A big thank you to Bob Fifoot for stating his opinion on Inland Rail so succinctly.

Many of the residents of the Lockyer Valley would agree wholeheartedly with his evaluation of the Inland Rail Project.

Surely common sense will prevail in this matter.

Christine Flanagan, Forest Hill NTC decision on working hours welcomed Assistant Minister for Road Safety and Freight Transport, Scott Buchholz has welcomed the decision by the National Transport Commission (NTC), to not pursue a reduction of weekly working hours for truck drivers.

“I welcome the decision by the NTC today to maintain working hours for truck drivers. This is a common sense outcome, a win for our industry and for truck drivers across Australia.

Assistant Minister Buchholz thanked all parties for the constructive way in which they worked to resolve the issue.

“I would like to thank those who raised this issue with me and my office and the NTC including State and National associations as well as other transport and logistics industry stakeholders.

“We understand there are existing workforce shortages issues across the supply chain and such a change to working hours would have impacted drivers’ incomes, the movement of freight and operations of transport businesses right around the country,” Assistant Minister Buchholz said.

“There are arrangements in place to manage fatigue, ensuring safe driving

practices are in place and the industry continues to work hard to improve safety.

“I also thank the NTC for listening and taking on board the feedback from the industry and working to resolve the issue with their statement earlier today, clarifying this matter for our industry, which is working to hard professionalise” Scott Buchholz MP Member for Wright.

On behalf of the former Gatton Apex Club, I would like to thank my co-organisers – Lockyer Valley Regional Council and the Lockyer & Somerset Independent newspaper for their assistance in the making of our very successful lifting & opening of the Time Capsule after 35 years.

The Council also cleaned & washed down the shelter shed area perfectly on Saturday morning, which was greatly appreciated. A wonderful day was had by all.

Thank you again everyone.

Cap: Launching the Let’s Get Moving! campaign in Brisbane on Friday, the Council of Mayors South East Queensland (COMSEQ) said there was only a small window of time to begin major projects and have them completed in time for the Games.

Mayors push for SEQ projects South East Queensland Mayors are calling for urgent action on key projects to ensure their completion in time for the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

The Let’s Get Moving campaign was launched in Brisbane on Friday by the Council of Mayors South East Queensland (COMSEQ) to highlight the need to begin planning major projects.

COMSEQ Chair Brisbane Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner said there was only a small window of time to begin major

projects and have them completed in time for the Games.

“The Mayors of South East Queensland put our state on this journey to hosting 2032 Games because they recognised it was a unique opportunity to get all levels of government working together to deliver for our region,” Cr Schrinner said.

“Now the Games are locked in, we need to start developing a detailed plan on what investment and infrastructure we will need to ensure the Games deliver an economic and social

dividend for all residents.”

Lockyer Valley Regional Council Mayor Tanya Milligan said the 2032 Brisbane Olympics puts a clear deadline on building the roads, bridges and rail the region will need for the next 20 years and beyond.

“We need to invest in projects that protect and improve our way of life – not because of the Games but in time for the Games,” she said.

“Major road and transport projects can take a decade or more to plan and build, so we need to get moving to ensure

we put our best face forward to the world in 2032.”

Ipswich City Council Mayor Teresa Harding said the region needs major transport infrastructure to support the city’s rapid growth.

“Growth at the levels we’re experiencing in Ipswich, without the supporting transport infrastructure, is simply not sustainable,” she said.

The COMSEQ initially proposed an SEQ City Deal to address the significant lag in transport infrastructure across South East Queensland,

particularly in the lead up to the 2032 Olympics.

“While the Deal is yet to be finalised, this model presents a rare opportunity for the three levels of government to work collaboratively on what our region needs for the coming decades,” Cr Harding said.

Cr Milligan said many of the elements needed for a good Games experience would be delivered through the SEQ City Deal and urged both the State and Federal Governments to sign on as soon as possible.

“The Foundation City Deal currently on the table is a good starting point for us to begin work on those regionally important projects,” she said.

“There are certainly more projects that we would like included, but the SEQ City Deal is a starting point for all three levels of government to work together.

“Along with all my COMSEQ colleagues, I urge the other two levels of Government to sign up to the deal, even if we need to keep talking to make it bigger and better.”

Stanbroke Beef donate lifesaving equipment Stanbroke Beef have donated eight defibrillators to local rural fire stations in Grantham & surrounds, with Rural Fire Services now better placed to provide life-saving emergency care to the local community.

The eight new defibrillators, valued at $20,000, were donated by employees of the Stanbroke Plant, with money raised through an employee-driven community contribution scheme.

Defibrillators are used in emergencies where CPR is necessary and provide voice-prompted, step-by-step instructions for the person performing CPR. Stranbroke’s Plant Man-

ager Jim Friis said each year employees selected a preferred charity and made regular contributions from their salary to support it.

“This equipment can increase chances of survival from 6% to 74% and by providing the RFS with more readily available defibrillators we feel like we are doing our part to ensure people in our community have the best chances of recovery, should they find themselves in an emergency,” he said.

“As a volunteer myself and having several of our employees receiving assistance from the volunteers at the RFS, we know what great work they

do keeping our community safe.”

Darryl Zeilder, a QRFS volunteer and Stanbroke Employee said in regional areas, volunteers provide front line protection and prevention advice from fires and other disasters.

“So, the work of volunteers is invaluable and the least we can do at Stanbroke is ensure they have the right equipment to do that amazing work,” he said.

QRFS Group Officer Jason Mclean thanked the Stanbroke employees for their contributions and ongoing commitment to the safety of the local community.

Remembrance Day services on November 11 Remembrance Day services are all about honouring the memories and sacrifices of Australia’s service men and women, said Lockyer Valley Regional Council Mayor Tanya Milligan.

“I encourage residents to commemorate the sacrifices made for our freedoms,” Mayor Milligan said.

“At 11am on the 11th day of the 11th month, we remember those men and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice.”

Secretary of the Gatton RSL Cindy Correa said they will be hosting their wreath-laying memorial service from 10.45 am at the Weeping Mothers Memorial at Littleton Park.

“The president will open the ceremony with a speech and at 11 o’clock there will be a one-minute silence,” Ms Correa said.

Board Member of the Gatton RSL Allen Harwood said Remembrance Day is about hon-

ouring the memories of those who sacrificed so much.

“It brings back memories and comradeship,” Mr Harwood said.

“Tears come to the eyes, believe me, when you remember your mates.”

