Blaxland Station Stations sprang up all over the Darling Downs as settlement spread westward. Many names of the stations still exist around Dalby but of course as a much smaller holding than was originally selected. The Closer Land Settlement Act was responsible for reducing many of the larger stations. One such Station that retained its name was Blaxland, but of course it was never as large as St Ruth, Jimbour, Greenbank, or Loudoun. Most people relate to Blaxland as where the Boiling Down Works operated, owned by a Mr. E. J Blaxland. It was established in 1868 at what was then known as ‘Three Mile Scrub’ near Dalby. (Boiling down was a process used to produce Blaxland. Photo courtesy of Malcolm Wilson tallow from aged, slaughtered and skinned sheep.) he operated a twenty stand shed for contract shearing, advertising that rail was to the door of Mr. Edward J Blaxland supervised the selection the wool room. Mr. Hunt was still advertising his of timber from the surrounding scrub on the business in 1893. Mr Jesse Hunt died in 1896 and property which was required to build the shed the next owner, we understand, was Mr. John for the Boiling Down process. He had a black cow Nicholson. In the Dalby Herald report in 1914, pulling a light buggy from where he supervised “Mr. Nicholson had replaced the huge and clumsy the selection of timber to be felled for the steam engine, with its inseparable heat, smoke, building of the shed.

others in the district by buying sheep from outer stations. On one such occasion, in July, 1899, Mr. Nicholson and Mr. E M McLennan, the bosses, left Dalby by train with a droving team of twenty-two men to bring 20,000whethers purchased by Mr. Nicholson from Marathon station on the Flinders to Dalby. He had purchased 7,000 for himself and the remaining 13,000 for the syndicate (a group of smaller graziers). Originally, it was intended to drive the sheep in two separate flocks. A sheep ‘smash’ (loss of sheep from eating ‘desert poison’) of 1500 happened one night and this weed troubled them on the stock route until the Stations enroute allowed them access to their pasture. Arriving in Dalby, a couple of days before Christmas, the team were 3,500 sheep short but apart from the ‘smash’ it was a record trip and by all accounts a profitable one. Mr. John Nicholson at 72 was fatally injured in 1935 and so Blaxland Station was awaiting a new owner.

Since moving to Toowoomba I have completely moved from film to digital image making, and despite some trepidation at first I now have no regrets. In fact I can now get better control over the final output of the print with the current digital process and the wonderful inks and beautiful papers now available.

Then began five glorious days living on a very Richard W Hooke AAPS AFIAP comfortable ship with excellent food and drink (Chilean beer and wine are excellent) and up to four zodiac excursions a day. The zodiac excursions included landing at penguin colonies, research stations, historical sites, abandoned whaling stations and cruising amongst stranded icebergs. Our days started at 4.00am and finished around 10.30pm. We were very fortunate to get five fine days in a row, the average is about two out of five.

Anzac Day in Dalby In the early hours of Friday 25 April 2014, hundreds gathered for the ANZAC Day Dawn Service which was held at ANZAC Park on Patrick Street at 4.28am. At 9.30am hundreds more watched the Anzac Day parade down Cunningham Street followed by a Commemoration Service. In the Dawn Service address the bravery of the ANZAC forces was highlighted with special mention made of the most highly decorated Royal Australian Navy (RAN) unit during World War 1, the little known Royal Australian Naval Bridging Train (RANBT). The men of the Bridging Train were engineers and largely responsible for building and maintaining wharves and piers to enable supplies to be brought ashore. They were often under enemy fire but bravely went about their vital job. A small number of the Bridging Train were also the last Australians to leave the Gallipoli Peninsula, staying to the last to ensure that the evacuation infrastructure remained functional.

The address resonated with attendees at the Dawn Service, many of whom were young adults and children. Nick Bell attended the service with his wife Hannah and their eight month old son Jasper. The young couple reflected on their continuing 1. attendance at the Dawn Service. 2. “There is a big sense of entitlement today. Getting out of bed in the early hours is a small way to show respect and recognise the sacrifices made so we can enjoy our privileged life. War is brutal and lessons should be learnt from the past. We hope Jasper never has to see conflict in war and will raise him to respect ANZAC Day and all it stands for.”

