Pub’s a gem Everything old is new again at the beautiful and much-loved second-generation family run Country Club Hotel at Stanthorpe. The historic hotel, dating back to the 30s, reopened earlier this year after a year-long renovation and has once again become a community hub and place for locals and visitors to meet and relax. Steph Elms, who swears her business card has Country Club Head Honcho on it, and her brother Brian, who is the bottleshop manager, embarked on the renovation last year as a tribute to their father Neil Johnson who bought the hotel in 1990 and had wanted to renovate for many years with ill health stopping him. See our special feature for more, on pages 28-29

Meet our local heroes Members of the community had the opportunity to meet some of their emergency service heroes at a pop-up event over the weekend. Dozens of people visited the Stan-

thorpe Civic Centre on Saturday 8 May to meet and hear from local firefighters, police, SES crews and paramedics. See photos on pages 12-13

Hospitality surge As visitor numbers in Stanthorpe continue to soar, more than a few local hospitality outlets are struggling to find the staff necessary to keep up. Southern Downs Regional Council’s quarterly Stanthorpe Visitor Information Centre report was tabled at the 28 April ordinary meeting, re-

vealing visitor numbers not seen for years. “Visitor numbers increased by an average of 59 percent over February and March 2021 compared to 2020,” said a SDRC spokesperson. “The previous six months before this (July 2020 to December 2020) averaged an increase of 85 percent year on year.”

The spokesperson said a majority of visitors to Stanthorpe have been Queenslanders, with the recent increase attributable to the continued international travel restrictions and “pent up demand” from intrastate visitors. This recent surge is no doubt a positive for the region, but it has been suggested that local

accommodation and dining options may not be sufficient to support it long-term. “The availability of hospitality outlets, particularly on the weekends, is an ongoing issue with regular feedback received at the Visitor Information Centre,” read the SDRC report. More on page 3

On behalf of the Junabee Memorial Hall committee... The Junabee Memorial Hall recently hosted a morning tea for the Southern Downs mayor and councillors in appreciation of a generous grant funded by Southern Downs Regional Council. This was attended by councillor Sheryl Windle and members who enjoyed a social and delicious morning tea served by the committee. Members showed Cr Windle the new sound system and speakers which has enhanced the clarity of both speech and the laying of power to the picnic (play) shed with an isolation switch inside the hall allowing for the switching on of lights and power for evening barbecues and outdoor functions. Junabee Memorial Hall is situated a short drive east of Warwick and is set high on a hill overlooking the picturesque valley through to the Scenic Rim. For all who attended our Anzac Day dawn service, these new additions to our hall proved invaluable. Dawn breaking over the mountains to the east, followed by the sun rising and then the fog filling the valley below and rising above all who attended was a sight to behold. Junabee Memorial Hall is beautifully main-

We as residents thank and acknowledge Southern Downs Regional Council’s continuing support with the generous grants provided so we can continue to move forward.

The editor’s desk One of my favourite things about writing for this paper, in this region, is the opportunity it provides to shine a light on the people making a difference in the community. I spoke to some wonderful people this week who have done extraordinary things to serve others. Rural firefighters Roni Bau and James Massey were two stand-outs. Roni and James have volunteered for the Rural Fire Service for a collective 98 years, but their dedication and commitment is undimmed today. It was great to see that Roni’s service was formally acknowledged this year, and James’ last year. I met a number of other representatives from our local emergency services this week, including Stanthorpe rural fire mitigation officer Michael Welsh, SES volunteers Charlie and Ann Jensen, and Stanthorpe Ambulance officer-incharge Penney Lang – all fiercely devoted to keeping the region and its people safe. Warwick Safe Haven president Bette Bonney and her fellow committee members did a wonderful job, as they always do, of organising this year’s Peace Walk and Candle Lighting Vigil to support and remember those impacted by domestic and family violence. It was a powerful evening with an important message: no person stands alone. I truly feel that in this community, and I think that is entirely because of the people that make up this region. The unsung heroes, the quiet leaders, and the passionate volunteers.

Hospitality sector surges By Jess Baker As visitor numbers in Stanthorpe continue to soar, more than a few local hospitality outlets are struggling to find the staff necessary to keep up. Southern Downs Regional Council’s quarterly Stanthorpe Visitor Information Centre report was tabled at the 28 April ordinary meeting, revealing visitor numbers not seen for years. “Visitor numbers increased by an average of 59 percent over February and March 2021 compared to 2020,” said a SDRC spokesperson. “The previous six months before this (July 2020 to December 2020) averaged an increase of 85 percent year on year.” The spokesperson said a majority of visitors to Stanthorpe have been Queenslanders, with the recent increase attributable to the continued international travel restrictions and “pent up demand” from intrastate visitors. This recent surge is no doubt a positive for the region, but it has been suggested that local accommodation and dining options may not be sufficient to support it long-term. “The availability of hospitality outlets, particularly on the weekends, is an ongoing issue with regular feedback received at the Visitor Information Centre,” read the SDRC report. Geoff Davenport, owner of popular accommodation and dining venue Granite Belt Brewery, said he has been trying to hire additional staff to meet the new demand for months, but to no avail. “In hospitality, we’re looking for kitchen staff, wait staff and front of house staff. We’re

Volunteers at the Stanthorpe Visitor Information Centre said they have been run off their feet since mid-2020. Picture: JESS BAKER also looking for cleaners,” Geoff said. “We’ve had employment agencies (involved) and listings up for months.”

Geoff said that he has received a number of applications for the advertised jobs, but few have been “realistic”.

“We’ve had applications that end with ‘don’t bother contacting me, I’m not actually applying I just have to reach my (application) quota for Jobseeker’,” he said. “Or you try contacting them and they don’t get back to you.” Geoff said this issue is not new and many other hotels are experiencing the same, though it is frustrating to deal with. Accommodation at Granite Belt Brewery is now booked out months in advance, and the restaurant days. Geoff said that while the workload is manageable, having more kitchen staff would allow him to open the restaurant – which is currently shut for lunch and dinner Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays – more days of the week. Owner of Lily’s Cafe on High Street Susan Anderson said she too has noticed an increase in visitors in recent months, but has not been adversely affected by it. Nonetheless, she is looking to hire a new cook. Susan said the job has been advertised for some time, but she has only recently started receiving applications for it. “There’s just not enough manpower at the moment,” she said. “It keeps me very busy.” Susan said having an extra staff member would allow her to open Lily’s Cafe seven days a week, instead of its current Monday through Saturday schedule. A number of other local restaurant and cafe owners have reported similar issues with attracting staff for occupations like cooks and servers.

Dob in a ‘blackspot’: Nominations open for risky roads Southern Downs Regional Council has issued a call-out to the community to nominate dangerous local roads and intersections in need of an upgrade. SDRC is seeking funding in 2022-23 through the Australian government’s Black Spot Program to fix areas of concern and would like to submit projects of high community priority for funding approval. Southern Downs mayor Vic Pennisi said road safety is every person’s responsibility and encouraged the region’s road users to nominate areas they consider to be traffic black spots. “Road crashes and fatal accidents have an enormous human toll and disrupt and destroy lives every year,” Mayor Pennisi said. “The Australian government and Council are committed to building better, safer roads across the region for all road users, whether they are locals or visitors who travel here to enjoy everything hat our unique locality has to offer.” Mayor Pennisi said SDRC has a comprehensive program of roadworks and the Back

Spot Program is vital to ensuring the most hazardous roads are targeted for improvement. “Upgrades of identified black spots on the Southern Downs creates jobs for locals through construction and industry contracts and Council is all about the means to support our community and regional economy.” A SDRC media release stated that black spots, under the government’s funding criteria, are either reactive or proactive - reactive sites meaning roads or intersections with a crash history, and proactive sites meaning roads or intersections considered to be ‘potentially hazardous’. “Black Spot projects which meet the funding criteria include safety works such as improving sight distances, improving curves, removing roadside hazards, increasing safety at intersections and providing protection to pedestrians,” the release read. SDRC has asked that community feedback on locations with road safety concerns be submitted by Friday 14 May via mail@ sdrc.qld.gov.au.

