MOUNT MORGAN ARGUS

SMILES ALL ROUND AT 2024 BUSH BALLAD BASH

It was smiles all around for Caitlyn Jamieson and Alisha Smith (pictured above) for the 2024 Jammo’s Bouldy Bush Ballad Bash held in Bouldercombe from 13-19 May. The Bash was named in memory of Keith Jamieson (Caitlyn’s father and Alisha’s partner).

While many of the “bash-goers” hailed from Central and North Queensland, there was a good representation of people from New South Wales Victoria and Tasmania.

“It’s been really great,” she said, “I couldn’t ask for a better event.”

The Bouldercombe Recreation grounds resembled a caravan park with more than 130 vans and motor homes parked in the grounds for the full week. The week started with walk-up performers, bingo and an old time dance and finished with the Bush Poets’ Breakfast on Saturday and Sunday with renown Bush Poets Gary Fogarty and Ray Essery. As well as the bush poetry, musical acts included Alisha Smith, Caitlyn Jamieson, Rick Gay, Kylie Castle, John Batley and family, Buddy Thomson and Lynne Bennett and Brian Letton.

VOLUNTEER DRIVERS URGENTLY WANTED

Mount Morgan Meals on Wheels is in urgent need of drivers to help deliver the 40 meals a day for three days a week.

Meals on Wheels has been operating in Mount Morgan for the past 54 years. Meals on Wheels President, Mrs Margaret Pearce said that some of their drivers were over 80 years of age.

“Some of these drivers are considering retirement after delivering Meals on Wheels for well over 35 years,” she said.

Volunteer drivers complete one shift of one and a half hours every three weeks. Delivering starts at 11.30 am and is required to be finished by 1 pm.

Mrs Pearce said 18 drivers were required to complete the three week roster and to spread the delivery workload.

Years ago the meals were cooked at the Meals on Wheels building in East Street. These are now prepared by the Mount Morgan Multi-purpose Health Service each week.

“The number of people receiving Meals on Wheels has increased over the years. Once it was just for people who were “shut in” and found it difficult to get to shops - it’s easier to get the meals delivered now,” she said.

Mrs Pearce said if additional volunteers could not be found, it may mean that the Meals on Wheels service will be discontinued.

“We are asking members of the community to make this commitment to keep Meals on Wheels rolling in Mount Morgan,” she said.

Mrs Pearce said after 54 years it would be a shame to see this vital service finish.

REGIONAL TRAINING BUILDS TRACK AND RAIL SKILLS

Job seekers from Mount Morgan and the region had the opportunity to participate in some hands-on training at the Historic Mount Morgan Railway Station as part of their Certificate II in Rail Infrastructure. Registered training organisation, Occupational Skills Centre Australia (OSCA) organised the course in collaboration with Community Solutions. The course can take between six weeks and six months depending on the frequency of scheduled lessons. The Certificate includes 16 units of competency in theory and practical training.

OSCA Manager, Chamay Bauer said this training could assist the participants in gaining employment in the rail industry as track workers which are in high demand.

“The practical at Mount Morgan Railway Museum included the removal and replacement of sleepers, simulated installation of guard rails and joint maintenance on a turn out,” Ms Bauer said.

Participants also learnt the use of rail specific tools, manual handling, operating minor mechanical items, site maintenance and inspectios to check for rail damage.

Mount Morgan Promotion and Development Inc, President Mr John Steinberger said it was good to see courses of this nature held to provide skills to assist with gaining employment.

“It was good that we could assist with the practical side of the course,” he said.

CREATIVE HOLIDAY FUN A HIT

The inaugural School Holiday artist-run workshops started with a bang - thanks to a Rockhampton Regional Council Regional Arts Development Fund [RADF] grant and local artists, Wild Mount Morgan Clay, the Twisted Weaver and A Shade of Allusion

‘This is the best day ever!’ said seven year old Bella. Fifteen Mount Morgan children joined three artists at the Wild Mount Morgan Clay Studio for a full day of creative activities. The facilities have recently had an upgrade and now include a colourful teepee which provided the day’s meeting place, a covered concrete slab for an outside lunch area, swing set and hammock, plus barista made coffee area. The second day unfortunately had to be postponed to the following Wednesday and as a result was a smaller group. The first day started with paint pouring by A Shade of Allusion Pauline is well versed in the many and various methods of pouring paint and demonstrated these to an impatient audience. The results were beautiful as the photos will attest.

Dee, the Twisted Weaver, then took the group under the teepee in weaving mandelas using colourful wool. Some of the kids needed some help initially but soon mastered the technique; Rose was the star pupil, taking any spare minute out of the day to continue more weaving. She also was gifted with more materials to take home to continue developing her passion.

