A feral problem By Emily-Rose Toohey Rural Southern Downs property owners are facing the challenges of wild dogs, cats, and foxes impacting the viability of their land. Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) has a baiting program to help mitigate this

problem, which is undertaken in collaboration with the landholders. An SDRC spokesperson said the program is one of the controls designed to minimise the impact feral animals have on livestock and occurs up to four times a year. “The more landholders who participate, the greater the impact the program has to con-

trol feral animals,” the spokesperson said. “The baiting service for landholders does not incur a cost and a great deal of effort is focused on achieving high participation rates amongst landholders.” Grazier Paul Maher is one of these partici-

pating landholders and is part of a group of residents involved with coordinated baiting. Paul said the group met last Wednesday at Wildash and their aims are to make landholders more aware of the wild dog problem and to strategise ways of improving it. More on page 4

Lining the pockets of a wealthy few The Editor, $126.5M for the proposed Emu Swamp Dam (ESD) to the benefit of about 50 rich farmers and farming companies. This must be the most egregious example of agrarian socialism in modern Australian history and another indulgent waste of taxpayers’ money by a coalition Government anxious to retain majority by any means possible. After the GHD report cast doubt on the viability of the ESD project the proponents just went to another engineering consultancy that gave them the result they wanted, a dam and pipeline for M$ 84, “pie in the sky”. As it turned out the project was never going to get off the ground for that price and the proponents have gone to government and procured almost 1½ times that amount of EXTRA funding. Experience has shown with other multimillion dollar infrastructure projects, cost overruns are more than likely and the dam proponents will yet again go to Government for more handouts. The writer is not opposed to dams per se but this proposed dam is a dud; it is shallow, leading to high evaporation losses, poorly located relative to the rich, potential users, it would be bone dry after a period of drought such as that which we have recently witnessed and would be of no benefit to the town of Stan-

thorpe under such drought conditions. The proposed Petrie’s Crossing weir and off stream storage would have provided much greater water security for the town at a much reduced cost. Christopher Gray, Stanthorpe

Fiscal responsibility? Well I’ll be dammed Dear editor, It doesn’t say much for the Federal Government’s fiscal responsibility that it is prepared to toss another $126.6 million into propping up the Emu Swamp Dam proposal on top of the $89 million that they had already commited to the project. This is an extraordinary waste of public money for a proposal that has not yet

obtained a raft of approvals nor demonstated that it is value for money. It doesn’t have the agreement of all of the landowners affected by innundation from the dam or impacted by the pipeline routes, nor acquired their land or necessary approvals. It has failed to meet the environmental conditions attached to past approvals nor demonstrated how it is going to minimise the impacts on threatened species and regional ecosystems. It does not even have approvals for the water allocations needed to make the proposal viable. This project is not the most cost effective nor reliable source for Stanthorpe’s future water security and exposes the Council and its ratepayers to the potential to help pick up the tab for cost overuns. The original cost of dam construction was estimated to be $84 million and this has now blown out to over $200 million. If the government wants to genuinely assist agricultural development on the Granite Belt, then it could have invested its money in supporting water efficiency measures that would benefit all farmers and not just a select few. There surely should be a limit to how much taxpayer and ratepayer money is commited to a project which by any fair and independent assessment fails to provide a net benefit to the community. Yours sincerely, Liz Bourne, Stanthorpe

Creedence incoming By Emily-Rose Toohey Creedence: The John Fogerty Show from Jabba Entertainment will be performing live at Warwick RSL on Friday 29 April. This is a chance for local audiences to experience the classic and timeless rock music of songwriter, guitarist, and singer John Fogerty, frontman of Creedence Clearwater Revival. Jabba Entertainment co-director Nathan Ward, guitarist for the tribute band, said they decided to cover Creedence and John Fogerty due to the band’s huge catalogue. “They’re just one of those bands that have so many recognisable songs,” Nathan said. “Even if you don’t know the names of them, we’ve found that once the music starts, people instantly recognise the songs.” Nathan’s journey as a creative has been a long one, and he said music has always been in his family’s blood. “My father and uncle were in a band called Black Circus, my grandmother was in to music, and we always had instruments around the house,” he said. “It’s one of those things where Sol (Jabba Entertainment co-director) and I just thought about being full time musicians all of our lives. “We started Jabba to be a more transparent and open company in an industry that can sometimes not be these things.” The Creedence tour has well and truly started, and Nathan said the band are currently performing throughout South East Queensland before heading to Rockhampton, then finally to Victoria. “I love touring - I’m a single guy and it’s the musician in me who loves being on the road,” Nathan said. “I enjoy finishing a show and looking forward to the next one, and seeing the town, the pub, and the people.” He said that the Warwick audience are in for a really good night of entertainment.

Car crashes into MP’s office By Emily-Rose Toohey Last Thursday, a car crashed into Southern Downs MP James Lister’s Warwickbased office in King Street. A police spokesperson said after the crash was reported, it was discovered that a station wagon had driven into the building and struck a parked car. “Initial investigations indicate that the station wagon was attempting to park at the time,” the spokesperson said. “No one was physically injured and investigations are ongoing.” Warwick Police acting Officer in Charge Sergeant Cameron Slater mirrored these statements. “This was a single vehicle accident and the investigations are still continuing,” Officer Slater said.

Creedence: The John Fogerty Show, is coming to Warwick on 29 April. “Sol and I were touring full time and decided we wanted to get back to something we could keep more local for Queensland and Australia, and was something more positive that crosses a lot of generations, which is how we landed on Creedence,” Nathan said. Frontman Andre Lemberg will lead the tribute band and sing the greatest hits from Creedence Clearwater Revival and Fogerty’s solo career.

The songs performed will be Bad Moon Rising, Fortunate Son, Green River, Proud Mary, Suzie Q, Run Through The Jungle, Born on the Bayou, The Old Man Down The Road, and many more. Nathan said the venue’s capacity is currently 80 per cent filled, and tickets can be purchased through OZTIX: https://tickets.oztix.com.au/outlet/event/851a5ecb-33f7-4b7f8b49-5d0ef7839669

Fresh new digs for Headspace Warwick Man found A new era dawned at headspace Warwick when the youth mental health service relocated to a new site at 58 Palmerin Street. This new building came with an expanded activity space for young people compared to the service’s former Albion Street home. On top of providing youth mental health services, headspace Warwick now has room for young people to socialise, study, and access multimedia equipment for work, study, and creative purposes. The centre is a free and confidential service that helps young people in the community aged 12-25 with their mental health and wellbeing. headspace Warwick provides services focusing on four key areas: mental health, physical and sexual health, work, school and study, and alcohol and other drugs. The new building, which was co-designed in collaboration with headspace Warwick’s Youth Reference Group, provides ample of

space for these services to be delivered. Opening hours have also been increased to provide young people, their families, and friends more access to support before and after school or work. headspace Warwick Centre Manager Travis Maguire said young people and staff had been looking forward to moving into the new centre. “With a new CBD location and a purposebuilt community activity room, we are excited to continue to offer our free service to the community,” Travis said. “Our Youth Reference Group have had a real hands-on contribution to the centre and we look forward to hosting a community walk through soon.” Youth Reference Group member Amy Ryan described the important role the group played in developing the new site. “I really enjoyed being involved in the building planning,” Amy said. “The Youth Reference Group were kept in

the loop about everything going on and any suggestions we had were taken into account.” Referring to the co-designing process, Amy said that they were shown samples for flooring and wall colours. “We also went for a walk through in the new centre which was all really interesting,” she said. headspace CEO Jason Trethowan said the new location means more young people can access support when and where they need it most. “This new location will empower headspace Warwick to assist even more young people to get through challenging times, and to lead happy, healthy lives,” Jason said. “After the events of the past two years, it is more important than ever that young Australians have access to support for their mental health and well-being.” The new centre opened in mid-March of this year.

Warwick Police acting Officer in Charge Sergeant Cameron Slater said the man was located by police and no other person was involved. “We will be doing a report for the coroner and continue ongoing investigations,” Officer Slater said. Due to the incident being of sensitive nature, a police spokesperson said they will not be providing further details on the matter as a result.

Feral attacks rise

Easter safety By Emily-Rose Toohey

By Emily-Rose Toohey Rural Southern Downs property owners are facing the challenges of wild dogs, cats, and foxes impacting the viability of their land. Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) has a baiting program to help mitigate this problem, which is undertaken in collaboration with the landholders. An SDRC spokesperson said the program is one of the controls designed to minimise the impact feral animals have on livestock and occurs up to four times a year. “The more landholders who participate, the greater the impact the program has to control feral animals,” the spokesperson said. “The baiting service for landholders does not incur a cost and a great deal of effort is focused on achieving high participation rates amongst landholders.” Grazier Paul Maher is one of these participating landholders and is part of a group of residents involved with coordinated baiting. Paul said the group met last Wednesday at Wildash and their aims are to make landholders more aware of the wild dog problem and to strategise ways of improving it. “We have very small meetings with three of the shire pest management people and three landholders,” Paul said. “There are half a dozen blokes who will get the meat, cut it up, and place it around the area in coordination with council’s baiting program. “With this group we provide the meat to six rural localities, just south of Morgan Park. “Feral animals are fairly predotorial, and will kill calves, sheeps, and goats.” Fellow grazier Ben Usher is also involved with helping people co-ordinate the program, and he said that the primary problem is produces worried about stock loss. “The problem has gotten more visible, not

calves throughout last season,” he said. “Yes produces can try every option, including trapping and shooting, but baiting can be highly coordinated and is more effective. However, Ben said the poison itself is very target specific and will not kill anything else if it is put out correctly - native animals are immune to it. In regards to baiting times with council, Ben said that SDRC puts out the dates then the landholder group try to get as much baiting coverage as possible. “When we know of the date, there are 60 people on our list and three or four of us ring around or text and everybody,” he said. “People just turn up and it makes it easier for them and the fellows at council loan us a mobile cold room.” “But overall, this issue is just so complex.”

