Mount Morgan’s May Day weekend Rodeo is back on again.
Mount Morgan Rodeo Association President, Karley Goody said volunteers to assist with the rodeo have been thin on the ground and it was with thanks to the Rockin’ R Rodeo Company led by Robyn Lawton that this year’s will go ahead.
“Everyone has told me what a great rodeo last year’s was, but getting anyone to volunteer has been difficult,” she said.
“My family all chipped in to help,” Ms Goody said.
“Without them, there would not have been a rodeo last year.
Event Organiser, Robyn Lawton said the Goldrush
Rodeo and Stampede would again be held at the Mount Morgan Showgrounds on the Sunday of the May Day weekend.
“We estimate a good crowd of people with many local and interstate cowboys and cowgirls attending,” Ms Lawton said.
“We are family friendly with a good variety of food stalls and amusements for all ages.
“We envisage the rodeo will inject money into the Mount Morgan community as it has done in the past,” Ms Lawton said.
“Come along for an action-packed night of exciting bucking bulls, saddle broncs and barrel racing,” she said.
“Nursery Rhymes and Fairytales” is the theme of the 2024 Golden Mount Festival. After running a poll on Facebook, Nursery Rhymes and Fairytales proved to the most popular theme. The theme is used mostly to give inspiration for the people wishing to enter a float in the procession. There is over $500 up for grabs for procession winners.
The best Overall Float prize has been sponsored by Discover Real Estate. A full list of procession sponsors will be published in future editions of the Mount Morgan Argus.
Golden Mount Festival Association President Mr Gavin Fince said the procession theme was important.
“You need to give people plenty of scope to work with when they are preparing their floats. Last Year’s theme was “Fantasy and Magic” and there were some brilliant entries.
Themes that have been used in the past include “Gold Rush”, “Sports”, “May the Fourth be With You”, “Colours of Our World”, “the Magic of Movies”, “Music and Fashion” and “Flower Power”.
“There have been some great themes over the years, but this year’s theme should appeal to the young and the young at heart,” Mr Finch said.

Mount Morgan Arts Precinct is among 57 recipients across the length and breadth of Australia to be awarded a Nutrien Ag Solutions Community Grant.
The Nutrien Ag Solutions Community Grants Program is run in partnership with the Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal (FRRR).
Nutrien Ag Solutions Rockhampton branch manager Alistair Tippett says “It’s great to be able to support our local communities as they are the backbone of rural Australia. Mount Morgan Arts Precinct is a worthy recipient of the funding, receiving $4,255.00 to increase access to community facilities with funding for a doorway renovation including a ramp to enable access for all members of the community. We believe it is important to have community facilities that are accessible and inclusive to all.”
These organisations are the heartbeat of remote, rural, and regional communities, and raising funds for local projects is getting increasingly difficult. Nutrien Ag Solutions is proud to support them in any way we can.
This is the third year of the grants program, which offers grants of up to $5,000 for projects that contribute to community wellbeing and vibrancy in remote, rural, and regional communities.
Mady Muirhead, Corporate Affairs Advisor at Nutrien Ag Solutions, said that the company is proud to support rural communities to implement futurefocused solutions that are both attainable and sustainable.
“This year we saw almost 200 local Nutrien branches endorse grant applications and we are proud to fund more than a quarter of those projects. Our people live and work in these communities and thanks to their

commitment to building lasting relationships with locals, they know just what projects the community will really value,” Ms Muirhead explained.
Since 2021, the Nutrien Ag Solutions Community Grants Program has awarded more than $750,000 in grants to 167 community-led projects, helping to create long-term positive outcomes for rural places.
“Our team love being part of the community and we are very proud to support a wide range of projects that meet community needs and enhance our towns,” Ms Muirhead said.
The fourth round of the Program is expected to open around June 2024. Community groups looking for funding in the interim should head to the FRRR website.

