Dillon Bryden Traces His Great - Great - Grandfather’s Footsteps in Mount Morgan and Rockhampton

Dillon at St. Mary’s Church

Saturday 17th March 2018 was a busy but emotionally moving day for Dillon Bryden who made his first visit to Mount Morgan. Dillon is the great - great - grandson of Mr James Wesley Hall, Mount Morgan Mine’s first General Manager and the township’s first Mayor.

Dillon wasn’t just vacationing in Australia, but came over from the UK for work at the Commonwealth Games, as Head of Press Operations for Aquatics.

Dillon has been here for 7 weeks now and has only a few more weeks left before returning back home.

Dillon and partner Amanda made the drive from the Gold Coast on Friday, stayed in Rockhampton for the night, then started their Mount Morgan journey Saturday morning with former Mount Morgan Mine Chief Engineer Dr Ray Boyle.

The weekend itinerary Ray had planned for Dillon and Amanda was certainly an eventful one.

The day began with a ‘welcome to Mount Morgan’ at Saint Mary’s Anglican Church Saturday morning with residents of the town for morning tea.

(The Church plays a significant part in the history of Wesley Hall: he had donated the bricks for the Church from the Mount Morgan mine, and wanted the design to be similar to the church back in his homeland of England).

L-R: Betty Broom, Ray Boyle, Elaine Millers, Dillon Bryden & Annie Hare

But it didn’t stop there, Ray had organised a trip to the Rockhampton Frenchville Sports Club where Dillon was able to view (and hold) the famous silver-plated Wesley Hall Cup, and this photograph is on the front page of this issue.

“I was quite excited about coming to Queensland and I hoped to get away and come up here. We have always known about Mount Morgan, but Wesley’s daughter who was my great - grandmother, was born in Melbourne.

“So for us, Melbourne was a thing in our past, and Mount Morgan was a place we knew very little about.

This was something I had to do!

“I’ve never had an opportunity to come to Mount Morgan before. Of course it’s quite far away from the UK, so when the opportunity came up for the Commonwealth games, I knew exactly what I could do with that. - Come to Mount Morgan,” stated Dillon.

This was followed by a visit to the Mount Morgan Masonic Lodge with a short stop for lunch at a local hotel and stroll along Morgan Street, and then on to visit the Mount Morgan Historical Museum.

Pictured above L-R: John Ramm (Church Warden), John Hook (Masonic Club), Dr. Ray Boyle (former Chief The day in Mount Morgan was certainly an eye opener for Engineer), Barry Batchelor (Masonic Lodge), Jim Wyatt Dillon. “I was really proud, that over 130 plus years later, (Masonic Lodge), Keith Hare (Lay Minister & Priest’s there is still a town that remembered these people, and Warden) outside St. Mary’s Anglican Church before particularly my relatives, and that people here would be so the tour of the Masonic Lodge of which Wesley Hall welcoming” stated Dillon. was a foundation member.

There were many stories shared between local residents, previous Mount Morgan mine employees, and Dillon during his weekend visit here. Residents were delighted to discover that Dillon also celebrated his Birthday on Saint Patrick’s Day. The trip to Mount Morgan was something Dillon has wanted to do for a long time. Unfortunately this trip wasn’t long enough with Dillon stating “I will be coming back, I would need to stay for at least one week”.

“It was quite overwhelming”, stated Dillon. “Thank you to Dillon, Amanda and Ray returned to Mount Morgan on everyone who has made us so welcome.”

Sunday morning the 18th March 2018, for a tour of the Historic Rail Museum and the town and mine with TMC Those who met Dillon and Amanda can’t wait for their return!

Tours.

Dillon was able to set foot on the site where his great great - grandfather worked. The building where Wesley’s many important decisions were made, and photographs of other family members (Walter Hall and Thomas Hallbrothers to James Wesley Hall) were still on display in the offices.

Photos supplied by Dillon Bryden, Eve-lyn Rogers and John Ramm.

It was moving for everyone in attendance as Dillon sat down at the desk in the office of his great - great grandfather (photo above) and looked over the open cut alongside Dr. Ray Boyle (photo right) who had by this time become a firm friend to Dillon.

