Creating art during school holidays
Six months ago, a group of local artists ran the first school holiday program for Mount Morgan children in response to need for activities catering to school aged children and their families.
That it was a success is evident in the participation this time around with workshops filled with kids keen to learn watercolour techniques, weaving, papier-mâché and wind chime building.
Local artist Anne Copeland joined Wild Mount Morgan Clay, the Twisted Weaver and A Shade of Allusion to provide quality art classes in a beautiful child friendly setting in the hills of Mount Morgan.
Sponsored by the Member for Mirani, Stephen Andrews MP and the Soldier’s Room Arts Precinct this two-day event was a celebration of the creativity
found in Mount Morgan. The day began with Anne and watercolour painting. The participants were led through sketching with a grid to transcribe the image and then watercolour painting using the vivid colours of a green tree frog. Dee from the Twisted Weaver gathered her class around under the teepee to transform gathered

sticks into decorative wands, complete with feathers and brightly coloured yarn.
Louise from Wild Mount Morgan Clay engaged the class in the messy job of papier-mâché as they built animal frames from balloons and covered them in newspaper and glue.
Pauline from A Shade of Allusion brought her delicate ceramic birds for all the class to paint with metallic acrylic colours. Once dry the children strung beads and bells on fishing line to create a tinkling wind chime.
Thanks to parent feedback from last school holidays the program offered lunch as an option for a small price, and the group enjoyed eating around the various shady spaces and played on the swings, hammock and trampoline.
Teens Lily and Grace worked in tandem to make delicious coffees for parents and workers alike.
The second artist run program is to be run on Saturday, 28 September from 9 am, until 3 pm and is set to provide printmaking, pot plant decorating, fairy garden sculpture and paint pouring with the help of artworkers Fionn and Shannon in addition to the team of volunteers. The team looks forward to providing quality artist workshops on an ongoing basis during school holidays.
RIDE4LIVES VISIT MOUNT MORGAN
The thrumm of 75 Harley Davidson, Indian and other motorcyles filled the air at the Mount Morgan Historic Railway Station on Saturday, 7 September 2024 at the annual Ride4Lives ride. This is the second time that the ride has incorporated the historic station for a morning tea stopover. Ride4Lives is a Gladstone-based, non-profit organisation established in 2017 to assist in creating awareness around suicide intervention, training and suicide awareness, supporting the Central Queensland area. The morning tea was provided by Mount Morgan Promotion and Development Inc and local people and groups had the opportunity to mingle and chat with the ride participants. The groups that attended were Dee River Oldies, Rotary Club of Mount Morgan, Mount Morgan Men’s Shed and Mount Morgan Branch of Queensland Country Women’s Association. In total more than 110 people attended the event including the rides’ support crew.
Ride4Lives President, Mr Mark Brookes said while numbers were down this year due to a range of circumstances, he was happy with the turnout.
“It’s great to see there are people who are interested in creating awarenss of this very important cause,” he said.
Presenter of the ABC’s Drive program (weekdays from 4 pm), Adam Stephen (pictured below right with Mark Brookes) also attended the event. Adam interviewed Mark Brookes about his involvement with Ride4Lives. Adam also interviewed Neal and Cathie Davies about their struggle with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Adam was travelling through the region on his way back to Cairns where he brings to live the issues and stories of the agricultural industries, communities and people of Far North Queensland. The program aired on Wednesday, 11 September.