Committee inquiry begins

The State Development and Regional Industries Committee (SDRIC) is taking its first steps in their inquiry into the functions of the Office of the Independent Assessor.

The Committee has agreed to the request by the Deputy Premier and has fully adopted the suggested terms of reference.

“One of the first steps will be to get full briefings from the local government Department and the Office of the Independent Assessor,” said Chris Whiting MP. The Office of the Independent Assessor was established in 2018 and investigates and assesses complaints about councillor conduct.

The SDRIC Committee will inquire into and report on the functions of the Independent Assessor, particularly whether its performance and functions are consistent with the intent of the local government complaints system.

“We are also calling for submissions from key stakeholders, including all local government authorities in Queensland,” Mr Whiting said.

“I would like to see the

State Development and Regional Industries Committee chair Chris Whiting MP will lead the committee’s inquiry into the role of the Independent Assessor.

Committee hold public hearings in different areas of Queensland early in 2022.”

With four of the six members bringing a collective 49 years of local government experience to the table, Mr Whiting said the committee is well suited to

holding the inquiry.

“We intend to approach this inquiry in a calm and collected way,” he said.

“There will be many issues to consider, and a lot of submissions to carefully assess.”

Member for Lockyer Jim

McDonald welcomed the government’s decision to see the inquiry.

“We will be working hard to make it as transparent as possible, to ensure both councillors and the community have confidence in the process,” he said.

Committee members are Chair Chris Whiting MP (Bancroft), Deputy Chair Jim McDonald MP (Lockyer), Michael Hart MP (Burleigh), Robbie Katter MP (Traeger), Jim Madden MP (Ipswich West), and Tom Smith MP (Bundaberg).

Truck drivers fast-tracked COVID-19 results A new pathology collection box at Gatton Hospital gets truck drivers back on the road sooner after their COVID-19 tests.

Truck drivers who cross the Queensland border are required to return a negative PCR test result every 7 days, which was causing delays to the industry each

weekend when some clinics and laboratories were closed.

Now, drivers can put their self-testing swabs into the box and get their results sooner.

West Moreton Health COVID-19 Executive Lead Matthew Tallis said the trucking industry had

asked the health service to help truckies meet their requirements without the downtime.

“We have been working with Sullivan Nicolaides Pathology (SNP), who have agreed to do the analysis on weekends,” Mr Tallis said.

“We could not provide ser-

vices like this to Gatton’s large trucking community without this wonderful support from our partners.

The Pathology Collection Box is located at the entrance to the loading dock doors at Gatton Hospital.

Couriers will collect the swabs at 1.30pm on Saturdays and Sundays.

Tests that arrive in the box after this time on Sundays will be collected by Gatton Hospital staff and sent to SNP along with weekday tests.

Drivers can contact the Gatton Hospital Emergency Department on (07) 5468 4139 with any questions.

Linville festival a great day Close to 200 people enjoyed the Linville Landcare Festival on Saturday 6 November.

Jason Murphy welcomed all to Jinibara country and Deputy Mayor Helen Brieschke opened the festival. The festival captured the imagination of both local residents as well as people from as far away as Brisbane.

Participants appreciated the community feel of the festival and one visitor described the speakers as interesting and motivating and pointed out that each of the stalls offered important perspectives.

Sue Cawcutt, secretary of Brisbane Valley – Kilcoy Landcare said their aim was to create an informal opportunity for people to learn about bushfire recovery, to enjoy themselves and connect with others in the community.

“Information about practical, financial and personal help was available,” she said.

A local horticulturist was pleased that the festival gave him useful information about financial assistance, native food plants and beekeeping, as well as the opportunity to enjoy a yarn with people he hadn’t seen in a while.

Hearing about bush tucker foods and watching a demonstration of their use in cooking was very popular with visitors.

Grey Wolf for Cub Jacob Energetic Jacob Whittle was awarded his Grey Wolf badge at Glenore Grove Scouts last Wednesday.

The badge is the highest achievement possible in Cubs.

Cub leaders Tanya Mail said Jacob is ‘balls of energy.’

“During Jacob’s time in Cubs he has achieved many things,” Ms Mail said.

“He completed his bronze and silver Boomerang, then we changed to the new program, where he also completed his milestone three.”

Jacob, in his fifth year of Scouts, finds it challenging but rewarding.

“It challenges me and pushes me to my limit,” Jacob said.

A requirement to achieve the Grey Wolf is to organise and complete a hike.

Reaching the end of the trek in the national park, Jacob broke into a run to get to the end of the 12km.

“I felt great, accomplished,” he said on completing the hike.

Swimming, archery,

rock-climbing and soccer are Jacobs’ favourite Scouts activities.

Jacob’s mother Donna Whittle said she was ‘incredibly proud’ of her son.

“I’ve seen a massive change in him,” she said.

“He’s more willing to get out there and give it a go.”

Both of Jacob’s parents and his sister are also in Scouts.

Blenheim State School take out school science challenge

BY SAM DANIELS

Blenheim State School is educating the female scientists of tomorrow after their allgirl team took out the Faith Lutheran College Plainlands Science Challenge.

With six local primary schools taking part, using test tubes and wearing lab coats were new experiences for students from Blenheim.

The students said the day was about much more than pure scientific knowledge, requiring their skills in teamwork, time management and problem-solving as they were shown around the college, allowing them to get an understanding of what high school life is like.

Student Elleira Woods said when the results were calculated at the end of the day, the team froze for a second upon realising that Blenheim State School was the winner.

“I want to discover a way to clean up the world,” she

Scarlett Blackwell said she has dreams of being an astrophysicist.

“I want to discover new planets and become well known,” she said.

Scarlett Fisher said she mostly just wants to be

happy.

“Today there is so much disease and people having to wear masks, if I become a scientist, I want to find a cure,” she said.

Undoubtedly, the students’ recent experience and success in the Faith Science Challenge has given them time to consider what their future in a science field might allow.

Boost for regional culture, heritage and art The Federal Government has announced the new $3 million Culture, Heritage and Arts Regional Tourism (CHART) program to be delivered in 2021 22.

Teens lend a hand to help the hungry High school students are learning the value of volunteering and getting an insight into the community by helping pack food hampers.

A small group of year 9 students from Lockyer District High School visit the Gatton Food Pantry, based in the Seventh Day Adventist Church, every Wednesday to help pack food hampers for those in the community who are in need.

Project co-ordinator for the Lockyer Food Pantry Darryl Groves said his wife Arglagene Groves saw an opportunity for students.