Wesley Hall

‘Mr. Hall was the manager of the mine in the historic year when £1,100,000 was paid in dividends ... In private life Mr. Hall was very quiet and unostentatious. No stranger would have suspected the existence of his wealth from a casual meeting with him, but he was, nevertheless, a most generous supporter of charitable objects’ (Morning Bulletin (Rockhampton, Qld: 1878-1954), 17 January 1901). c. 1885 / English-born James Wesley (‘Wesley’) Hall (1839-1901) / General manager of the Mount Morgan Syndicate from 1884 to 1886 (successor to Ned Morgan) / First general manager of the Mount Morgan Gold Mining Company Limited (‘Old Company’) from 1886 to 1891 / Director of the Old Company from 1888 to 1901 / Foundation member of the Mount Morgan Masonic Lodge in 1888 / Founder of the Mount Morgan Brass Band in 1889 / First president of the Mount Morgan Hospital Committee in 1889, who established Mount Morgan’s first hospital in 1890 / First mayor of the Mount Morgan Borough Council from 1890 to 1891 / Benefactor of Mount Morgan’s Saint Mary’s Anglican Church in 1889 or earlier / Benefactor, together with his Melbourne-born wife, Mary Dora Frederica (‘Dora’) Hall (née Dempster) (1864-1895), of the Wesley Hall Cup to the Mount Morgan British Association Football [Soccer] Union in 1894 / Younger brother of Walter Russell Hall (1831-1911) and Thomas Skarratt Hall (1836-1903), original directors and shareholders of the Old Company / Son of Walter Hall (1798-1857) and Elizabeth Carleton Skarratt (1804-1862) / Father of May Elizabeth Wesley Hall (1890-1982), Dora Maryan Wesley Hall (1891-1948) and Florence Milfred Georgena Canning Hall (1894-1970).

People in Profile ststeer r w e r B Logan by Owen Brew

Around age 4 Logan would play drums on a makeshift kit made from buckets.

When we moved to Rockhampton in 2001 he got his first actual Drumkit for Christmas at age 5. He loved Peter Criss and Eric Carr from Kiss and would play along to DVDs.

Logan would also do concerts for everyone with his big sister Kirsten and his Poppy Bill Nolan on guitars. A special Semi Soundproof room was built under the family home in Park Avenue for music practice and this room became a popular practice venue for lots of Rocky Musos over the years.

He started Drum lessons when he was in grade 4 at St Joseph’s Park Avenue with well-known Rocky Drummer Paul ‘Spike’ Glover. Paul recognised straight away that Logan had a natural talent way beyond his years.

“We tried to expose both kids to as much Live music as we could and often spent Friday and Saturday nights at the Rocky Brothers Club. One particular night when the ‘Thunderbirds’ were playing Logan had a chat to the drummer Peter Daley during the break.”

“Peter let him play his kit and that was the beginning of their friendship. Peter became Logan’s mentor and whenever the Thunderbirds played at the Brothers Club, Kirsten and Logan would get up and play 2 songs with them. The 2 songs for Logan grew to the whole last set.”

When their Uncle Kelvin Nolan moved to Mount Morgan, they formed a band with Poppy Bill, Kelvin, Kirsten and Logan and our good friends Barry Saunders and Alan Bloomfield. The Band was called ‘Generation 3’ for 3 Generations of the family. Generation 3 played a few Birthdays and other Functions.

Both Kirsten and Logan entered Capricornia Country Music association talent quests for a few years and a drummer doing an Instrumental in a Talent Quest was something very different.

Kirsten was usually lucky enough to take out first place with her Shadows instrumental on guitar and Logan taking out a minor place one year with ‘Wipeout’ and another year with a Composition he and Peter Daley came up with.

to be Drummer for one of the house bands at the Nanango Country Music Festival. He did his first one at age 13 in 2010 and over the next 7 years played with some of Australia’s finest including Stuie French, Michel Rose, Dan Manning, Ricky Schipp, Michael Vidale, Dean Perrett, Jeff Brown, Anne Kirkpatrick and many more. Logan played with a few different Artists in Rocky, but most notably Angelo and Ryan Conway (The Short Fall) with his good friend Steph Quinlan on Bass.

Logan was also lucky enough to meet and play with the incredibly talented Kate Leahy who most music lovers in Mount Morgan will remember for bringing some great artists including Wendy Matthews and Sara Storer to the School of Arts and many Logan would film a lot of his playing other Country towns in Queensland. and post to Youtube, Facebook and Logan moved to Brisbane in 2016 Instagram and over the years this to further his Music Career and on has caught the eye of a few people, a return visit home received a offer especially Jeremy Marou (Busby from Matt Cornell, bass player for ‘The Marou) who actually started as a Baby Animals’ and current bass player/ drummer himself, who Logan got Musical director for Adam Brand, to meet at about age 11 and they Golden Guitar nominated Artist in have been good friends ever since. his own right. Matt had seen Logan’s Logan started playing with some of the seasoned well know musicians from this group, Allan (Matt) Dillon, Paul Tew, Ned Dodd and (Poppy) Bill Nolan as “Gunsmoke”.

