WATTLE DAY AWARD WINNERS

Award Winners...from Page 1 Kirra Swain and Peter Richardson were announced the 2019 Wattle Day Award Winners at Saturday, 7 September’s Wattle Day festivities held at the Mount Morgan Railway Station and Visitor Information Centre.

Mount Morgan Promotion and Development received several strong entries for the award, but found it difficult to separate the application for Kirra and Peter.

Kirra has during the last few years been available to help out at community functions and assists neighbours and friends. She had completed a major art project for the Central State School in her own time. This year Kirra took on the role of Secretary of the Golden Mount Festival Association and Community Service Club.

Above: The Folly Foot Line Dancers entertain and below visitors Ania and Adam Godecki from Melbourne enjoyed the hospitality on offer at Wattle Day.

Peter Richardson, despite his role with the Queensland Police, spends a lot of his spare time helping out people in the community, going about it in a quiet and unassuming way.

The crowd at Wattle Day was down on previous years, but those who attended enjoyed the range of entertainment, from Alma Graham’s poetry recitation, to the Rocky Rollers and Folly Foot Line Dancers. All entertainers offered their time for free and this was greatly appreciated.

Golden Mount Nursery, as in previous years, provided Mount Morgan Wattle seedlings.

Thanks go to Murray and Diane for their continued support.

Mount Morgan Promotion and Development would like to thank everyone who contributed through loaning equipment, providing entertainment and those who volunteered to assist with the barbecue or Devonshire Teas.

More than $2500 was raised for Cancer at the Grand Hotel on Friday, 6 September as members of the community coloured or cut their hair or lost their beards or in some cases, lost both hair and beards.

Among the people sacrificing their tresses were Josh Tremaine, Jim Sealy, Nicholas Stock and Corinna Gasler. Before Friday night Nicholas hadn’t cut his hair in three years, and Corinna has never had a hair cut. Robert Gasler had the word “Sisters” cut into his hair and shaved his beard, while postmaster, Ian Traynor (above) paid to have his hair and beard coloured pink.

THE ORANGE DOT

By Larry at Fox Video

Movie Review GONE ARE THE DAYS So good to see Lance Henriksen still working. Often best remembered as Bishop from the ALIEN series, Lance’s filmography, going all the way back to 1961, when JFK was wrestling with Cuba and the USSR, is simply astounding and with so many hugely successful titles we’ll always recall and refer to in conversation. Now seventynine years old, Lance shows no signs of easing up, still releasing an average of five films per year (amazingly in 2016 he featured in ten films), and he still finds time to work on the FOX television series, MILLENNIUM.

days left so he leaves Taylon with a bottle of pure heroin for the pain and to help him sleep, promising to bring a priest back with him when he returns.

Of course the heroin also affects Taylon’s reasoning and consciousness, so when he reflects upon his long and chequered history as a bankrobber, standover man and wanted outlaw, he decides to try and go out not with a whimper but in a blaze of glory. Besides, there’s his estranged daughter whom he’s never done much for...

He’s gonna rob a bank and give all of the loot to her... That is, if he can make it out of bed.

In GONE ARE THE DAYS Mr Henriksen turns in a performance deserving of an Oscar, proving that not only has he still “got it”, but that his acting chops are finer than ever. He shares the screen in this little gem with another of our old favourites, Tom Berenger; and Danny Trejo gives a menacing performance as The Ferryman.

One final heist and he can rest with his reputation restored and his daughter’s future secured.

He knows the bank... Durango.

But Taylon doesn’t realize that the dogged Texas Ranger who hunted him relentlessly for so many years (Tom Berenger) is now the somewhat eccentric but fair-minded sheriff of the town.

Taylon knows he’s on his last legs.

The Doc figures he has only a few

Then, en route to the job, Taylon discovers that his lovely daughter

has fallen on hard times and has had to resort to a less-thansavoury lifestyle in order to survive. Taylon’s got a lot to do before he even reaches for a gun in his last big robbery - and a lot of explaining to do, given that his daughter has no idea who he really is. But he’s got to get her out of there...

GONE ARE THE DAYS runs for one hour and forty, it’s rated M for “mature themes, violence, sexual references and coarse language”, and it is sprinkled with dry humour throughout, like condiments on a fine meal.

“Save the last bullet for...” GONE ARE THE DAYS - loved it!