Southern Downs Regional Council has asked that nominations for dangerous roads and intersections be submitted by 14 May.

A stand against violence By Jess Baker Dozens of members of the Southern Downs community gathered last week to remember and support those impacted by family and domestic violence. Each May, Queensland recognises Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Month to raise community awareness and promote the avenues of help available to those suffering. Warwick Safe Haven Inc. hosted its annual Peace Walk and Candlelight Vigil on Wednesday 5 May to mark the beginning of the official prevention month and to remember lives lost. Members of the community – including schoolchildren, churches and social clubs – walked together from Warwick Town Hall to the Uniting Church Hall on Guy Street, led by the Warwick Thistle Pipe Band. The event and candle lighting ceremony commenced at 6.00pm, where attendees listened to powerful stories and songs of survival before lighting a candle in remembrance. Warwick Safe Haven Inc. committee president Bette Bonney said she hoped the evening demonstrated to those suffering that there is a community of people who want to, and can, help. “Those that have been impacted by family and domestic violence, we are supporting you,” Bette said. “You’re not alone.” Guest speaker at the event Southern Downs councillor Marco Gliori shared his personal story of growing up around violence. “I was four-years-old, less than 500 metres from here in a house in Dragon Street, the first time I saw my father throw a plate of Mum’s fine spaghetti against the wall,” Cr Gliori said. “In retrospect, what I should have done at that moment was this: I should have leapt into my father’s lap and hugged him, told him that I loved him – that we all did.” He said he understands that dysfunctional adults and parents often become so due to their previous experiences, their “unrealistic expectations, past traumas, unfulfilled dreams and unimaginable torture”. “Although past experiences may be reasons for our behaviour, we must never accept that such reasons are an excuse for bad behaviour, for violence, for intimidation and bullying.” Cr Gliori said neither he nor his family ever complain about their past, but are grateful for their lives and consider themselves lucky. “As we’ve seen on the news in recent weeks, not all families who experience domestic violence are lucky. Not all children survive,” he said. “We cannot accept this situation. It is intolerable. “As family members, as neighbours, as teachers, police officers, work mates and as a village of human beings we need to be brave and speak up.” The Warwick Safe Haven Inc. committee led those who attended the event in a pledge against family and domestic violence, vowing to never “commit, excuse or remain silent about any form of domestic violence and to offer (their) voice and support, where possible,

Southern Downs councillor Marco Gliori told his own touching story.

Each year, on the first Wednesday of May, candle lighting vigils are held across the country.

Luxury retreat plan By Jess Baker Rosenthal Heights could soon be home to a new luxury ecotourism resort with ‘glamping’ sites, a food and drink outlet, and an education centre. Southern Downs Regional Council approved an application for the ‘Rosenthal Retreat by Lynley’ development at 695 Washpool Road, Leslie Dam on Wednesday 28 April 2021, subject to conditions. The resort will accommodate up to 48 guests at its 12 ‘glamping’ sites, four of which will be ‘executive king cabin-style’ sites with their own toilet and shower. The remaining eight sites will be a mix of ‘standard queen’ and ‘deluxe queen’ sites, all with shared toilet and shower facilities. Applicants Lee Powell and Lynley Kirkpatrick also plan to develop a food and drink out-

let at the tourist park that will stock traditional Indigenous foods. The development planning report stated the resort could potentially expand to include an Education and Resource Cultural centre, which would host Indigenous arts, crafts and cultural activities. “Through the provision of a new tourist park facility on the shores of Leslie Dam, visitors to our region will be provided the opportunity to not only enjoy the unique beauty of our region, but also to actively engage in the ‘ancient technologies’ of our Aboriginal forefathers,” read the report. SDRC conditions for the development include ensuring no person stays at the tourist park for more than three nights in a row or for more than 15 nights in any 12 month period. It is also a requirement that at least 13 car

parking spaces, including disabled parking spaces, are provided on site and that disability access is provided to facilities. The first stage of the development, which is proposed for 2021, will see four new ‘glamping’ sites and some toilet and shower facilities constructed. The second stage, proposed for 2022, will see the eight remaining ‘glamping’ sites and facilities built, including a laundry facility and cafe. The planning report stated that each of the 12 ‘glamping’ sites will sit atop steel platforms, meaning they can be moved at any time and should therefore be considered “not inhabitable”. Rosenthal Retreat currently has its main house and two new ‘glamping’ sites available to book. For more information, visit rosenthalretreat.com

Two months to build new Rose City FM By Jess Baker Works on the new Rose City FM building at Warwick’s Victoria Park have begun, but a shortage of building materials could mean the funded project will not meet its approaching deadline. The relocation of the not-for-profit station from Willi Street to Victoria Park has a current funding allocation of $326,000 approved under the state government’s 2019-21 Works for Queensland program. Projects under this program are required to be completed by 30 June 2021 to meet the funding guidelines, but a Southern Downs Regional Council spokeswoman has suggested this deadline might not be feasible. “Council officers are working closely with the appointed contractors of the Rose City FM project to ensure the building is completed as close as possible to 30 June 2021,” she said. “Council officers constantly liaise and work closely with the Department of State Development, Infrastructure, Local Government and Planning to keep its staff fully informed with the status of all funded projects. “The Department understands the complexities of projects in rural regions. This includes the difficulties involved with securing contractors to undertake construction works in a demanding market.” The spokeswoman said building materials have been “much more difficult” to source since the onset of Covid-19, which “can cause delays in construction timelines”. “Council staff continue to inform the Department of any and all variables,” she said. The Department’s 2019-21 Works for Queensland program guidelines, which were last updated April 2020, stated all projects funded under the program must be delivered by 30 June 2021. “Extensions of time will only be considered under exceptional circumstances,” read the guidelines. A SDRC spokeswoman said projects which may only require an additional couple of

$1350 on the cards Local charities are the beneficiaries of the distribution of funds from the cessation of card playing at the Stanthorpe RSL. After a recent get-together of the card playing fraternity for their annual Easter lunch, it was decided that as there are very small numbers of players to return to the RSL and resume weekly sessions the amount of refreshment monies remaining in the kitty should be finalised. Therefore, the 500 club decided to pass the substantial amount of funds to a local charity which serviced the local community. It was a majority decision to give that money, $600, to Life Flight. That has now been completed. The two Euchre clubs combined their remaining monies and voted to give the remaining funds, $750, to Stanthorpe Cancer Support Group. That has also now been completed. Thanks to all the players over the years and go well into the future.