Logan has been lucky enough to play with Busby Marou on a few occasions when they played at the Pilbeam Theatre and when their regular Drummer DJ was married. He also caught the eye of Neil Butler who is also a Drummer and from a well-known Country Another variation of Generation 3 was Music family from Tamworth. with Mount Morgan local Roy Aitchison and Dave Bate who played a few gigs in Neil recommended him to MultiMount Morgan as well.

Golden Guitar winner Dean Perrett

videos on Instagram and asked if Logan would be interested in performing with both him and Adam Brand when they needed a drummer.

Logan jumped at the chance and did a few shows in 2017 including the last 2 shows of Adams National Tour in Tasmania. He also played with him this year at the Tamworth Country Music Festival and will be performing with him in the future as part of his current lineup.

Pride in Your Town What with the rain that recently flooded North Queensland perhaps we could take a moment and recall the worst flood Mount Morgan experienced in 1928.

The rain on April 21 and 22 at the site of the “Diggers Rest” Hotel at Struck Oil was 22 inches which fell in a 12 hour period. This resulted in flood waters rising to a height never before experienced.

The Big Dam wall proved to be unequal to the strain of the flood waters and with floating logs failed to withstand the enormous pressure causing a portion of the wall 100ft long and 2 ft wide to give way and crashed on the rocks below.

The Dee River in the town area ran a banker and water was washing over bridges, the East street traffic bridge (where the swinging bridge is today) and the Carmody Bridge. Traffic was well controlled at both bridges.

Sadly, swinging bridges, both at East Street, Red Hill and Tipperary Point were washed away and never recovered.

Other damage was to Byrnes Parade road way, many outhouses and other buildings were also washed away. The Mount Morgan Mining Company’s water mains from the Big Dam were severely twisted and bent as were the Gas Mains.

As a result of this damage to the gas mains the town was plunged into darkness which badly affected the hospital.

Another business the Mount Morgan Hotel at the lower end of Morgan Street had over 6inches in the bar room. The water coming at such force could not get around the bend so went straight into the hotel. Downstream there was a great loss of livestock.

It really was a night of terror for residents in Byrnes Parade and River street as the noise of the rushing water was a frightening experience. The greatest disaster of all was the loss of 7 lives from Fletcher’s Creek, six members of the Williams family and Larry Muldoon. No community needs floods.

o000o Seeing as Easter is just around the corner and eggs are used on the occasion as gifts it is good to know how this tradition originated. The oldest tradition was to use dye on chicken eggs, but a modern custom is to substitute chocolate eggs wrapped in colourful foil.

Although eggs in general, were a traditional symbol of fertility and rebirth, in Christianity for the celebration of Eastertide, Easter eggs symbolize the empty tomb of Jesus from which Jesus resurrected. In addition, one ancient tradition was the staining of Easter eggs with the colour red. “in memory of the blood of Christ, shed at that time of his crucifixion.

The custom of Easter eggs started in Mesopotamia spreading through Russia and later into Europe through Catholic and protestants Churches. Today eggs can be hidden for children to find on Easter morning which may be left by the Easter Bunny. Many children enjoy the Easter egg hunt but sadly have no idea of the real meaning of the egg.

Have a happy Easter.

Monday 2nd April 10am - 11am Mount Morgan Railway Complex (all children must be accompanied by an adult please)

Children grade 6 and under.

Colouring - In competition winners announced at 11am after the egg hunt.

Fairway Scales

By Graeme Meade

Wally Hall Memorial Golf Day

7.

I have had lots of different scales come through the years. (It’s Collectables and Memories third birthday this week.) Some domestic, some industrial, but the common dominator of most of the scales that I get in is that they are missing something or are broken. Pictured Above Front: Wally’s wife Cheryl & son Barry - Back from left: Daughters Letani, Sharryn, Julie, Angela & Bronwyn Domestic ones would be missing the weights, the tray or both.

The Wally Hall Memorial 3 Person Ambrose Competition was held at the Mount Morgan Golf Club on Saturday 17th This week I received a set of domestic scales made by March 2018.

‘Fairway’ Melbourne from the 1930s. It is steel and painted cream with an alloy bowl and imperial measure Winners: Guy, Nick & Callum Van Druemel (52 ½ nett) weights 2LB, 1LB, 8OZ, 4OZ, 2OZ, 1oz. At first I thought Runners Up: Lance, Josh & Shaun Antcliff (52 2/3 nett) the bowl was not original, should be steel I thought, Sixteen Nearest The Pin, Long Drive & Accuracy shots were but after some research realized that this is correct. The also contested. scales are 30cm long, 11cm wide and 17 cm high.