Due to recent weather events including flooding in the Southern Downs and surrounding regions, roads have been damaged and travellers are encouraged to be cautious when driving this Easter. A Transport and Main Roads spokesperson said that road conditions can be impacted by weather, traffic, roadworks and hazards. “It is important to drive to conditions, reduce speed, and be prepared for any changes to the road surface,” the spokesperson said. “We encourage all drivers to pay attention and put safety first.” Furthermore, the spokesperson said that ahead of the Easter holidays, they urge motorists to plan their journeys by checking road information or local government websites, including Southern Downs Regional Council’s (SDRC) Disaster Dashboard. “The former is on the QLDTraffic website at qldtraffic.qld.gov.au,” the spokesperson said. “You can also call 13 19 40 or download the QLDTraffic app.” For further information, visit https:// www.qld.gov.au/transport/safety/roadsafety/driving-safely/driving-conditions

After recent weather events damaging roads, the advice is to stay cautious on the highway.

Event scene thriving By Emily-Rose Toohey Over the past few weeks, the Southern Downs region has played host to a variety of both tourist attracting and community spirited events. After an uncertain start to the year with Omicron cases rising rapidly in the state, a number of scheduled shows and events were postponed or cancelled. However, this turned around with the arrival of the Apple and Grape Harvest Festival in late February. Apple and Grape president Russell Wantling said that although they are still working out the exact attendance figures, he thinks it was between 50,000 and 60,000 people. “With all the problems that we had with the floods and Covid, people were just happy to be out,” Russell said. “Everyone had a smile on their faces and we got no negative feedback.” He said that all in all the committee did a pretty great job. “Everyone’s so positive - it’s great.” Shortly after Apple and Grape wrapped up for another two years, attention was turned to Warwick with its Agricultural Show. However, Warwick Show Chairman John Maher said that attendance was slightly down this year due to ongoing occurrences in the world. “We’ve got no exact figures yet,” John said. “We thank our volunteers and sponsors, because without the hard work they put in we wouldn’t have a show.” He said that it is great for people to get out and about and feels that the recently lifted

After a rough few years due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Warwick Twin Cinema has applied for the second round of SCREEN Fund, which opened on 24 December last year and is set to close on 29 April. The SCREEN Fund, also known as the Supporting Cinemas’ Retention Endurance and Enhancement of Neighbourhoods Fund, was administered by Screen Australia and designed to support independent cinema operators who have experienced significant declines in revenue due to the pandemic. Grants under the second round of funding are available to cinemas that can demonstrate that their box office revenue between 1 July 2021 and 30 September 2021 was more than 30 per cent below their box office revenue for the same period in 2019. Warwick Twin Cinema owner Michael Kairouz said the theatre is yet to receive the funds they applied for, a total of $35,000. “There’s so many ways this money can help,” Michael said. “We need two new projectors, which has been on the agenda since before 2020 and

Council acknowledges road damages Council understands that recent wet weather has caused delays across multiple industries. Multiple applications for funding assistance from the Queensland Reconstruction Authority have been submitted and roads will be repaired once funding has been approved. Council reminds the community that if it’s flooded, forget it’ and thanks residents for their patience and willingness to use alternative routes rather than risking lives to cross flooded roads.

Drought Resilience Leaders Mentoring Program

Apple and Grape committe with SDIEA volunteers. Covid restrictions would have attracted more people. “We did what we could and are anticipating next year’s show with less travel restrictions,” John said. A week after the Warwick Show, all eyes were on CelticFest. CelticFest spokesperson Alexander Manfield said 500 people bought tickets on the day and 6,200 pre-bought them. “Then there’s the volunteers and pipe band people on top of that,” Alexander said. Another CelticFest spokesperson Pamela Clark-Dickson said they think it is really important, especially after Covid-19, to have events like CelticFest that attract visitors to the Southern Downs.

“We also encouraged people to see other places in the region,” Pamela said. Furthermore, Alexander said that they tried to make the festival feel both Celtic and regionally specific. “Overall it was a great outcome and we tried to promote local produce,” he said. “It’s definitely happening again next year and will mark 100 years of Warwick Thistle Pipe Band.” Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) Mayor Vic Pennisi said that these events are always a positive draw card. “The sounds of those buses coming, wine glasses clinking, and vehicles humming down Cunninghams Gap is the sound of a strong economy,” Cr Pennisi said.

Local cinema applies for SCREEN fund By Emily-Rose Toohey

IN BRIEF

they are very costly, but we kept on persevering with the old ones. “We also desperately need the candy bar area improved.” The SCREEN fund’s purpose is to support the viability and recovery of independent cinema businesses, which Michael said is a positive outcome. “It’s something to keep us going for a bit longer, especially as blockbuster movies are starting to come back,” he said. Recent releases like Spider-Man: No Way Home and The Batman have made millions at the worldwide box office and have attracted eager locals to the Warwick theatre as a result. “The cinema is also a benefit to Warwick because there’s a social element to it,” Michael said. “My biggest concern would be seeing the current and next generations not growing up with a cinema - I’d hate that.” However, it was hard for Michael and his staff to feel positive about the survival of cinema’s during the uncertainty of 2020, a period where he said Warwick Twin Cinema was on the verge of closing down.

“Our biggest cost was having only one or two or five people attending per movie session,” he said. “This means a $100 loss in revenue for us, we need a minimum of 20 people for a session to be viable, that’s why we suffered so badly - we were not happy.” Michael said that the cost to run the cinema was a challenge due a lack of customers combined with wages, electricity, and general wear and tear costs. “Hopefully things will continue to get better,” he said. “They have been looking more promising with the new movie releases but we’re not getting the numbers that we used, only about 50 per cent.” Nonetheless, Michael is awaiting the SCREEN fund money which he said will provide temporary assistance - but money is spent quickly. Warwick Twin Cinema is located on 81 Grafton Street in Warwick, and is currently showing The Bad Guys (PG), Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (PG), Fantastic Beasts: the Secrets of Dumbledore (M), Morbius (M), and The Lost City (M).

The government are connecting more mentors and mentees to build leaders and resilience in agriculture communities. Through the mentoring program, more than 400 people from all parts of the country and industry have been connected to share trusted advice and build community leaders for challenging times. Applications are due by 19 April at https:// rural-leaders.org.au/programs/drought-resilience-leaders-program/drought-resilienceleaders-mentor-program/ Anyone with a strong connection to agriculture is encouraged to apply as a mentee or mentor.

Public to have their say in retirement village report The Palaszczuk Government is seeking community feedback on the recommendations of an independent report into timeframes for exit payments in Queensland retirement villages, and the government’s response. Communities and Housing Minister Leeanne Enoch said retirement village residents, operators and stakeholders could have their say and help shape the Queensland Government’s implementation of the recommendations. “It is important to get this right, so we are seeking feedback from those who are engaged with retirement villages in any way, about the benefits, costs and implementation challenges of the recommendations,” she said.

Increased fines for road offences Queensland motorists caught not wearing a seatbelt will now be fined more than $1000 and will lose four demerit points under new changes to a number of traffic offences. It comes as figures reveal almost 50,000 fines were handed out for motorists caught using a mobile phone or not wearing a seatbelt in the past four months with the state government’s new covert cameras. Transport and Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey said the cameras are often moved and targeted at known danger points. He said it was a matter of time before people who are regularly breaking seatbelt and mobile phones rules on the road are caught. “These cameras are anywhere, anytime,” he said. Under new laws from July 1, drivers caught speeding will also be hit with increased fines, with the offence now incurring a penalty of between $287 to $1653.

Roads a ‘hazard’ after recent flooding events By Emily-Rose Toohey The Connecting with Council Meeting in Maryvale last Wednesday encouraged a myriad of topic discussions from locals, including roads in the aftermath of recent flooding. Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) Mayor Vic Pennisi acknowledged that during the last Connecting with Council Meeting in Maryvale, roads were also a big issue and point of discussion. One of the locals attending the meeting said the Whites Road in the area has been an increasing problem. “Although there aren’t many residents who live on that street, there’s three major creek crossings and every time we have large events of rain, the road just gets totally trashed,” the resident said. “The road was only recently resurfaced

before the heavy rain at the beginning of March, which has now been damaged. “It’s a hazard.” SDRC director of engineering said that these are the same problems that arise over and over again. “With road repairs, council spends the same money only to achieve the same outcome,” the director said. “We are trying to do all the works efficiently and to make the roads safe.” Cr Pennisi said that when the region has widespread weather events, issues and instances like Whites Road are not uncommon. “Insurance companies decide what we can and can’t fix,” he said. “The recent abnormal weather conditions are something we can’t control and we’re not used to it – please be patient.”