Jim and Darryl Wrigley of Tingalpa, Brisbane drove up to spend Anzac Day with Bill Wrigley of Dalby. Dalby resident Hannah Bell holds son Jasper while husband Nick talks about the significance of Anzac Day to them. Geoff Wrigley, Wilkie Creek Fire Brigade and Ian Tuppack, Dalby Fire Brigade pay their respects at the Dawn Service.

Another ANZAC Day attendee, Geoff Wrigley spoke of his family serving across the navy, army and airforce, himself serving for sixteen years. ANZAC Day gives his family time to come together and remember people like his uncle who died in the Sandakan Death March in Borneo during World War

Two. It is also a time for him to remember mates who died in the Vietnam War. Lest we forget.

Anthony’s Celebrates 30 Years With Lorna

In June 1984, the Anthony family sold their 50 year old business at 100 Cunningham Street, Dalby to Lorna Laverty. Lorna retained the name of Anthony’s because even to this day in 2014, people remember the fabric they purchased for a special event in the 1950s and 60s. Around 1987, we introduced the new trend of patchwork and quilting. We started patchwork classes and began annual Quilt Shows in October displaying our talented students work. We run a variety of classes for the beginner to the experienced some involving visiting tutors. We sell Janome and Pfaff sewing machines and overlockers which we have seen great changes in their technology in this time. It is exciting to see the younger generation interested in learning to sew. We can cater for all sewers needs with our large range of dress and evening fabrics, habadashery, laces, ribbons, patterns, a great range of patchwork fabrics along with our friendly service. To help celebrate this last 30 years, we are going to hold a MONTH LONG SALE for JUNE. Each week we will offer 30% off each purchase over $30 in the products allocated for that week.

Why SHould the Bunya Mountains in Winter be on Your Bucket List? Its rainforest-clad peaks shelter the largest stand of ancient bunya pines in the world.

Cake Decorating Classes – practice makes perfect! In 2009 when Mary Reid and Cheryl Stace opened Merivale Cakes and Crafts at Highfields, the super hype surrounding the current cake decorating revolution was just starting. In the 5 years since, they have been teaching their Sugarcraft range at their Highfields cake studio and have introduced over 50 different classes, presented up to 70 certificates each year and have taught over 200 students (with some travelling from as far as Emerald, Roma and Townsville). Merivale’s training portfolio ranges from beginner, to intermediate, to advanced, with some custom-designed classes (to suit the individual skills needed) and user choice (where students can choose the mix of skills that they wish to advance). Delivery options include day, evening, week day and weekend classes and small class size which allows for maximum attention to students. In August and November 2014, Merivale will run beginner classes in Chinchilla. With many western Queensland students travelling to Highfields for classes, Merivale has decided to run two trial workshops in Chinchilla to see if there is a market for further classes in rural communities.

Win a wedding cake voucher valued at $400 To go into the draw to win a Merivale Cakes and Classes $400 wedding cake voucher, simply fill in the coupon with your name, phone number, email address and wedding date, and return it to WESTERN DOWNS MAGAZINES, 35 HIGH ST JANDOWAE, 4410.

However, Merivale do a lot more than create amazing cakes for clients and run a school. They are also very active in using their craft to support the community. On an annual basis, they run demonstrations for schools and community groups, creates cakes for charities, provide sponsorships for the Brisbane Ekka, Toowoomba and Goombungee Shows, and conduct community workshops at the annual Cobb & Co Museum Have-A-Go festival and the Highfields Cultural Centre. Recently, Mary negotiated an agreement with three rural shows to provide sponsors and judging until 2016. Merivale conduct a range of business development classes and mentors a group of advanced students who are almost ready to open new business ventures of their own. To accelerate the skilling for these students Merivale organises workshops (in Highfields and Melbourne) with some Australian and world class Sugarcraft specialists and authors to teach at their Highfields studio. The success of Merivale’s Sugarcraft classes can be measured by their students’ results from the regional and Royal shows and the international expo competitions and tours that they organise. During the 2014 Toowoomba and Goombungee shows, students achieved over 30 awards and at the UK 2012 and 2013 international cake decorating competitions students won a combined 9 awards. These are amazing results considering the competition pieces were transported safely half way across the globe and in light of the high standard of entries, against very experienced decorators. These achievements are truly inspiring and they are from a local Highfields business who is passionate about passing on the art of cake decorating to all aspiring students. Merivale Cakes & Training