These scales were made by Fairway Domestic Scales Company (Domestic Scales Manufacturer) in Melbourne, I cannot find any information about them, but they were still making scales simular to these ones into the 1960s. There is a sticker on the scales that says ; MADE BY / DOMESTIC SCALES / FAIRWAY / MELBOURNE AUST. The scales are very second hand looking, there is rust showing and the paint is very chipped, but they are complete, that is a very important thing for a collectable. The only better thing would be to have the original box.

Three raffles were conducted with proceeds going to the Qld Cancer Council and all trophies were supplied by the Hall Family who gathered around the sign and seat which was erected behind No 6 Tee in Wally’s memory.

It was a great day of golf and fellowship. Thank you to all who supported the event to honour Mount Morgans’ Wally

Biscuits, cakes, puddings, (my favourite things) jam, chutney, persevered fruit and many other things could not have been made without a good set of kitchen scales.

Scales are a popular item with people that want to give their kitchen a vintage look. There are lots of different styles and types.

Into this stifling environment are born seven identical sisters and the decision must be made... Which of the septuplets will be chosen to survive? Grandad (the always fascinating Willem Dafoe) believes that they should all be given their chance at life, so he makes the fateful decision to keep all seven of the babies.

Their grandfather names the girls (all of them portrayed masterfully by Naomi Rapace) Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday; and as he raises them, trains them, educates them, they are forced to live a hide-and-seek existence while being pursued by the Child Allocation Bureau.

The Bureau, directed by the fierce Nicolette Cayman (Glenn Close does scary so well) enforces a strict family-planning agenda that the sisters outwit by taking turns assuming the identity of one person... Karen Settman. Each of the girls can go outside once a week as their common identity, but they are only free to be themselves inside the prison of their own apartment.

MMSHS’s Uni Experience

On the 9th of March the year 12 students of Mount Morgan High were invited to attend the CQU experience day at the Rockhampton University campus. With students eager to explore the diverse range of opportunities there were on offer, the school saw all year 12 students attend. Overall the event was flawless allowing students’ insight into their chosen fields of study whether that be TAFE Courses or university degrees. We saw many students from the school attend the nursing fields as possible options to pursue toward the end of their secondary studies.

In this unit students learnt about the career options and pathways. They also learnt what is associated with the role and got to experience various exercises in relation to nursing including observations and practical elements.

Some Students attended the engineering fields where they gained insight into the task and roles that are fulfilled by an engineer. The importance of the role was also discussed in It’s a great plan.

Mount Morgan Ambulance News

by Justin Nehring

I would like to introduce myself as the new Officer in Charge here in Mount Morgan for the next 4 months. I am very keen and proactive and I enjoy getting out in the community and meeting the locals and businesses. I have been up in Marlborough so this is a bit of change. I also wish to promote that we are here 24hrs a day, 7 days a week, so please call anytime in the event of an emergency.

In an emergency: • If using your normal landline (the house phone) dial triple zero (000) • If using your mobile phone, dial 112 or 000.

For owners of smartphones, there is an app called Emergency+. This app is very handy, having the numbers for all three services and also a GPS location facility, enabling you to state your location if away from town.

Check it out on your phones app store. Please note however that this is not produced by QAS. Can we see your property number from the road.? particularly at night? Please ensure paramedics can clearly see your number whilst in a moving vehicle. The number needs to be at least 10cm (4 inches) high, in a contrasting bright color.

North Queenslanders have borne the brunt of major flooding over the last week, and it may be time to brush up on a few safety procedures.

During this time and weather events: • Avoid being out in a storm - Sounds logical, but you would be surprised how many people are injured by lightning, hail and flying debris, because they did not seek shelter, or they ventured out side during the storm.

• Do not drive into flooded crossings or waterways – How many times do we have to witness the tragic consequences of this action? Always assume that a road covered with water is washed away.

• Do not swim in flooded waterways or drains. The dangers are drowning, spinal injuries, fractures and lacerations, and of course infection from contaminated water. Remember, flood water is a biologically infective hazard until the bacteria and fungi have a chance to stabilize.

•

When storms are around, keep out of drains and waterways. Water can be over you in a flash.

• After the storm, be aware of fallen power lines – electrocution is a real threat from fallen lines. If you are close enough to see them, you are probably too close. Do not touch a metal fence, as there could be fallen lines elsewhere in the neighbourhood, making the whole area live.

•

Avoid sharp glass and metal edges.

•

Be aware of frightened wildlife, particularly snakes, taking shelter under fallen debris.

Cheers and thanks. Until next time, stay safe.