Locals table park worries By Emily-Rose Toohey

The council meeting in Maryvale prompted locals to raise pressing matters.

Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) held a Connecting with Council meeting in Maryvale on 6 April, and residents discussed concerns about the park opposite the town pub. Maryvale local Pat raised the issue and said children were not allowed to play in it for a number of reasons. SDRC Mayor Vic Pennisi and SDRC CEO Dave Burges said this may be because of a lack of equipment. “Suitable equipment in the park would encourage kids to use it,” Mr Burges said. Cr Pennisi said that in the long run, the kid’s playground will inevitably move to a bigger park. “This is part of the Urban Design Framework (UDF),” he said.

“However, there is no time frame for this so there may be an opportunity to put some equipment in the existing park - it will definitely be a budget consideration.” Nonetheless, a second local said that another reason for the park’s lack of use was not just poor equipment, but the residents beside the park are prone to bad and abusive language. “It’s become a junk yard and is not an appealing place to be,” the resident said. “There’s a fence around the park to keep everybody out.” Cr Pennisi said council will take this on board and consider it alongside the Park’s Optimisation Program. “The program has been getting some pretty good outcomes,” Cr Pennisi said. “We will have those discussions and also discuss this with the UDF going forward.”

Bin expansion remains a major community concern By Emily-Rose Toohey The kerbside waste expansion that officially commenced on 4 April is still a major concern for rural Southern Downs residents due to its cost and a lack of initial community consultation from council. Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) has invited feedback from concerned locals in the wake of these complaints, which has been championed by SDRC Mayor Vic Pennisi. “This waste management strategy decision has been made over many councils,” Cr Pennisi said. “Obviously we didn’t get it right, the engagements we did wasn’t the right one and I acknowledge and take ownership of that.” On the 24 March, a group of Wallangarra residents sent SDRC environmental services manager Darryl Brooks a letter signed by eight property owners in the area regarding the expanded service. The letter said that at no time whatsoever were the residents of the lower end of Paling Yard Road approached or consulted regarding the practicality or the necessity of the Waste and Recycling Bins. “Had the residents been consulted, the SDRC would have saved the cost of delivery of the bins,” the letter said. “All residents of the lower end of Paling Yard are between the ages of 60 and 75 years and the length of the driveways on their properties is considerable. “These two factors render the proposed arrangement impractical and absurd.” The letter continued by stating that none of the residents had a use for the bins and they requested their instant removal. “Residents have absolutely no intention of paying for a service that was never re-

Hotel future up in the air By Emily-Rose Toohey

Residents are still concerned over the kerbside waste expansion. quested and, considering their ages, is unfeasible in every way,” the letter said. An anonymous Stanthorpe local, who will be unnamed for privacy reasons, echoed this letters sentiments in her own letter addressed to council. She said that herself and her partner were against the expansion and believe the service for their property is ridiculous. “It is unfair and unreasonable to impose this service on rural people,” the source said. “We are an elderly couple who manage our waste disposal well - our food scraps are composted, the paper goes to mulch our gardens, and the recycle is taken to the Summit Dump once a month on our way to town.” She said that they did not ask for or want a bin service. “When a survey is done and the majority wants bin collection, then and only then will we pay the cost imposed,” the source said. Nonethless, Cr Pennisi said he will endeavour to ensure this dissatisfaction through a lack of consultation does not happen again “We can’t change the past but we can change the future,” he said.

Yangan locals held a meeting on Sunday to discuss the fate of its hotel-motel, and are now awaiting an evaluation of the property to determine the landmark’s viability. Yangan local Margaret Bateman said the hotel closed down in mid-December of 2021 for a number of reasons, including the effects of Covid-19 related mandates. “We had spoken a bit about it before it closed down because it looked like it was going to not continue under its owner,” Margaret said. As a result, ‘Save the Yangan Pub Project’ was born and inspired the community to action. “The project is quite important to the Yangan community and the people with an association to the village and hotel itself,” she said. Interested parties have been pledging money towards the hotel in order to possibly re-open it, and they have almost hit their $500, 000 goal - Margaret said the next step will be evaluating the premises. “There are a few things that need to be done with the hotel that we can’t initially ignore, like compressor issues in cold room,” she said. Margaret said that the purpose of Sunday’s meeting was to talk interested people through the project, pledges, and discuss the framework for a hotel committee with a board of directors. “If we look at it objectively, everyone’s very passionate and we need to be careful about how much we spend,” Margaret said at the meeting.

Yangan Hotel in 2019. After a few hours of discussion, the group decided upon ten people putting forward $100 each (or more if necessary) to get the evaluation completed, and Margaret said she hopes the results are released sometime after Easter. “People really do care about the Yangan Hotel because there are many families who have longstanding relationships with the village,” she said. “There are people who genuinely have an interest in keeping it vibrant.” As a result, some ideas suggested at Sunday’s meeting included livening the hotel’s appearance and even turning it into a combined sports club. But first, the evaluation results will determine the project’s viability and the next step for Margaret and others involved.

ARK animal of the week Southern Downs ARK has a number of dogs and cats up for adoption. This week we’re highlighting FREDDIE and THEO. Ages: 6 months Adoption fee: $575 for both About Introducing Freddie and Theo, a bonded pair of teenage brothers perfectly suited to life as the darling lap-cats of some lucky person or family. Dog and cat friendly, these two caramel and white medium-haired cuties are classic allrounders. Sweet and affectionate to all they encounter, it took them no time at all to settle into their new home.

· ·

The home they come from cared for them well and as a result, they are both very well socialised. Adorably playful and gentle, they have captured the heart of their foster mum, who calls Freddie ‘angel face’ and Theo ‘cutie pie’. Scrupulously clean, Freddie and Theo are litter-trained and live inside exclusively. If you are interested in meeting these sweeties, we’d love to hear from you. Their joint adoption fee is $575 and they are desexed, vaccinated, microchipped, and flea and worm treated. Freddie and Theo live in Warwick, Queensland. A virtual meet and greet may be offered to approved applicants.

They are both desexed, vaccinated, microchipped, and flea and worm treated. PS: Theo is more white than caramel, and Freddie is more caramel than white. For more information and enquiries, follow the link: https://www.petrescue.com.au/ listings/898195 or email info@southerndownsark.com.au

Travel Writers experience the wonders of our region The Australian Society of Travel Writers (ASTW) were part of a mega-familarisation coordinated in partnership with the Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC), Granite Belt Wine Tourism, and Southern Queensland Country on Friday 25 March. The 2022 familarisation had 25 travel writers, digital and content creators, influencers, and photographers in attendance, who each represented numerous publications and outlets. ASTW president Caroline Gladstone said the purpose of the society and its visit to the Southern Downs was for travel writers part of the group to familiarise themselves with an area in order to improve their writing. “The purpose is to ensure that travel writ-

ing and communication about travel is ethical, and the reporting of destinations is fair and honest,” Caroline said. “ASTW members comprise of people working for newspapers, freelances, digital publishers (bloggers), and photographers - all contributing towards generating travelrelated media. “Before getting into ASTW, people have to be accredited and have a certain amount of published work.” Caroline said the ASTW members were hosted in luxury villas, cozy cabins, and country-styled barns to capture the variety of experiences the region has to offer. “I had a fantastic time, we saw a lot of different things over the two day experience,” she said.

SDRC Mayor Vic Pennisi said that the tour was important as the writers in attendance are the people who influence the minds of travellers. “The coverage that we get from them is Australia-wide and you can’t underestimate the value of a group like that in bringing tourists to the region,” Cr Pennisi said. “This is an opportunity for us to showcase what we have to offer and what’s unique about our region.” Caroline said although this was her first trip to the region, it was the ASTW groups third time with the goal of helping spread the word about the area among potential visitors. “There’s value to a trip like this - we can then go and write about the region from personal experience and hopefully subsequently boost tourism,” she said.

“During the height of Covid, people could only travel inter-state, so a lot of Queenslanders from Brisbane and the Gold Coast came to the Southern Downs and Granite Belt regions and could really explore what was on offer in their own backyard.” Caroline is a freelance journalist and said she is writing a piece about her experience in the region for the Sydney Morning Herald. The tour highlights for ASTW included visiting Glengallan Homestead, Abbey Boutique Hotel, Heritage Estate Wines, Folly Truffles, Jamworks, Washpool Skin Wellness, Bent Road Winery, Vincenzo’s, Nicoletti Orchards, and Whisky Gully Wines. Caroline said some writers travelled from as far as Melbourne and regional NSW to join the coach pick up in Brisbane to the Southern Downs.

Local family’s proud ANZAC history preserved By Emily-Rose Toohey On Monday morning, Warwick’s Cory family relived some of their history in the form of World War I medals and the story of how William Montague ‘Mont’ Cory achieved them over 100 years ago. According to Margot Cory, Mont was her late husband’s uncle and the medals were passed down to him after his older sibling passed away. This history has been preserved and is

now displayed at the Warwick RSL. RSL representative John Telfer said that the veteran had won the Military Cross in 1917 and later the Bar to that Cross in 1918, among other awards in the collection. “It was for his gallantry and outstanding duty in the French Campaign in Belgium,” John said. Margot and David’s son Ben alongside his children Angus and Annie presented John with the medals, the latter on behalf of Warwick RSL president John Skinner.