As sometimes happens with art, the next class didn’t quite go to plan as the kiln firing of the clay leaves needed to build the wind chimes had not been successful. Thanks to a last minute call out for donations the helpers came up with a variety of beads and shells that were threaded onto fishing line and attached to their base. The children enjoyed painting and arranging the hanging chimes. Five extra people joined us for the last workshop of the day: Monster

Mug Making using local wild clay. They rolled slabs of clay and cut out templates ready for slab construction. The variety of scary monster faces was wonderful, some had 3D eyeballs and teeth. These mugs will need to be dried for at least a week then bisque fired before glazing with clear finish and then given a second firing so they can be used for drinking. The creators will be eager to finally receive them. The second day of workshops began with T shirt printmaking; simple printing using potato designs entertained the creative kids; Rory loved printing his pig face in pink and Bella had great success with her dragon head. The T shirts were hung up to dry.

Once again Dee used her mastery with wool to weave her magic using pipe cleaners to create wild twisted animals. Some cute snakes and some lifelike lizards which decorated arms for the rest of the day were the result.

Louise from Wild Mount Morgan Clay took the small birds’ workshop in which the children created small

finches using pinch pot techniques and decorated them with slip. Local yellow fireclay was used for this activity and will also be fired to Bisque before returning to their artists.

Pauline from A Shade of Allusion led the group for the final activity which was bark painting. To the uninformed this sounds like a simple task, but Pauline had taken the time to create miniature butterflies, lizards, and rocks from air drying clay so that the kids could paint and place these on the hard flat bark so that they sat on a painted landscape. The kids took great pains to create detailed and beautiful backgrounds for their lizards using acrylic paint.

Thanks to great survey responses and parental feedback we hope to offer these types of artist run workshops again during the next school holidays. If you are a local artist and keen to get involved, we would also welcome your input. Submitted by Louise Jones.

Painting Continues

As painting continues, we can see the finished appearance unfolding, and the Soldiers Rooms is going to look fabulous. We have been fortunate that the company tasked with the job, RWJ Painting, have shown meticulous care in their treatment of the old hall, and are doing a thorough and professional job on all levels. We are very impressed with their work and would not hesitate to recommend their services.

Sandstone Blocks

The roundabout on the block next door to the Soldiers Rooms is getting a revamp, with 16 sandstone blocks arriving, which will be the border for a larger garden area with new flagpole and uplighting. A plaque will also be installed outlining the history and significance of the Soldiers Rooms. We require a backhoe to move the stone into place, so if anyone has availability,

MIRANI MESSAGE

With Stephen Andrew, MP

Shout out to all the residents who contacted my office and brought our attention to the issue with the placement of the new fire risk rating sign.

Sorting out the relocation of the sign has involved dealing with the TMR and QFES. I’ve had to navigate through different Departments to ensure the matter is resolved properly. I’ve recently been informed that QFES staff will visited Mount Morgan on 15 May to gather the necessary information for relocating the sign.

I’ll continue to keep you updated as things progress. It’s not only frustrating, but also disappointing to see taxpayer money wasted on rectifying mistakes that could have been avoided with better decisionmaking.

This Queensland Community Safety Bill 2024 was first introduced by the LNP at the last Parliament now being put into action by Labor.

The Labor Government allowed 10 business days to respond to 471 pages of legislation that will impact upon ALL Queenslanders - including licensed firearm owners. The comprehensive bill proposes a wide range of changes to various aspects of law enforcement, criminal justice, and public safety legislation and amends at least 12 different Acts.

Proposed legislation provides authorities the power to strip firearm licences from those with family members who break the law, and comments deemed antisocial on social media platforms.

To allow the public a proper say, One Nation called for an extension of the consultation period.

The Queensland Government and Police Minister Mark Ryan must ensure this process is not rushed and this important piece of legislation is given the time it deserves for public consideration and scrutiny.

Carlton House - a well travelled icon

Carlton House, was one of the many buildings associated with the Mount Morgan Gold Mining Company that reflected the opulence of the time and the wealth of the mine.

Carlton House was constructed between 1885 and 1890 by the Mount Morgan Gold Mining Company. It featured thirteen rooms, numerous fireplaces and wide verandas to take advantage of prevailing breezes.

The House was home to the Company’s directors when they visited. Its landscaped gardens featured fountains, fish ponds, a rose garden, a fernery and glasshouse. The grounds also featured a coach house and stables.

Carlton House was often the site of garden parties hosted by the Company where well-to-do locals mixed with visiting dignitaries.

