Art shows in Mount Morgan have been few and far between in the last few years, but Friday night’s “Mine! All Mine!” exhibition featuring an array of landscapes, portraits and more were on display. The five artists involved - Pauline Grabham, Anne Copeland, Nicholai Tonslamann, Lousie Jones and Nancy Liddle (pictured above), working on the platform provided by the group, Visual Arts 4714, showed that artistic talent abounds in Mount Morgan. The majority of artwork focussed around the Mount Morgan Mine - whichi also provided the name of the exhibition. Indigenous artist and elder, Faylyn Lamb performed the Welcome to Country and the exhibition was officially opened by Mr Peter Mellor, Heritage Minerals Commercial Director.

Mr Mellor congratulated the artists on their works and made comment on the work currently being done by Heritage Minerals.
“I often get introduced by people as the Commercial Director of the company that holds the leases at the Mine. In actual fact, Heritage Minerals are only the custodians of the mine.
“I commend the artists on a fine exhibition and wish them well,” he said.
Louise Jones, President of Visual Arts 4714 and exhibitor said she was “over the moon” with the success of the exhbition.
“We’ve had some wonderful comments about the exhibition, making the effort we all put in, truly worth it,” she said.
The huge effort put in by the artists for their inaugural exhibition was rewarded by the large turn-out for the opening and the steady stream of visitors right through to Sunday lunch.
This was also backed by the positive comments gathered over the weekend.
“It was inspiring for us, the artists to show our work and to have it appreciated so enthusiastically by our community,” Louise said.
ST. PATRICK’S BOWLS DAY
The Saint Patrick’s Bowls Day (held in memory of Alex Teeney) was held on Sunday at the Welfare Bowls Club.
Bowlers donned green in a range of shades to honour the legendary Saint.
Held by the Rotary Club of Mount Morgan, all funds raised on the day went to the “End Polio Now” campaign, run by Rotary International.
Club President, Judith Henderson said there could have been a few more bowlers on the green, but the day was enjoyable for all who attended.
The St Patrick’s Bowls Day was founded by Alex Teeney in the late 1990’s.

Council goes for gold with Mount Morgan recreational fossicking plans
Rockhampton Regional Council has reached the final stage of establishing a recreational fossicking area on the land surrounding Mount Morgan No 7 Dam, after Councillors voted to formally request the creation of a General Permission Area (GPA) from the State Government.
Public consultation conducted by Advance Rockhampton found an overwhelming 89% of respondents supported the establishment of a General Permission Area (GPA) to allow licenced fossickers to search for gold on land surrounding the dam.
Since consultation on the proposal closed, Advance Rockhampton has been working with the Department of Natural Resources and Mines, Manufacturing and Regional and Rural Development to conduct detailed assessments of the site’s suitability and safety for recreational fossicking. This has identified the need for additional signage to be installed to outline rules for fossickers and highlight potential hazards. Annual surveys of the site will also be conducted to ensure safety and environmental protection rules are being
adhered to.
Rockhampton Regional Council Mayor Tony Williams said fossicking presents a golden opportunity for the Mount Morgan community.
“The number of survey responses exceeded all expectations and sends a clear message – the people of Mount Morgan, the broader region and fossickers want to see a GPA established,” Mayor Williams said.
“Mount Morgan’s proud gold mining heritage draws in travellers from across the country, and recreational fossicking will open the town up to a whole new demographic of visitors.
“Council will now push ahead with the final formalities needed to deliver this exciting new tourism and business opportunity for Mount Morgan and draw in visitors hoping to strike it rich.”
Following feedback received during public consultation, additional conditions will be applied
Continued on Page 5
to licenced fossickers at No 7 Dam including a 50 metre ‘no-go-zone’ around residential properties and a requirement to report any discoveries which may be of cultural or historical significance under the Cultural Heritage Act.
These would apply in addition to previously proposed bans on recreational fossicking in the vicinity of the dam, public tracks, recreation facilities, infrastructure and livestock. Fossickers would also be required to immediately backfill excavations (limited to 2m x 1m or a depth of 0.5 metres), be restricted to the use of hand tools only, and comply with general rules consistent with the public use of No 7 Dam.
Division 5 Councillor, Cherie Rutherford, said safety and environmental protections around the site will always be the priority.
“I believe we’ve found the right balance between opening up No 7 Dam for recreational fossicking, protecting the much-loved No 7 Dam and respecting the views of the community,” Cr Rutherford said.
"Throughout this process, we've actively listened to residents and incorporated their feedback into the updated special conditions. I want to reassure landholders that a 50-meter buffer zone has been established
around all neighbouring properties to ensure their privacy and comfort."
Advance Rockhampton’s Economic Development Manager, Wade Clark, has thanked the community for its patience while the changes are implemented.
“Our team is excited to be leading the delivery of another gamechanging project for Mount Morgan, providing new opportunities and strengthening the Rockhampton Region’s economy,” Mr Clark said.
“The community’s enthusiasm for this project has been contagious, but it’s been critical that we prioritise the safety and wellbeing of all No 7 Dam users before reaching this final stage.
“It’s taken a lot of hard work and planning from teams across Council, Advance Rockhampton and external agencies to get to where we are today.”
Council understands the importance of this project to the Mount Morgan community and is actively working towards the final steps in bringing it to fruition. It is anticipated that works to prepare the site and establish the GPA will be complete around the middle of 2025.
Advance Rockhampton will notify the community and media once that process is complete and fossicking is permitted.