SDRC notes WIRAC report By Dominique Tassell and Emily-Rose Toohey Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) received the February 2022 monthly report from Brisbane Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) in relation to the operation of the Warwick Indoor Recreation and Aquatic Centre (WIRAC). As part of the requirements of the contract between SDRC and YMCA for the management of WIRAC, there is an obligation that the YMCA supply monthly reports relating to the operations of the facility. Operations for February fell under budget by $1500, with WIRAC budgeting $8657 and spending $7157. The centre also reported the lowest numbers of visitors in the last five years - 10,415

WIRAC’s February report was presented at council. visits in February 2022 compared to February 12,861 last year. WIRAC’s report outlined a need for bathroom upgrades due to mould, moisture, and condensation, ventilation in the bathrooms, and air handling as the blades on the unit

have shattered. Other concerns highlighted in the report included plaster falling off the Aquatic Hall ceiling due to a condensation build up, certain lights in the court area in need of replacing, and plant room and solar system issues. The six week summer reset challenge for members finished on 19 February, with 44 patrons participating in the challenge. A one day sale of $22 for two weeks resulted in 12 new memberships, and 50 per cent off for the first three months of membership resulted in 19 new memberships. Since the opening of the new group fitness room, class numbers have been consistent with an average of at least 18 in attendance The report stated that although learn to swim numbers had increased slightly once

school went back for the year, numbers still remained low compared to previous years. “WIRAC had five staff off with Covid or due to being close contacts during February, which has impacted operations,” the report said. The report also said that YMCA is running a blanket drive. “The blankets collected go to families living below the poverty line, migrants, and the homeless, and to victims fleeing domestic violence,” the report said. Last year, YMCA collected 80 blankets and were able to distribute them to those in need. “We are asking the community for help, so we can increase that number this year and help more families,” the report said. “There is a box in the foyer at reception for people to drop off blankets.”

Funding secured to protect threatened species The future looks much brighter for the critically endangered swift parrot and regent honeyeater. This is because the Quoll Society of Australia Inc. received over $238,000 in funding to enhance their habitat in the Southern Downs. The Stepping Stones in the Southern Downs project, funded by the federal government’s Environmental Restoration Fund, will work with landholders to create a series of wildlife corridors and stepping stones throughout the region. Quoll Society’s Paul Revie said regent honeyeater and swift parrot have all but disappeared from Queensland in recent years, but are still sighted most years in the Southern Downs, driving bird watchers into a frenzy. “With populations numbering in the hundreds rather than the thousands, both of these stunning birds are desperately in need

of our help,” Paul said. The swift parrot breeds in Tasmania in summer before spreading across the mainland in the cooler months, while regent honeyeaters are known to nest in Durikai State Forest, the only regular breeding population in Queensland. Quoll Society’s Jessica Lovegrove-Walsh said that the group will be working with the Southern Downs community. “By working with the community to plant food trees and enhance habitat connectivity, we can ensure that both of these species continue to visit Queensland during their nomadic wanderings,” Jessica said. The project will not only help the swift parrot and regent honeyeater, but will also benefit a range of other threatened species including the koala and the potted-tailed quoll, which is the largest marsupial carni-

vore on the Australian mainland. Wildlife Preservation Society of Queensland project manager Matt Cecil is partnering with the Quoll Society on the project, and he said that the beauty of corridor and stepping stone creation is that the benefits are never limited to just a handful of species. “The project will help a range of other threatened and common species that call the Southern Downs home,” Matt said. Paul said that the Southern Downs is truly a special place. “This project will ensure it remains Queensland’s last stronghold for swift parrots and regent honeyeaters, as well as being the spotted-tailed quoll capital of the state,” he said. Moreover, Jessica Lovegrove-Walsh said that through the society’s revegetation ac-

tivities, they are not only benefiting flora and fauna. “We’re also creating cleaner waterways, reducing erosion, and increasing the productivity and profitability of agricultural properties,” she said. The Quoll Society of Australia Inc is researching and protecting spotted-tailed quolls in Queensland and New South Wales. Their main aim is to build partnerships with landholders and local community groups to ensure a landscape that balances fauna conservation with other uses. Through their research and conservation work, they aim to make the Southern Downs a model of how agricultural production and biodiversity conservation can co-exist in the same landscape.

Sign me up for Auslan Day It is the 13 April 1989, and the first Auslan (Australian Sign Language) dictionary has just been published. This publication officially gives the Australian Deaf community a name for their language. Two years later in 1991, Auslan is recognised as a community language in Australia – officially giving voice to those who did not have one before. It is now on the 13 April each year that we celebrate Auslan, to proudly promote it as our native and preferred language for Deaf and non-verbal people, as well as recognising the culture and history of the Deaf community. With roots stretching back over 200 years when English, Irish and Scottish immigrants came to Australia with their own sign language, Auslan over time has developed its own unique traits, and just like other languages, continues to evolve as the Australian Deaf and Hearing Impaired community grows. You may have seen Mikey Webb on the TV

translating the daily Covid briefings provided by the state government. Providing live translations into Auslan has been a game-changer for those who rely on this language to communicate. But have you ever stopped to think - how does it all work? Auslan is a combination of 38 hand shapes

with 28 variations, the orientation (the direction of the palm in relation to the body), the location of signing in relation to the rest of the body, the amount of movement of hands, arms and the head, and last but very importantly facial expressions are used to convey emotion and emphasis. These all combined make for an animated display. It’s informative, it’s lively and it’s a little bit fun. As the name implies, Auslan is uniquely Australian. Just as other countries have their own spoken language, they also have their own sign language systems. At last count there was over 130 different sign languages in use worldwide. That said, Auslan is very similar to British Sign Language (BSL) to the point that Auslan can be easily understood by BSL users and viceversa. Auslan is spreading to so many areas of life and culture. Granite Belt Support Services (GBSS) has it’s very own Auslan Choir. For those who aren’t familiar with the Auslan

Choir, it gives everyone the opportunity to take part and express themselves in the universal language of music. It’s for everyone – those who can hear, those who cannot, those who can speak, those who do not. You don’t even need to be able to hold a tune! It’s also an excellent way for the uninitiated to learn some Auslan, have a great time, and meet new people from diverse backgrounds. From taking part in the national busking championships, performing small concerts in the art gallery, to taking the main stage at the Christmas carols, the GBSS Auslan Choir is so very proud to perform, delighting both young and old. Keep an eye out for them at community events – they’re very good. For more information on Auslan including access to the Auslan sign bank (dictionary), please visit auslan.org.au, and don’t forget to check out Granite Belt Support Services on facebook.

Autumn Race Day galloping ahead at Ballandean Ballandean Estate is preparing to host The Rotary Club of Stanthorpe’s Autumn Race Day on Sunday, 1 May, 2022. The charity fundraiser, held out in the vineyard, features a long lunch from The Barrelroom, fashions on the field, raffles, lucky door prizes, and alternative races on the big screen. Event ambassador and local rotarian Leeanne Puglisi-Gangemi said that last year’s inaugural charity fundraiser was a runaway success. “Over 150 punters joined us for a great day out amongst the vines, from as far afield as Noosa, Brisbane and the Gold

Coast,” Leeanne said. “Opera in the Vineyard raised over $1 million for charity in partnership with The Rotary Club of Stanthorpe, and after 27 brilliant events, we shook up the format so that this premier experience could be enjoyed by all.” Leeanne said that 2022’s inaugural race day will combine the thrill and glamour of racing with raising funds for rotary charities. “This year’s punters can expect a party atmosphere, gambling for a good cause, some fantastic prizes up for grabs, a three-course luscious lunch from The Barrelroom, and the chance to sample some of Queensland’s fin-

est wines,” she said. “It’s your chance to win weekend getaways from Sancerre Estate and Just Red Wines, luxe dining experiences, soon-to-berevealed prizes from Argyle diamond specialist Stanthorpe Jewellers, cases of fine wine, Lirah Vinegar and Suttons Juice Factory hampers, and last be not least, an exclusive Ballandean Estate pop-up tasting at home with ten lucky friends.” Autumn Race Day is on Sunday 1 May 2022 at Ballandean Estate Wines, 354 Sundown Road Ballandean, from 11.30am until 5.30pm.

Funds raised at the event will be distributed to rotary charities. Tickets cost $130 per person and include a three-course lunch from The Barrelroom, a glass of sparkling, and $4000 in ‘funny money’ to bet on the races and to bid for the major prizes auction. General admission tickets to the paddock cost $50 and give guests the glass of sparkling and ‘funny money’. A shuttle bus will be running from Stanthorpe town centre for a $20 return.