“Because Arlagene is a chaplain at the school, and she’s on the board of the Food Pantry, she saw this could be an avenue to help the school and the kids,” he said.

“The school’s been fantastic in putting it together with [chaplain] Doug and Arlagene.”

Lockyer District High School junior youth support coordinator Costa Charalambous brings four or five students to the community centre every Wednesday.

“We come down for an hour during our BBA class,” he said.

The ‘Belong, Believe, Achieve’ classes are a personal development

and work experience opportunity for the students.

“This is about belonging to our community, their achieving something by volunteering, and getting experience,” Mr Charalambous said.

Mr Groves said the Food Pantry packs between 130 and 150 food hampers per week for Gatton and Laidley.

Student Hayden Gill was surprised to find how in demand the food hampers are.

“It’s actually surprising how many people in the community need this service,” he said.

“It’s opened my mind to a lot of new things.”

Student Tiffany Taylor was also surprised at the volume.

“I was actually surprised at how many [hampers] there were, I didn’t think there would be a lot,” she said.

Mr Charalambous said the students have shown enthusiasm for helping out.

“I have kids who want to come back every single week,” Mr “It’s very much been an eye opener for these kids.

“It’s brought about some really Lockyer District High School year 9 students are helping pack food hampers at Gatton’s Food Pantry. good discussions.”

The Men’s shed bounces back

BY GRACE CRICHTON

Nearing two years at their new home in picturesque Tallegalla, the Rosewood Men’s Shed have worked hard to make the premises a thriving hub for local men.

President Karl Wesner said they are leasing the property and hope to be there for a decade.

“We were given a lease to this property by New Hope Mines, and they were very generous and gave us a five year peppercorn lease with an extension of five years,” Mr Wesner said.

In the short time they have been there, the men have completed some extensive renovations including adding disability access, a fully renovated bathroom, and a new

deck out the front.

Their time in the new space has not been without its hurdles.

“This time last year we were cleaned out,” Mr

Wesner said.

“Old rusty screws, nails, bolts, they took everything.”

The members worked hard to get back on their feet and thanks to donations and fund-

raising they have built their inventory back up.

Neighbouring men’s sheds have lent a hand with surplus tools or materials and the local community has been

generous with donations.

Recently, they were donated a handmade quilt from some Gatton locals.

The king-sized quilt will be raffled to raise funds.

The nation-wide Men’s Shed Association aims to provide a place for blokes to socialise and support one another, and the Rosewood shed is no different.

For foundation member and past president Chris Bishop, the shed is a place of camaraderie.

“We try and support each other, we sit down and have a yarn and a cup of coffee,” he said.

Now the men want others to share the space.

“We’re open to sharing our shed with other interested groups,” Mr Wesner said.

Esk singers’ top grades Members of Esk Community Choir treated audiences to an afternoon of entertainment at their ‘Holy, Hallowed and H’Outrageous’ high tea at the Civic Centre last weekend.

The performance was a more than an entertainment, however, as the concert was part of a singing exam.

An unprecedented number of candidates put up their hands to sit for the Concert Certificate Performance exams and two Grade Singing exams under the adjudication of Matthews Tyson.

The director and owner of St Cecilia School of Music has visited Esk for many years for local singers to sit their examinations.

Under the direction of Esk Community Choir’s director Alexis Fitzgerald and accompanied by pianist Margaret Philp, the choir performed songs by Lyn Williams, Gluck, Mozart, John Rutter, David Haas, Lerner and Lowe and a medley from the great American Songbook of Broadway tunes.

In his evaluation of this performance, Mr Tyson said the discipline, stage craft and dress of

the performers was ‘immaculate.’

“A very disciplined and developed choral ensemble,” he said.

“Excellent choice of items which were all appropriate to the strength of the choir.”

The ensemble achieved a higher

distinction with a score of 98%.

The choir will finish the year with their annual Christmas Concert on December 5.

The finishing touches are complete on the C17 locomotive mural on the rail trail at Lowood.

The mural, painted on the side of a shipping container to house tools for landscaping, was created by Fernvale Artists group and officially unveiled in March.

The final work was completed by volunteer Sid Clark last week.

He painted the rear side of the container green to compliment the green surrounds of the rail trail and the neighbouring fairways of the golf club.

With the final work now complete on the art project, the volunteers who contributed to resettling and refurbishing the contained along with the artists who created the historic C17 train hope the work will capture the interest of many rail trail users and enthusiasts.

Placid Hills Halloween

It was a successful Seniors Month for Gatton COTA who were waited on by councillors.

BY SAM DANIELS

Halloween decorations were taken to new heights this year after the Orchard family’s extravagant frights and delights garnered hundreds of visitors and raised money for Gatton Veterans charity, Bootstraps.

Tara Orchard said the decorating was natural, with children Kobi, Kao and Aliyah and her parents Julie and Geoff, having always enjoyed going all-out on past Halloween displays.

“We’ve only just moved to the area, and we were planning on decorating for Halloween anyway, and then we just decided let’s go bigger because this house was bigger,” Tara said.

The family decided to put the display, which took months of planning and attracted over a thousand visitors, to good use.

“We’ve always supported Veterans charities in the past, and we thought why not make it a gold coin dona-

councillors and students from Lockyer District High School who wanted to be involved in the event.

Lucky Door prizes and raffles raised $492 for school chaplaincy.

Later in the month the seniors held a high tea at the senior citizens centre.

To coincide with Mental Health Week, the theme was purple and green.

Sixty people attended, dressed to the nines, and enjoyed finger food, a fashion parade, and musical entertainment.

The high tea raised $852 for Mental Health Week.

Top talkers: Lockyer Valley Toastmasters compete

Lockyer Valley Toastmasters members competed in the Area 11 Speech Contest in Ipswich on Saturday, going toe-to-toe in public speaking against contestants from four Ipswich-based clubs.

The four speech contests were held in front of a live audience, made up of Toastmasters from across southeast Queensland.

Contestants Miriam Lewis of Blenheim, Cristine Wilkins of Mount Sylvia, Grace Crichton of Gatton and Graeme Becker of Ropeley each participated.

Ms Crichton won the Best Humorous speaker and will now go on to represent Lockyer Valley Toastmasters Club and Area 11 in the Western Division Speech Contests in Stan-

thorpe in February 2022.

Ms Lewis placed third in the Table Topics Contest.

She had to deliver a 1-2-minute impromptu response to the statement, “with a jolt”.

Ms Wilkins competed in the Evaluation contest, which involved listening to a test speaker and then deliver a 2-to-3-minute evaluation of the strengths and

weaknesses of the speech while offering a couple of areas for improvement.

