Glen and Melinda, Owners of Hays Jewellers

Glen and Melinda made their home in Dalby 26 years ago with their young children and new business, Hays Jewelers. They believe a place is what you make it, a concept that keeps them busy in many volunteer positions around town. For anyone moving to the region they offer the same advicethe same advice and that is to reach out and find people to connect with. Dalby is a great community and has something for everyone. Below are Glen and Melinda’s insider tips for living in Dalby.

We are both very involved...

In the community, believing what you give is what you get. Over the years we have been involved in the likes of Scouts and school tuck-shop with the kids growing up. At the moment our biggest commitments are with Rotary and the Dalby community radio 4DDD. – Melinda

We’re very lucky...

To have the Bunya Mountains so nearby, that’s always a highlight. The serenity of Lake Broadwater and the amazing collection of bird life make this place very special. – Melinda

Our favourite time of year...

Is the beautiful Autumn weather. We’re lucky to have warm days even in winter, and the magical skies that come with the change of the season. – Melinda

I always love running into...

Other business owners. I can walk up the street and drop in on some of the shop owners, and we catch up and compare notes. It’s very beneficial. – Glen Quite often we’ll walk along...

Myall Creek of an afternoon. It’s a beautiful way to end a day, spending about an hour wandering under the trees right in the heart of town. – Glen We look forward to...

The Delicious and DeLIGHTful Festival held in August. It’s a great weekend with the various food, culture and entertainment. It’s wonderful. – Glen Being involved with Rotary at the Australia Day Breakfast and Stockhorse Sale each year. It’s a lot of work but so interesting to see how the days are run and the communities that come along to support them. – Melinda

There are so many benefits, it’s a lovely place to live. It’s small but a friendly community... and economically very strong.