Cenotaph’s hidden history The WWI cannons were all marked with the Royal Seal of Kaiser Willem II and the seal can still be clearly seen on the cannon at the Cenotaph. When the 26th Battalion captured the cannon, it had one broken wheel so the men of the unit found a similar wheel on a destroyed cannon and fitted it to the one now in Warwick. Somewhere during its life in Warwick, one of the wheels was removed and replaced with a matching wheel and no-one can tell me if it was the original wheel or the replacement wheel. The cannon was shipped to Australia with thousands of other war trophies and placed in storage while decisions were made as to where

By John Skinner While most long-term Warwick residents have heard a little of the history of the Krupp Cannon in the Cenotaph precinct, others have no knowledge of how it came to be where it is. The cannon saw service with the German military during World War I and was in the Somme Valley in France when captured by the Australian 26th Infantry Battalion. Krupp Engineering, which still exists in Germany today, is a large engineering company which manufactured many of the artillery pieces used by their country during both WWI and WWII.

these different items would be placed. Warwick was nominated to have the Krupp Cannon and the smaller trench mortar which sits beside its larger ‘mate’ near the Cenotaph, for which I can find no history. In 1922, both war trophies were consigned to South Brisbane and left in the railway yard there. Apparently no funding was available to transport any of these trophies to their country destinations. Following several debates on the cost of transportation, Warwick’s then Mayor, R.E. Gillam, had the council pay the freight and the cannon and trench mortar eventually arrived in Warwick.

Two articles in the local paper of the time described how the cannon was towed by truck along the then gravel King and Palmerin streets to the quoits court where they remain until this day. The foundation stone of the Cenotaph was laid in June 1923 and was completed in December the same year which allowed the cannon and the trench mortar to be placed in position as a reminder of the lives lost and the futility of war.

New Qld road safety strategy aims to halve deaths The Palaszczuk Government released its 10-year road safety strategy on Monday outlining the approach to saving lives on Queensland Roads, which includes raising some fines. Transport and Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey said the Queensland Road Safety Strategy 2022-31 was aimed at reducing the number of lives lost on our roads. “We’ve had a tragic start to the year, with 81 lives lost on Queensland roads already – that’s 81 people who are missing from dinner tables around the state,” Mr Bailey said. “We are reaffirming our commitment to zero road deaths and serious injuries by 2050 by cracking down on driver behaviour. “The strategy’s action plan also delivers new penalties for speeding, running a red light, and seatbelt offences, starting 1 July 2022.” He said that running a red-light will more than $550 and drivers will continue to receive

three demerit points for this offence. “Penalties for seatbelt offences will also see a significant increase to more than $1000, as well as increasing the demerit point penalty from three to four,” Mr Bailey said. “In the first four months of our new seatbelt detection cameras going live, almost 14,000 seatbelt offences were recorded.” Mr Bailey said that the government makes no apologies for being tough on this reckless and dangerous behaviour, similar to the crack-downs on mobile phone offences. “The message is simple: if you don’t want one of these fines, do the right thing on our roads. This year alone, we have over $1.7 billion invested in road safety initiatives to prioritise road safety upgrades, improve driver education, make school zones safer, and develop policies to reduce road crashes and trauma,” he said. “In 2021, almost a quarter of lives lost on the road involved motorcyclists, which is

something we don’t want to see repeated this year. “Our Ride to Zero campaign will be rolled out in collaboration with motorcycle groups and organisations that actively contribute to the development and implementation of community-led rider safety. “Regional communities disproportionately shoulder the burden of lives lost, with over half of all road fatalities occurring on rural roads, which is why we will develop resources specifically targeting regional and rural road safety.” Mr Bailey said the penalty for not wearing a seatbelt or not wearing it properly would now align with the mobile phone penalty. “Speeding, red-light, and seatbelt offending are major contributors to a high level of road trauma,” he said. “Speeding penalties will be increased to send a clear message that speeding, regardless of the level, is dangerous and will not be

tolerated.” Mr Bailey said the Palaszczuk Government remained committed to continued investment in foundational road safety measures, including infrastructure improvements and treatments, deterrents and enforcement. “The Queensland road network and the communities it connects are vast and diverse, which is why we need to do more to get the road safety message across,” he said. “That’s why the strategy has a strong community focus, championing grassroots initiatives.” Mr Bailey said the strategy would be delivered in three phases across 10 years, with each phase supported by an action plan. The first of these is the Queensland Road Safety Action Plan 2022-24. “This action plan is focused on initiating change, with 20 practical actions to improve road safety outcomes and set the foundations for future initiatives,” he said.

Werewolves anonymous By Rose City Writers Reluctantly he handed over the key. He hated giving up control of his locking restraining collar, even to his driver, but it was one of the rules of the meeting. Lightning split the foreboding clouds in the sky, thunder rolled a long disheartening groan with sharp cracks intermixed, and rain pelted the long trench-coat that hung loosely over its wearer’s thin frame. It was the kind of night that was made for horror stories, and the kind of night that reminded some people of the horror they had become. The trench-coat and its wearer approached the door of the rundown looking, old schoolhouse. A gentle push on the thick, wooden door was rewarded with a high-pitched screech of its hinges as it swung slowly out of the way. The hall was dark, as if the very building was helping to hide the shame and identity of all of the gatherers of the evening. A single light, emanating from a small conference room down the hall was the only brightness in the otherwise dark and shadowy hall. Slowly the trench-coat and its owner trudged down the hall and reluctantly entered the room. The coat was then shed and hung on an ancient style coatrack and dripped onto the floor, its water joining the puddle created by a dozen or so other coats just like it. The man that had just shed his coat then reluctantly plopped down onto one of the cheap metal seats arrange in a circle just for this gathering. A single man, looming large and dark, sat in the centre of the circle upon a stool which spun to greet the new arrival. “As you were late to arrive,” The man grumbled with a heavy sigh. “Why don’t you begin for us.” The new arrival nodded and slowly raised up to his feet.

“Hello everyone,” The man began, his pale face reflecting too much light making his already heavy eyes seem dark and sad. “I’m Louis, and it’s been fourteen days since I chased my own tail.” “Hello Louis.” The group echoed back at him. Some even giving him a bit of scattered applause. “It’s just so hard,” Louis admitted as he let his eyes travel around the room, taking in each attendee. “I try, but when the moon is full and I’m feeling a little wild, I just let go. Turning those tight circles in the garage just feels so liberating.” Nods were returned from several members of the group, including at least two people that seemed to be midway in transition between wolf and human. “I know man.” One of the mid transition wolves returned. “I mean, I’ll be doing fine, not even thinking about my condition and then some kid down the street will throw a ball… I just want to fetch it man. I’ve had to move twelve times in the past two years because I just can’t keep myself from chasing it.” “Oh, and don’t forget about the cars.” A petite young lady across from Louis threw in. “It’s bad enough on a normal day when they roar by beckoning you to chase them. But when the moon is full, and we can’t control the change? It’s even worse. I’ve caught six now and I don’t know what to do with them.” “It wasn’t like that in the old days.” Theo, a man of some five-hundred-years threw in. “Chasing horses and carriages was kind of expected for wolves and dogs. But not these motorized abominations. Chase one of those and you’re labelled a nuisance.” Murmurs of agreement emanated from around the room. “I’ve got two neighbours that know my secret,” Louis continued. “They’re great about it, really accepting and haven’t told anyone else, but they still bust my chops from time to

time and it gets irritating.” “I know the feeling.” Theo nodded. “I’ve got a few friends that are initiated. Still, they never quite let you forget. ‘Hey Theo, did you do this on my lawn?’ ‘Hey Theo, is it time for a new collar?’ Ahhh, sometimes I wish I could just eat them and be done with it.” “Now, now.” The man on the stool chastised. “We haven’t eaten anyone, and haven’t had a confirmed kill, in over eighty years. We’ve grown past that.” “That’s not exactly true.” The petite woman admitted sheepishly, garnering shocked looks from everyone around the room. “Sylvia? Would you like to elaborate on that?” “It wasn’t really my fault.” She protested as some gave her harsh stares. “This guy broke into my place during a full moon.” Groans echoed from nearly everyone as they could only imagine what would have happened had they encountered a similar circumstance. “I didn’t want to, but I couldn’t control myself.” She pleaded with the group to understand, which they all did. “You know what its like during a change you can’t control. You lose yourself. But Oh My God, did sinking my claws into that punk’s skin feel good. Don’t even get me started on how sensational his blood tasted. The ecstasy of rolling around in his life juices was just…just heavenly.” Even now Sylvia’s eyes closed as her hand ran over her neck at the memory of killing her first victim in over a century. Many other members of the group smacked their lips at the thought of committing the same sin Sylvia had. Breaths became loud and quick, eyes glazed over, and blood boiled. Control was maintained, but it was a tenuous thing. “What happened after?” The group leader knew what the answer would be, but he knew it was imperative that he regain full control and remind those on the edge the consequences of such relapses. “I had to call my Werewolf Protection Program case manager.” She looked down at the floor ashamed. “They had to send a clean-up team, bring me in and debrief me, and evaluate my situation. It took forever and I always feel dirty after dealing with them. Almost as if they make me feel ashamed about my condition. Fortunately, they considered my circumstances and marked the killing as justified.” Sighs of relief were uttered from around the room. There were several categories of killing when it came to werewolves. Justified was the best, it meant that even killing the person by normal means would have been understandable. Defence of life and property, self-defence, or to protect someone else are all justified killings. The worst category is Intentional Killing. Cases like that would include anyone who