MOUNT MORGAN ARGUS DISCLAIMER
PTSD - NOT FOR SOME, BUT FOR EVERYONE
Potential authors are often told to “write what they know” and this certainly applies to Neal and Cathie Davis who have documented their battle with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
In the realm of mental health PTSD stands as a complex and challenging condition, not only for the person suffering, but also for the spouse or family of the sufferer.
Neal worked as a professional counsellor until chronic PTSD ended his career.
Since this time Neal and Cathie have travelled a soul-searching journey into the unknown seeking out better ways to deal with this terrible affliction. Throughout his ordeal, he documented not only his, but Cathie’s struggles and accomplishments and the strategies used to work through some of their difficult moments both individually and as a couple.
These records have been compiled into a book, PTSD/Not Just for Some, But for Everyone, which is available on Amazon in paperback and will soon be released as an e-book.
“We felt it was important to help both those who have PTSD and those who live with or care for someone with it,” Cathie said.
“We also decided to develop a presentation to explain how we have dealth with PTSD and next year we will be looking for organisation who are interested in allowing us to present our story,” she said.
The couple presented their story to various groups but due to the outbreak of COVID-19, they elected to stop the presentation.
They are now working on updating this presentation. If you wish to contact Cathie or Neal you can do so by calling 0400 198 381.
Baree lit up with vibrant new art
On entering Baree School of Arts on 7-September you might be forgiven for thinking a famous artist had deigned to visit our region.
The series of oil paintings displayed on the retro colours of the historic Baree building walls beckoned a closer inspection.
Nancy Liddle’s A Broad Abroad and Home Again exhibition was something to behold, especially when you consider she has only been painting for two years.
Her prolific output and rapid growth in skills makes her an artist to watch.
The swift elegant movement of the underwater
birds was captured with such immediacy by rapid brushstrokes and minimal colour palette.
Her Istanbul series in which she uses a palette knife to apply oil paint, creating a textured appearance to her work are stunning in their simplicity.
Nancy’s representation of Istanbul scenes is fresh and captivating; she effectively uses monochrome earth colours to convey the insides of a columned courtyard and alternately whites and greys to produce in the audience the cold sensation of a wintery Turkish setting.
Nancy presents her series in chronological order so that her exploration and growth as an artist is evident. The palette knife work is a key feature of her Monastery series and colour is introduced with great effect to highlight the fragility of the buildings against the cliff face. She is deftly able to convey a sense of isolation and loneliness in these ancient buildings that one instantly responds to. The final series is a departure from the previous subject matter in one sense and a natural progression in the other. Finally are the unique series of Mount Morgan landmark buildings in miniature.
With several sales on the first day of the exhibition Nancy Liddle can look forward to a bevy of enthusiasts for her work and no doubt many more exhibitions to come.

BIG BATTERY ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM PROPOSED FOR BOULDERCOME
Energy Storage Project No 12 Pty Ltd (a subsidiary of ACEnergy Pty Ltd) has submitted a development application with the Rockhampton Regional Council and seeks approval for a Development Permit for a Material Change of Use and Reconfiguring a Lot. The developer’s application is to establish a 500MW Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) on the land to connect to the Bouldercombe Substation. The development site will be leased for a period of 22 years at which time the project will be decommissioned.
The subject site is located at 53164 Burnett Highway, Bouldercombe.
The subject site is in a rural setting approximately 18km south of Rockhampton and 5km north-east of the Bouldercombe township. The site has a total area of 303 hectares (approx.).
The development site will be located at the north-western corner of the site and has a total area of 10 hectares. This includes area for an underground connection along the western boundary of the site. The development site is predominantly used for cropping, with the broader site used for other rural purposes.
The site is not improved with any buildings. The southern section of the site is encumbered with existing overhead transmission
lines that connect to the Bouldercombe Substation.
The construction phase is expected to occur over a 41-week period.
Approximately 55 jobs will be created during construction and will largely be related to the trenching, cable installation and steel platform installation activities.
DEVELOPMENT SUMMARY

• Each BESS container will be separated by 3m, with a 6m separation provided between a BESS container and a MVPS.
• 176 Medium Voltage Power Stations (approx.) – each MVPS will include a transformer and an inverter and will be installed on an elevated platform supported by concrete footings.
• Each container will be 6.1m long, 2.5m wide and 3m tall and will be constructed of powder
coated steel in a non-reflective white colour finish.
• Connection Asset (including two control rooms and two switch rooms) – the connection asset will comprise 0.8 hectares at the south-western corner of the development site. The control rooms will include offices, a lunchroom, and amenities.
• Storage area/enclosure, internal access tracks and an onsite car parking area.
• Security fencing and CCTV – a 1.8m high chain mesh security fence will be provided around the perimeter of the site.
• Acoustic barriers – three (3) separate acoustic barriers at the following heights and locations: – 4m high between the BESS area and Connection Asset – 4m high along the southeastern side of development area – 6m high surrounding the 2x 275MVA transformers within the Connection Asset The acoustic barriers will be constructed in a grey colour finish.
• Grid connection equipment including switchgear, protection and control equipment, metering, transformers and enclosures/ buildings for housing equipment.