Pride in Your Town NOW WE HAVE NONE! By Gary J. Matthews (Vietnam Veteran)

have a delicacy! It was called a Sunday roast chicken.

Ten years ago Australia had five car manufacturers, Ford, GMH, Nissan, Toyota, and Mitsubishi.

Now we have none. All gone overseas and the reason given was costs were too high. Funny, in that the cars we are now importing (from Malaysia etc) are no cheaper.

I remember when we all had trade skills and high grade tools that would last and last. But most of all we had Mates. We, as Australians watched each other’s back even if we had not met. We said G’Day to all with a smile. Kids could go anywhere they liked on their bikes, just as long as they were home by dark. Yes, Australia was once a self-supporting nation and a pretty safe place.

I remember back in 1968, living in Brisbane, when the three major cities back then were Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide and Adelaide was the Industrial city.

Adelaide was where you went to work in the Iron Ore Industry, or where you could get a job making railway tracks for BPH. You could get a job building ships, submarines, cars, washing machine, fridges, TV.s, Hills hoists, Victa Motor Mowers or make tyres at Bridgestone.

Our politicians back then were Statesmen and they were voted by the people, for the people, on behalf of the people and did what the people wanted. We had public utilities owned by the people that guaranteed electricity, water and sewage forever.

I remember catching a train, passing through many small towns, all jostling with activity and on the weekends were all open for business. In our shops shelves were stacked with food and products all proudly made and grown in Australia.

No one knew how much the Snowy Mountain Scheme cost.

We just built it. No one knew how much the Sydney Harbour Bridge cost or the Indian-Pacific Railway cost! We just BUILT IT. Then came Corporation Greed and everything has gone. We watch each other through security bars, burglar alarms and security screens. Now everything has GONE.

Our fridge was full of lamb chops and steaks because we were a huge lamb and beef growing nation. Once a month we would

We import poor quality processed food, cheap tools that break while being taken out of the package and we rely on ships to bring in

our fuels. We cannot afford our own lamb and beef anymore, we import trade skill workers on 457 Visa’s, we have high unemployment as nearly all our Industry and Manufacturing has also gone off shore.

In many states we have railway stations and tracks, but No trains.

We have Hospitals and Clinics but very few Doctors and Nurses. We have Mobile phones but in many areas no reception.

The same applies to digital TV in the country where no signal is always available. However the worst of all is our once great nation is being sold off, piece by piece to every other country on earth. It is very sad but true! Enjoy what is left while you can.

How about what Mount Morgan has lost! An operating mine, trains to Rockhampton and the beach, swinging bridges, rail track for tourist train, rail and traffic bridges, electrical business, plus others, hotels closing, no banks, no heated pool, grandstand at Newman Park and closing of many Churches, possibly many more that you may think of.

Sad but we have also lost the friendliness of our community as we once worked together then played together.

Think clean – Be Tidy.

MOUNT MORGAN IS HEART & SOUL OF QUEENSLAND Taking on Mount Morgan’s closed Leichhardt Hotel in April 2019 was a challenging adventure for Tracy and Karl Belzner, considering that neither has ever been involved in operating a hotel before.

However the choice was easy for Karl who believed that Mount Morgan has the heart and soul of Australia that has been lost in the Southeast Corner. Karl was previously into commercial cleaning and racehorse transportation and spent many days on the road, away from his family.

Heart and Soul...From Page 7

We were living in the Lockyer Valley and there was no work for Tracy. When we decided to make the move, securing a job for both Tracy and myself was the one of main considerations,” he said.

During their job search they investigated motels, roadhouses and gold mining leases. When they came across the Leichhardt Hotel opportunity, Karl knew it was what they were looking for. Karl had spent a day in Mount Morgan about 25 years ago and the loveliness of the town left a lasting impact on him. Having lived in Gatton previously, Karl and Tracy realised that it was fast becoming a suburb of Brisbane.

“We wanted the country lifestyle and we’ve found it in Mount Morgan,” Karl said.

Since arriving they have been fighting the old building’s “gremlins” and getting the paperwork in order to meet government regulations.

“Government departments are thorough and they ensure that all regulations are met,” he said.

“They treat people from the country towns the same as they treat city people and there should be some delineation because of the different roles they play.”

According to Karl, country hotels play an important role in the social wellbeing of a community.

“Hotels in country towns are meeting places for good and bad times. Country hotels and city hotels are like chalk and cheese - they play different roles and meet different needs,” Karl said.