A race day to remember

Roulston Builders were recently engaged in construction and works at the site have now commenced. weeks to complete could seek extensions with the Department. “If extension of times are not approved, there is the risk that Council would be required to cover the cost for projects that have not been completed within the set timeframe, however this will only occur after numerous consultations with the funding department,” she said. SDRC approved the relocation of Rose City FM from its current Willi Street site to Victoria Park in October 2020 and engaged Roulston Builders in construction of the new building in February 2021. A report tabled at the 24 February ordinary council meeting stated Roulston Builders had submitted a tender price above the project’s funding allocation, at $341,250.

“The additional funds required may be able to be sourced from underspending in other projects under the 2019-21 Works for Queensland program (Round 3),” read the report. “If this is not an option then further funds will need to be allocated from surplus funds in Council’s 2020-21 Capital Budget during the third quarter budget review process.” In the 2020-21 third quarter budget review table, the budget for the relocation of Rose City FM remained $326,000. The review stated that half of this cost would be ‘revenue funded’ and the other half grant funded. The project is one of numerous SDRC projects funded under the 2019-21 Works for Queensland program and the 2020-21 Covid Works for Queensland program.

The Warwick Turf Club will host the Ted Donegan Memorial TAB Race Day on Thursday 20 May. We honour Ted who was involved with the Turf Club for close to two decades. He was an Allora lad in the first graduating class of Year 10 at Allora State School. Ted was a local Solicitor for many years with Gaffney Lyons & McMahon, until he retired to the warmer weather in Bargara. Ted took on the President role of the Warwick Turf Club succeeding Mick Grew in the early 2000s, a stalwart and committed worker on the Committee of the Turf Club. His Presidency in the four years before he left Warwick was characterised by governing and leading with a collaborative style that saw the Turf Club cope with the challenge of a reduction from 10 race meetings per year to five race meetings per year. His greatest angst, even though he did it better than others, was the organising of the annual Warwick Cup. While serious and excellent at his job as a Solicitor, he was excellent company on and off the track; a great raconteur with a unique sense of humour, but did like many lack a few punting skills. We celebrate Ted and his Life Membership of the Club on this day. An 8-race card, TAB and bookmakers on site, David & Margot Cory Members bar open to all & canteen operating. Gates open 11.00am, free admission and QLD check-in QR code on arrival.

OPINION WarwickStanthorpeToday.com.au

Letters to the editor Last Thursday, 29th April, at about 6.30 am, as I was walking with friends around the River, we came across a group of young people alighting from a bus with a ‘supervisor’ and gardening tools. The next morning we were amazed to see that the pathways were swept clean, the grass cut, the roadside bushland raked and the debris tidied up into neat piles. Sawmill Road and the side Roads had been transformed. I would like to congratulate these young people for an excellent job well done and much appreciated by our group. - Gale Ward, Warwick Last Saturday (1 May) was a beautiful day in Stanthorpe; the sun was shining, trees resplen-

dent in their autumn foliage, temperature perfect. While I was shopping in a supermarket a young girl offered her mother a Mother’s Day confectionery pack, to which her mother replied that a packet of popular biscuits would do nicely. Feeling in good spirits, I remarked that she was a lucky mum and was easily pleased. Imagine my surprise when I got to the checkout to find the lovely young girl waiting for me with a Mother’s Day pack. As I was holding up other customers in declining her offer, I finally accepted the gift, overwhelmed by her generosity. As I proceeded up the street I passed a young man carrying two bags of groceries. Although strangers, we smiled and exchanged g’days, perhaps because it was such a lovely day. Then he called out and presented me with my scarf which had blown away. Another good deed left me feeling even happier. Stanthorpe – I love this town. - Fay Roselt, Applethorpe

I would like to thank the wonderful people at Akooramak Aged Care for the way my dear wife of 58 years was cared for. It could not have been better. The carers, nurses, domestic staff, all treat the residents with love and respect. The support I also received helped me through tough times.

The Valiants are coming A lot of Classic Car Clubs choose the Granite Belt as a special destination for their rallies. The Queensland R & S Valiant Car Club hope to have about eight Valiant cars cruising around next weekend. With these cars, being nearly 60 years old, it will be a case of not Dad showing the kids what he used to drive in his younger days but what Gramps drove back in the sixties. For a close up look they plan to be at the Information Centre on Sunday 16 May at midday.

Go for a look if these old Classic Chrysler cars turn you on. Note all the Italians liked them as they were fast, sleek, powerful and... good looking!

Lister backs predecessor Member for Southern Downs James Lister has said he will be backing his predecessor’s bid for the Liberal National Party (LNP) presidency. Former LNP opposition leader and now Goondiwindi mayor Lawrence Springborg confirmed he intends to run for the party presidency at the state convention in July. “David Crisafulli has a big job to do and as party president I want to help bring the two wings of the LNP back together,” Cr Springborg said. “That is the aim. Nothing more, nothing less.”

The announcement came after Cr Springborg was removed from the Queensland party’s executive mid last year, a move which Mr Lister called “one of a number of desperate and bone-headed moves by senior party members lately”. “Amazingly, they still maintain that it was because Lawrence wasn’t qualified. Are they for real?” he said. “In my opinion, that’s an outright fib and a discourtesy to the intelligence of all Queenslanders.” Mr Lister said Cr Springborg being elected president would be “a giant step in the right direction”.

The WARWICK CHAMBER OF COMMERCE shares their monthly update on local business matters…

‘Chamber Chatter’ By Julia Keogh, President The theme for Queensland Small Business Month (QSBM) during May 2021 is Bounce Back Better, to connect small businesses with information, initiatives and events to come back even stronger following the economic impacts of COVID-19. During May, the Warwick Chamber of Commerce Inc (WCoC) are focused on encouraging local businesses to take a close look at three new small business grants programs, available through the Queensland Government. The Business Basics, Business Boost and Business Growth Fund grants will target specific groups within the sector and continue to deliver on the Government’s election commitments to small business. The grants are being rolled out based on direct feedback received from small business owners through the Small Business Roadshow and online survey which showed support programs are needed to assist Queensland businesses at different stages of the business lifecycle. Business Basics grants of up to $5,000 each support new and emerging businesses to increase core capabilities and adopt current best practice. Applications to open on May 31, 2021. Business Boost grants of up to $15,000 will help small businesses to improve their efficiency and productivity through organisational development and upgrades through automated software and CRM systems. Grants can be used for website development and upgrades, strategic marketing, training and coaching, advisory services and planning for business continuity and succession. Applications to open late July 2021. Business Growth Fund grants of up to

· ·

$50,000 will allow businesses to buy highly specialised equipment to seize and accelerate growth opportunities. Applications to open May 11, 2021, with Guidelines available from 1 May. Following the extensive consultation, the grant programs are also being delivered over the coming months to provide businesses with time to prepare prior to application periods. The upcoming grant schedule is now available on the Business Queensland website. Small business operators should visit the Business Queensland website to access the grants schedule as well as guidelines and eligibility information for the Business Growth Fund to get ready to apply. Stay connected You can stay up-to-date with the latest small business information from the Queensland Government through: Business Queensland website facebook.com/businessqldgov newsletter

· · ·

“In the meantime, I ask the current unelected leadership group to stop making dumb, unsupported and politically offensive decisions which hurt on our reputation, our members and our voter support,” he said. He urged LNP members to elect a “sensible group of loyal and capable people” to support Cr Springborg in his run for president. “David Crisafulli deserves clear air so that he can do his job of holding the Palaszczuk Government to account, and putting forward the policies and leadership that Queenslanders are looking for,” he said.

