A ute towing a caravan and a sedan collided on the New England Highway at Spring Creek yesterday (Tuesday) morning, resulting in a 50-years-old woman needing to be transported to hospital with siginficant injuries. The incident occurred at about 6:20am not far from the Spring Creek crossing. Police from Clifton and Allora, paramedics from Clifton and two Queensland Fire and Emergency Services crews attended the scene. Both vehicles had left the road surface, with the ute travelling some distance before stopping. Initial investigations by police determined the ute, which was travelling north, had left its lane and collided with the sedan which was travelling south. Emergency services arrived to find the woman entrapped in the vehicle, removing the door to
enable her to get out. A Queensland Ambulance Service spokesperson said the woman was transported to Toowoomba Hospital with a hip injury and chest pains likely caused by the traumatic impact. The driver of the ute, a 52-years-old male, suffered minor injuries and was transported to hospital as a precaution. Police believe fatigue was possibly involved in the cause of the crash and subsequently issued the male with an infringement notice for careless driving. Police would like to advise all motorists to be especially cautious during the early morning in the winter months. Motorists should ensure that their heater and demisters are working correctly and to drive to the conditions when there is a heavy fog.

Member for Southern Downs, James Lister says “Lock ‘em up!”
Commenting on the Allora Police Report in the Allora Advertiser on 15th June “I concur with the advice that Allora police have given about reducing the opportunity for criminals to target us for thefts and other unlawful activities. “I admire and respect the work of our local police who have a tough job to do. I feel that often they are forced to deal with crime that shouldn’t have happened in the first place which must be very frustrating for them. “In particular it is unacceptable to see youth offenders allowed onto the streets to commit crimes day after day when they’re already out on bail or being “supervised”. Youngsters who have been charged with an offence, and are enjoying the privilege of being on bail or being supervised with access to the community, should lose that privilege if they are charged with subsequent offences. “It’s not good enough that some young offenders in our electorate of Southern Downs can rack up dozens of additional charges before they go to court. Whilst there are complex reasons for
crime and nobody enjoys seeing young people being incarcerated, the question is one of protection of the community. Good people who live by and uphold the law are entitled to be protected from offenders. “I’m tired of being told that this is a question of balance between competing interests; a balance between the rights of lawabiding citizens and young offenders. It’s actually quite simple – lock up multiple offenders so that they can’t keep up their crime. “Other approaches
centred around keeping young multiple offenders out of custody mean that the community are expected to tolerate crime until the social causes of it are addressed. That’s not good enough. The rights of good citizens to peace, security and safety outweigh the rights of young offenders to be kept out of custody. “That’s why I am fighting for the youth offence of

The Golden Wattle Cafe Going To The Toilet? Just Remember The 3 Ps
is the latest addition to the food scene in Allora. Located in the Allora RSL Hall with the adjoining outside verandah the Cafe is already proving popular with locals and visitors. Open for morning tea and lunch from 9am until 2pm Wednesday to Saturday. The Manager / Chef Sharon Ryan is excited to
offer patrons home style meals with not a deep fryer in sight. The menu varies according to the produce that is available. The Cafe will not be opening for dinners however a theme night is planned for once a month with a Mexican smorgasbord to be held on Friday 15th July.
Pee, Poo and (toilet) paper are the only items that should be flushed down the toilet. It’s the easiest way to avoid inconvenient, costly and smelly sewerage blockages and fatbergs. So what are fatbergs? They can form in sewer pipes (due to disposal of wet wipes and fats/oils) are one of the major culprits behind the sewer chokes/ blockages thereby causing huge environmental and economic losses. The official release of Australian and New Zealand Standards clarifies what flushable products can and can’t be flushed down the toilet. Southern Downs Regional Council’s Director Infrastructure Services,
Fresh, new music from Tracy Coster coming to the Nobby School of Arts Hall on Sunday 3rd July from 1pm

Tracy has either written or co-written seven of the album’s 13 songs, sharing writing duties with some of the best song scribes in the business.