• In Queensland, licenced fossickers are permitted to fossick in boundary watercourses where the watercourse is not part of another land tenue.
Fossickers should ensure they comply with the relevant regulations - https://www.qld. gov.au/recreation/activities/ areas-facilities/fossicking/rules/ permitted-activities
Arts Precinct
MOUNT MORGAN CITIZEN’S CLUB
We are celebrating! All approvals are through from Rocky Regional Council, and State Government have approved the town plan amendment, with the block now classed as Local Centre Zone. This has set a flurry of activity in motion, with Members getting stuck in to complete necessary improvements in preparation of our Grand Opening Exhibition featuring internationally renowned, local Indigenous Artist, Faylyn Lamb on Saturday, 26 April.
This will be a twilight event, where not only will we be showcasing amazing art, but also the progress made on the restoration of the historic St Enoch’s Church, circa 1913. We are also doing a call out for Artists and Creatives to join our volunteers, and become part of our dynamic team as exhibitors, performers and gallery attendants. We welcome all, and if you feel you have skills, an idea or contribution, we are open to it!
There is still much to do to fully realize the potential of the Arts Precinct, so improvements and expansion to the Upper Dee Hall next door will be ongoing. We want to expand and grow with local input, and as a locally run charity, for the Mount Morgan community, by the Mount Morgan community, this is Your Gallery!

MIRANI MESSAGE
With Glen Kelly, MP
There’s plenty happening in and around Mount Morgan right now.
Just a few weeks ago, I had the privilege of attending a special birthday—Mount Morgan State High School’s 113th anniversary. As the oldest state high school in Queensland, opening its doors in 1912 (just one day ahead of the next oldest), the school stands as a testament to Mount Morgan’s rich history as an economic powerhouse.
Today, the school continues to play a vital role in the community, educating over 120 students with distinction. Principal James Lye takes great pride in leading the school and has fostered a culture of respect and leadership. This was on full display at the recent celebrations, where the new school captains and vice captains—Abbie, Dakota, Keeley, and Destiny—led the assembly with confidence and poise. These four young women have bright futures ahead, and the leadership skills they’re developing now will serve them well.
The dedicated teachers and staff at Mount Morgan High also deserve recognition. Their commitment to equipping the next generation with the skills and knowledge to pursue their ambitions is commendable. Schools like this are the backbone of small communities, and Mount Morgan is fortunate to have such passionate educators.
Beyond education, there’s another major milestone on the horizon for the town—the Mount Morgan Pipeline project.
This long-awaited initiative is progressing on schedule and within budget, with Rockhampton Regional Council aiming to complete it by September. Most of the pipeline has already been laid, reservoirs are nearing completion, and pump station construction will soon begin.
Once finished, the pipeline will provide a secure and reliable water supply—something the community has fought hard to achieve. Thanks to a $10 million contribution from the Queensland Government, Mount Morgan’s water security is finally within reach.
Further afield, a major issue for Central Queenslanders—the Bruce Highway—has taken a step forward. The Bruce Highway Advisory Council, appointed late last year, is already making progress.
The Council focuses on the northern section of the Bruce Highway from Gympie and ensures that regional voices are heard in decision-making. Eleanor Butler, Central Queensland’s representative, has been actively advocating for local concerns and pushing for much-needed upgrades.
The next Bruce Highway Advisory Council meeting will be held in Rockhampton on March 19, bringing decision-makers into the region to hear directly from the community and industry. This is an important opportunity to make sure local knowledge is factored into planning and priority upgrades.
With Mount Morgan High celebrating 113 years, the pipeline nearing completion, and the Bruce Highway finally getting the attention it deserves, there’s plenty of reason for optimism in Central Queensland. Progress is happening, and it’s thanks to the tireless efforts of local communities, leaders, and advocates who refuse to be ignored."
CANBERRA IN THEIR SIGHTS
Nine of the 15 Mount Morgan State High School students who have Canberra in their sights. are skills they are demonstrating that will be great to add to a resume. Mr Lye said there is a possibility that this could become a regular event but at this stage, it was a ‘see how it goes’ scenario.
Mount Morgan State High School Students are being given the opportunity of a lifetime with a trip to Canberra in November of this year. Principal, Mr James Lye said the trip came about as a result of Glenmore State High School.
“Glenmore High had planned a trip to go to Canberra as part of their Humanities program. Our students were invited to try to boost the numbers and aim for a working partnership with another high school in Rockhampton,” Mr Lye said.
Mr Lye said the student would be able to experience the Nation’s Capital and the different venues that are around.
“The families will be asked to pay for the trip, however, both groups of students are looking at fundraising to try to cut costs a bit.
If students can raise a lot of money, it will mean that the trip becomes cheaper for them. We also need to consider that when it does come to fundraising, there
“We would like to see if future trips can be organised. This will depend upon costs and if combining schools is really helpful and supportive for all involved,” Mr Lye said.
Mr Lye said the connection between Glenmore State High School and Mount Morgan State high came from his teaching days at the school.
“I had worked there, and the Head of DepartmentHumanities, Mr Jason Doyle has actually taught at Mount Morgan High. We are hoping to actually do catch up sessions with their students and our students throughout the year, making it a much more relaxed trip away for everyone,” he said
If anyone wishes to make a donation or would like to suggest fundraising ideas, please contact the school.

