A grade singles and the Men’s A grade singles was played.

Frank Gallo just stole the chocolates from Wendy Hurnall 25-24 in a very entertaining game.

A reminder to everyone that the club’s twilight light bowls is due to begin shortly. Time to arrange your teams and be ready enjoy the

fun of bowling under lights.

Thanks for the ongoing support provided to the club by this week’s sponsors, Mick and Judy Spiller of M and D Auto.

CAPTAIN’S KNOCK SETS UP SOUTH WIN Souths won the toss in their clash with Wanderers and elected to bat setting their opponents a target of 171. South’s were 3/30 and looked to be on shaky ground when captain Jordan Lanza came to the crease. Playing a Captain’s knock Lanza top scored with 69. He was out caught and bowled by Brendan Barker in the 18TH over, but the score had progressed to 5/151. Lanza’s 69 coming off 40 balls and included five boundaries and four sixes. Ben Staley picked up where Lanza left off scoring a rapid 25 from 20 deliveries. He and Furness remained not out at the end of the innings. Tim Harslett bowled well to dismiss opener Danny Folkers (9) and David Burgess (1) in the middle order. Peter Patti took 1/12 .

Wanderers suffered a big loss when opener Aiden Halford (3) was bowled by Furness first ball fo the second over. The story got worse for Wanderers Tim Harslett joined opener Mitch Drayton at the wicket and the pair took the score to 37 before Harslett was run out. Incoming batsman Brock Patti faced only two deliveries before he was back in the sheds dismissed for a duck as was Bulow. Brendan Barker showed some fight reaching 12 before his dismissal. Wanderers never looked in the fight and were out or 79 in the 18th over for 79.

There score flattered by the 26 extras.

In the end a comfortable win for Souths.

Earlier in the day, (noon) there will be a brief meeting of the men’ section starting to discuss our upcoming carnival. The November men’s fours carnival is scheduled for Sun-

The return of some pleasant conditions was welcomed by the Stanthorpe Mallet players as they headed on to the court for Association Croquet games on Tuesday (19 Oct).

Jenny Tunbridge and Grace Howard played Joy Newman and Effey Russell and were off to a good start. The skill and experience of Howard evident. Her partner was also playing very well. Their opponents did not have the best start and had difficulty getting back into the game. Tunbridge and Howard starting the day well with 26-15. Howard had one run of four, Tunbridge a run of two while Newman and Russell each had a run of two.

Heather Widderick played solo against Sharyn Roser. Widderick could do nothing right in the game while things were just falling into place for Roser. She took a healthy lead held it until she pegged out at 26; Widderick score eight. Roser managed five runs of two hoops in a row. Adding to Widderick’s misfortune she inadvertently scored one hoops for her opponent on a day best forgotten.

Golf Croquet The Golf Croquet group were on court on Wednesday (20 Oct). In the opening game, Kim Foster (3), Jennifer Gleadhill (4) and Kathy Hopgood (5) were all playing well and scored an easy win over opponents Liz Ellway (2), Pauline Inglis (1) and Bev Sullivan (2).

The second game Jennifer Gleadhill (2), Liz Ellway (1) and Bev Sullivan (3) played Kathy Hopgood (3), Kim Foster (2) and Judy Lock (1) finished in a draw.

GATEBALL FRIDAY In the opening two games Heather Widderick, Jenny Tunbridge and Sharyn Roser played the white balls in games against Grace Howard and Joy Newman (Red balls). Howard continuing her good form from earlier in the week got off to a flying start in the first game. Her accurate long shots allowing her to score gate two and taking control of gate three early in the game for Reds. Whites managed to even the scores after some good play from Tunbridge, but Reds hung on for a 13-12 after a Newman played some accurate shots to score hoop three.

Game Two was close game from the start.

Howard scored a gate-and-touch putting two balls through the gate simultaneously giving her team the advantage. Reds went on to score a 14-11 due to the accurate shooting from Newman.

In the third game Howard, Tunbridge and Newman proved too strong scoring a decisive win 15-9 against Widderick and Roser.

In the final game Howard and Widderick found their top form against Newman and Roser, scoring four Agaris and taking 17-10 win.

CRICKET BACK AT SHEEHAN The Twenty Over fixtures that form the first part of the Stanthorpe Cricket season continued last week after a break for the Stanthorpe Cup weekend.

Both games were again played on Sheehan Oval.

RSL won the toss and batted first. A solid 52 run partnership between openers Perrett (22) and Garland (25) set a good platform for the side. Unfortunately, the middle order did not capitalize on the start. The only other batsmen to reach double figures were Noah Mackenzie (11) and captain Luke Brady (14). RSL were all out for 111 but did survive their 20 overs.

Chris Perry took four wickets from four overs for Valleys while captain Samian Anderson was in form with the ball taking 4/5 from his four overs which also included a maiden.

The RSL bowlers had set the stage for a win and the batsmen did not disappoint. RSL were 3/40 after seven overs there start getting them the points.