Gary Murphy welcomed the flushing guidelines and said they cleared up common misconceptions of what was considered flushable and outlined labelling requirements for products. “Many wet wipe products are innocently but mistakenly labelled as ‘flushable’, despite the fact that they don’t disintegrate in the sewer system in an acceptable time, whereas toilet paper breaks down in around 20 seconds.” What not to flush All types of wet wipes, including those labelled ‘flushable’, facial tissues, paper napkins, hand towels, nappies, sanitary items, rags, cotton buds, dental floss, cigarette butts, fats and oils, food scraps, needles and medication.

Learn About Those Who Served Us
Our community and nation would not be what it is today without the sacrifices of those who came before, especially those who served our country, as local military history buff Ray Cook is keenly aware. On Saturday, 23 July, Mr Cook is delivering a presentation about the local men from the Allora - Clifton district who volunteered in the Second Boer War. The presentation will take place at the Uniting Church hall in Allora as part of the wider Jumpers and Jazz festivities. It has been organsied by the Allora and District Historical Society, which will also have their two museums open on the day. The local relationship with the Boer War has been
highlighted recently by the Light Horse parade that was held in Allora. Mr Cook said the Second Boer War, whilst often looked over in favour of the world wars, is an important part of our history. Queensland was the first state to offer soldiers to fight alongside the British and in total 7,000 Australians went to war, including a few from the local area. In addition to the presentation, there will be over 200 pieces of military artefacts from Mr Cook’s private collection on display as well as photos from the 11th Light Horse Regiment. Personal military items, flags, uniforms, medical equipment, World War II era cigarettes and more will be part of the display.
Looking Back… Mystery Medal
Allora Historical Society and Men’s Shed stalwart Stuart Campbell has given the Allora museum a medal that his father brought home from WW2. Private Donald Campbell was a member of the Queensland raised 2/26th Infantry Battalion, along with a number of Allora men. He was taken prisoner of war on the surrender of Singapore to the Japanese on the 15th February 1942 and worked on the Burma Thailand railway in A Force alongside Allora men Phil and Eric Hall and Buff Holmes. On the completion of the line in October 1943 those men from A Force who weren’t sent to work in Japan, stayed on in Thailand doing railway maintenance and other work. Donald Campbell was recovered from
The artefacts on display are as rare as they are interesting, such as this German gas mask and goggles for horses during World War II.
Ken Reiners will be reciting pertinent poetry. The museums and Mr Cook’s display will be open from 10am to 3pm, with the talks being delivered at 11pm and 1pm.
the Tha Muang P.O.W. camp on the 16th August 1945. When he was returned to Australia Donald was in possession to a Dutch long-service medal embossed ‘Voor Trouwen Dienst’ (For Loyal Service). The name on the card attached to the medal was Pte. E. M. Trouvat. Inquiries to the Thailand-Burma Railway Centre in Kanchanaburi, Thailand, reveal that Emile Max Trouvat was a member of No.2 Battery, Royal Netherlands East Indies Army. He was born in Padang, Sumatra, in the Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia) on the 15th May 1924 and was not yet 18 years of age when the Dutch surrendered to the Japanese in March 1942. Emile Trouvat was sent to Thailand to work

on the Burma Thailand railway. He died in the Linson wood cutting camp in Thailand on the 15th May 1945, his twenty-first birthday, of unknown causes. He was buried in the Linson P.O.W. cemetery and at the end of the war his body was exhumed and buried in the Kanchanaburi Military Cemetery which contains the remains of nearly 7,000 Allied P.O.W’s. The mystery is why Emile Trouvat was in possession of a long-service medal, and how Donald Campbell ended up with it. Colin Newport