Club President Graeme Becker rose to the challenge in the International Speech Contest, delivering a speech titled ‘Schooling from the clouds’ about an American aviator, Fred Hargesheimer who was shot down over PNG in World War II.

“Without these people, all the volunteers – it’s amazing how much they help.”

Finally she thanked everyone who attended the show.

“We were so appreciative of the people who came and supported.”

Ma Ma Creek concert for drought relief

BY GRACE CRICHTON

Ma Ma Creek will set the stage for the debut performance of The Ambreys on Saturday.

The Rosewood family band are putting on a concert with dinner as a fundraiser for drought relief in the Lockyer Valley.

Vocalist Gabriella Ambrey said their music spans several genres.

“We’re country, blue-grass, folk, a little bit of gospel, and some arrangements of pop songs,” she said.

“But there’s definitely country vibe.”

Gabriella, 20, is joined by older sisters Ashleigh, 27, on the banjo and Maddy, 24, on guitar and fiddle.

Rounding out the band are the younger Ambreys.

The Ambreys will perform on Saturday at Ma Ma Creek hall to fundraise for drought relief. Photo: contributed.

Elly, 15, on the mandolin and 11-year-old Oliver on the rattle stick.

“We also have a friend coming with us as well, Louise, and she’s going to be playing the double bass for us,” Maddy said.

This will be the first time the Rosewood family have

put on a concert.

Ashley, Maddy and Elly busked at the Ma Ma Creek markets and were invited back by the Ma Ma Creek Community Hall.

“This is our first performance all together,” Gabriella said.

“We’ll have arrangements

of both instrumental and vocal pieces.

“We all have a couple of solo pieces as well.

“There’s quite a few that we do all together, then a few of us will have a solo of duet.”

Car tour to raise awareness of CCP A cavalcade of cars drove through Gatton as part of the Queensland leg of a global initiative to end the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) influence.

Former USQ lecturer in Chinese studies Yan Zhao said the ‘End the Evil CCP’ car tour was to raise public awareness and a reminder of the impact the CCP’s actions have globally.

“The CCP has not only subjected the Chinese people to its tyrannical rule but also is also trying to dominate the world bullying and threats,” she said.

Dr David Yu, a Falun Gong practitioner, who suffered persecution by CCP, joined the car tour to show his support.

“I suffered like millions of others under the brutal regime of the CCP,” he said.

“Simply because I practice Falun Gong and believe in the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, I was unlawfully arrested, jailed, and subjected to torture.

“Once I was shocked by prison guards with six electric batons for about an hour, and I almost died.

“The CCP is very evil, and it must be put to an end.”

While driving through the streets of Gatton, some locals showed their support by giving the thumbs up or waving hands.

The End CCP car tours are currently driving across multiple cities in Australia, New Zealand, USA, Canada and Europe.

Since January, the car tour has passed through SE Queensland, including Brisbane, Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast.

You're invited to attend the Centenary celebrations December 5 • Sunday • 11:30 am ■ Main Street, Coominya Archbishop Mark Coleridge will be celebrating Mass followed by lunch in the church grounds Please RSVP to Chris 0407 132 700 by 19 November

Climate workshops for farmers Healthy Land and Water is hosting a series of free Drought and Climate Adaptation workshops in November in Toogoolawah and Lowood for graziers and dairy and fodder producers.

The workshops are part of Healthy Land and Water’s Drought and Climate Adaptation program, which is helping farmers better prepare for and respond to drought and extreme climate events by providing key information and practical advice to help with decision making and management.

The popular drought workshops give attendees a wealth of information about climate and land management, and the tools and planning support available to help landholders identify and manage risk.

They are also supported to incorporate learnings into their property management plans to build resilience to drought and climate impacts, in their soils, pastures and farming systems.

The workshops build on local experience to help landholders understand and identify risks of longer-term climate impacts to their farming enterprises and develop adaptation strategies and plans and transformative natural resource management practices for their properties.

A popular part of the workshops is an informative

session on the main climate drivers in the region, the current seasonal outlook, historic rainfall patterns, and latest forecasting information and tools to help inform planning and management decisions.

The workshops are delivered by a line-up of expert guest speakers from the

Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries. the University of Southern Queensland - Centre for Applied Climate Science (USQ ClimateMates) and project team members from the Drought and Climate Adaptation Program. The program is being delivered in partnership with these groups as well

as industry and community groups and regional councils.

This program is being hosted by Healthy Land and Water, through funding provided from the Australian Government’s Future Drought Fund.

Somerset Mayor Graeme Lehmann said Council was delighted to use some of its

drought communities funding to support Healthy Land and Water’s very important workshops.

“Agriculture is the Lockyer and Somerset’s largest industry and our farmers have been feeling the impacts from the ongoing drought for years,” he said.

“Learning additional skills

to adapt to a changing environment will help them build more resilience into their farming practices over the long-term.”

The Toogoolawah workshop is on November 22 at the Toogoolawah Golf Club.

The Lowood workshop is on November 24 at the Lowood Golf Club.

Stanbroke crowned beef champ The 2021 Darling Downs Beef Battle was on again this October and returning champions, Stanbroke Beef, successfully defended their title for a second year.

The event showcases the best beef in the Darling Downs region, with the best grain fed beef brands all vying for the title.

After a blind taste test from the 350 attendees, Stanbroke Beef was again awarded the championship, making them the first back-to-back winners.

This year’s Stanbroke Beef was a Diamantina Wagyu and was cooked under the supervision of Alastair McLeod.

In second place was Mort and Co’s Phoenix label, while Stockyard Beef with its Stockyard Beef’s Gold Label was third.

TSBE Food Leaders Australia general manager, Bruce McConnel, said the event consumed 850 kilograms of branded beef

representing eight brands.

“This event is now the largest taste testing competition in the southern hemisphere,” Mr McConnel said.

“The closeness in scores indicated the first-class qualities of all the entries in the competition, which showcased the Darling Downs as the beef capital of Australia.

“I know there are some Central Queensland people here that will argue that but 65 percent of Australia’s red meat production is within three hours of here,” Mr McConnel said.

Stanbroke Sales Manager, Mark Harris, said the team was delighted to have defended their crown.

“We’re absolutely thrilled to have won among such strong competition,” he said.

“It’s a testament to everyone through Stanbroke’s supply chain.”