Under 8s Week at DSS Dalby State School kick started Under 8s Week celebrations with fun, games and activities for both their school and the wider community on Friday morning. Children from Prep, Year 1 and Year 2 were joined by children from LIFT Playgroup and several local kindies and daycares. The big decision for the children and their teachers, parents and carers was which activity to begin with. Their choices included a visit to check out the police car and fire engine, create a headband, design a mask, stipple paint a boomerang, listen to a story read by staff from the Western Downs Library, join in with the singing and dancing, play games with Sarah from the PCYC, have their face painted or make a kite â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to name just a few of the activities. The glowing feedback received from those who joined in the fun has consolidated the idea for Under 8s Week celebrations to be an annual feature of the Dalby State School calendar. Mrs Mona Anau

DCC Paper-Plane Competition Dalby Christian College aim to instil in their students a sense of community, house spirit and responsibility. The College Inter-House Competition has been designed to support that vision and therefore, goes beyond the traditional sport focused events. One such event, the Inter-House Paper Plane Competition, was held on Thursday, 1st of May. Students had the opportunity to earn points for their house teams in three ways: Participation, Distance Throw, and Creative Plane Creation. Students spent some time folding paper planes using whichever design they felt would fly the furthest in a distance throw. They also put enormous effort into designing, building and otherwise creating planes out of any material they wished for the creative plane category which was judged on creativity, effort, quality and expression of team spirit.

It was exciting to see this year’s results with the Creative Planes being the best on display since the competition’s inception 4 years ago. The winning creations in each year group all included impressive, original catch phrases in support of their house. Although not winning first place, judges made special mention of two entries: a cake baked in the shape of a plane and another plane made from a pear. It was a close finish with Taylor clinching the lead from Carey at the last moment. Congratulations to all students involved. Dalby Christian College Top Right: Judges, Miss.

Stress – It can affect us all The founder of World Organic, Megan Douglas, has been kind enough to provide me with the following information to help some of my readers cope and deal with stress. Stress affects many of our friends and family members and the effects it has on our overall well-being and physical health can be detrimental. How To Manage Stress: It is important to remember that stress need not affect us in a negative way. It is created by our reaction to situations and not by the situation itself. If we can temper our reactions, if we can manage life’s roller-coaster with a degree of equanimity and perspective, then we can minimize the adverse consequences of stress. Stress management tips that may help you: •

•

First and foremost, know what your stressor is! Too often, people accept that they are stressed without taking the time to properly think through exactly what it is that is making them stressed. Anything can cause you stress – your work, your relationships, your body image, even the poor performance of your favourite sports team. Learn to identify what is making you stressed. It’s a necessary first step in dealing with the problem. Try meditation. The benefits of meditation are vast. If you’ve got the time, have a look at our blog on meditation in the ‘Soul’ section of our website. The simple action of breathing in a meditative state will add oxygen to your system and will bring you a measure of focus and control. Moderate your consumption of alcohol and/ or cigarettes. They’re crutches. They might dull the feeling of stress in the short term, but they do nothing to help the problem and have their own health-related costs. Live well. Get a good night’s rest (seven hours minimum), eat healthily, exercise, pamper yourself occasionally, make time for family and friends, get a pet (if you like animals!). All of these things have been • shown to help mitigate against stress.

•

Know your limits and be prepared to either say no or get help. It’s when we take on too much that we’re most likely to experience stress.

