Maleny District Sport & Recreation Club Community Newsletter “A History of the Maleny Showgrounds Reserve” This week as we head towards Friday and Saturday’s Maleny Show 2022, we are sharing a beaut little historical story, as recorded in the Nambour Chronicle and North Coast Advertiser on Friday 15th May 1925, by a writer with the nom de plume of “Pioneer”. The journalist wrote in the rich, owery language of the time. For those who are keen on local history, here is the story how Maleny came to have its own grounds and Agricultural Show in 1923. Maleny Show and Recreation Reserve "On the southern banks of the Obi Creek, the Maleny Show and Recreation Reserve contains an area of 18 acres and 2 roods on Portion 1271,
Parish of Maleny, County of March. It is one of the most conveniently situated public reserves outside the cities in Queensland. Yes! One only has to look over it to discover the natural advantages it has as a show and sports ground. "A beautiful at of several acres, with a gradual rising hill on the western side — an ideal spot from which to view the activities of the ring, and the beautiful creek running along the northern boundary, where cattle and horses can be watered most conveniently” Willow trees have been planted along the banks of this creek and ornamental trees are to be planted around the ring, adding beauty to the grounds. The acquisition of this ground, forms rather interesting reading — so let me to my task.

A History of the Maleny Showgrounds Reserve Continued from Page 1 Some twenty odd years ago, when the dairy pioneers of the Blackall Range thought it desirable to build a butter factory, the spot selected was centrally situated on the banks of the Obi Creek. The name chosen was the Maleny Co-operative Dairy Company, and gradually the township spread out in this vicinity. At this time, and for a few years afterwards, there was no provision made for a public reserve for recreation purposes, Maleny township having been built on private property. As years rolled by, this want became more and more pronounced.
All articles, results, posters and photos (as large sized jpegs, please do not embed these in a Word doc) for inclusion in the weekly sports results should be emailed to denvergail1@gmail.com no later than 12 noon every Monday.

Donkeys tethered in the Showgrounds C1922 In the early pioneer days most of the local sports meetings were held in Walker's paddock, and later, in Dunlop's paddock. (Note: Dunlops Paddock is now the back oval of the Maleny Primary School). The district owes a deep debt of gratitude to the owners of these properties, where many pleasant days were spent by old and young alike, and where much money was raised for local purposes.” (Written by 'Pioneer’) We pick up the rest of the story with records about Maleny Show's history regarding the development of the Maleny Showgrounds, taken from Trove and the Nambour Chronicle

A History of the Maleny Showgrounds Reserve
and North Coast Advertiser as follows.
time was lost in convening a public meeting.
The necessity of a public reserve was often spoken of by early residents. It was the Maleny branch of the Queensland Famers Union that took the rst steps, which ultimately resulted in the procuring of the present site.
Discussion ensued whether a Show and Recreation Society to be formed, or an Agricultural, Industrial, Pastoral and Recreational Society. Cr Tytherleigh presided, and the following resolution was carried unanimously: ‘That in the opinion of this meeting it is desirable to form a Show and Recreation Society in Maleny.’ The role of provisional show committee had ended.
In 1919 the Landsborough Shire Council was asked to procure ground in Maleny suitable for recreation purposes. Eventually “18 acres and 2 roods” were procured. A public meeting of rate payers was called and a 'provisional committee' with Mr. A. M. Hunt as chairman and Mr. W. H. Simmons as secretary was appointed. This committee eventually recommended the block of land now known as the Maleny Show and Recreation Reserve. Steps were taken to purchase this property from Mrs Chas Walker, but the price asked was prohibitive: therefore, it only remained for the Council to take the necessary action, and resume the portion required. It was not until 1922 that Chairman Tytherleigh was of cially noti ed that the reserve had been vested in the Council, as trustees. When this news came to the provisional committee, no
The 1925 Nambour Chronicle and North Coast Advertiser (15 May 1925) lists the 42 men on the rst Show Committee: Messrs. A. C. K. Cooke, A. M. Hunt, junr. Tytherleigh, A. Fleming, C. H. Dinning, J. N. Robinson, Thomas Porter, P. Daley, E. S. Webster, A. N. Webster, Geo. McCarthy, S. A. Sallaway, A. McLean, G. Smith, A. J. Bryce, Robt. Bryce, Chas. Bryce, E. Hunt, D. C. Johnstone, Jno. Grigor, senr, A. S. Cooke, H. O. Rees, junr, E. Thynne, R. Gibson, A. J. French, W. Walker,

It was decided to hold the rst Maleny Show on the 26th and 27th of April, 1923. The new committee was then faced with the Herculean task of changing a veritable wilderness of lantana, wild tobacco, and undergrowth into a ground suf ciently well improved so that a show could be held This photo is a forerunner to our annual show, taken in 1917 at a Sports Day on Dunlops Flats, to raise money for Maleny’s Ambulance. Jumping has a long history at the Maleny Show where many National Champion Horses have performed. The rider in the photo was Lou Rough, an uncle to the late Frank Rough, who worked at the Butter Factory at the time.

