William’s View

How Amelia Has Changed

which will include the town in the Australian Silo Art Trail.

The aim of the project is to enhance community wellbeing by boosting tourism, amenities and community engagement in Allora through the co-design and installation of a mural representing important stories of the town.

Sometimes it is hard to decide what to write about and if that happens I just write about my little sister Amelia who is sixteen months old and very, very cute. To start with, now Amelia is starting to say more words like parpie (puppy), sooz (shoes), ba ba (bird), and bwarba (brother). And Amelia can make the noises of cars, cows, trains, birds and monkeys. And also if you tell her to put something in the bin she does it so she must understand a lot.

Now that she’s 16 months old, Amelia is having a few more tantrums though. On Easter Sunday, Amelia did a special little easter egg hunt but she wanted to stop and eat the chocolate eggs before the easter egg hunt was finished. So we took her eggs away and she had a really huge tantrum by falling on the floor and kicking her legs and screaming and even when she stood up again she stamped her feet and cried.

And also on Easter Sunday we went to church and she kept being really naughty and she ran up behind Father Alan and went up in the areas where the alter is and carried on. But when Father Alan said he had some Easter eggs for the kids, Amelia went straight up to him and was a really good girl all of a sudden and so everyone in the church started laughing.

At the moment my mum is away in Sydney to get her viola fixed so my dad is looking after Jeremy and Amelia and me on his own. Yesterday dad took the three of us kids to Jamworks for afternoon tea and this was great and Amelia was really good. But last night dad was making spaghetti bolognaise and Amelia did this enormous tantrum for about an hour so me and Jeremy tried to play with her and then she vomited on the floor and broke a bowl but he didn’t get angry with Amelia. She gets naughty at the moment but my little sister is super cute and I look after her by playing and making Amelia laugh. Mum and Dad say I’m a really good big brother and I think I am too.

New Site for The Drayton Street Museum

The Southern Downs Regional Council has approved the relocation of the Allora and District Historical Society’s museum at 27 Drayton Street to 53 Warwick Street, the site of the main Allora museum.

Applications for Grants have been made to cover the cost of the relocation and other work involved but no decision has been forthcoming at this stage.

The Society believes the relocation to form one major Museum will be of benefit to Allora and will reduce the cost of running two facilities.

Exhibition Of Wedding Gowns

The Allora Museum at 53 Warwick Street will be open this Sunday 16 April from 1 until 4pm with an extensive collection of Wedding Gowns that have been worn by local ladies over the years. The Gowns and Bridesmaid dresses have been tagged with the Bride’s

name and who she married. This exhibition will also be held on Sunday 21 May and Sunday 18 June.

On other days the Museum in Allora will open by appointment. Phone Wendy on 0488 673 778 to arrange a time.

Part of the Wedding Gown Collection you’ll see at the Museum.

Freak Accident at Goomburra

A young woman sustained serious injuries when a tree fell onto a camping site in the Goomburra section of the Main Range National Park on Saturday afternoon.

The woman had been sitting with a group of friends and their dogs, under a gazebo next to a vehicle, when the large gum tree suddenly toppled at a public camping area in the National Park.

The tree landed on top of the vehicle, destroyed the gazebo and pinned the woman for more than 30 minutes before she could be freed.

No other people, or their pets, were injured.

The RACQ LifeFlight Rescue helicopter was called to the scene just before 4.30pm with the chopper pilot landing the aircraft in

a clear area close to the incident.

An RACQ LifeFlight Rescue Critical Care Doctor and Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) Flight Paramedic assisted in treating the woman and preparing her for flight.

The camper, who is aged

in her twenties, sustained impact injuries to her back.

She was in a stable condition when she was flown to Toowoomba Hospital.

ROUGH WEATHER - It is

believed the tree fell as a result of strong winds which impacted the whole region across much of the Easter break.

Allora Mountain the venue for the Official Launch of the 2nd edition - “A Pictorial Guide to the Birds of Allora Mountain Flora and Fauna Reserve”

Allora Landcare Group (ALG) is delighted to announce the 2nd edition of their book “A Pictorial Guide to the Birds of Allora Mountain Flora and Fauna Reserve” is now available. Since the success of the first edition in 2020 more species of bird have been identified on the Mountain with now well over 100 which suggests the Mountain’s ecosystems are richer and more diverse than originally thought.

ALG invites you to attend the official launch of the book to be held on Sunday 23rd April at the Reservoir level on Allora Mountain at 9.00am. Access is via Burges Road, off the New England Highway opposite the Golf Course. Coffee, tea and cake will be available for a gold coin, and the book is on sale at $10 per copy. It would be a great help if you could please bring your own cup.

The book’s photographer Frank Coman will be in attendance and will be available to answer questions, sign books and identify any birds we might

see. Following the formalities and refreshment, a guided walk on the higher Mountain is planned to start at 10.00am for those interested.

In the event of bad weather, the event will relocate to the Allora Showgrounds.

The book joins the small but important group of locally published volumes on birds, eucalypts and native flora which are found in the Warwick and surrounding areas such as Killarney, Cambanoora Gorge and Maryvale. These books all record the rich ecosystems that make the Southern Downs so environmentally and culturally diverse and important.

Members of ALG look forward to welcoming you to this important event and to show you around the beautiful mountain on Allora’s doorstep.