planned to kill someone, put themselves in a position where a killing was likely, or didn’t take precautions to prevent a killing when a full moon was likely to trigger an uncontrolled change. Those found guilty of Intentional Killings were put down with extreme prejudice. Louis shuddered a bit as he heard Sylvia’s story. He himself hadn’t killed anyone, outside of government service, since the late 1200s. Not that there weren’t times that he missed it immensely. Fortunately, the government often found ways to use his somewhat unique condition and kept him satiated with the occasional kill. Louis then couldn’t help but look at the other werewolves in the room and wonder if any of them belonged to the same black ops program he did. It turns out that having a nearly immortal killing machine on the payroll worked out well for the government’s more covert programs. Which was something that made him wonder if anyone else here occasionally sank their teeth into human flesh for the ‘greater good’ whatever that might be. “Louis,” The man on the stool brought him out of his musings. “Do you have anything else to add?” Louis realized that he was still standing after giving his introduction and story. He had simply forgotten to sit down. “No.” He replied flatly. “No, I’m good.” “Does anyone else have anything they would like to add?” The man inquired as he looked around the room. Murmurs and shrugs were the only responses he received and so he decided to stand up and call the meeting to a close. “Okay then.” He picked up his notes and coffee cup. “I guess we need to clear out of here. The Vampire meeting begins in half an hour, and you know how those people are.” Groans, murmurs, and laughter filled the room as everyone envisioned the arrival of the vampires that never really got along with the werewolf community in general. Not that there was anything other than Hollywood movies to inspire the bad blood between them, but evidently that was enough. “Alright, same time next week and hopefully the weather improves.” At that the group shuffled toward the door, coats were donned, a little small talk was concluded and the meeting of Werewolves anonymous officially came to an end. “Back out into the liquid sunshine again, eh?” Sylvia mumbled to Louis as he stood in the doorway looking out at the still pouring rain. “At least it’s not a full moon.” He smiled. “I hate getting my fur wet and smelling like a wet dog for days.” They both laughed at that. They then departed their separate ways and disappeared into the night.

The Guide PICK OF THE WEEK MASTERCHEF AUSTRALIA 10, Monday, 7.30pm

Combining the winning ingredients of 2020’s Back to Win with the classic MasterChef recipe, this Fans & Favourites season is set to satisfy even the fussiest diner. For the hit show’s 14th iteration, 12 past contestants and fan favourites – among them series winners Julie Goodwin, Sashi Cheliah and Billie McKay – will be challenged by 12 fresh-faced foodies, including a TikTok star, a dentist, a firefighter and a banking analyst. The fancy fare served up on the series has evolved considerably since inaugural winner Goodwin lifted the trophy in 2009 – how will her classic cuisine measure up against a new generation of chefs for whom cooking with hibachi grills, sous vide and liquid nitrogen is second nature?

Power, money and privilege. Oh, and a beautiful white mansion sitting gloriously atop seaside cliffs. Sometimes, you just need one element to grab your attention, and you can forgive the other distractions. Such is the case in this over-the-top thriller slash mystery slash whodunnit: the setting in a rugged, Irish seaside town is just as stormy and unpredictable as its characters. Enter the lives of the dysfunctional Ahern clan and their matriarch Val (Dervla Kirwan, pictured), if location is your thing. This week, when Val finds “liar” written in lipstick on her mirror, she wisely believes someone is after her.

If you like your crusty bread with a side of wayward bullets, this devilish food doco series might be right up your alley. Premiering tonight, each one-hour episode delves into a true story intersecting an American city’s renowned cuisine with the underbelly of the crime world. The deliciously dark series is narrated by Two and a Half Men’s Jon Cryer (pictured), and includes such tantalisingly titled episodes as “The Codfather” and “The Fast Food Killer”. This week, in “A Slice of Pie”, there’s a fine line between cooks and criminals. When a pizzeria’s secret family recipe is stolen, the mafia serves up some time-honoured retribution.

Any building project undertaken over the last few years has surely felt like a Grand Designs episode for the homeowners behind the plans, with time and cost blowouts aplenty. However, they pale in comparison when it comes to the Huxham Shard House, an ambitious and futuristic art installation of a home overlooking a picturesque valley in South Devon. Inspired by rocks that feature in the local countryside, property developer Joe and his wife Claire are building a residence with 34 enormous, angled zinc shards jutting out in all directions. The mind-boggling delays and budget woes even surprise veteran host Kevin McCloud (pictured).

Back for seconds: MasterChef Australia’s first-ever winner Julie Goodwin returns to compete against a new generation of foodies.

This week on the farm By Judy Barnet, Ag Columnist After spending a couple of days down and out with a tummy bug there was a lot to catch up on over the weekend. There were calves to dehorn, sheep to video, cottage guests and campers. Mowing and gardening were high on the list of priorities but what my mind wanted to do the poor recovering body was not so keen. CJ took care of the mowing so that was one job off the list. Then Delilah cow decided to jump over the fence into the garden yet again so Richie was called in to do some temporary heightening of the fence. She is a bit of a rogue that Delilah! Dehorning the calves which were now six month old steers had been put off way too long but the dastardly deed had to be done. It was finally done, quickly with the least stress possible, but I don’t think they will ever forgive me. If I get any more calves it will be done as soon as I get them, under a week old. I bought a new phone as the videos I had taken of the sale sheep on my old phone were not good quality at all – they were really crappy. It took half a day to do the new videos but the effort was well worth the effort. Finally, the sale preparation was finished and sent off to AuctionsPlus where the sale information is now online. I had a quick bite of lunch, a ten minute nana nap, and then it was a last minute race against the storm to clean up an area up the top of the property for campers coming tomorrow. There was the usual problem of things breaking, in this case the wheel on the slasher had broken off, but the job had to be done so it was unceremoniously dragged all the way up there anyway. I was on the whipper snipper and my heavy duty Honda mower that never lets me down. We actually have around thirty mowers in various states of repair but this one I bought just for myself! It was just on dark when we finished but the site looked amazing. The campers have now arrived and were over the moon about the site. They commented that our place was unique in that most

Last bloom before winter. places they have camped have a few sites and you are never truly alone, but we only allow one group of people at a time. Way up on top of the hill with it’s own access, the site is very private and you are not likely to see anything other than beautiful sunsets, deer, wallabies and the large expanse of Glenlyon Dam to the east. I am thrilled to say that I am off to Stanthorpe Show in a couple of weeks. I will be wearing my Rare Breeds hat and will take a dozen or so sheep of different breeds for people to look at, so pop in and see me if you go to the show. I have my photos ready to enter and may even have some veges from the garden. It won’t be broccoli – that much I know! It has been reduced to skeletons by the white moths, I guess. I haven’t had time to do any gardening for a while. I think CJ might be working on something horticultural as well. Richie and I

will camp out at the show Friday and Saturday night so we can keep an eye on the sheep. I think I have previously mentioned that I am a huge supporter of the country shows. They play a big part in showcasing agriculture and bringing farmers and town people together. They are also a great place to showcase rare breeds. They teach our children not only about agriculture but also through entering competitions, be it cooking, photography or other creative arts, gives them learning skills and tools and inspiration for hobbies and careers. Shows are good community events on so many levels. I do hear people saying, “There’s not much to see at the shows anymore.” Well then, do something about it. Enter something yourself – the shows are what the community makes them. If you have ideas then take them along to your local show committee, they are a great bunch of generous people. Become a member. Donate $5 of prize money to a section you enjoy looking at. On 19 April Dr Catie Gressier, a fellow Director of the RBTA, is coming to visit for a few days. Catie hails from Perth and is an Australian Research Council (DECRA) Fellow in the Anthropology and Sociology discipline group. Her DECRA project examines rare and heritage breed livestock conservation and agroecological farming in Australia in the climate change era. With a regional focus on Australia and southern Africa, Catie’s research explores how the cultural values and practices of settler communities influence, and are influenced by, the particularities of their social and natural environments. She has published on issues including foodways, interspecies relations, tourism, identity and belonging, and health and illness. She also has a keen interest in student support at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. As well as being a Director of the Rare Breeds Trust of Australia, Catie is the co-ordinator of the Ecology, People, Place (EcoPeoPle) network, and an Editorial Board member of Anthropological Forum. She is a former University of Melbourne McArthur Fellow and gained her PhD in anthropology from the University of Western Australia. She has two PHD students working with her on her current Rare Breeds Project. I am looking forward to showing Catie around Stanthorpe and our farm. I have included a photo of two book pines in

our house yard. These book pines are around fifty years old, however, they do impede our view of Glenlyon Dam being planted just down from the verandah. I would love readers thoughts on whether or not I should remove these trees. They do attract the king parrots in November but I am not sure if they are a safe haven for other birds. Finally, some exciting news. We are this weekend getting three aged mini ponies from our friend’s rescue centre, Mane Matters. The ponies will live out their retirement at our farm. We were honoured that Erin has chosen us to care for these special ponies. I look forward to sharing some photos with you next week. The Sebastapol by Cathy Newton Sebastopol - At Risk - 341 Adults Reported The Sebastopol, one of the oldest domestic varieties of geese, is reputed to have come originally from Turkey and the vicinity of the Black Sea, is bred both for ornament because of its odd and beautiful appearance, and also for its economic qualities being prolific, hardy, and excellent for the table. Gander and goose are similar except that the goose is somewhat smaller. The Sebastopol is descended from the European Greylag goose. It was first exhibited in England in 1860 under the name ‘Sebastopol goose’. They were also referred to as Danubian geese; a name first used for the breed in Ireland in 1863.’Danubian’ was used as a synonym in the 19th century; and only given precedence by Edward Brown after the turn of the 19th century. The Sebastopol is a medium-sized goose with long, white curly feathers. The feathers of the neck are smooth. Feathers on the breast may be curly (frizzle) or smooth. The gander weighs 12-14 lbs while the goose weighs 10-12 lbs. The legs and shanks are orange and the eyes bright blue. On average, females produce 25-35 eggs per year. Though domesticated breeds of geese generally retain some flight ability, Sebastopols cannot fly well due to the curliness of their feathers and have difficulty getting off the ground. In German, they are called Lockengans or Struppgans, meaning “curl-goose” and “unkempt goose”. http://openpoultrystandards.com/Sebastopol