SOLAR PANELS ARE GO: In a bid to curb ever growing electricity costs, and create a passive income, we applied for an FRRR -Community Led Climate Solutions Grant of $18000.
We are pleased to announce it has been approved, and will go towards the install of solar panels on the Western side of the new roof.
This is to protect the visual integrity of the building, to retain it’s historical appearance from the main viewing direction, and we have been assured any loss of solar input will be negligible. Incredibly grateful for the ongoing support of FRRR.
SALUTING THEIR SERVICE: We are tremendously proud to announce that we have been funded for a proper acknowledgment of the Soldiers Rooms history, with $6500 from the Department of Veterans Affairs.
This will be put towards building a raised garden from sandstone blocks, an upgraded flagpole, permanent uplight, and explanatory plaque outlining the story behind the name of the Hall and the many uses it has had over the years in support of Veterans and their families.
The garden and flagpole will create a roundabout type structure in the block adjacent, currently used for parking. This is the cherry on the top for us, after an extraordinary year of grant successes and super productivity.

It has been a busy time in the Mount Morgan Office taking enquiries and following up for our valued constituents.
Road safety is of great concern and the impacts on current road users of the Moonmera /Poison Creek and Razorback Roads has been on my radar.
Due to on-going additional heavy vehicle traffic, water cartage, industry, construction vehicles and workers on the new water pipeline as well as the condition of the road itself are causing trepidation to road users.
Rockhampton Regional Council (RRC) responded to my correspondence about these matters with the following: “Regarding the give way sign at intersection of Poison Creek Road and Moonmera Road, the main factor influencing the choice between a Stop Sign or Giveaway Sign is sight distance. At this intersection, a person driving on Poison Creek Road and intending to turn onto Moonmera Road/Razorback Road can
We are determined to continue this momentum with the Arts Precinct, and invite all to participate in the journey with us, with working bee’s to commence as the weather cools.

see traffic on either side for a distance that meets the sight distance criteria for a Giveaway Sign.”
Additionally, RRC advised that speed limits are set by the Department of Transport and Main Roads, however, they will conduct a speed limit review on Moonmera Road for southbound traffic from Gracemere/Kabra towards the intersection of Poison Creek Road. Results will be presented to the local Speed Management Committee for consultation and approval.
With the recent inflow of water into Dam No 7, it is Council’s intention to recommission the Mount Morgan Water Treatment Plant in the very near future which will see a gradual reduction in water trucks servicing the Mount Morgan community.
During the course of the construction of the Mount Morgan pipeline, there will likely be speed zone reductions implemented through traffic management plans, so please be vigilant and drive safely.

In a world of euphemisms and catch phrases, one that stands out is “thinking outside the box”. However, for former signalman with Queensland Government Railways (QGR - which later became QR), Malcolm Sidney Powell or “Sid” as he prefers, spent the better part of his life thinking “inside the box”.
The “box” in this instance was the Glenmore Junction Signal Cabin where Sid spent over 25 years working as a signalman.
“I hated school, so started work at 14 years old,” Sid said.
Starting out as a lad porter in 1964 at Toowoomba Sid worked his way up in the Signalman’s Grade.
As a fourth class signalman he was appointed to Glenmore Junction and moved to Rockhampton in
1968. Later this positon was upgraded to third class which he retained.
With the signalman’s position at Glenmore he initially operated the signal frame for the interlocking system which later became a signal panel at the cabin. This controlled the movements of rail traiffic for the Rockhampton to Yeppoon junction and the northern line (main line) and coordinated all the shunts for all sidings between Glenmore and Parkhurst.
“Some days were quite busy,” he said.
As well as the trains to the sidings and Parkhurst Cement works there were also the trains to the Glenmore Power Station.
“We had the coal trains for the Glenmore Power Station and that
would make it busy. All up there would be 20-30 trains a day,’ he said.
Sid said the siding included the flour mills, cement works, Ampol depot, cotton board, Carlton United Breweries, ARC Engineering, Humes and the power station.
“During the night shift there used to be four fast-freighters (fruit trains) from the north to go down to the markets in Brisbane, plus other manned trains,“ he said.
Three signalman operated around the clock with three eight hour shifts. Sid enjoyed the night shift.
“The shunt for the Glenmore Siding started at 4.30 in the morning and worked until midday and the afternoon shunt covered