Following a destructive mine fire and industrial trouble in the 1920s the Company fell on hard times. Carlton House itself was sold to the Church of England in 1929 and shifted to Yeppoon where it became part of St Faith’s Girls School. Carlton Hill and the surrounding land was put under the control of the Queensland Government and became part of the Mount Morgan State High School site.

All that remains of Carlton House on the original site is the retaining wall and the steps which once led to the main entrance. See photo on right.

The Mount Morgan Historical Museum supplied an

article written in 2004 by Jan Schwarzrock. Carlton House is referred to as Carlton Hall, while most reference this Bedsor Street icon as Carlton House. In the present day an old building once dubbed Carlton Hall (House) nestles peacefully near Thangool. The private residence would look as though it has always been there. However, this is not so, for the building was originally constructed some kilometres away at Mount Morgan, in the heady days of the Mount Morgan Gold Mining Company.

Records show that Carlton Hall began it’s life on a hill overlooking the Dee River in the 1880’s. The building was built to accommodate the director of the Mount Morgan Gold Mining Company and as a place where official meetings and functions could be held.

Continued on Page 13

In it’s day Carlton Hall was grand. It was a timber building with wide verandas and brick piers. The grounds were adorned with fine gardens, statues, and fishponds. There were stables and a coach house. The gardens were said to be designed by French botanist Mons Anthelme Thozet of Rockhampton.

During the prosperous years of the Mount Morgan Gold Mining Company, large garden parties were held at Carlton Hall. Some reports tell of special guests being presented with horseshoes dipped in gold.

Once the prosperity of the gold mining company waned, many things changed and much of the extravagance of the early days ceased. Carlton Hall was sold for removal and transported to Yeppoon where it became part of St Faith’s Girls School. Some years later when the school closed, Carlton Hall was offered for sale, again by removal.

This time the building was sold to a Thangool family for 750 pounds. The building was dismantled and prepared for the journey back to its original region. This time the skeleton of Carlton Hall travelled up the range, instead of down, on a timber jinker.

Carlton Hall was rebuilt in a less grandiose design in 1955. The old building appears to be well travelled and has been a valuable part of Central Queensland’s past.

NO “KNOCK OUT” FOR MOUNT BOXING

Boxing was once a popular sport in Mount Morgan, but over the years its popularity waned.

Just on two years ago the Rockhampton Boxing and Sports Promotions (RBSP) started offering boxing for Mount Morgan youth and adults and since that time the sport of pugilism has gained some strong momentum.

RBSP President, Russell Thomas is happy with the progression of the sport in Mount Morgan.

“We have at least 30 people from all ages turn up each night,” he said.

Mr Thomas said, while youth learned how to box, this was not all that was taught.

“We try to instill life skills such as punctuality and commitment to sport,” he said.

“Any exercise is good for mental wellbeing,” he said.

One young Mount Morgan Boxer, Radu Nastea (pictured) will be travelling to Hervey Bay to attend a Boxing Queensland tournament.

This will be his third competition.

“He has won one and lost one, but continues to improve,” Russell said.

Boxing is held twice a week - Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5.30 pm beneath the Mount Morgan Soldiers’ Rooms.

Volunteers play an important role throughout our Flynn community, giving their time, energy, and skills to support others. They are at the heart of our community groups, schools, sporting organisations, and some of the first to respond to natural disasters.

In the lead up to National Volunteers Week (20-26th May 2024), I would like to recognise our local heroes and show how much they are valued and appreciated.

While it’s always hard to single people out, there might be someone (or a couple of people) in your organisation who always seem to go that extra mile and deserve a special thank you.

Perhaps you have someone celebrating a special anniversary with the organisation, or a new volunteer that came on board and dived right in the deep end, or one of those backbone members of the group, operating behind the scenes but that you simply don’t know what you’d do without.

On my website colin.boyce.com.au there are details on how you can nominate these local heroes to receive a Certificate of Appreciation. As an authorised representative of your community group - kindly complete the form on the website, providing the organisation's details, your details (as the nominator) and the details of your nominated local heroes. Please also include a couple of sentences on the reason for each nomination, as this will be shared with the nominee on a formal letter accompanying their certificate.

Certificates will be sent to community groups for presentation to the deserving recipients. For those residing in the Gladstone, Emerald, and Gayndah areas, certificates can be collected from your respective Electorate Office. Please note that nominees must reside within the Flynn Electorate, and in order to preserve the prestige and significance of the awards, each organisation may submit a maximum of five nominations per year. Nominations close on 31st May 2024.

Thank you to all the volunteers across the Flynn electorate!

Have something you need printed? or laminated?