MR LYE TO GUIDE THE SCHOOL FORWARD
For the past 14 months, James Lye (pictured) has been Acting Principal of Mount Morgan State High School, taking over from Dan Petersen.
Mr Lye was recently appointed as Principal of the school.
Mr Lye is looking forward to following up on plans put in place during the last 12 months.
“The fact that I was able to work with the staff last year to design, prepare and put in place a four year strategic plan, I can now see it out over the four year journey.
“This will lead to our next School Review and we can see what our journey has looked over the time,” Mr Lye said.
“I was looking for a step up from Deputy Principal into a Principalship. I was also looking for something closer to home, as being away from my family was tough,” he said.
“I was Deputy Principal at Glenmore High since half way through 2018. During that time, I had been given an opportunities to be Acting Principal at Moura High and Blackall State School.”
These remote appointments meant that he was living
away from his family.
For many students and teachers, Mount Morgan State High School holds a special place in their hearts - this is certainly the case with Mr Lye.
“There is a lot to like about the School. The history of they school, hearing the different stories from past students and staff; the students are really great and have potential to progress to be very successful people in the future. I like the small school feel within the community,” Mr Lye said.
Mr Lye said the smaller school helped getting to know each other.
“Although I also understand that personal business is just that, personal business. I also see that we are in an unique position with our history and how we progress forward, allowing our students to have better opportunities to do incredible things to raise the profile of Mount Morgan,” Mr Lye said.
No school is perfect and but there are plenty of ways in which adjustments can be made.
“We are working on improvements all the time. We are wanting to really build our School pride and spirit, so our community can be proud of the school that they have known for a very long time.
“We are really trying to focus on Curriculum, ensuring Version 9 of the Australian Curriculum is implemented across all subject areas, across all cohorts.
“We have a focus on Student Engagement, knowing that students are entering the room ready to learn, and being able to participate to their best of their ability.
“We are wanting to build on our community connection, making sure that our School and community are working together for the best outcome for all of our young people.
“If there is any old school alumni who would like to get in contact about their days at being at School, and would like to share stories, please email principal@ mtmorganshs.eq.edu.au,” he said.
Mr Lye said there was already an amazing group who meet up and support our school.
This year, the group raised funds to make sure that all new Year 7 students had a school shirt to wear.
Like anything else we know we have some work to do. We are happy to work with community and they are more than welcome to call the School.
Mr Lye was first drawn to Education from when he was in Primary School.
“I have always wanted to work in education, after I was inspired by a few teachers,” he said.
MOUNT MORGAN ARTIST EXHIBITS AT YEPPOON GALLERY
If you’re ready for a cultural jaunt head off to Yeppoon, go for a swim, eat fish and chips then close your lovely day with a visit to the Fig Tree Gallery to check out the solo show of Louise Lawrence, aka our very own Louise Jones aka The Clay Lady/Wild Mount Morgan Clay.
While there is not a crumb of clay to be seen in the solo show, Louise brings us a wild flourish of colour, line and versatile dance in different mediums.
Her work is energetic and dynamic. And joyful. Consider Where the Waters Join, see below.
A celebration in mixed media looking down from a bird’s eye to rivers and mine dumps. Almost dizzying and certainly breathtaking.
From this freedom Lawrence shows she can realistically portray the beauty of a still gum standing over water. Here is her watercolour take on something we are very familiar with as Australians, the reflections so beautifully captured.
Also on display are lino cuts and monoprints. Her Birth, Miscarriage and Grief depictions need special mention as women don’t tend to talk about these topics very much if at all. These are especially moving, quietly so.
It is a retrospective of Lawrence’s artistic life so features very early work to the present and gives
an insight on this artist’s growth over the decades. She is able to push line out and beyond what we see and to make the colours celebrate movement and keep us entertained with mixed media depictions of mountains and flowers and little cartoons.
To keep up momentum, Louise also opened with the Visual Artists 4714 “Mount Morgan: Mine all Mine” pop-up exhibition from 14- 16 March in the Baree Hall and will be Artist in Residence at the Rockhampton Museum of Art in August. We’re lucky to be able to call her our very own.