from 4 until 8.30 pm and later if required. When the shunt finished we had to do the bookwork.
“The bookwork made for a busy night – but it was better than being bored and I enjoyed the work,” he said.
Sid has fond memories of working at Glenmore and of events that took place and in particular in the steam days when a pot-bellied stove graced the cabin. This served them well in winter .
“When I first came to work at Glenmore there was a pot-bellied stove in the cabin. We used coal from steam locomotives.
“We would heat our meals up on the stove and there would always be a hot cuppa. The stove was good in winter” he said.
With the progression from steam to diesel a few changes happened in the cabin.
“They took the pot-bellied stove out and replaced it with a gas-ring as coal was no longer available to run the stove,” Sid said.
The train coming from Rockhampton was issued a bell to warn road traffic along Denison Street.
This bell was passed to the signalman at Glenmore. Sid remembers dodging the bell on ocasions when trains were passing at speed.
Sid said sometimes the bell would go flying.
“Most of the times you would just step out of the way, hand the driver the staff and make sure you didn’t wear the bell.”
There would be times that the signalman would see people drive through the boom gates at the road crossing and this caused a major problem for the day with damage to the boom gates. Often electricians and flagmen were called out to repair the gates and
protect the crossing.
“On occasions if required I would have to go and protect the crossing if the gates failed, but most of the time you couldn’t leave the cabin when there were trains coming,” he said.
While working at Glenmore, Sid felt that he was part of a happy family with minimal staff turnover in the time he worked there unless someone was promoted or retired. Sid was the longest-serving signalman at Glenmore.
“Some `days you wouldn’t see anyone very much – the shunters would go out and come back pretty quickly due to the large number of trains,” he said.
“We handled the coal wagons for the power station. Originally the wagons for the power stations were little, but when the power station increased in sized so did the wagons,” he said.
“We had trouble trying to store the wagons and the shunter was kept busy moving the larger wagons around to make room,” Sid said.
Sid was at Glenmore Junction for the last days of steam locomotives and saw the advent of diesel engines. After the introduction of electrification, Glenmore Junction’s days were numbered, with control of rail traffic reverting to Stanley Street, Rockhampton.
Sid completed the second last shift at Glemore prior to closure and he and his fellow signalman’s days at Glenmore Junction were over.
Displaced signalmen were redeployed to the Railway Workshops. For Sid, this was an end of an era.
His move to the workshops meant he had to work all day shifts, which was the shift he particularly disliked.
“With the night shift or afternoon shift, you could go home and have a few hours sleep then get up and have the rest of the day to do some work or whatever, before your next shift started,” he said.
“You didn’t have this with day shift,” he said. After a few years