Maleny Singers Scale New Heights with Merry Widow Maleny Singers are bringing back Franz Lehar’s timeless classic, The Merry Widow, with four performances over the middle two weekends of June at the Maleny Community Centre. Directed and conducted by Margaret Taylor, the Singers are accompanied by a 25piece orchestra and joined by dancers as the party scales new heights in this spectacular production.
With a witty libretto and stunning music brought back to prominence by Andre Rieu, you’ll be swept along as the plot unfolds. Will Danilo declare his love for Anna and save Pontevedro? Or will the Frenchman, Camille, played by Colin Dunn, win the day, and condemn the state to nancial ruin?
The story is centred around a nancial crisis in the ctional state of Pontevedro. Unless the newly-widowed Anna Glavari marries a Pontevedrian, the state will be plunged into bankruptcy. Viera Keogh sings the widow, a role such Australian luminaries as Joan Sutherland, June Bronhill and Yvonne Kenny played many times. Viera is joined by Rod Johnson, singing the playboy Count Danilo, Ian McMaster as Baron Zeta, the Pontevedrian Ambassador in Paris, Evalee Sharples as the Baroness, and Ian Rix as Njegus, the Embassy Secretary. Performances are June 11 and 12 and June 18 and 19 at the Maleny Community Centre. Tickets are selling in Maleny Information Centre and Trybooking.com/BZBED. With thanks to the Sunshine Valley Gazette for this story: https://www.facebook.com/ SunshineValleyGazette Pictured: Maleny Singers are preparing for their upcoming performances of The Merry Widow.

Maleny's First 12 Selections
This map shows the rst post European land selectors and land selections made on the Blackall Range. The highlighted names are the rst selectors, whereas the names visible underneath may re ect later owners. Isaac Burgess made the rst selection on 12th November 1878. It is interesting that all except one selection have frontage on the Obi Obi Creek, and one property, that of Joseph McCarthy, actually straddles the creek. Note the position of the Walker and the Dunlop selections, that relate to the front page story of where folk used to gather for community and sporting events prior to the development of the Maleny Showgrounds. Walkers land is the land upon which the Maleny Showgrounds were later built. The hatched selection indicated is that of Joseph Eyles - where the Pattemore family built their dairying property in 1907 after purchasing their blocks from Boxsells in a land sale in 1906.
Adair has worked with the NRL and other sporting organisations at the top level. He specialises in the development of programs that deal with consequences of inappropriate behaviour. There will be snacks and a cash bar from 5.00 pm. Please RSVP for catering purposes to malenysportspark@gmail.com by 10th June. Protect your club, members and players by being informed. We hope to see you on 13 June. This program has been made possible by the Speak up Now. Stop Domestic and Family Violence collaboration between the Rotary Club of Maleny, Zonta Club of Blackall Range, and the Maleny Neighbourhood Centre and is supported by:
Green Bins on the way The Sunshine Coast Council will roll out a bin speci cally for garden waste as from July 2022. These bins will be emptied on the same day as the general waste bin. This bin is to reduce further the amount of waste going to land ll.

Saving the Dark
Have you signed the petition yet to save Maleny’s dark skies? Details are below and we know our star-studded skies and wildlife would love to have your support. Did you know that Maleny is recognised as the last area of coastal South East Queensland not severely affected by light pollution – and we’d like to keep it that way! The major contributor to light pollution is street lights, especially those that shine light above the horizontal – with dire consequences for nocturnal wildlife such as owls and moths – and viewing of our starry nights. To enjoy the stars and protect nocturnal wildlife for years to come, here’s a good petition to change bulbs and ttings with the
objectives to bene t wildlife, preserve the precious Maleny night sky environment and – big plus – be more energy ef cient! Click the link to open the E-Petition: https://www.parliament.qld.gov.au/Work-of-theAssembly/Petitions/Petition-Details?id=3730 OR Point your mobile’s camera at the QR Code here to take you all the details on where to sign! Unfortunately the Qld Parliament Website was down last week so you may have encountered their error page if you tried to sign then - never give up!

The Range Croquet Club - Maleny Thursday 19th we ventured out with rain appearing imminent and warnings of it on the BOM site. We were lucky. It held off for most of the afternoon allowing us some decent play though the lawns were very heavy with water in the ground and fast growing grass slowing it even further. The ground is so wet that when hoops are pulled there’s a de nite peaty smell to the ground which is only a good thing if you are into making whisky. Donna Manning and Lynette Evans played an instructional game of ricochet. Sarah Widin and Wallace Roy played a “friendly” against Helen Andrews and Dianne Horsman with no scores recorded. On lawn 2 Ken Barker and Nick Cram played a game where Ken won 26 – 7, pegging out just as the rain arrived. Next day, Friday 20th, we went to Nambour to play in “rain, hail, or shine” against a Nambour club team. We played three games of Association two singles and one doubles and the same in Ricochet to determine which Sunshine Coast clubs would go to Brisbane to play in the Centenary of Croquet tournament for each of those codes.
Fortunately the rain stayed away until the end of play. Play days: Thursday and Sunday 1.00 pm for 1.30. Contact Sarah Widin for other days. Please arrive at 1 pm for games to be arranged by 1.15. Coaching: is available on Saturday mornings at 8 am Our web address is: https://rangecroquetatmaleny.org.au For details contact Sarah Widin 0417640704 (President )
Court
Hire.
Our courts may be available for community use or for special events, like workplace team-building or social gathering. Our croquet equipment may be available for your guests in some special occasion (e.g. wedding) if suitable grounds are available. If you are interested, please phone, email or use the contact page.
The attached photo below left shows Bill Habner on Nambour lawn 4 attempting hoop 10 with the yellow ball behind ready to go to hoop 11 with the black ball waiting as a pioneer.
Time constraints meant the games had to be played as nal teams must be selected by the middle of June. Our team consisted of Donna, Sarah, Wallace, Lynette, and Ken. Nambour elded Bill Habner, Robyn Pettman, Noel Stoddart and Judy Starr. Once again waterlogged lawns made play more dif cult. The Range won the Association section two games to one moving us to the next round. Nambour prevailed in the ricochet event, also winning 2 games to 1.
