Stories from the Dunolly Museum

T

Australia’s First Cistercian Monk

he first Australian born Cistercian Monk was Cornelius John Daly from Dunolly.

The Cistercian Monastery at Beagle Bay near Broome, Western Australia was established by the first Cistercians in Australia. It also served as an Aboriginal Mission.

The Cistercians were here from 1890 un l 1900 when it was transferred to German Pallo nes.

Cornelius John Daly was born near Craigie in 1858. His father Henry O’Brien Daly had a store in Dunolly, which was moved to a rush near Craigie for a short me, before returning to Dunolly. Cornelius went to the Dunolly Common School.

For a while Cornelius ran a wine saloon in a room at his father’s general store in Broadway. In 1883, Cornelius and his younger brother Thomas le Dunolly to farm some land in the Kimberleys.

The farming was not successful so in 1887 Cornelius joined the West Australian police force.

Three years later he was

assigned as a guide and guard to the two French monks looking for a place to set up their monastery.

Cornelius had an epiphany. He

quit the police and became the first Australian Cistercian monk.

He became Brother Xavier.

It would appear he learnt French and the local Aboriginal languages.

In 1900 the Cistercians le Australia and set up a new monastery in Pales ne. Daly went with them. In 1915 they had to flee the Turkish Army. For the remainder of the war, they found refuge in Italy.

Daly made his way to the Cistercian Monastery in Northern France. He remained here for the rest of his life dying 17th October 1934 aged 76. He was buried there in the Monas c Cemetery.

Mary Durack wrote about him: – “Daly was strong and prac cal experienced in bushcra and stock. He could handle a team or a boat, had a good knowledge of the dal and clima c hazards of the coast and enough educa on to act as secretary and execu ve for the monks in their local nego a ons.”

A couple of frosts lately just to remind us that winter is nearly here.

It seems to be plover season again. There are a lot of pairs around town. (Masked Lapwings, I should say).

Niece Ramble came and took me out on Mother's Day. We went to the market at Maldon.

It was a lovely day for a stroll around an interes ng lot of stalls, mostly handmade or home grown.

I came home with a small bag of tasty li le potatoes, a jar of pumpkin chutney (which is delicious) and three pot plants.

I do not need more pot plants but what is a visit to a market if one does not come home with you.

We had to go to Castlemaine for lunch - the cafes in Maldon were full and overflowing, and parking places non-existent.

We had lunch at a shop called The Tender Chook, very busy, both take away or eat in.

Needless to men on, we ate a very tasty chook.

I enjoyed the day and the though ulness of my niece.

Don't forget the Cuppa for Cancer at the Op Shop on Thursday.

Central Gold ields Residents and Ratepayers Assoc. Inc. Over the next few weeks, there are several events Council has organized where the community can actually par cipate or interact with Council representa ves. This is a very heartening thing to see from our Council and Councillors, who, a er 30 months are now permi ng the community to ac vely par cipate, if not, please ask ques ons. Now we wait to see if they actually listen.

1- Re: the Budget. Two sessions where the community can “listen” to the Council’s version of it.

Council has not responded as to whether the community can actually ask ques ons. So, this is shaping up to being an informa on and not a consulta on session. h ps://www.facebook.com/photo/? id=627927219366241&set=a.152140020278299 2- Coffee with the Councillors. First session back in Feb 2023. Now for the follow up. h ps://www.facebook.com/photo/? id=628464605979169&set=a.152140020278299 This will be held at the Bull and Mouth on 31st May from 10am to 12 noon. Should anyone wish to have their ques ons answered from the last session or have new ques ons, we encourage those members to a end. A very community-based event, not before me.

There are also engagements around the Art Gallery, water management and community town reviews.

DUNOLLY AND MARYBOROUGH DISTRICTS FUNERAL SERVICE Specialising in prepaid and prearranged funerals with special pensioner discounts

Could it be that with 18 months before the next elec on that Councillors have now realised what they promised pre-elec on, and are now acknowledging it and are lobbying. Possibly too late for communi es to achieve the trust and belief in the system nor give the community belief in our Shire.

With the Sa sfac on Survey (with the Seasonality factor) results now being distributed. Several councils with good marks will already have published their result. We, CGShire possibly may have to wait un l July.

This weekend we have The Dunolly Country Market, which is has been a great community effort, not to forget the mee ng on 24th May, to gauge the interest in the community toward a Local Agricultural show.h ps://www.maryboroughadver ser.com.au/ community... Well done Jake and it is pleasing to see a Councillor now suppor ng the community in this endeavour to gauge interest.

The Welcome Record Community Mee ng is to be held at Dunolly Town Hall on Thurs. 1st June at 5.30pm. Volunteers are extremely important to every community and their efforts need to be respected and appreciated, not only by the community; our volunteers need to feel valued and to share a complete feeling of worth and achievement across the board. Thank you to all our volunteers. Please look a er each other and stay safe.

Hannah Delconte, Publicity Mgr DFNC NETBALL REPORT 11’s- It was a tough day out for our 11’s this week, we were undermanned and things just didn’t go our way. The girls fought hard all game but went down 4-6. Incentives went to Alanah and Tay. 13’s- The girls started strong and got away to a handy lead in the first half. Navarre came out strong in the 3rd and broke even during the last quarter. Some amazing defensive pressure and steady attacking saw the girls manage to take out the narrowest of wins 19-18.

Incentives went to Lucy and Summer.

15’s- Navarre got away to handy lead in the first quarter but we had a great 2nd quarter and managed to finish the first half just 3 goals down.

Although the girls fought hard Navarre were able to regroup and run away with the

win. We went down 1528. Incentives went to Audrey and Hannah.

17’s- With a few missing this week, we had a few girls step up in the 17’s this week. It took a little bit for the girls to get used to the new combinations but once they did, they played some fantastic netball.

Although we had some fantastic passages of play and a strong last quarter we weren’t able to peg back Navarre’s early lead, going down 20-26. Incentives went to Charlotte and Ava. C-Grade- Once again we went in to this game quite short for players.

Navarre were very fast and we found it very hard to keep up.

Although we had some fantastic passages of play, Navarre were too strong and we went down 15-62.

Thank You to Teagan and Nhykita for stepping up from the juniors this week. The incentive went to Cadence.

some amazing defensive pressure. With everyone chipping in we had a consistent game but Navarre were too strong on the day. We went down 21-34. Thank you to Chloe for stepping up from the juniors the last couple of weeks.

Incentive went to Jess.

A- Grade - It was goal for goal in the first quarter but we managed to take an early lead. Once again our defensive end worked tirelessly and provided many opportunities for us to convert. We had a 5 goal lead going in to half time. We appeared to run out of puff in the second half and let Navarre right back into the game. It was a nail biting last quarter with both teams causing many turnovers. We managed to walk away with a one goal win 3736. Congratulations and thank you to Ruby for stepping up and playing her first A grade game this season. She did an amazing job under pressure. Incentive was awarded to Matisse.

Mel Schodde Netball Coordinator DFNC Football Report