The amount of red tape they had to wade through delayed the opening, but this didn’t dampen their spirits as they continued to strive to achieve their lifestyle change. Karl and Tracy are aware that they are opposition to other hotels in Mount Morgan and they are planning to offer a unique experience. Karl and Tracy have two children, Jackson and Alex, who Karl wants to grow up as “little bush kids”. Karl said he was very humbled by the welcome he received when he arrived in Mount Morgan.

The Leichhardt Hotel is open seven days a week, with meals on offer on Wednesdays through Sunday.

DEE RIVER OLDIES Packed up with everything we needed, Damper at the Dam day had finally arrived. The tables and chairs were set up and the music man had arrived.

The weather was fine and the members and their guests arrived to enjoy the day catching up with friends and enjoying a cuppa with their damper, curry mince, rice and the listening to the music.

Noelene Cunynghame was the lucky winner of a beautiful crochet rug made and donated by one of the members. The $25 IGA vouchers were won by Suze Crane, Greta Verkerk and Chris Izzard.

Everyone had a good day and looking forward to next year. The steering committee would like to thank everyone who helped to make this day possible.

Mount Morgan is a very special place to call home.

Our next monthly meeting is on Tuesday 17 September 2019 at 2 pm and the musical morning tea is on Wednesday, 25 September 2019. Morning tea cost is $5.

The meeting and morning tea are held at St. Mary’s Hall, Gordon Street (Behind the Anglican Church).

Until next time stay happy and healthy.

FINDING THE POLICING BALANCE

“It’s a great little country town - pretty much the same as other towns.

“There’s a lot of community pride in Mount Morgan,” he said.

Matthew has been a Queensland Police officer for 13 years, starting in Rockhampton, then moving to Biloela, Texas (on the Queensland-New South Wales border) and Gin Gin before coming to Mount Morgan.

He believes that his method of policing is one of getting the balance right between meeting the expectations of the State or Government and meeting the expectations of the community.

Officer in Charge of Mount Morgan Police Station, Matthew Harling (pictured above) has been on the Mount Morgan beat since the end of April and during that time he has come to really like the Mount Morgan community and its people.

11 - 25 September 2019

“It’s a delicate balance. I am pretty easy-going and would much prefer to help people through whatever it is they are going through as opposed to sending them straight to court, especially with the local people who you are living with all of the time,” he said.

Unfortunately, Matthew realises that this is not always possible and the laws have to be observed.

HISTORY MAKING LORIKEET SEASON Even before the first whistle blew on the 2019 season, it was apparent that it would be unique in the history of rugby in this region.

The first ten weeks would be a round robin involving all clubs and teams after which the top five teams would form the A grade competition and the remaining six would make up the reserve grade competition. The feeling in the club was that given the relative performance in previous years Mount Morgan would be one of two or three “reserve grade” likely to fill that last spot in the A grade competition.

The Lorikeets first scheduled game of the season was to be against Gladstone however it seemed as though the Mount Morgan playing group was not ready begin the season that week and due to a lack of numbers the decision was made to forfeit this match.

The next match was against Brothers Reserve in Rockhampton and the playing group was finally ready to take the field. Brothers were unable to match the pace of Mount Morgan’s backs and The Lorikeets ran in 64 points to Brothers 10.

The following two matches were back to back games against a very strong Drovers team. While there were positives for Mount Morgan to take out of these matches, both were convincing wins to Drovers, 40 – 7 the first week and 40 – 14 the second.

The middle part of the season proved to be very frustrating for The Lorikeets who only played one game between rounds 5 and 10. This one game was against Brothers A in Gladstone. Brothers won the match comfortably at 26 -14 but on a positive note for Mount Morgan Brothers were kept scoreless in the second half. Mt Morgan had a bye in round 7 then all the other scheduled matches Page 12

in this period were forfeited, one by Mount Morgan and the other three by opposition teams.

Round 11 was the final week before the competition split into A and Reserve grades and there were two important positions still to be determined: the highest placed Reserve grade team and the last team to qualify for A grade.

Both of these positions would be determined by the result of Mount Morgan’s game against Capricorn Coast.

The winner would take the last place in A grade while the loser would drop back to Reserve grade. Despite its importance the game did not prove to be particularly competitive as Mount Morgan scored 62 points to 7 to win not only the game but its first place in A grade since way back in 1990.