Southern Downs MP James Lister said a Springborg LNP presidency would be “a giant step in the right direction”.

Celebrating small business By Jess Baker More than 70 of the region’s small business owners and leaders met last week to share their trading secrets and stories of success. Southern Downs Regional Council kicked off Queensland’s Small Business Month with a ‘Realising our Potential’ business breakfast in Warwick on Friday 7 May. It was a celebration of small businesses and an opportunity for the Southern Downs business community to mingle, network and be inspired. Guests heard from local experts Don Drane from the Warwick Solar Farm, Jaimie McMillan from Wild Sage Collective, Richard Millbanks from Grove Juice and Ian Henderson from Australian Vinegar. Each speaker shared their business’ story of growth, and the dos and don’ts they picked up along the way. Guest speaker Jaimie McMillan said the story of her business began when she swapped her city lifestyle for country, and moved with her family to Allora. “During that time of coming to Allora, I found a lot of disconnect,” she said. “I didn’t have a network of people … and I got to thinking that perhaps there would be other women in our community that would feel that way.” Jaimie began working as a massage therapist, and she continued in this role until she was presented with the opportunity to take the business over. “In early 2020 I went on a trip to Melbourne for a trade fair and I got to thinking back to being a woman in business, the opportunities that I had been presented with and how that could look for other women within our community,” she said. “On cue, came Covid.” As per restrictions at the time, Jaimie’s business was unable to operate. So, she made the bold decision to move her building into a larger space. And thus was born Wild Sage Collective. What began as a two-person business, with Jaimie and one employee, is now a 17-staff operation that houses hair, massage, yoga and acupuncture studios as well as a space for occupational therapy and nutrition, and – just recently – a cafe.

Picture: JESS BAKER The ‘Realising our Potential’ business breakfast was the first of SDRC’s May events planned to support and shine a light on local small businesses. Southern Downs Mayor Vic Pennisi encouraged the region’s small businesses to attend as many of the council’s upcoming events as possible to gain crucial knowledge and network with the best. “Our small businesses play a vital role in our region’s economy and Queensland Small Business Month is a chance for them to learn from experts, connect and share knowledge and information with other business people, and take a moment to celebrate their achievements,” Mayor Pennisi said. “People need a hand up, not a hand out, and with over 4000 businesses across the Southern Downs employing more than 15,000 local residents, Council’s support of the small business sector will be instrumental in making Southern Downs a great place to live, work, play and stay.” Upcoming events include a ‘Creating Stories Workshop Series’, a ‘Jobs and Training Expo’, and a wine and cheese networking evening.

Cattle slaughter projected to hit lowest level in 35 years A major reduction in slaughter volumes on the back of significant rainfall in northern Australia over summer has fuelled the prospect of the national cattle herd rebuild intensifying, according to Meat & Livestock Australia’s (MLA) Cattle Industry Projections April update. The cattle herd is predicted to increase by five per cent to 25.9 million head, close to its size in 2019 before the final year of widespread drought induced de-stocking took place. MLA Market Information Manager, Stephen Bignell said significant rainfall in northern Australia across summer has led to sufficient pasture germination for the up-coming dry season, boosting producer confidence and translating into record high livestock prices. “More than expected rainfall led to sufficient pasture ahead of the dry season and has encouraged Northern producers in particular 10 TODAY Thursday, 13 May, 2021

to restock, driving the market even higher,” Mr Bignell said. “Summer rainfall encouraged producers to acquire as many cattle as possible before the northern dry season starts - pushing the Eastern Young Cattle Indicator (ECYI) to break the 900c/kg barrier for the first time in history. “Carcase weights are also expected to increase three per cent this year as producers and feedlots utilise the abundance of pasture

and cheaper feed which is translating into heavier weights.” Mr Bignell said lower slaughter numbers and reduced supply of cattle through saleyards demonstrate that the herd rebuild is gathering momentum. “As producers look to retain cattle and take advantage of the improved seasonal conditions, cattle slaughter is expected to fall 11 per cent from 7.2 million head in 2020 to 6.4 million head in 2021,” Mr Bignell said. “The need to rebuild the national herd following the drought, and the current and forecast growth in demand for Australian beef internationally, has intensified the rebuild. Many producers are focusing on the longerterm outlook of their beef operations and rebuilding herd numbers. There is also a significant number of producers trading cattle in order to take advantage of current grass levels. Mr Bignell said the fall in slaughter and

production would flow onto export volumes, but demand for Australian beef remained high. “Export volumes are expected to fall 12 per cent to 1,350,000 tonnes cwt, however the reduction in exports is a result of cattle supply shrinking and is not linked to demand. Demand for Australian beef remains high which can be demonstrated by the price being paid on a per kilo basis,” Mr Bignell said. Australian live exports are forecast to fall 26 per cent this calendar year to 750,000 head, however by 2023 live exports are tipped to rebound 27 per cent to 950,000 head on the back on increased supply, easing prices and the economic recovery of key trading partners post COVID-19.

This Anzac Day marked the 106th anniversary of the 1915 Gallipoli landing, which was the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during World War I. It lasted eight-and-a-half months and involved nearly one million men of whom between one third and one half became casualties. For Anglicare Southern Queensland’s Maintenance Coordinator David Lefrancke, Anzac Day will always hold a very special place in his heart as his grandfather Lance-Corporal Gordon Lefrancke served in Gallipoli and in France in World War I. Gordon was just 22 from Warwick when he embarked on the HMAT Rangatira A22 on 25 September, 1914. His service number was 43 and he served in the 3rd Field Ambulance as a stretcher bearer which was the Field Ambulance Company that belonged to the Third Brigade of the First Division, comprised of 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th Battalions. The Third Brigade was the first to land at Gallipoli as the Covering Force and the Field Ambulances were soon in action being established near the beach. “My grandfather was a stretcher bearer in Gallipoli. After the war he came back to Warwick and was employed as a superintendent with the Queensland Ambulance Service, known then as the Warwick Ambulance Brigade for 50 years,” David said. “He got a big plaque put up for his length of service. I know that when he retired in 1964, he came and lived at our place for around 12 months.” Unfortunately David’s grandfather died when he was just six-years-old and soon after, his dad died. It wasn’t until he was in his fifties that he decided to track down some information on his grandfather, coming across a letter and some medals from his aunty. Gordon died on October 15, 1967 in his hometown of Warwick and is buried alongside his wife Violet Edna who died on September 12, 1966. “He was a quiet sort of guy. I remember going to his place which was an Old Queenslander in the middle of Warwick when he was working for the ambulance centre,” David said. “I remember as kids we’d go to the house at Christmas time and there was like five of us and out on the veranda there was this huge Christmas tree and down the back you could smell the bakery - because it was right on the back fence. “We’d race out there in the morning and my grandmother would say ‘go out and get the bread’ so you’d race out there and get the fresh bread and bring them all back, so there’s all those sorts of things that I can remember and the smells of those times. “Even as a kid I didn’t really know him.” David said he’s proud of everyone who fought and sacrificed their lives for our freedom. According to David’s aunty, his grandfather was working with John Simpson Kirkpatrick (of Simpson and his Donkey fame) who day and night worked cheerfully and unconcernedly amid fierce shrapnel and rifle-fire, carrying the wounded from the head of Monash valley down Shrap-