Drought resilience funding The eight Drought Resilience Adoption and Innovation Hubs will receive an extra $4 million to work together on projects that will build drought resilience on a regional and national scale. Minister for Agriculture and Northern Australia David Littleproud said the funding, delivered under the $5 billion Future Drought Fund, would drive regional collaboration and national drought resilience. “No one better understands the impact of drought than the local industries and communities with lived experience,” Mr Littleproud said. “This funding will support researchers, farmers, and rural communities from hub regions to work together and address common goals as they build local and national drought resilience.” The Budget allocated an additional $94.5 million for activities to improve the drought readiness and resilience of Australian farmers and communities.

The yarding was mainly made up of lambs on the lighter side, mainly stores and lambs showing the effects of the wet weather. Good ewe lambs were keenly sought after as well as good processing lambs. The smaller numbers limited the export processors participation. Re-stockers and feed on buyers kept the market firm. Lambs topped at $215 to average $170.02($7down), hoggets topped at $188 to average $184($16up), ewes topped at $175 to average $86.99 ($42down), wethers topped at $180 to average $133.22 ($30down), lamb rams topped at $185 to average $133.38 (Par), the total yarding of 664 head averaged $160.23 a drop of $5/ head week on week.

The pioneer spirit was still much alive in 1920, when the Soldier Settlement was commenced. A temporary home created by Mr. and Mrs. Jack Archer.

1893: Seeds were sown Shows have been a prominent part of Stanthorpe’s history, thus 1893 will be a continuation of 1892. The following is an excerpt from ‘They Came to a Plateau’ by JEAN HARSLETT and MERVYN ROYLE. Chapter: Mighty Oaks out of Little Acorns Grow Small shows had been held in the Good Templars Hall and Groom’s Hotel since 1873, including mineral, fruit and vegetable displays. On 15th October 1875, the “Border Post” speaks of a suggested Agricultural and Horticultural Association being formed with the main aim of encouraging permanent agricultural settlement in the district. The Editorial records “Wheat and oats sown a few months ago are doing well, barley and lucerne have been planted many months past. We have the assurance of of experienced vigenors, that as wine growing soil the land is unsurpassed, as well as for the cultivation of deciduous fruits of all kinds which we already have occular demonstration. Vegetables are of finest quality, white-heart cabbages 10 lbs to 14 lbs in weight and potatoes 1 lb each, are common occurrences. These are tangible grounds for the assumption of a new industry will develop with encouragement. The encouragement is the societies desire.” Following a second meeting on the 28th October, a third was held on 8th November 1875, firmly establishing the Society as “The Border Agricultural, Horticultural and Mining Society”. The meeting was held at Mrs. Farrell’s Hotel, and the permanently established committee elected.

Stanthorpe back in 1894 The following is an excerpt from the 10 October, 1894, from the Warwick Examiner and Times. Shearing in the Stanthorpe district Shearing is now general in this district (says the Border Post) and will shortly commence. The shearers from Glenlyon will probably go to Ballandean. Do not postpone your visit to Madame Reprah, you may be crowded out, as many were on her last visit. Funding for digitisation contributed by State Library of Queensland. The following is an excerpt from ‘They Came to a Plateau’ by Jean Harslett and Mervyn Royle. Communication in the late 1800s 1881: The construction of the new Southern Border Railway Line, employing 900 people, creating the establishment of a post office at Dalveen. Mr J. S. Kingsford, fulfilled the dual task of post and station master. He gave 19 years of service in this capacity, followed by Mr D. McInnes who also had a long term of service. There were two mail services emanating, in the same year, from Dalveen, one to the Pikedale Road and school house, 6 times a week. It became the Dalveen-Mountside service in 1883. Mail was also dispatched north by rail in 1881, instead of by coach. 1882: Kyoomba established a Post Office with Mr W. Spiller in charge. 1885: Wallangarra Post Office was opened, coinciding with the rail border link, and the same year the Stanthorpe-Ballandean mail coach service was extended. The latter was instituted, because of angry protests by railway construction workers, who had to “traverse rough indecent roads to Fletcher’s” for mail, the only other point where they could receive mail being Stanthorpe. However, as was want to happen their appeal was answered rather too late to be of much help. 1887: On 14th February, the first mail was forwarded by train from Stanthorpe to Wallangarra. 1890: Mountside Post Office was established and Mrs E. McLucas installed as postmistress. 1896-97: Private mail-boxes were introduced in Stanthorpe, but only two people took advantage of them.

Cob and Co Mail coaches arrive at Groom’s Hotel, Stanthorpe.

In 1885, the new Post Office was erected, but was subsequently moved.

OBITUARY WarwickStanthorpeToday.com.au

Vale, Donald ‘Don’ Patrick Stewart By John Telfer Donald Patrick Stewart, 10 June 1940 - 17 March 2022 “THE LOCKHEED LEGEND” On Thursday 24th March 2022, a large gathering of the Stewart family and many of his friends saw the last flight of the RAAF’s (Royal Australian Air Force) “Lockheed Legend”, a sobriquet given to him by his many colleagues who flew with him during the Vietnam war. Here is a tribute to Donald Patrick Stewart, a local lad and a great Australian, who survived the Vietnam war and was farewelled with a military funeral at the Warwick cemetery. Donald “Don” Stewart was born at the Queensland country town of Dirranbandi on the 10th June 1940, the youngest in a family of four children to Clyde and Myra Stewart that included sisters Shirly and Shelia, and brother Peter. Don’s father ran the local cinema in Dirranbandi before the family moved to the small town of Allora on the Darling Downs to operate the cinema there. Don and his siblings received their education at the small St. Patrick’s Convent School in Allora, with Don passing the State Scholarship examination in 1945 before attending Downlands College in Toowoomba where he finished his year 10 intermediate certificate two years later. Soon after, Don, who always had an ambition to fly, joined the Royal Australian Air Force on 19th August 1957 with his parent’s written permission, almost after completing his year 10 to be trained as a radio technician. After initial training at the RAAF School of

Radio in Ballarat, he served at RAAF bases at Womera and Amberley. Still having a burning ambition to fly but lacking the necessary education to be trained as a pilot, Don bided his time and was later accepted to undertake a Signaller’s course, which he successfully passed, and was posted to No 10 Squadron at Townsville in October 1962 as a crew member on Neptune maritime aircraft doing coastal surveillance in Australia’s north. This did not deter Don from his ambition to be a pilot as he said: “After my first trip to Vietnam, I got sick of sitting down the back of the aircraft, I would rather be flying the thing.” So, after logging over 2,000 hours in a Neptune bomber as a Signaller and also gaining a commission, it gave him the qualification to apply for pilot training. In the meantime, Don went home to Allora for Christmas leave in 1963 and met a young, attractive girl named Dalmay at a dance. After a courtship of only a few months, they were married in St. Patricks Church at Allora in September 1964. They had three children in Donna, Michael and Paul. In October 1967, Don got his wish and began training at No 1 Basic Flying School at Point Cook in Victoria, and finally graduated as a pilot at the Advance Flying Training School in Perth West Australia on the 15th July 1968. Don’s next posting was to No 36 Squadron at Richmond to undertake training in the new C130 Lockheed Hercules transport aircraft. It was here that Don gained the nickname of “The Lockheed Legend” while flying in and

out of hostile environments in Vietnam and other South East countries, often briefed by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) as to what dangers to avoid. He did this until 1972, before being posted to ground duties at RAAF Academy Point Cook until 13th January 1975 for a short break, before once again resuming pilot duties with No 37 Squadron until 1979, and was promoted to Squadron Leader. After further postings to ground duties at RAAF Bases Glenbrook and Richmond from 1980 to 1983, the family moved to Hobartville until Don decided to take his discharge from the RAAF at Richmond on 18th January 1984. Now in civilian life, Don took up a position after discharge from the RAAF with Qantas as a Chief Simulator Instructor, but with not much flying. Homesick for Queensland, he and Dell then decided to move back to Warwick which was closer to their home town of Allora, where their life journey began. Don’s last words on his career in the Air Force was, “I loved the RAAF; some days I wish I could go back and do it all again”. Don and Dell lived in quite retirement in Warwick with Don joining the Southern Downs Ex-Services Association where he served time as Treasurer, before illness forced him to give that up. From 2001, when Don developed Parkinson’s disease, he fought the condition courageously for years until 2019, when he became a full care patient at Regency Park Respite Care attended by Dell until he finally passed on. Don Stewart never gave up and even in his final two weeks, kept fighting.