Sentiment in and around the club was divided at this development, with some viewing the circumstances as having forced The Lorikeets into A grade in order to prevent them from defending their 2018 Reserve grade premiership. To their credit though, the team and the coaching staff took this as an opportunity to prove their worth against the best that CQ rugby has to offer.

As might be expected the next five weeks playing against these top teams was a great challenge but one that was answered with a great deal of determination and heart by the Mount Morgan players. With five teams in A grade and only four spots available in the finals every game was important but the most crucial proved to be the first against Frenchville, the 2018 A Grade premiers.

A penalty goal on full time gave Mount Morgan the win at 17 – 14 and importantly put them in fourth position on the table with enough of a buffer that there was at least a chance to keep that spot. On a historical note, this was Mount Morgan’s first ever win in an official A Grade match.

MOUNT MORGAN ARGUS

Next up was second placed Gladstone. This was always going to be a tough game but the belief was there that if Mount Morgan put in a good performance, they were in with a fighting chance. Although Gladstone ended up winning the match 28 - 21 thanks to their strong finish, Mount Morgan’s performance earned them a vital losing bonus point.

After a bye week The Lorikeets came up against Brothers A in Rockhampton on a Friday night. For whatever reason Mount Morgan were just not on their game this night. Despite this not being their worst loss of the year at 40 – 17 the on-field performance, particularly in the second half was probably the most disappointing all year.

The Lorikeets last game before the finals was against the top placed Dawson Valley Drovers.

Mount Morgan had not gotten close to Drovers in their two previous meeting but a good performance, even a losing bonus point would secure outright fourth place on the ladder. In a big turnaround from previous games Mount Morgan led for a large portion of the game before the superior fitness of the Drovers took over and they won the game 22 – 12.

As a result, Mount Morgan and Frenchville finished the regular season on the same points.

Fortunately for Mount Morgan, having won a single game more than Frenchville during the season took the higher spot on the table and in another historic first, qualified for the A grade finals.

Finishing fourth meant that every finals game was sudden death and the first semi-final was against Brothers A. Continued on Page 13 11 - 25 September, 2019

Lorikeet Season...From Page 12 The game turned out to be a contest of epic proportions, arguably the match of the season, unfortunately for Mount Morgan though, when the final whistle blew it was Brothers ahead on the scoreboard at 41 – 40.

It’s difficult to quantify this season in such binary terms as success or failure, there were certainly missed opportunities and losses outnumbered wins.

On the other hand, however fourth place in A grade is actually the highest position Mount Morgan has ever achieved in its entire history. The general feeling in the club is that the team performed well this season while at the same time not necessarily living up to its full potential. As a final bonus and reward for a good season Mount Morgan has had three of its players, Tyler Toby, Connor Stewart and Lachlan Buckton participate at representative level, playing for the Rugby Capricornia Brahmans in their recent matches against Mackay and Wide Bay.

GALLERY OPENED Mount Morgan has its own new creative artspace following the opening of the Mount Morgan No. 7 Gallery on Friday, 30 August.

Sole trader, Kirra Swain has nurtured the idea of opening a gallery in Mount Morgan for the last two years. While a sole trader, Kirra is operating the gallery as a social enterprise with volunteers assisting in running the gallery. The gallery offers exhibition space, workshops, Artists in Residence and limited retail art supplies.

“However, we will be taking orders for supplies on a monthly basis, so combined it will allow us better buying power and freight prices,” Kirra said.

About 70 people attended the gallery’s opening night,

enjoying the nibbles, refreshments and entertainment from Jacob Bunn.

The work displayed is largely by local artists, but also includes the work of artists from Yeppoon, Kinka Beach, Emu Park, Gracemere and Rockhampton.

There was arrange of media including resin, oil and acrylic paintings, sculpture, pottery and craft.

Kirra also arranged a Smudge Ceremony and drumming which was performed by Darryl Jacobson.

On the first trading day after opening, Kirra held free workshops which were enjoyed by about 12 children.

Adults even participated in the rock painting. The rocks go towards a Rock Drop/Swap Harmony Tree located in the sculpture garden n the block next door.

The sculpture garden is open to the public.

Depot Manager, Kelly Webster said each month the number of cans, bottles and eligible containers increases.

Kelly says the reason for this growth is that Mount Morgan depot is opened on the weekend whereas other centres do not open.