Shop locally in ‘Your Town’ and keep the Valley thriving It’s everyone’s job to support the local economy and that’s why Lockyer Valley Regional Council is once again partnering with the region’s business community to promote the ‘buy local’ message.

Given small businesses are the hubs of local communities, Lockyer Valley Regional Council Mayor Tanya Milligan says the message is an important one.

“Local businesses have faced many challenges operating throughout the ongoing global pandemic, and I would like to challenge our residents to spend your money here and endorse local,” she said.

“This will secure jobs and build a more sustainable, vibrant future for our region.

“With the festive season just around the corner, I ask everyone to think of local businesses and support them with whatever purchases they can.”

Council is the Foundation Sponsor of the ‘Your Town’ initiative which is designed

to foster the economic prosperity of the region by encouraging people to shop local.

“When you support ‘Your Town’ and shop local it helps to keep jobs local and strengthen the long-term economic future of the Lockyer Valley,” Cr Milligan said.

“This year has well and truly flown by and the continued impacts of the lingering global pandemic are very real.

“When you choose to shop local, you are not only getting a boutique shopping experience, but also supporting local families.

“This keeps jobs local and strengthens the longterm economic future of the Lockyer Valley.”

Earlier this year, council endorsed a new Economic Development Strategy 2021 - 2026, which is driven by a shared vision with the organisation’s strategic partners to

promote, facilitate and enable a diverse, resilient, prosperous, and connected business community with an emphasis on opportunities to ‘buy local.’

Cr Milligan said council remained committed to working with the local business community.

“Shopping local means supporting local jobs, keeping local jobs and cementing the economic prosperity of the region,” she said.

“Due to the multiplier effect, every dollar spent locally creates an additional $7 in our local economy – those figures really do speak for themselves.

“We want to make the Lockyer Valley a better place to live, work and play, but to do that we need to create jobs and encourage local businesses to grow and prosper.”

The Visitor Information Centre at Lake Apex is home local products and Lockyer Valley gift cards to purchase.

Loving local spans generations Emily Hallas often hears the phrase ‘born and bred in the Lockyer Valley’ from many locals who still call it home.

It’s a phrase spoken with heart, pride, and passion.

“That’s what it means to us to be a part of the wonderful community,” Emily said.

The fourth-generation Lockyer Valley local knows what it means to love the town you’re in.

With mother Kylie Hallas, the pair help locals and newcomers find a new place to call home in the Lockyer Valley.

“All Property Real Estate is all about people,” Emily said.

“We wouldn’t have a successful company without our loyal community.

“One of the best moments

we experience is locals trusting us and our service to know they have placed their property in safe hands.”

Emily said their results speak louder than words as referrals begin to flutter around the Valley, continuing the growth of the Gatton business.

“Being a local in our strong and supportive community is a bonus to our relaxed, country lifestyle here in the Lockyer Valley,” Emily said.

“You know you can rely on the locals to help you even when you least expect it.”

Kylie echoed the benefits of this mutual support and said by supporting the community you are building a stronger community.

“It’s about all sticking together,” Kylie said.

Selling a Lifestyle the Locals Love in our Lockyer Valley!" "

“The more support, the stronger the foundations.”

Kylie and Emily said they are ‘beyond proud’ to provide local service to their every-growing community.

“We want to thank each and every one of you for past, present and future business,” Emily said.

Derek Pingel has been a local businessman for 42 years.

“Married for 42, been in business for 42, but I’ve lived here all my life,” Derek said.

He said one of the most important things he has learned in his career is businesses succeed when they’re invested in their town.

“In my experience, if you ignore the town businesses and try to do everything outside of town then you don’t get buy-in or loyalty from the broad spectrum of businesses in your town,” he said.

“Whatever we do, if it’s procurable here, we’ll go here.”

The Lockyer Trailers owner’s advice for fellow business owners is to never underestimate the power of word of mouth.

A referral or recommendation for your business is worth its weight in gold, but you must put in the effort.

“If you don’t build that rapport in town, and you didn’t have that business support – and it’s a two-way street – that wouldn’t happen, and they won’t you,” he said.

Derek Pingel buys from other local businesses wherever possible.

“But you had better have good customer service in the first place.”

The value of good customer service is one he has learned in his decades in business.

“Over 42 years, the one thing I’ve learned is customer service beats price every

time,” he said.

Derek said Your Town campaign brings businesses together.

“It shows the different business and the variety of businesses we have,” he said.

“Don’t discount what we’ve got right under our nose because it’s amazing.”

Gatton Real Estate is a third generation real estate business founded by local George Hallas in partnership in 1974 and is operated by his daughter and granddaughter Rhonda McLucas and Allison Vinckier - locals their whole lives.

Rhonda and her team of 12 all live in the Lockyer Valley with their own families who are all invested in the local community and the performance of the local real estate market.

Gatton Real Estate take pride in delivering exceptional results to their clients and understand that every decision you make in relation to real estate is significant. They know that your homes and investment properties are often your biggest assets, and treat such decisions with the respect they deserve, listening to your story and giving the best real estate advice possible.

Rhonda and the team truly care about each and every client's outcome, so whether you want to buy, sell or rent, come and see us at Gatton Real Estate.

There’s so much right here

Gatton Real Estate has always been a family owned and locally operated business since its inception in 1984, by current owner Rhonda McLucas’ father George Hallas.

Rhonda is joined by her daughter Allison Vinckier and their team of locals, giving prospective homeowners and newcomers a unique insight to life in the valley.

Rhonda has seen an influx of people from ‘everywhere’ looking to make the Lockyer Valley their home.

“We’re getting southerners, people from the coast, people from all over the place,” she said.

While they are choosing the convenience of living within driving distance of Toowoomba, Brisbane and

the coast, it’s the lifestyle they are coming for.

“It’s still country and they’re still in an area where it’s not spoilt yet by too much of everything.”

However, Rhonda always stresses how much is available right here in town.

“With everyone time-poor, it’s better to have convenience where you are,” she said.

For newcomers to Gatton and the Lockyer Valley, Rhonda likes to show them around town and highlight just how many shops and services are available in the town.

“Whenever I get a new person in from out of town, I like to tell them you don’t have to go far,” Rhonda said.

“Walk around the streets

Rhonda McLucas

and you’ve got a lot of shops that have a different variety of things.

“You have got a good shopping centre here in Gatton, there aren’t a lot of things that you have to go out of town for.”

Shopping local comes down to keeping locals in jobs.

“We have to look after everybody.”

The team at Ray Bachmann Real Estate

Always look in town first Ramon Bachmann is a proud local.