•

Try hypnotism. Like meditation, hypnotism can be particularly useful in helping you manage the causes and symptoms of stress. Have a look at our ‘Mind’ blog to discover

THE EFFECTS OF STRESS MIND • • • • • •

Insomnia, nightmares, disturbing dreams Difficulty concentrating, racing thoughts Trouble learning new information Difficulty in making decisions. Forgetfulness, disorganization, confusion Little interest in appearance,

• • • • • • • •

punctuality Obsessive or compulsive behavior Lies or excuses to cover up poor work Overreaction to petty annoyances Excess anxiety, worry, guilt, nervousness Depression Excessive gambling or impulse buying Increased smoking, alcohol or drug use Sudden attacks of panic

BODY • • • • • • • •

Frequent headaches, jaw clenching or pain Chest pain, palpitations, heart attacks, strokes and hypertension Tremors, trembling of lips, hands Neck ache, back pain, muscle spasms. Light headedness, faintness, dizziness Ringing, buzzing or “popping sounds” Frequent blushing, sweating Skin damage and/or skin disorders,

• • • • • • • •

including atopic dermatitis Cold or sweaty hands, feet Dry mouth, problems swallowing Frequent colds, infections, herpes sores Rashes, itching, hives, “goose bumps” Constant tiredness, weakness, fatigue Weight gain or loss without diet Poor sexual desire or performance Constipation, diarrhea, excess flatulence, belching

SOUL • • • • •

Feeling overloaded or overwhelmed. Frequent crying spells or suicidal thoughts Feelings of loneliness or worthlessness Increased frustration, irritability, edginess Overreaction to petty annoyances

the many benefits it can offer. Look after your skin. When you become stressed, the amount of blood and oxygen which is supplied to your skin lessens dramatically. As a result, your skin will often take on a grey pallor and become dry, flaky and prone to irritation. When this happens, it is as important to care for your skin as it is for your general physical and emotional self. Take the time to cleanse and moisturize, and even visit a masseur if you can. Hopefully, we don’t need to tell you that your skin

• • • • •

Excessive defensiveness or suspiciousness Problems in communication, sharing Increased anger, frustration, hostility Frequent or wild mood swings Social withdrawal and isolation

will repair itself much more quickly if you use natural, organic products rather than synthetic ones! So, there you have it. It’s highly unlikely, unless you live in a cocoon, that you can avoid stress. However, if you opt for a thoughtful, balanced approach to life you can manage it and you can master it. In the end, that’s a much more desirable option than having it master you. Chantahl Stedman

PROBIOTICS Benefits of taking a Probiotic with an Antibiotic There is a constant battle going on in our digestive system between “good” and “bad” bacteria. The use of certain medications may disrupt the balance and may cause uncomfortable digestive upsets. Probiotics are live microorganisms thought to be beneficial to the host organism. A probiotic can be used daily to contribute to the “good” bacteria in your digestive tract. Why may a customer need to take a Probiotic Individual’s taking antibiotic medication or possibly individuals with lifestyle factors such as poor diet, high alcohol intake and excessive stress which may cause uncomfortable digestive upsets. Benefits of taking a Probiotic may help to • Defend against and reduce the frequency of diarrhoea caused by antibiotics or lifestyle • Support digestive health during the use of medications which may disrupt gut bacteria membranes • Promote healthy gastrointestinal function • Top up beneficial bacteria in the digestive system • Benefit in times of occasional digestive upset • Support digestive system health and wellbeing Up to 10% of an individual’s daily energy needs can be derived from the by products of the good bacteria in your gut. Furthermore, probiotics can provide multiple benefits for your immune system and are generally regarded as safe and well tolerated but should be avoided in patients who are severely ill or immunocompromised. Come in an speak to one of our friendly staff of Pharmacist at Dalby & District Friendly Society about taking a probiotic. Dalby & District Friendly Society Dispensary

The midwife can book women into their birthing hospital, provide comprehensive care and education, order and interpret pathology and radiology as required and conduct assessments of fetal wellbeing using a CTG as required. All documentation will be shared with the woman’s consent, with her GP and birthing hospital. If the woman desires, she may additionally access continuity of care from one of the midwives for birth care in Toowoomba Hospital.

with minimal out of pocket costs. Similarly to GP services, consultations are time based with the majority of consultations being from 40 minutes to one hour. Again, depending on the consultation, the woman may come to central clinics (one each in Millmerran, Inglewood and Chinchilla) which will be established during the project or may receive a home visit from the midwife (depending on their location). Women who require out of hours services may contact the My Midwives on call phone for additional care if appropriate.