A young Lance Corporal Gordon Lefrancke. nel gully to the beach, with his donkey named Duffy. His inspirational work and good fortune were to be short-lived. On May 19, Kirkpatrick was shot through the heart in Monash Valley and buried on the beach at Hell Spit. “You have to take your hat off to people like that, who go into a war with no weapons and no way to defend yourself just to go and save people and bring soldiers back to get treated, so you have to be pretty proud of those sorts of men,” David said. In 1941 Gordon Lefrancke renewed contact with his friend who he thought had died during the war, 20 years later. A newspaper clipping from Trove with the headline read: Lost War Friend Found. Every year David has participated in the annual Anzac Day march in Caboolture, except for last year’s which was cancelled due to Covid-19. He is looking forward to marching again this Sunday after the Queensland Government gave the go ahead for all services. “It’s a very emotional time for me. You’re standing there and you have your grandfather and fathers’ medals on and I’m very proud of what they did,” he said. “Most of those who fought in World War I and World War II are no longer alive, so I guess we’ve lost those sorts of guys who did what they did for Australia back then. “Every one of those Australian’s were volunteers. There were no conscripts, they weren’t forced to go to the army, they were all volunteers back then. Thousands of men who went to fight for England. We tagged along and sent along our youngest and bravest guys and they all volunteered. “They all raced into these country towns like Warwick, and they put their hand up and said ‘yes, I’m going’ and they all went. My grandfather’s registration for the army was 43. He was 43 in the line up to go join World War I. He must’ve heard about it and that was it, he was gone and was doing it. It shows Australian mateship. That was where it was forged.”

Celebrating success and growth

FLTR Mayor Vic Pennisi, Ian Henderson, Richard Milbanks, Don Drane, Jaime McMillian and Jeff Flood. More than 65 local business leaders came together recently to share and celebrate success and growth stories and to start important resilience conversations across the region’s business network at the Realising our Potential Business Breakfast. The Southern Downs business community was inspired after the panel of local experts from Australian Vinegar, Grove Juice, Warwick Solar Farm and Wild Sage Collective shared how their businesses came to be the successes they are today, including some of the struggles along the way.

Do you know a dangerous traffic black spot? Every year, Council targets notorious traffic black spots for improvements and upgrades as part of its ongoing commitment to road safety and is calling on the community to nominate local dangerous roads and intersections. Through the Australian Government’s Black Spot Program, Council is seeking funding in 2022/23 to fix areas of concern and will submit specific projects for funding approval following community feedback and previously identified projects/locations. Southern Downs Mayor Vic Pennisi said road safety is everyone’s responsibility and

Round Two of this program is now open for submissions. Southern Downs Councillor and member of the RADF Reference Group, Marco Gliori has watched the local arts scene thrive through this program in recent years and encouraged local groups and individuals to realise

about the means to support our community and regional economy.” Under its funding criteria, the Government classifies black spots as either reactive or proactive: reactive sites are roads or intersections which have a crash history and proactive sites are ones considered potentially hazardous. their creative vision. “It’s an exciting time for the region’s arts scene and we’ve seen a number of creative and cultural projects come to fruition through this funding stream,” Councillor Gliori said. “RADF supports a variety of different projects in the visual art, music, theatre, dance, digital

The Southern Downs Ag Expo returns to Stanthorpe this year and primary producers are invited to attend this free event on Thursday 3 June to meet one-on-one with a cross section of agency experts and specialists and discuss drought assistance opportunities. Council will bring together leading government and not-forprofit agencies such as Rural Aid, Drought Angels and RHealth to offer support and advice to assist drought affected producers rebuild their livelihoods following years of crippling drought.

Southern Downs Councillor Cynthia McDonald knows first-hand the challenges local primary producers have faced and urged those affected to reach out at the upcoming Ag Expo and forge a new path into the future. “Council is acutely aware that the recovery process for our local agriculture sector will take some time as the repercussions of years of drought have caused a massive downturn in the productivity in these sectors,” Councillor McDonald said. “Support from Council and our

local agencies can provide the vital link for information on available assistance specific to primary producers.” The return of the hugely popular Ten Minutes with a Master is set to be a firm favourite on the expo’s agenda.

TOP PICKS OF THE WEEK

DIE HARD 4.0 SEVEN, 9.50pm

SATURDAY

THOR SEVEN, 7.30pm

Australian actor Chris Hemsworth (pictured, right) is charismatic as the Marvel superhero. It follows the warrior to Earth after his banishment from Asgard, a supernatural kingdom where his brother, Loki (Tom Hiddleston, pictured left), has usurped the throne. Some clunky dialogue, but for sheer spectacle it delivers plenty. The blockbuster doesn’t get any bigger than this. Huge sets, bulging muscles, thundering voices and an epic backstory.

SUNDAY

THE LEADERSHIP ABC TV PLUS, 8.30pm

Following Aussie CEO Fabian Dattner’s (pictured) mission to empower female scientists, and hopefully tackle climate change in the process, this is an illuminating and inspiring expedition. And this journey isn’t only figurative; it also takes place on an attractive ship navigating the wild terrain of Antarctica. Dattner is a fierce leadership coach who is passionate about empowering female scientists to create great change. She rounds up 70 of the best from around the world for a breathtaking and personally challenging trip to witness climate change firsthand. The strong personalities and ideas, along with the awesome terrain, make it a must-see in this post #MeToo world.

SATURDAY

INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS NINE, 10.20pm

Legendary Kill Bill director Quentin Tarantino clearly savours the sweet taste of revenge, serving up yet another gloriously violent tale of retribution. Brad Pitt stars as Lieutenant Aldo Raine, the bloodthirsty boss of a crack squad of Jewish-American Nazi hunters, assigned to spread fear throughout the Third Reich at the height of World War II by brutally killing anyone sporting a swastika. During their rampage across Europe the titular “basterds” cross paths with Shosanna Dreyfus (Melanie Laurent, above), a French-Jewish woman who runs a Parisian cinema which is targeted by the soldiers and undercover agent Bridget von Hammersmark (Diane Kruger). If you’re a Tarantino fan, you won’t be disappointed.

Bruce Willis (below) is back as seemingly indestructible John McClane in the exhilarating fourth instalment of the series. Our hero is out to save his beloved USA from a cyber-terrorist (Timothy Olyphant). It’s widely acknowledged that the original Die Hard was one of the greatest action movies of the ’80s, and Underworld director Len Wiseman serves up a stuntsmothered action whopper to rival the original and leave fans of the franchise hungry for more. Justin Long (Going The Distance) is solid as McClane’s nerdy hacker sidekick, while Hong Kong hottie Maggie Q high-kicks her way through the non-stop thrills and spills as the villain’s top henchwoman. Keep an eye out for indie director Kevin Smith as a super-geek who helps out McClane when he’s in a pinch. Yippee-ki-yay indeed.