The Laidley business owner grew up in Lockyer Valley and has proudly run his father’s long-established real estate business for several years.

The late Ray Bachmann asked his son to join the family business over 20 years ago.

“I started off as a cabinet maker, then worked on farms, which I’ve always loved because I grew up on a farm,” he said.

“I was sort of floating along in life… then Dad roped me in and said ‘come down and try it.’”

He started as a property manager before moving to sales and has worked selling slices of country living in the Lockyer Valley ever since.

“I think I had the gift of the gab from the start, which I learnt off Dad,” he said.

Ramon said knowing the area and his local community is vital to his job.

“Everywhere I go, I tell people where I am from and what we have here,” he said.

“It’s important to me to promote our area.”

He said a little research can go a long way when it comes to supporting businesses in your town.

“Investigate your options,” he said.

“Look in town first before you go elsewhere because we have a lot more than people think.”

Keeping business local is worth it John Schollick has called the Lockyer Valley home for over twenty-five years and truly believes in backing local businesses.

With a long involvement with the Chamber of Commerce and several businesses operating successfully in the area, he’s made it his mission to back local initiatives.

“It’s hugely important that we have a thriving business community,” he said.

“Personally, I shop locally wherever I can because I need their support in turn.”

The owner of Lockyer Regional Water Distribution knows the region has done it tough over the past few years, but sees these hardships as a key reason why businesses communities need to band together.

“It’s really brought home to me the importance of working together,” he said.

“We need to work closely together and shop local, instead of going to the cities and big box stores or online, to help the shops and services bounce back.

“Otherwise country towns like ours simply won’t survive.”

He urges individuals to look at the bigger picture and not just the bottom line.

“You might be able to get something cheaper at a shopping centre,” he said.

“And I know everyone is doing it tough, but think of the time and the fuel it would take you to travel to Ipswich or Toowoomba, not to mention paying for parking.

“Is it worth the saving?

“You’re better off paying a little bit extra at a shop in your own town instead of travelling.

“You save yourself time and fuel costs plus you’re

making a family business in your town thrive – not contributing to some CEO’s Christmas bonus.”

Likewise, businesses should be looking at home first before they make purchases.

“Whether its products or services, when you’ve got a business to run you have to spend money,” John said.

“It’s even more important that business purchases be made with other local businesses, because how can you expect people to support you in return if you’re not going to support your neighbour.”

John is proud to call the Lockyer Valley home.

“It’s a beautiful place, why would you want to live anywhere else.

“Why wouldn’t we want to keep this beautiful piece of country thriving, not just surviving.”

Shop locally in ‘Your Town,’ the benefits are many

BY BRUCE HORROCKS

Today we launch ‘Your Town’- a shop locally promotion where we encourage all residents to shop in your town this Christmas. Yes, as the Christmas silly season approaches, we encourage you to shop locally, and the benefits will stimulate the community. Whether your town is Gatton, Laidley, Lowood, Forest Hill, Fernvale, Esk or the plethora of smaller towns and villages across our vast coverage area, we encourage you to support your local businesses. Small business in our area has done it pretty tough lately. We’ve had droughts, fires and then the pandemic hit in

2020 and now many small businesses are struggling to get consistent stock levels due to shortages caused by the pandemic. So in the face of the big box retailers and online shopping we are helping local business fight back.

Your Town is a promotion where every purchase in the list of participating ‘Your Town’ stores will earn you a ticket in the draw. Each store will have its own entry criteria so when you make a purchase at a participating store be sure to get your entry for one of six $1000 gift cards to be spent at those participating stores.

There are many benefits to shopping locally, apart from the money coming back and

Grace Crichton and Bruce Horrocks of The Independent are excited to launch ‘Your Town.’

stimulating our local economy there is the service aspect.

If the product breaks, doesn’t

suit the purpose or simply is faulty, you can exchange for a new one with a minimum

of fuss. Without the hassles of getting it back to the manufacturer. In most cases you

will know the people behind the shop counter so it is a breeze to do business. These are the people you will see at the local schools, the football or cricket on Saturday and you may even run into them at church on Sunday. They are truly local businesses who will go the extra mile to keep you coming back. Just give them a go. So we ask you to shop locally between November 10 and December 15 and you just might get a bonus of an extra $1000 to spend in ‘Your Town’ just in time for Christmas.

WHERE CAN I SUBMIT MY ENTRY FORM? LAIDLEY LIBRARY Spicer St, Laidley

New car sales decrease in October

CONTRIBUTED

The Australian automotive market recorded sales of 74,650 new vehicles which is a decrease of 8.1% on October 2020 figures.

This decrease represents the impact of ongoing microprocessor shortages on international supply chains, but the supply of vehicles to Australia is expected to stabilize in 2022.

Queensland recorded 10.3% fewer vehicles sold on October 2020 figures.

FCAI Chief Executive Tony Weber said it was clear manufacturers were having challenges with supply chains.

“Automotive manufacturers, like all those in the global manufacturing sector, are dealing with a microprocessor shortage

Year-on-year car sales are down across the country this month, but the Ford Ranger remains the highest selling model.

which is leading to longer wait times to get products to market,” Mr Weber said.

Australians are continuing to purchase vehicles, and carmakers are working

to deliver products to our shores.”

While sales were down

overall, the number of electric vehicles sold continues to rise.

This correlates with more State and Territory incentives for EVs coming online throughout the country.

Toyota was the market leader in October with 15,395 vehicles sold.

This was followed by Hyundai with 6,115 and Ford with 5,462. Mazda was fourth place selling 5,181 cars and Kia came in fifth with 4,853.

The Ford Ranger was the highest selling model with 4,135 sold.

The Toyota Hi-Lux came in second with 3,961 and the Toyota Landcruiser was third with 2,031 vehicles in the hands of customers.

This was followed by the Toyota Corolla with 1,989 sold, and the Hyundai i30 with 1,946 sold.

Unmatched Chev a head-turner Randall Haswell has a lifelong passion for ‘rev-head’ sports.

The retired mechanic ran a very competitive race car team for many years in the Sports Sedan Series in a VL Commodore with a 700HP Nascar motor (2005-2015).

There has always been a car with a Chevy badge in Randall’s shed.

“I knew a heap of old boys that do hotrod cruising days out, so that’s where the 1941 Chev Coupe came in,” he said.

He had just sold his Camaro and came upon the 1941 Chevrolet Special Deluxe Coupe that fit the bill.

“I was quick to make an offer and I drove it home that day,” he said.