Aussie Beef proves to be a winner
Our region is known for producing top quality beef cattle.
AgForce has welcomed the latest report from the Australian Beef Sustainability Framework (ABSF), which proves there has never been a better time to eat Aussie beef. The 2022 update firmly cements Australia’s position as a nutritional powerhouse – revealing the country has delivered 32.3 billion portions of red meat globally in the past year. Figures show the industry has more than halved its CO2 emissions since 2005, recording a reduction of 58.21 per cent in 2019. What’s more, animal welfare continues to be a priority - not only in herd management practices but also combating biosecurity
risks such as the current threats of foot and mouth and lumpy skin disease. AgForce Cattle Board President Will Wilson applauded the strong performance – a reflection of how seriously producers take their responsibilities towards animals, the environment, and consumers. “We can certainly stand proudly on the global stage,” he said. “Our beef contains 12 essential nutrients recommended for good health and is an excellent source of iron, zinc and omega-3, and we are driving productivity to ensure everyone can enjoy it. “Our producers are also stewards of the environment
Ritemate half button Shirts
and are acutely aware of their responsibility to care for the country’s natural assets. “As an industry we take great responsibility and accountability in working towards nature positive goals - soil, vegetation, water and biodiversity are always front of mind.
“This report is an undeniably good news story that needs to be told.” “The Australian cattle industry is a world leader when it comes to sustainable vegetation management – an achievement that producers, consumers, and investors can all be proud of.”

Warriors Tested by Low on Ladder Bears
A tough Oakey Bears outfit gave the top of the table ‘Stillwater Pastoral Company’ Warriors a run for their money on Sunday at Stanthorpe’s Sullivan Oval, but it was the Warriors that eventually emerged victorious 26 – 10. The Wattles entourage ventured south to the Granite Belt for the Round 10 Toowoomba Rugby League clash after the Toowoomba Regional Council ruled Platz Oval unsuitable for play. Sunday was a day of success with Wattles finishing with a rare trifecta, also collecting the honours in Reserve Grade 72 – 18 and 14 – 10 in Under 19. While the Warriors finished with a six to two touchdown advantage in the feature match, they made hard work of the contest where the Bears pressed their claims throughout the eighty minutes. Both sides were frustrated with basic errors,
and while Wattles didn’t manage to roll out their usual attacking game their defence held out against all Oakey managed to throw at them. When flying centre Austin Jennings scored in the opening minutes it appeared the Warriors were going to dominate, but they only managed one other first stanza try through winger Mitch Bourke to struggle to an 8 – 0 lead by half time. Two four-pointers in the initial eleven minutes of the new half by fullback Jackson Green and front-row enforcer Mitch Duff seemed to indicate the Warriors were getting into their stride leading 16 – 0. Oakey registered their initial points through a sideline dash by winger Leevai Sutton, but Wattles hit back soon after when back-rower Dale Perkins cantered in to score. With fifteen minutes remaining Wattles held a 24 – 4 lead, but the match was anything but the dominant encounter predicted. While Oakey nailed a final try Warriors back-rower Tyson Stevens crossed to shut the game out in the final stages. Captain/coach Travis Burns was pleased with
the win however “it was far from one of our better performances, we just couldn’t seem to get out of second gear.” Consistent fullback Jackson Green and frontrower Jordan Crocker were Wattles’ shining lights. Burns has his side focused on this weekend’s clash with Brothers as they continue their march towards a Madsen-Rasmussen Trophy berth. Wattles 26 (Austin Jennings, Mitch Bourke, Jackson Green, Mitch Duff, Dale Perkins, Tyson Stevens tries; Matt Duggan goals) defeated Oakey 10.
Reserve Grade - The ‘Tony Morris Tiling’ Warriors Reserve Graders have all but confirmed a starting position in the mid-season Presidents Cup after savaging the Oakey Bears 72 - 18. “It was a good win but we definitely didn’t play our best. Our ball control was sub-standard” according to Co-Captain/coach Garth Lonergan. Back rower Nick Marsh and veteran three quarter Tim Hentschel posted polished performances, Hentschel claiming a hat trick of tries.
Wattles 72 (Tim Hentschel 3, Tim Duggan, Jordan Henry, Jack Rubie, Tom Morris, Dale McAntee, Eli Adamson, Darby Peardon, Alex Morris, Josh Henry, Nick Morris tries; Tom Morris 10 goals) defeated Oakey 18. Under 19 - Wattles ‘Black Toyota, Warwick’ Under 19 finished ahead of Oakey in a tough stoush 14 – 10. The Warriors held an 8 – 0 lead at the half-time break after tries by Lachlan Meakle and skipper Jamie Hamilton. While the Bears hit back early in the new half, it was a try under the posts by giant seventeen year old debutante forward Botrus Stievn midway through the second stanza that proved the match winner. Back-rowers Jamie Hamilton, Marley Tunstead & Reuben Sullivan along with three-quarter Gus Hutchinson were among Wattles better campaigners. Wattles 14 (Lachlan Meakle, Jamie Hamilton, Botrus Stievn tries; Gus Hutchison goal). Oakey 10. Wattles head to Toowoomba this Sunday to meet the Brothers Leprechauns at Glenholme Park from 11.30 am.