WELLNESS EXPO
The inaugural Bouldercombe Wellness Expo will be held on Sunday, 20 October between 9 am to 3 pm at the Bouldercombe Recreation Complex.
Organiser, Gwen Platts said she wanted to hold the Wellness Expo to inform the community of the many varied healing modalities.
“I am hoping that attendees can go away with more knowledge that will help in the search for ways to boost their mind and body fitness,” Gwen said.
“Hopefully this will make the event an affordable and enjoyable one for everyone involved.”
There will be a silent auction for donated items from stallholders.
Among the auction items are free in home trial of Enagic K8 water ioniser for 1 month ($250), Queen Be 12 month planner ($20), five free play therapy sessions and one free parent consultation ($840) and more.
Admission is by donation, making it an event that anyone can come to and enjoy, paying what they would normally pay at an event of this nature. This will also help those people with an extremely limited budget, making sure they don’t get excluded.
“I believe in the inclusion of everybody, no one is excluded. We are one,” Gwen said.
“I have had a few health scares in the last few years which made me think if I only have a limited amount of time left to make new experiences in this life, what would give my life more meaning? I want to have the best quality of life and make inclusive, affordable mind and body fitness options for everyone at all money levels.
“Organising this event has shown me that I have many options in life, and to find other like minded souls that have the same core values as myself,” Gwen said.
Gwen started the Bouldercombe Wellness Facebook page where you can find up to date information.

Mine site visit for local artists
Three local artists enjoyed a two-hour tour of historic Mount Morgan mine courtesy of Nicky from Heritage Minerals. Mount Morgan Mine General Manager Andrew Lawry welcomed the trio of Nancy Liddle, Louise Jones and Pauline Grabham, to the mine site and enthusiastically pointed out current preparatory excavations and the Heritage Minerals‘ vision for the site.
Fielding tough questions concerning the evaporators and pollution, Andrew explained in detail the chemical processes and environmental improvements which will be implemented as part of the project.
The goal for Heritage Minerals is to extract gold and copper from tailings, reuse tailings water for the site and reduce the contamination of the site
in general.
With online safety induction completed, work boots, high vis shirts and hard hats on, Nicky drove the three around the older historic areas of the Mine.
As artists and keen historians, the ladies enjoyed walking around the famous Linda Decline Winder and building, access point to the site of the disastrous rockfall of 1908 which killed seven men [trove: The Capricornian ‘shocking mine accident’]. The memorial erected in memory of those who died in the accident, the Linda Memorial, can be viewed at the Mount Morgan Cemetery.
Another highlight was getting up close to the iconic ‘Stack’ which is now shorter than the original 79 metres thanks to a lightning strike in 1912 when two metres, were removed, followed by the removal of additional seven metres prior to the closure of the mine in 1990.
The lightning strike scar can still be seen etched down the side of the 750,000 plus bricks used to build the structure.
The old heavy machinery was a popular subject for photography as were the early buildings such as the nurse’s quarters, demolition hut and tunnel openings. Most stunning of all however was the view from the top onto the open cut mine.
The vivid oranges, copper and red tones contrasted with the blue of the water and marbled reflection was produced from the water jets spraying.
No doubt these scenes will soon be immortalized in paint or ceramics by at least one of the artists present.
All three artists have joined together with Nicholai von Tonslamann and Anne Copeland to create artworks for their PopUp Art Exhibition in February 2025 titled ‘Mount Morgan: mine all mine’