The first Australian owner was Ray Bowles who purchased the car and imported it from the USA for his wife Maryanne.

The original restoration build was done in the States with 2ND Chance Customs in Las Vegas.

It was a show winner in the USA several times before Ray brought the hotrod down under.

This original full steel-bodied car, beautifully painted in PPG ‘Deep Rose’, has it all.

An Edelbrock 350 Vortec crate motor supports 2 x 4 barrel carbs and roller camshaft.

The all-custom interior upgrades were completed

by Kingaroy Upholstery, including Toyota Lexus bucket seats for comfort and

an embossed Chevy badge in the boot.

“I put many hours into sorting the small things up to standard to make sure it’s a comfortable and reliable cruising machine,” Randall said.

“There are a couple more changes I’d like to do in the near future.”

He plans to swap out the current brakes for a new front disc brake set up and there’s the possibility of a supercharger in the hotrod’s future.

It’s not every day that car enthusiasts would get to see one of these 1941 Chevy Coupes in this condition cruising down the road.

“It’s a great car that gets heads turning everywhere I go,” Randall said.

Nissan releases an updated MY22 to celebrate 20 years of the X-Trail

Celebrating 20 Years of X-Trail Nissan is celebrating 20 years of the X-Trail in Australia with a very special birthday present — an updated MY22 model that delivers even more safety features, along with the introduction of an entirely new variant, the ST+.

The feature-packed ST+ will form a new step between the ST and the ST-L grades, and offers an increased active safety package and more cabin technology.

Available in two- or four-wheel drive, the new ST+ does exactly what its name suggests, adding to the already well-equipped ST grade with new safety and technology features, like an Around View Monitor with Moving Object Detection and Satellite Navigation.

The new grade is joined by an increased safety offering across the ST-L and TI grades, with both X-Trail variants now offering front parking sensors for the first time.

This update follows a similar equipment upgrade delivered in February 2021, which saw the X-Trail equipped with Nissan’s

PAGE 47

next-generation infotainment system, including the addition of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, displayed through a new 7.0-inch touchscreen with updated graphics.

The Nissan X-Trail is available with a 2.0-litre petrol engine in manual-equipped ST grades, and with a powerful 2.5-litre petrol engine in all other variants.

The 2.0-litre petrol engine boasts 106kW of power and 200Nm of torque while the more powerful 2.5-litre alternative has 126kW of power and 233Nm of torque.

The 2.5-litre engine is available in all grades, and offers a strong blend of performance and efficiency, consuming as little as 7.9L/100km on a combined cycle in the 2WD X-Trail ST The two petrol-powered variants of the Nissan X-Trail have a 60-litre fuel tank.

The 2WD-only 2.0-litre powered X-Trail ST uses a smooth-shifting six-speed manual transmission, whereas all 2.5-litre variants (available in both 2WD and 4WD) are mated to Nissan’s Xtronic CVT with manual mode.

The passing of the torch Barry Niemeyer was an icon of the Gatton Real Estate community, and his passing earlier this year was felt by everyone who knew the Elders' patriarch.

Whether it's on the sporting field or in the business arena, it's a pretty hard gig following a true legend of their game, but it's a challenge new Elders principal Ros Burton is ready to take on.

"Barry has created the strongest of reputations in the Lockyer and we hope to continue that deep connection he's had with the local community," Mrs Burton said.

No stranger to the real estate industry herself, Mrs Burton is also the principal of Gatton's Rangecrest Realty and The Real Estate People in Toowoomba.

She will now take over the reins of the Elders franchise, which will merge with the successful Rangecrest office.

The new enterprise will trade out of the current Elders premises in Railway Street, with exciting plans in the works which will be revealed following the Christmas break.

"I've said this in the past and it certainly rings true today - there's always a juggling act with growing a business - you have to be so careful that there's no customer disconnect," Mrs Burton said.

"You want your family to stay a family.

"As in any business, you develop a strong relationship with your clients over the years and they can sometimes be worried that things will change when a merger like ours happens.

"Some customers fear they'll be forgotten or ignored as new staff get to know them or if office procedures change.

"But I can assure everyone, that won't be a problem because we're very happy to have Wendy and Maree Mitchell staying on with the agency, as well as Linda George and Julieanne Denman; and our own

Rangecrest staff Anna Ratcliffe, Melissa Moriarty and Julie Jones will also remain part of the team.

"We're also excited to have long-term local of more than 30 years, Mellissa Meldrum joining our sales team.

"I know they'll all be able to make this changeover seamless and are integral to a smooth transition for Elders and Rangecrest customers - whether they be buying, selling or renting," Mrs Burton said.

"It's always comforting to have a familiar voice on the end of the phone or that

same friendly smile when you walk in the door, so we're definitely excited to be able to retain their services and utilise their vast experience and knowledge.

Mrs Burton believes "change simply for the sake of change" is a dangerous path to tread.

"Sure, I want my business to be the most successful it can be, but at the same time I don't want to compromise Elders proven customer service model.

"What's the good of growing at warp speed if you're going to destroy all the relationships and goodwill you've been building for so many years?

"Whether they number 10 or 10,000, our valued customers, tenants and landlords (our family) are the sole reason we're in business - they deserve our full attention and support 24/7, because looking after properties - whether through sales or property management - is why we open our doors each day," Mrs Burton said.

"The Elders name is synonymous with the rural sector and we are very excited to now be working under such a respected brand.

"Barry has left us some pretty big boots to fill, but I'm confident we'll make he, and the rest of the Niemeyer family, proud with how we take his Elders legacy forward."

Your trusted name in real estate If you're looking to buy, sell or rent then there's only one agency you want behind you - Elders Real Estate Gatton.

With a strong reputation for honesty and integrity and a proven track record of sales, our experienced Gatton team will ensure your selling experience is fast, effective and, most of all, stress-free.

NOVEMBER 8-14, 2021 ARIES

This week stress levels will be high and energy low, as motivation dips and frustration soars. Taskmaster Saturn squares your ruler Mars, which will certainly test your limited patience but – with focus and determination – you’ll navigate your way around any temporary roadblocks. Things improve from Friday onwards. Hopefully you’ll learn some valuable lessons – like slowing down, keeping things in perspective, and calming yourself within.

TAURUS

Stubborn, slow-moving Bulls prefer things to proceed smoothly, with no sudden surprises along the way. However, with Uranus still transiting through your sign, life continues to be a series of ups and downs. Singer-songwriter-musician Neil Young (who was born on November 12, 1945) observes: “As you go through life, you’ve got to see the valleys as well as the peaks.” This week the focus is on relationships, conversation and co-operation. Feel the love, Taurus!