RURAL LINKS WarwickStanthorpeToday.com.au

Rural Links Rodeo’s welcome return By Jess Baker Warwick’s famous Rodeo and Gold Cup Campdraft will return in October, with organisers determined to raise the bar after last year’s Covid-induced cancellation. Often referred to as the ‘Melbourne Cup’ of campdrafting, the Warwick Gold Cup boasts more riders and more prize money than any other campdraft in Australia. The Rodeo is also highly anticipated each year, but perhaps never more so than in 2021 following its year-long hiatus. Teilah Mckelvey of the Warwick Show and Rodeo Society said plans are in motion to ensure the 2021 event, which will be held from 25 October to 31 October, is better than ever before. “This year we will continue to host the APRA National Finals, where Australia’s top cowboys and cowgirls will compete for their titles,” she said. Teilah said the society is eager to welcome competitors back to the arena for the Gold Cup Campdraft after what has been a few tough years of drought and water security issues. “We can’t wait to invite visitors to our region to enjoy some good old country hospitality, enjoy the spectacle that is the Rodeo and Campdraft and kick up the dust into the night with live entertainment,” she said. She said events across the region have experienced a massive spike in attendance since Covid-19 regulations were relaxed, and the Warwick Show and Rodeo Society is hoping the 2021 Rodeo and Campdraft will garner similar attention.

The country’s top cowboys and cowgirls will return to the saddle in October for the Warwick Rodeo and Campdraft. Last year was the first year the Warwick Rodeo and Gold Cup Campdraft had been cancelled in more than half a century. Previously, the Warwick Show and Rodeo Society had only ever pulled the plug on the event in 1965 due to extreme drought and, before that, during World War II. The event is known to draw crowds in excess of 30,000 people, as well as riders and

horses from across the country, in turn generating significant economic activity. More than that, it has provided people an opportunity for reprieve during times of drought, bushfires, and – more recently – Covid-19. Teilah said the society’s events and marketing team is working closely with Queensland Health to ensure the event is Covid-safe.

Tickets will be available in early June via the Warwick Show and Rodeo website, with prepurchasing encouraged as spaces are limited in accordance with Covid-safe requirements. More information about the event, including ticket release dates and prize money payouts, will be shared to Warwick Show and Rodeo Society’s Facebook and website https:// warwickshowandrodeo.com.au/.

Time for producer pro tips: Ten Minutes with a Master By Jess Baker Primary producers across the region will soon have the chance to meet one-on-one with agency experts at a new council-led expo. The Southern Downs Ag Expo is set to return to Stanthorpe on Thursday 3 June, with the hugely popular ‘Ten Minutes with a Master’ a core feature. Host Southern Downs Regional Council will bring together leading government and not-for-profit agencies like Rural Aid, Drought Angels and RHealth at the event, to offer support and advice to drought-affected producers. Southern Downs councillor Cynthia McDonald said she knows first-hand the chal-

lenges local primary producers have faced. “The Southern Downs region has finally received some very much needed rain and for this we are very appreciative,” Cr McDonald said. “However this does not mean the drought has broken, and as a community, we need to start the rebuilding process.” Cr McDonald said SDRC is acutely aware that the recovery process for local agriculture and business sectors will take time, as years of drought have had a significant effect on productivity. “Support from Council and our local agencies can provide the vital link for information on available assistance specific to primary producers,” she said.

The free event will run from 8.30am to 5.00pm Thursday 3 June at the Stanthorpe Civic Centre, and will include ‘Ten Minutes with a Master’ sessions, the opportunity to wander trade stores from government agencies and local suppliers, and a night-time networking event. To secure a ‘Ten Minutes with a Master’ session, bookings are essential. Contact SDRC’s Dani Kinnear at dani.kinnear@sdrc. qld.gov.au or call 1300 697 372 to confirm your attendance. What is Ten Minutes with a Master? The objective of this component of the event is to facilitate conversation between primary producers and agency experts around the types of drought assistance, such as:

· Rural Financial Assistance · Farm Household Allowance through Services Australia · Department of Agriculture and Fisheries programs · Rural Aid · Queensland Country Women’s Association Grants · Department of Employment, Small Businesses and Training programs · Council’s Business Advice Support Program · Drought Angels · Tackling regional adversity through integrated care · Health

NEWS WarwickStanthorpeToday.com.au

Warwick Bridge Club... Every month the Australian Bridge Federation publishes a list of the most improved players for the year to date based on a comparison of their performance in the past year and the current year. At the Warwick Bridge Club the most improved players so far this year are Pat Kelly, Mavis Simpson, Tom Graham and Tony Hinde in that order. Pat has done extremely well to improve this year, as he is the current holder of the Kemp Shield in recognition of his solid results last year. Board 1 from Monday of last week shows Pat in action. Pat, with John Nankervis were the only pair to bid and make 4H, which required Pat (South) to make ten tricks. After 1D from Pat and 1NT from John, Pat was able to show his heart suit at the two level. John could revalue his hand because of the single card in diamonds and raise the bidding to 4H. West led the two of diamonds instead of the recommended three of clubs. Pat routinely

won with the Ace and again routinely would start to remove the defenders’ trumps. He would soon discover the 4-1 split in East/West’s trumps. Best practice in this situation is to stop leading trumps and to set up the spades for discards in South’s hand and to cash the Ace of clubs. Declarer then cross-ruffs as many clubs and diamonds as possible before East intervenes with a trump. East/West can win only one spade, a trump and possibly a diamond. Contract made.

VACANCY RATES IN QLD EXTREMELY LOW THE first quarter results for 2021 state rental vacancies are in, with the latest data revealing 78.9 per cent of Queensland’s rental markets remained static or experienced tighter strains on the number of rentals available. It’s a similar narrative for national vacancy rates, with empty rental listings remaining low across Australia. According to the current vacancy report, released by the Real Estate Institute of Queensland (REIQ), 70.2 per cent of the state’s rental vacancies remain under 1.0 per cent, with the biggest pinch recorded in Brisbane’s inner city, with rates dropping 0.5 per cent over the quarter. “Record-low interest rates, government support and stimulus measures, and the pandemic-driven stampede we’ve witnessed migrating beyond our southern borders have sent Brisbane’s private rental market into uncharted territory, pushing vacancy rates down to their lowest levels since October 2012,” reveals Antonia Mercorella, CEO of the REIQ. “In fact, our capital has seen rental markets across the entire metropolitan tighten quarter-on-quarter for the last four consecutive reporting periods, from Brisbane’s CBD out to the city’s outer rim.” In the last 12 months, rental vacancies dropped 1.1 per cent across the Brisbane LGA while Greater Brisbane saw the market tighten by 0.9 per cent. Further analysis of the numbers show Brisbane’s CBD achieved an incredible 4 per cent comeback in rental demand over the last 12 months, the inner city (0-5km) experienced a 1.3 per cent increase and the mid-city region (5-20km) saw a 1.0 per cent rise while the outer city areas recorded a further 0.8 per cent, almost halving what’s already an extremely tight market (0.9 per cent). Some of the tightest vacancies across the capital’s suburban spread include Anstead (0.5 per cent), Birkdale (0.3 per cent), Capalaba (0.2 per cent), Ferny Hill (0.3 per cent), Gumdale (0.4 per cent), Manly West (0.5 per cent), Rothwell (0.2 per cent), Sandgate (0.5 per cent), Shailer Park (0.4 per cent), Thornside (0.3 per cent) and Wakerley (0.4 per cent). “Where we’re seeing the most pronounced