Sid opted to take Voluntary Employment Redundancy (VER) in 2000, thus finishing a 36-year long career.
The Glenmore Junction Cabin was relocated to Mount Morgan’s Railway Station in the late 1990’s.
It was refurbished with the station building in 2019 and had an internal makeover retaining its original features in 2022.
Rail Museum Operator, Mount Morgan Promotion and Development Inc (MMPAD) hopes to have the cabin open for guided tour access in the second half of this year.
With the planned opening day special invitations will be given to Sid and his family and other ex-QR that were associated with Glenmore Cabin.
Included in the cabin will be the Train Panel that Sid bought from QR and donated to Mount Morgan. President, and former QR employee, Mr John Steinberger said about 48 years ago, when he was relieving Assistant Station Master at Archer Park, he would interact with Glenmore Junction Signal Cabin and on occasions, signalman Sid, he found him to be a quiet, industrious and competent employee.
“After we received the panel and following up with Sid, I found him to be same guy and it’s great to see this story put together,” he said.
MMPAD will advise the community when the Glenmore Cabin opening day drawers closer.
When you think of St. Patrick’s Day, you might think of green beer, shot glass necklaces that say “Kiss Me, I’m Irish,” and everyone suddenly talking about how Irish they are. That’s all well and good, but you might not know much about the holiday’s origins or the saint it celebrates. Well, take off that stupid hat, let’s get educated. Who was Saint Patrick?
St. Patrick, considered the patron saint of Ireland, was actually born in Banna Venta Berniae, a town in Roman Britain, sometime in the late 300s AD. That’s right, Patrick wasn’t Irish—and his name wasn’t Patrick, either. It was Maewyn Succat, but he didn’t care for that so he chose to be known as Patricius down the line. He actually had many monikers throughout his life: he was known by many as Magonus, by others as Succetus, and to some as Cothirthiacus. But we’ll just call him Patrick since everybody else does.
His father, Calpurnius, was a deacon in the early Christian church, but Patrick wasn’t much of a believer himself. It wasn’t until he was captured by Irish pirates at the age of 16 and enslaved for six years as a shepherd that he chose to convert to Christianity. While in northeastern Ireland, Patrick learned the Irish language and culture before attempting to escape back to Britain. But Patrick wasn’t very good at escaping apparently, because he was captured again. This time by the French. He was held in France where he learned all about monasticism before he was released and sent home to Britain where he continued to study Christianity well into his twenties. Eventually, Patrick claimed he had a vision that told him to bring Christianity to the Irish people, who were predominantly pagan and druidic at the time, so Patrick he made his way back to Ireland and brought a big ol’ bag of Christianity with him.
Folklore also tells of Patrick banishing all the snakes from Ireland, but as cool as that may sound, there were never actually any snakes on the island to begin with. But, Patrick may be the one responsible for popularizing the shamrock, or that three-leafed plant you’ll see plastered all over the place on days like St. Patrick’s Day. According to legend, Patrick used it to teach the Irish the concept of the Christian Holy Trinity. They already had triple deities and regarded the number three highly, so Patrick’s use of the shamrock may have helped him win a great deal of favor with the Irish.
These days, Patricius is known to most as Saint Patrick. Though he’s not technically a canonized saint by the Catholic Church, he’s well-regarded throughout the Christian world. St. Paddy’s Day started as a religious celebration in the 17th century to commemorate the life of Saint Patrick and the arrival of Christianity in Ireland. This “Feast Day” always took place on the anniversary of Patrick’s death, which was believed to be March 17, 461 AD.

Allan (Pictured) joined the Mount Morgan State Emergency Service (SES) Group on 6 February 2006. Some of his family were members of SES, but it was watching his father assisting members of the community as an ambulance officer that encouraged Allan to want to assist as well.
Allan said he joined the SES to learn new skills and help the community in times of natural disasters, which he has been able to do.
He has been deployed to Brisbane to assist at The Gap after a supercell hit. He has also assisted when Cyclones Ului, Yasi and Debbie devastated North Queensland.
Attending activations does not worry Allan but said it was important to be mentally prepared for any changes in the current situation. His main concern is that he has his correct PPE for the task, being able to stay calm and not rush and most importantly, maintaining his safety, and that of his team-mates, at all times.
Whilst a member of SES Allan has learnt many skills including safety,

chainsaw operations, working safely at heights, first aid, land search, traffic control and lots and lots of knots. He also gained a qualification as a trainer in low risk activities.
When asked what he thought was the most important aspect of being a volunteer, Allan replied,” Being able to work as a team and making sure everyone is safe”.
Allan continues to stay with the SES because of the experience he has gained and the satisfaction he gets from helping others.
In his spare time Allan likes to play golf, video games and also more importantly, looks after his mum.