GEMINI

Your ruler Mercury hooks up with Mars on Wednesday, which gives you the motivation to put ideas into practice. And it can also signal a fresh start involving health, work habits or pets. Some vigorous physical exercise will certainly help you bounce through the week with extra Gemini gusto and enthusiasm. But if you don’t communicate clearly, then misunderstandings are likely (especially on the weekend). So think things through before you speak.

CANCER

The planets shine a bright spotlight on partnerships of the romantic, platonic, business and family variety. You are entering a period of nurturing old relationships and establishing new ones. So it’s a wonderful time to focus on friendships, shared hobbies, joint ventures and having fun. As Scorpio birthday great Robert Louis Stevenson observed: “A friend is a gift you give yourself.” But tread carefully when it comes to financial matters.

LEO

Many lively Lions are in for a magical week, as the Sun (your power planet) forms a fabulous flowing aspect with Neptune. So it’s time to be the flamboyant and creative person you were born to be. That doesn’t mean there won’t be problems, challenges or frustrations along the way. But it does mean that your positive attitude and natural enthusiasm will bolster your spirits and enhance the lives of those around you. Prepare to sparkle and shine!

VIRGO

This week there’s a magical connection between the Sun and Neptune, so there is much satisfaction to be gained through contributing your considerable talents to a worthy cause within your neighbourhood community. You really can make a difference if you think global and act local! But relations with a family member or work colleague could be challenging (especially mid-week). So make sure you pick your battles carefully and choose your words wisely.

LIBRA

The flowing Sun-Neptune trine is terrific for flights of imagination, ambitious dreams, creative projects and all forms of self-expression (especially art, music and fashion). However – with Mars, Saturn and Uranus disrupting your money zone – don’t blow the budget by indulging in an impulsive and extravagant spending spree! This week you are faced with a stark choice, Libra … find clever ways to boost cash flow or learn to live within your means.

SCORPIO

Have you been procrastinating about an important issue? Or have you lacked the self-belief to push a project forward? It’s time to be bold, brave and proactive, as the terrific trio of the Sun, Mercury and mighty Mars march through your sign (which only happens every two years). So make the most of this awesome opportunity, Scorpio! Confidence is in and complacency is out, as you go after what you want with plenty of passion, purpose and pizazz.

SAGITTARIUS

If you stir up grievances with an old adversary this week, then you could find you’ve bitten off more than you can comfortably chew! The Sun trines Neptune (on Friday and Saturday) which favours balancing material and spiritual needs. Plus, when it comes to a frustrating problem, avoid quick fixes. You’ll find a satisfactory solution if you act on your hunches, do all the research that’s required, and look for the facts that are hidden beneath the surface.

CAPRICORN

Aim to be more proactive, especially when it comes to networking with friends and colleagues. And don’t let annoying disruptions get you down. No-one wants to be around a grumpy Goat! Instead of brooding when other people don’t understand what you want, tell them exactly what you need. And learn to delegate, de-stress and de-compress. Take some time off so you can enjoy doing the things you love. No-one (not even a capable Capricorn) is indispensable.

AQUARIUS

Unpredictable Uranus (your power planet) is stirring up some shenanigans involving your domestic life, house mates or family members. In order to limit the chance of fiery words and messy misunderstandings, do your best to communicate clearly and carefully.

And remember – when it comes to relationships, you’re not suited to ‘normal’ partnerships (whether of the romantic, platonic or business variety). For quirky Aquarians, ‘weird’ can be wonderful.

PISCES

This week the Sun-Neptune trine inspires you to contemplate and create your future.

Whether you want to travel, build a home, expand your family or change jobs, begin with a dream and then work hard to make it a robust reality. Dreams are wasted if you don’t turn them into productive projects! But a relationship could experience problems as the Saturn squares boost impatience and heighten sensitivities. A healthy dose of Piscean diplomacy will get you through.

The SWB teams from 2021

Girls are doing it for themselves

BY SAM DANIELS

The annual Palmerston Game Fishing Club in the Northern Territory held its Secret Women’s Business (SWB) Barra Challenge fishing competition this September, which is open only to women.

The Challenge, which began back in 2007, was designed to fill a void in the female angling competitive arena and is held at the Corroboree Billabong.

This year, over 160 women making up 43 teams each came together to enjoy a few days of fishing, laughter and friendship.

Among the teams were four local ladies from Mulgowie, Carol Norman, Lisa Mengel, Tanya Garrett and Maree “Chook” O’Sullivan.

Lisa Mengel said the idea to apply for the exclusive event began after the ladies had a few beverages together one night.

“We were just sitting on the verandah and one of the girls said there’s this fishing camp in the territory only for women, we should apply,” she said.

Not thinking they would be accepted to the exclusive, invitation-only event, especially seeing as thousands apply each year, Tanya wrote what Lisa described as a ‘Pulitzer prize-winning application’, and the rest was history.

“Then it all sort of hit us that we actually have to go fishing now, so we had to get organised,” Lisa said.

“We got to Darwin and hired a motor home to do a little bit of touring before we

arrived at our fishing competition and hired a boat.

“Our catchphrase for the trip was ‘all the gear and no idea’ because we hadn’t fished much before this.

“We had a lot of fun and we didn’t do too bad as it turns out, we certainly didn’t come last, which was good.

“It’s the only all women’s fishing competition that’s held in Australia I believe and it’s just an opportunity for the women to get away and have a little bit of fun.

“They were a great bunch of girls, everyone was very welcoming, and I think we were the only interstate team, everybody else was from the territory.”

As for next years trip, Lisa said the girls are planning something different but equally exciting.

Lowood’s Star Players FROM PAGE 64 netball was the most popular for girls,” he said.

“However, neither of these sports were popular for both genders so to choose either would be a decision to automatically exclude half the children and that wasn’t satisfactory.

“Whatever we did, it had to be available to everybody.”

Mr Williams said soccer was the most popular sport played at the school without gender-bias, so the decision was a ‘no-brainer.’

“The academy has since morphed into a soccer and futsal academy,” he said.

The first awards night was also a chance to thank academy sponsors Bendigo Bank, Tyson Foods, Zanows’ Concrete and Quarries, David Grant & Associates, Jim McDonald MP, Heck’s Plant Hire, and the Lowood RSL. Lowood Fernvale Community Bendigo Bank are continuing their sponsorship of the football academy for a further two years.