He was well attended by Dell and his family and was given a beautiful funeral at the Warwick cemetery. Don was a true legend, not only in the air force but to his loving family. Fly high old friend, I am sure a squadron of angels will meet you and escort you into the pearly gates. Perhaps this obituary could finally end with these endearing words dedicated to Don when it said: “The whole earth is the sepulchre of heroes. Monuments may rise and tablets be set up to them, but on far off shores there is an abiding Monument that no pen or chisel has traced. It is graven not in stone or brass, but on the living heart of humanity. Wherefore I will not condole with the parents and relatives of our Illustrious dead. I will rather bid them lift up their hearts.” (Pericles, in his oration to the Athenians slain in battle)

Croquet day By Emily-Rose Toohey Warwick Croquet Club held its open day on Saturday between 10am and 2pm. Warwick Croquet Club president Beth Schottelius said that although several people turned up and she considered the day successful, players had to compete with the Ulysses Motorcycle Club’s grand parade. “The open day went well, but parking was difficult,” Beth said. “All the motorbikes were outside in the

street so some people had to park far away to get to us.” The club’s open day was designed so interested locals could experience playing the challenging, traditional grass sport. Beth said that all equipment was provided and club members were on hand to offer support and advice. “It was great to see,” she said. Warwick Croquet Club is located in Leslie Park near the corner of Guy and Albert Streets.

Poem: Shipwrecked A poem by Fleur Lind, Rose City Writers Too much bubbly, bitchy words, and the angry sea The elegant yacht wobbled about A non-swimmer, I was nervous This posh cruise was filling with doubt. I’d won it on the radio 9 th caller through wins a cruise On a privately owned, streamlined yacht I’m not a boatie, but what’s to lose? It all started off convivially The passengers mingled with crew The blue sky above, no sign of a cloud But how little we knew. The raging storm wasn’t predicted It won’t affect us, so the weatherman said This weather event was going south as I listened to the radio in bed. So, we all ambled along the gangplank With our bags and cameras and stuff Enough for a day on the water The free bubbly, there was more than enough. I think that’s what made the mood messy Some couples had more than their fill They got slurry and argumentative Picked fights against people’s will. Only the captain noticed The big black mass forming above From a clear blue sky came darkness The air cooled; I should have bought gloves. “Where the hell did that come from?!” The captain said under his breath As the waves chopped up, with a strong wind The crew worried from below the deck. Down in the Galley, plates were smashing The chef was losing his ‘chill’ Nothing was still as the storm raged Appetites had dwindled to nil. The waves were as high as a building

My Sunday at St Paul’s By Jeremy Lister

The luxury boat tossed about It was a 20-footer, but looked like a toy one It was no match for the storm’s clout. The captain cried, “get out the life jackets I can’t hold our course in this storm!” What had started out as a pleasure cruise Had darkened, we were feeling forlorn. We each grabbed a jacket and strapped in With green faces, anxiety high Was this how we’d end our story On turbulent seas and an angry sky? The vessel, half out of the water, Waves crashing like cannons on top The crew were engaging the life rafts While willing the storm to stop. But it raged away with a vengeance The vessel started to break I was praying to anyone listening This cruise was one big mistake. Miraculously, we boarded the life raft The head count was true and correct We hung on tight with our knuckles white Teeth clenched, bodies cold and wet. Time seemed to go very slowly, As we rocked about on the sea Would we get to the shore safely?

Wherever, and how far away that might be. Our beacon was flashing brightly I wondered if anyone knew We were out in a storm, not safe and warm How I longed for a sky of blue. With an almighty lunge we landed Our life raft had found some sand It was truly miraculous, totally fabulous To have our feet on dry land. I kissed the ground we stood on We were so relieved to be saved. The captain cried, relieved no one had died He commended his crew, so brave. The beacon worked its magic, We would be rescued later that day It was with dewy eyes and a glad heart We heard the captain say. This all started with 9th caller through I think I’ll think again If I hear of a prize on the radio Next time I will refrain. Who would have known? Be in it to win it, they said Some other mug can be 9th caller through I’m staying home instead!

On Sunday I went to the St Paul’s book sale in Stanthorpe just like I was planning to for weeks. I love reading books and the best place to get books on political and military history is at these kinds of book sales or at second hand bookshops. I’m mostly interested in World War One and World War Two history so it doesn’t matter if the books are old because the history in them is old anyway. As usual there were more books there than I could look at all at once, but I got some on the kinds of things I’m interested in. The books were only $2 each too so that was great. The picture is of me and Mrs Warren who got me to write about the book sale a few weeks ago to let everyone know that it was on. And this time Mrs Warren asked me to say that they are donating all of the remaining books to the Lismore Library because they got flooded recently and all of their books got destroyed. There must be thousands of books there so the Lismore Library is getting a good start after their big flood. I think it’s really sad when a library loses all of its books. If anyone is going to have a second hand book sale then please let me know because I will be there like lightning to buy books on my favourite topics. My dad likes books too so he’ll be there as well. And maybe there will be little baby books with lots of pictures for my sister to look at when I read to her.

ENTERTAINMENT

A compelling re-telling By Emily-Rose Toohey Last month, the Amanda Seyfried starring Disney+ miniseries The Dropout made its way to viewers, with the finale airing last Thursday. The eight episode show follows the real-life story of Elizabeth Holmes (played by Seyfried), a young female businesswoman who drops out of college to develop a healthcare technology that subsequently puts millions of patients lives at risk. The story is based on an investigative ABC podcast that tracks Holmes’ life and seeming success until the illusion is shattered in 2017, when its revealed that her tech start-up Theranos was built on fraud. From the get go, we see Holmes as someone craving money - she proclaims that she’s going to be a billionaire while still in high school and never wavers from that statement until she, in fact, achieves her exact goal. Simultaneously, we see her trying to better the world by developing a machine that can do blood tests with the simple prick of a finger. It’s inventive, cutting-edge, and promises to revolutionise the health care industry. That is until she loses sight of any good-doing purpose she had and becomes completely heartless and unethical. Amanda Seyfried is outstanding in the role; perhaps her best performance to date. From her mannerisms to her voice, it’s clear that the actress studied the person she was playing and understood exactly what to do. But there would be no Elizabeth Holmes

Amanda Seyfried and Naveen Andrews in character, still via The Dropout’s Instagram. without the story of her tumultuous relationship with Sunny Balwani, portrayed by Naveen Andrews. He is decades older than her and as chief operating officer (COO), Balwani is instrumental in helping the company thrive, as explored within the series alongside the toxic fate of their secret relationship. Overall, the series as a whole is so compelling yet so funny at times, thanks to strong scripts and believable performances. While I’m sure it sounds silly to avoid spoiling a show based on a recent, real life event, I assure you that not knowing the fallout makes the show even more interesting. So watch (or listen to the podcast of the same name) and find out for yourself - this review comes with a five star recommendation. The Dropout is available for streaming on Disney+

The book to screen adaptation is popular in movie-making. veal herself as an out-of-touch bigot is very tough to handle. It’s devastating to grow up and realise your heroes aren’t always who you think they are. Fortunately, Rick Riordan, author of the Percy Jackson series, is no such person. He wrote Percy’s story based on Ancient Greece: their gods, the myths and legends, and created his own fully lived-in world that could easily suck readers in. After the poor way Riordan’s story was handled in the movie space – two failed albeit entertaining movies when you forget about the novels – it was announced that Percy Jackson is officially coming to television. The Disney+ show was officially greenlit in January after nearly two years of whispers, and casting is well underway (Walker Scobell was announced in the titular role on Tuesday) with a 1 June shoot date scheduled at the present. After all the ups and downs, it is an exciting time to be a Percy Jackson fan - please don’t let us Demigods down... and may well-executed book to screen adaptations continue to dominate culture.

The book to screen adaptation is a decadesold concept. Some of the greatest films are based on books, but sometimes the translation process doesn’t deliver great results. In 2004, 20th Century Fox gained the rights to adapt the hit fantasy series Percy Jackson and the Olympians. The five novel series only got its first two outings into movies: The Lightning Thief (2010) and Sea of Monsters (2013). Unfortunately, both films are an example of when a book to movie adaptation goes very, very wrong. The core 12-year-old trio from the books were aged up to 20, they missed key details and most critically, the plot was changed completely. Any fan of the original novels would have been heartbroken after watching the film, myself included. I still remember 12-year-old Emily’s disappointment after obsessing over the original stories and characters and being excited about seeing epic fight scenes played on screen, only to be let down so badly. Anyone who’s ever been involved in fandom culture, whether they realised it or not, can relate to completely obsessing over a story, how exciting diving into new worlds can be, and how much these stories mean to you, especially as a child. Some of these stories stay with you to adulthood, having ‘raised’ you in a sense. They can shape a person’s interests, influence them, and quite frankly, consume a lot of your thoughts. Like, A LOT. Harry Potter, for instance, has been such a huge part of my life ever since I was 9. As a result, seeing someone like author J.K. Rowling, the creative mind behind my favourite series and someone who my young mind was subsequently in awe of, be a poster person for acceptance and then re-