EMACULATE QUEENSLANDER rental demand levels far outstrip available vacancies is across regional Queensland, with the tightest vacancies currently to be found in the Fraser Coast’s Maryborough (0.2 per cent) followed by the Southern Downs (0.3 per cent) and Bundaberg regions (0.5 per cent), while a rate of 0.4 per cent has been recorded across Gympie, Rockhampton and Sunshine Coast,” Ms Mercorella said. “Meanwhile, the Gold Coast has tightened a further 0.3 per cent to reach a record low of 0.6 per cent in last 15 years of data records.” While the popular Surfers Paradise precinct remains at 0.8 per cent over the quarter, other areas are unprecedentedly tight with the Gold Coast’s northern suburbs recording a median of 0.7 per cent (Biggera Waters 0.5%, Coomera 0.6 per cent, Hope Island 0.5 per cent and Pimpama 0.6 per cent); southern suburbs a median of 0.4 per cent (Burleigh Heads 0.4 per cent, Currumbin 0.4 per cent, Palm Beach 0.5 per cent and Tugun 0.3 per cent); and, western suburbs a median of 0.5 per cent (Ashmore 0.5 per cent, Nerang 0.4 per cent, Oxenford 0.1 per cent and Parkwood 0.5 per cent). - REIQ ●

BUILDING contractors have been reminded that they must only do the type of work that their licence permits, after thousands of dollars in fines were recently issued to two licensees. The Queensland Building and Construction Commission (QBCC) has taken the action to ensure that the appropriate licence is used for the type of building work. In one instance, an individual with a termite-management licence performed repairs and renovation work in excess of $40,000 at an Ingham property. Some of the work was found to be defective. A court fined the man $6500 and ordered him to pay $11,000 in restitution to the owners of the property. The man was charged with two counts of carrying out, or undertaking to carry out, unlicensed contracting (he did not have an appropriate licence). Meanwhile, a Brisbane-based building company has been penalised more than $13,000 for constructing patios in southeast Queensland and northern NSW without the appropriate licence. The company performed the work despite a warning from the QBCC that it did not have the required class of licence for that type of work. QBCC Commissioner Brett Bassett said building work must only ever be performed

Get to know your COUNTRY PUBS

The Sandy Creek Pub.

Bands, fire pits and food There’s been a few changes out at the Sandy Creek Pub In recent months. Nothing too big mind you – after all a lot of the charm of the pub (which is officially known as the Darling Downs Hotel not that many people call it that) is that it has been there forever – well since 1866. But owner operators Kevin and Karen Kiley, who have a farm locally and took on the pub in 2017, have added a new outdoor area. “We’ve added a brand-new undercover area – called the barn – it looks like a barn but it’s come up a treat out here in the beer garden,” Kev said. “It’s getting a lot of use, which is really good. It’s an undercover eating area, back out in the beer garden.” He said they have plenty of fun activities coming up.

“We’ve got a band on May 22 with the traditional pig on the spit and the firepits – that’ll be thirty bucks a head all inclusive and we’ve actually got a new band coming on the 12th of June called Sliding Doors,” Kev explained. “The one on the 22nd is the Whiskey Mountain Boys who have been here before but as I said I have a new band from the Gold Coast coming on the 12th of June. They’ll be here then and of course our kitchen has been doing fantastic and we still have the Jag The Joker every Friday night with the meat trays.” He said Friday nights have been becoming so popular that they have now doubled the meat trays on offer with the proceeds of the raffles going to Lifeflight. “The Jag the Joker is almost $3.5K this Friday night but it seems to be going up and up

and up – a gentleman won $17K two or three weeks,” Kev said. As farmers, Kev and Karen actually produce all of the lamb, pork and beef used in the kitchen and are proud that their food is locally sourced and they know just where it comes from. “Actually it’s all been going pretty well and yes we’re still serving the best Pizza’s in Allen, we still have our Parmy nights on Thursday night where you can have a chicken, pork or beef snitty with your choice of topping,” he said. “On Sunday night it’s Pizza night, in between we have the kitchen open Friday night, Saturday lunch, Saturday night and Sunday lunch. But we want people to watch this space – we are toying with the idea (hasn’t started

yet) of doing Sunday morning breakfasts here at the Sandy.” He hopes to start that soon but with his other business – pig racing – now back and running, Kev is keeping pretty busy and has four events on this weekend alone. “We did do the pig races here on March 20 and we’d like to let people know that each of the charities – there were three charities Warwick Cancer Council, the Wheatvale State School P&C and Lifeflight – we managed to get $2731 for them,” he said. “So we would like to say a big thank you to our major sponsors. It was a good day.” The Sandy Creek Pub is at 345 Sandy Creek Road, Allan. Call Kevin and Karen on 4661 3413 and pay a visit online at www.darlingdownshotel.com.au.

Get to know your COUNTRY PUBS

Family-owned pub a gem Everything old is new again at the beautiful and much-loved second-generation family run Country Club Hotel at Stanthorpe. The historic hotel, dating back to the 30s, reopened earlier this year after a year-long renovation and has once again become a community hub and place for locals and visitors to meet and relax. Steph Elms, who swears her business card has Country Club Head Honcho on it, and her brother Brian, who is the bottleshop manager, embarked on the renovation last year as a tribute to their father Neil Johnson who bought the hotel in 1990 and had wanted to renovate for many years with ill health stopping him. Steph said feedback had been really positive since the venue reopened. “It’s doing really well, it’s nice and fresh and welcoming,” she said. “I think people are excited because they have somewhere new to go to and even though it’s still the Country Club Hotel they still have somewhere nice too – we are getting a lot of nice comments about the renovation.” The makeover was pretty extensive with walls coming down as well as the installation of new carpets, new furniture. “New everything inside – probably the only thing we really kept inside was the old fireplace,” she said. “The fireplace is a beautiful focal point during the next few months particularly – people can come in play the poker machines, have a bet, play the keno, sit around the fire and have a nice local wine. I am very passionate about local wines and really want to let the locals know – sometimes when you’re a local you don’t realise what you have, if you live at the beach you don’t always go to the beach. So you can come to me and try your local wines.

Come and have a chat to Steph at the Country Club Hotel - you won’t be a stranger very long. “Our food is above pub grub – we will have lots of lambshanks and so forth for winter and we still have our beautiful steaks – we still have a traditional pub menu with all the favourites but we have specials where you will have ongoing hearty meals.” She said they had brand new pokermachines making the Hotel a great place to come

on a Sunday and Saturday afternoon with your mates to enjoy the TAB, Keno and Pokermachines and watch the action on the big screens especially as the weather gets colder. There is accommodation on-site, a drive-through Liquor Legends bottle shop and friendly welcoming staff. “We always have background music going

as well – even if you are in the bar you can see the football going, the races, you can see other things happening but we still have the music in the background,” Steph explained. “If they don’t want the music, they say and we just turn it off.” Find the Country Club Hotel at 26 Maryland St, Stanthorpe contact them on (07) 4681 1033.

Hearty meals for cold days GREAT VIEW, GREAT FOOD, GREAT PEOPLE, GREAT PLACE and all on the doorstep of Granite Belt Wine Country

The friendly Ballandean Tavern. – put in the Tavern’s new six-month-old ovens – on a very slow heat before he leaves at night and melt in the mouth by the time it hits the plate. It’s been a tough time to be in the food business with Covid restrictions and for the Tavern – road works. “We have had a more limited menu, we haven’t had pastas and salads on the menu,” he said. But as the restrictions ease, the road works finish and the cold weather brings both tourists and locals back, expect the favourites to make their way back – some have already – as soon as the temperature dropped and Grant was quick to reinstate the ever-popular shanks. Find the friendly Ballandean Tavern, 1 St Judes Lane on the corner of Eukey Rd in Ballandean phone (07) 4684 1044 for more information.