DEE RIVER OLDIES MIRANI MESSAGE
With Stephen Andrew, MP
As your member for Mirani for the past 7 years, after careful consideration I decided to join the Katter Australia Party. I made the decision to ensure the best outcome for our electorate, and the state. Read media release on my website: https://stephenandrew. com.au/2024/09/10/mirani-mp-stephen-andrewjoins-forces-with-the-katter-australia-party
In Queensland Parliament last week The Katter’s Australian Party (KAP) Castle Law bill, a critical piece of legislation aimed at strengthening homeowners' rights to defend their properties, was denied. Despite the strong support of more than 40,000 Queenslanders who signed a petition calling for its implementation the current Labor Government failed to bring the Castle Law bill forward for debate. Government bills can be fast-tracked when needed. KAP is committed to reintroduce the Castle Law Bill once parliament resumes after the October election.
Mount Morgan Community Noticeboard Update. Earlier this year it was brought to my attention that residents wanted a Noticeboard available for sharing information with those who do not have social media or internet access. The previous Board was removed in 2023. I made representations to RRC and shop owners to facilitate reinstalling of a Community Noticeboard in the preferred location of Morgan Street. I am happy to announce that a new Noticeboard will be installed in October and located between 59-61 Morgan Street.
Post Office Ramp Update. I met with RRC Mayor Tony Williams recently to discuss the Ramp and to progress some plans for construction. Being Heritage listed will not be a simple or quick process, however, I will continue to champion this cause for the benefit of Mount Morgan residents.

The Dee River Oldies enjoyed their bus trip to Baralaba. It was a good day out seeing the sites along the way. Members took some time out to have a cuppa and a delicious morning tea at the Baralaba Historical Village. Taking time to check out the old buildings and antiques brought back memories of times gone by.
We had to change our plans for lunch as the local hotel had burnt down. By word of mouth, we heard about the Golden Park Retreat at Goovigen. Here they catered for our members to a hot lunch with vegetables and then dessert. They certainly looked after us. Here, you could stroll through the garden and see some of the old machinery and cars on display. Thank you to our bus driver and all that helped make our day.
Just taking time to sit, have a chat and enjoy good food is what we need to do from time to time. Getting away from the everyday dramas of what life throws at us can be good for us.
Our next musical morning tea is on Wednesday 25 September, 2024 starting at 10 am. It is held in St Mary's Hall, Gordon Street, Mount Morgan. (Behind the Anglican). The music is by Bouldercombe Singers. The cost is $5. We look forward to seeing you there. Check out 'Save the Date' on the back page of the Argus for our upcoming meeting and morning teas. Stay happy and healthy. Submitted by the Steering Committee Carol Glover 4938 1995 Colleen Constable 0427 161 131
NOMINATE YOUR HERO FOR AN AUSTRALIA DAY AWARD
Celebrate our community’s hidden heroes by nominating them for a Rockhampton Regional Council 2025 Australia Day Award.
With seven categories open to nominations, Mayor Tony Williams said the awards are a wonderful opportunity to highlight community members who have made an extraordinary contribution or are an outstanding achiever.
“The idea behind the awards is recognising the everyday people in our community who make significant contributions to our Region, making it a great place to live and raise a family,” Mayor Williams said.
“Our hidden heroes can be those who dedicate time to fundraising for important causes, volunteer their time and efforts for local organisations or community groups, or use their talents to represent our Region.
“They often play pivotal roles in our community and inspire those around them, often without even realising it, however their hard work and dedication doesn’t go unnoticed.
“The Australia Day Awards is to highlight the good work these hidden heroes do and a chance for the whole community to say thanks.”
Councillor Cherie Rutherford said the process to nominate someone is simple, with nominations open until Monday, 9 December 2024.
“We invite everyone to nominate a hidden hero who they think has made a positive impact that benefits the community,” Cr Rutherford said.
“The nomination process is simple, start by letting the person know you are nominating them and then head to our website to fill out the online form.
“When filling out the details, think about what the person you’ve nominated has done and why it is worth recognising them.”
As the 2024 Citizen of the Year for the Rockhampton Region, Ivan Richardson encouraged the
community to support the awards by nominating someone they know who goes above and beyond.
“It was a humbling experience for me to be nominated for an Australia Day Award,” Mr Richardson said.
“I was very surprised to be awarded the Citizen of the Year Award and being recognised for serving in the community in various community and charity organisations for over 40 years.
“From my experience being part of the Australia Day Awards ceremony, it was apparent that all the nominees in all the categories
are down to earth people who strive to make a positive difference in their areas of influence in the community, not seeking praise of glory for their efforts.
The 2025 Australia Day Award categories are Citizen of the Year, Young Citizen of the Year, Sports Official of the Year, Sportsperson of the Year, Arts and Culture Award, Community Service Award, Community Initiative/Event
Nominations close on Monday 9 December, 2024. For more information go to the Council’s Website and then to Australia Day Awards.