Fresh off their first State of Origin win against the Blues, the Queensland Maroons will visit the region next month and the Southern Downs community and surrounds will have the opportunity to meet their heroes. Two days will be spent in Warwick so the team can meet with local fans as part of their regional fan tour with thanks to the Southern Downs Regional Council. There’ll be a community fundraising dinner on Tuesday 5 July and Breakfast on Wednesday 6 July with profits benefiting the Warwick and Districts
Juniors Rugby League. A show-stopping street parade on Wednesday, 6th July, along Palmerin Street from 8.30am until 10am and finishing in Leslie Park. Local business and residents are getting behind the fanfare by taking part in the best-dressed window competition. Leslie Park will host a community BBQ breakfast where fans can grab breakfast and a coffee to fuel them for the day while enjoying free community activities and give-aways. Fans can register for free to attend these events. Budding rugby league
players will have the opportunity to take part in a junior clinic (6-12 years and 13-17 years) while fans will be able to view a Maroons training session from close up at the home of the Warwick Cowboys. Newly appointed coach Billy Slater was excited about the impact the event would have on both his team and the community. “These fans days have a long and proud history of supporting regional towns who have experienced hardship due to natural disasters like floods and drought,” Slater said. “Like many other towns,
Warwick has endured its challenges recently and we’re really pleased to know that our group is going to have an opportunity to make a difference to the community in the area. “At the same time, it gives us an opportunity to connect with the people of Queensland and this is an important part of our Origin campaign. Southern Downs Mayor Vic Pennisi said it would be an honour to host the Maroons, particularly amid their Origins campaign preparations.