The weather is starting to get colder and Ballandean Tavern’s chef Grant Murphy’s thoughts are turning to hearty winter food. Grant, who trained and worked down on the Gold Coast for eight years before returning home – first to farm and then being called back to cook, is a man who loves his job. He’s also a man with an attention to detail which he believes sets the Tavern apart when you are looking for the perfect place to eat after a morning or afternoon touring around the region wine and enjoying the natural beauty of the area. He makes all of his own sauces, from his homemade burger sauces through to his rich smoky Barbecue and everything in between. Grant even crumbs his own chicken snitzels, believing that the extra care and attention to detail shows in the food and sets them a little apart from your usual “pub grub”. Spending time working on the “Australian meals” in a Thai Restaurant in his early days, observing what the Thai chef’s did means that when a curry appears on the specials board, as it does from time to time, it’s going to be worth ordering. And knowing the cold weather brings hearty appetites, Grant has a winter menu that includes slow cooked meats teamed with chips and salad or the ubiquitous veg and mash as well as all the pub favourites. “Of course, most people prefer the mash with the shanks,” he says conjuring up thoughts of slow cooked meats falling from the bone teamed with creamy mash – perfect after a day in the cold weather in the wine country. This is comfort food hearty, simple and tasty. “We did a lot of seafood on the Gold Coast but it doesn’t really sell here, people want more hearty country-style meals,” he said. He has had two and a half years to fine tune his menu now – learn what sells, what people want. And so, as well as the shanks you’ll also pork spare ribs and the slow roasted brisket

Tuck into a scrumptious meal at our on site restaurant or unwind and share a few laughs and a drink our on our verandah, looking over the beautiful Ballandean Valley

Nutty for pistachios

Australians eat about 3500 tonnes of pistachios per year. per year so we have a way to go to completely supply the local market. Most nuts that are eaten in Australia are imported from Iran and the United States. Fresh nuts are easiest to sell at markets and online, are welcomed by people of Asian and Middle Eastern heritage, and processing nuts apparently is a lot of work. Maybe that and the fact that they are mostly imported, is why they are relatively expensive to buy. The trees generally start producing nuts after about six years, reach their peak at about 12 years, so not a quick crop, but can continue bearing for 50 to 100 plus years!! A well man-

aged orchard should have trees producing 10 kilograms of fresh nuts at 10 years of age and this will increase with maturity. Plant them early in life and the succeeding generations will be able to enjoy the “nuts” of your labour for many years! If you would like to grow one in a house yard, it would be good to have a neighbour that liked them also as they are not self fertile and you need to have a male and female tree in relatively close proximity to get a crop of nuts. The trees, like chestnuts, are wind pollinated and one male to 10 female trees is the recommendation in an orchard situation. If I had a large house yard or small acreage I think I could be tempted to try and grow one and learn how to use them as they are full of all the good things. They have the lowest calorie count of all nuts, the fat content is unsaturated and they are full of vitamins, minerals and fibre. These trees are not to be confused with the lovely, small to medium sized tree, commonly called “Chinese Pistachio”, properly, “Pistacia Chinensis”, that excels as a street and park tree with spectacular autumn foliage. My son has one in his backyard in the Tamworth area and the colours are really beautiful in autumn. It provides great shade through summer to the outdoor area, but being deciduous, allows the sun through in the winter. With the aid of a leaf blower and the ride on mower, fallen leaves don’t provide a problem for long! Perfect tree for the spot!

It seems they need 600 hours per year at temperatures over 30 degrees and six weeks below seven, so maybe they are more suited to Stanthorpe than Warwick for the chill factor. They are classified as a “high desert” tree and thrive in suitable areas of inland Australia, with most commercial farms occurring along the Murray River in NSW, Victoria and SA, some in WA and one isolated farm near Dubbo! They are from the same family as cashews and are definitely a bit picky about the temperature. The fruit looks similar to bunches of grapes hanging on the trees and the nuts have a split outer shell exposing the kernel. This feature gives rise to them being referred to as the “the smiling nut”. They are tolerant of a range of soil types, are more tolerant of salt than many other fruit and nut trees, tough in drought conditions, produce for years, and are resistant to most common orchard pests and diseases. They’ll grow to about six to 10 metres tall and spread about the same. They have a deep tap root and really thrive in deep sandy loam with deep watering but they don’t like humidity. They are tolerant of more saline water than most things.. maybe I should have tried them at Narromine as the bore on that property was quite saline. There are only about 45 growers across Australia farming 950 hectares and these farms are expected to produce about 3000 tonnes of nuts this year. Australians eat about 3500 tonnes

12494246-HC20-21

It might seem that I’m a bit nutty about nuts at present! As part of a trip into western N.S.W., I passed through Elong Elong, where there is a pistachio farm. I called, but as luck would have it, it was a case of “no nuts today”! Pistachios are a relatively - about 50 years ago!! - new nut to me and I must say not a favourite. Almonds, peanuts, brazils, walnuts and pecans, cashews in all their forms - raw, dry roasted, salted and honeyed - and even hazelnuts, are all favourites and come in well ahead of pistachios. However I thought I needed to find out a bit more about these slightly unusual nuts as this farm is the only one I know off and I have driven past it for many years. Commercial pistachio farming commenced in Australia in the 1980s following research by CSIRO at Merbein in Victoria and a new female variety “Sirora” particularly suited to the Murray River valley was released in 1982. This variety is almost the only one grown in Australia. With research I found that this particular farm at Elong has been growing the nuts for 35 years and has 2000 trees, so I really did see it in its infancy, as at that time I lived near Narromine. It was also a very early commercial planting. The climate is not all that different from areas around Warwick so maybe they are another tree that could be grown locally. Looking from the road they are not an overly large tree, nicely shaped and look as if they would be decorative in a house yard.

Polocrosse back in action The Cunningham Polocrosse Club will be hosting a carnival this weekend, 15 and 16 May, at the Bony Mountain Recreation Reserve. Competition will be held in Open, Mixed, Juniors and Mini-Juniors. Play will commence at 8.00am both days, with the finals commencing from 12 noon on the Sunday. Polocrosse is known for being the one horse sport, but the club is running this carnival as a mutli-horse carnival. This is where players can bring young hors-

es on in the carnival atmosphere, without the pressures of having to play a full weekend of Polocrosse. The club will be looking at fielding up to seven teams, and with teams likely to come from Northern NSW and the Southern part of Queensland, it is hoping that the carnival will draw approximately 40 to 45 teams. With the 12-month break due to Covid, players have been anxious to be back out on the field, with the club already being repre-

sented at carnivals at Chinchilla, Warwick and Tansey. The club had two of its players, Elizah Feltham and Teagan Lamb, both represent Queensland at the recent Warwick Barastoc carnival in the Junior competition, where they came out the winners over NSW. And to cap the weekend off, the club’s first open team played in the Shell Cup final against Warwick. The recent rain has enabled the club to pre-

pare seven all-weather fields with a large grass coverage and this will see some great polocrosse played. Canteen and bar facilities will operate from Friday night, with a DJ playing both nights. A welcome sausage sizzle for players and spectators will be Friday night, with a twocourse meal prepared for Saturday night. The venue will be operating under Covid regulations.