Details are on our Facebook page, or we can be approached via our email address; alloralandcare@ gmail.com

Peter Thomas Secretary, ALG Inc.

Official launch of the book will take place at Allora Mountain Reserve.

Glengallan Homestead’s paranormal activity

Glengallan Homestead these days thrives with visitors, however its long and storied past, including many decades when it was abandoned, has led to some believing it may be haunted.

To enter Glengallan is a time-warp experience of the solitary sandstone mansion residing, as it has since 1867, over the fertile Glengallan Valley to Cunningham’s Gap in the Great Divide.

“People come back to the Heritage Centre after going through the house and tell us stories of how they felt a chill or how they saw someone at a window,” Donna Fraser, Chair, Glengallan Homestead Trust explained.

“Restored from ruin in 2001, the iconic Glengallan Homestead emerges from the ruins of the 1867 mansion as a unique heritage experience,” she said.

“The building is a traditional Victorian style built of sandstone to last the testament of time, with the addition of the Queensland wrap around verandas.”

Glengallan Homestead General Manager, Jonno Colfs recalled his first-time being in the homestead alone.

“I definitely felt something, a little bit spooked, a little bit eerie,” Mr Colfs said.

“I scooted out in quite a hurry. I try not to look at the windows as I walk across

the lawn to the house as the last thing I want to see is movement in a window.

“It’s probably 100 per cent my imagination and reading too many Stephen King novels.”

There is also the curious tale of Glengallans’s Myrtlethe moggy mummy.

When builders were repairing floor joists in front of the drawing room fireplace in the winter of 2002, they uncovered a mummified cat.

According to Ms Fraser, this cat was likely entombed in 1867 by builders following an age-old East Anglian custom that decreed burying a live cat would “protect a building under construction from all harm by witches, warlocks and fire.”

“Lying in an airless, sealed subterranean chamber, with porosity of sandstone foundations drawing all moisture from the carcass, mummification would occur quickly and naturally, thus preventing putrefication and decay,” Ms Fraser said.

Myrtle the moggy mummy was re-interred in November 2002.

In addition to the usual tours available at Glengallan Homestead, there are Ghosts of Glengallan Homestead tours for small groups.

Similarly, people have felt strange forces at Abbey Boutique Hotel in Warwick, which was originally a convent.

Murder Mysteries are hosted there for courageous guests.

Valerie Prentice, owner of the Criterion Hotel, also in Warwick, said the presence of Kate Allman, who’s presence at the hotel dates back 100 years, can still be felt.

“You know when Mrs Allman is happy, and when she is not happy with you,”

Ms Prentice said.

“Her presence can mainly be experienced in the kitchen and the Allman Room.

“People would walk past and see a strong stout woman in a Victorian dress walking to the (original historic) mirror.

“I imagine she is quite a formidable woman.”

Bailey Selected For Nationals

During the three day event, Baileys efforts secured him a Gold and QLD School Sport Champion in the 15 years 50m Freestyle and 50m Backstroke events, swimming 0.10 outside of the QLD School Sport freestyle record. He also won Silver in the 50m Breaststroke and Bronze in the 100m Free, Breast and Back. Bailey anchored the 4 x 50m Free Relay, swimming alongside Allora team mate Will Day, to win the bronze.

With our local pool now closed for the winter, this will mean Bailey will travel to Toowoomba to continue to train in preparation for the National Championships. Bailey will also be competing at the Swimming Australia National Age Championships on the Gold Coast mid April before heading to the QLD School Sport Water Polo Championships at the historic Fortitude Valley Pool in Brisbane at months end.

A Message From Our Local Schools -

Warriors Chasing Initial Victory

Specialistsin

Rugby league returns to Clifton’s Platz Oval on Sunday when local heroes the Wattles Warriors take the field against Toowoomba’s Southern Suburbs Tigers.

Given the Tigers are not fielding an Under 19 team in this 2023 Toowoomba Rugby League season, the program will consist of just two games being Reserve and A Grade.

Wattles ‘Stillwater Pastoral Company’ open line up have yet to post a positive result as the TRL season opens, a situation Coach Travis Burns wants to see addressed this weekend.

Wattles line up has certainly suffered some losses from the premiership winning combination of last year, but the coach feels his team can built into a force to be reckoned with on the back of talent, experience and youth.

Sunday’s contest with the Tigers will be the Warriors

first outing approaching full strength.

Reserve Grade -

The ‘Tony Morris Tiling’ Wattles reserve grade side are focused on a third successive win in what has been a shining opening to their season.

Coach Tony Morris couldn’t be happier with team performance and results to date.

His Warriors also still have some quality players in contention to return to the reserve grade line-up as the A Grade side takes shape.

It’s been a consolidated effort by Morris’ outfit, keeping the game simple, executing the game plane and limiting errors.

With the experience of veteran campaigners of the calibre of Tim Hentschel and Aaron Scheid, along with skipper Jordan Henry and Garth Lonergan and string of talented youth, the Warriors have taken the first vital steps towards another Grand Final appearance.

Toowoomba Rugby League Round 2 - this Sunday 16th at Platz Oval, Clifton. 1.00 pm Reserve Grade, 2.30 pm A Grade Glyn Rees

Wattles players Michael Duggan, Alex Morris and Ryan Lewis band together to halt a Dalby player in the recent reserve grade match in Dalby.