Wattles Juniors Muscle Up Against Dragons
Due to continuing issues arising from recent wet weather at Clifton, the main oval at Wattles Platz Oval complex was unavailable for use on Saturday for Warwick & District Junior Rugby League Round 9 fixtures against Warwick’s Collegians Dragons. Only Under 13, 14, 15, 17 & League Tag matches were played and on the complex eastern oval. Wattles Under 13 Wattles Under 13 ‘Nutrien Harcourts Cooke Real Estate’ side underlined their ability with a sterling performance to open the program on Saturday with a 14 – 10 victory over Collegians. Coaching staff praised the Under 13’s outstanding second half goal line defence, the whole team showing plenty of resilience to hold the opposition out. Players to shine in green and gold included Jackson Bateman, Marty May, Zac Wheeldon, Henry McMillan and Orry Gilmore. In a season highlight Will Peters, Patty Baty and Tom Worboys excelled with some prime defence on the Warriors fringes.
Under 15 League Tag - Wattles Ladies Club Hotel Under 15 League Tag line-up outclassed their Collegians opponents to achieve a thrilling 26 – 0 win. Coach Dan Wallis showered his young side with accolades after the impressive team performance that saw Wattles post eight touchdowns to nil. For the home side Warriors Teeah Davis (2), Matilda Baty (2), Alex Gilmore and Sarah Morris crossed for tries while Alex Gilmore was successful with a conversion. Under 15 - Wattles ‘Nutrien Harcourts Cooke Real Estate’ Under 15’s come up against a strong challenge from the Dragons, with the opposition outfit proving to strong and leading 32 - 16 as the final siren sounded. The Warriors got off to a slow start conceding two tries to the city side allowing them an early advantage. To their credit, Wattles didn’t drop their heads and managed to claw their way back up the scoreboard to trail marginally 18 – 16 at half time. The young Warriors resurgence came off the back of some prime team work from all players excelling in both defence and attack. Home side tries were scored by Seth Esson, Harry Wright and a Charlie Spina. The Charlie Spina effort
resulted in a fabulous try that started with a 40 metre line break from Nico Denny who then put through a kick for Charlie in support. Unfortunately, the second half didn’t pan out as well as the talented Dragons showed plenty of ability to extend their lead to 32-16 by full time. Collegians 32 defeated Wattles 16 (Seth Esson, Harry Wright, Charlie Spina tries; Ben Barbierato 2 goals). Under 17 - The Hamblin Builders Under 17 Warriors established themselves as a premiership benchmark on Saturday after dispatching a Collegians side unbeaten this season and last by 20 – 12. While coach Shane Wright handed out praise across the field, he rated forwards George Nott, Reuben Sullivan and Billy Mutch for their efforts leading the green and gold pack. Five-eight Lachie
Peardon steered his side admirably at five-eight while fellow backs Daniel Morris and Kobie De Luca excelled. New arrival from North Queensland Lachlan Clements impressed in his Warriors debut and was rewarded with a try. Wattles 20 (Daniel Morris, Lachie Peardon, Lachlan Clements tries; Bryce Stewart 4 goals) defeated Collegians 12. Under 17 League Tag - It was a tough day at the Platz Oval office for Wattles Club Hotel Under 17 League Tag ladies on the end of a 56 - 0 loss to a classy Collegians outfit. Plenty of lessons learnt though and scope to focus on the next onfield challenge. The school vacation commencing this weekend signals a lull in premiership fixtures, with Wattles Juniors next taking the field on Saturday July 16 at Platz Oval against MIT Jets. Glyn Rees

On Saturday Mum and I went to Brisbane so that we could see the Queensland Symphony Orchestra’s (QSO) Elgar and Mahler concert. Before the concert Mum and I went to a speech by the new chief conductor designate of the QSO, Umberto Clerici. Umberto has performed for over 20 years as a cello soloist so it was amazing to see him conduct the Elgar cello concerto in E minor which he would have performed many times himself. The cello soloist was Daniel Muller-Schott and he performed the entire solo by memory without any music. My favourite piece was the Mahler Symphony No. 1 in D major (Titan). In the program they hand out there is a ‘did you know’ part and it said that cello originally meant “little, large viola” in Italian. Jeremy Lister, age 11

Local Sporting Immortals To Visit Allora Next Month
Put aside Saturday July 16 (now to be known as March 21, 2020) to welcome Allora’s first sporting immortals, Laura Geitz and Wayne Bennett. The park at the Allora Regional Sports Museum has been dedicated to Laura and Wayne and they will officially open it on the day. All this should have happened two years ago (hence the March date) but due to Covid the world was shut down from March 23, 2020. At the time Mayor Dobie strongly advised the Museum to postpone the event for 3 months so the virus would pass . Over 2 years later it’s still here but now life is slowly getting back to some sort of normality.
Wayne Bennett.
During Allora’s 150 year celebrations a time capsule was buried outside the Sports Museum and months later a statuette of Laura was cast and mounted on a sandstone plinth. Laura will guard over the capsule until
Laura Geitz.
its retrieval in 2069. A big list of celebrities including Shane Webcke,
Patron of the Allora Regional Sports Museum will be in attendance next month.
