Concordia becoming AFL destination
Concordia Lutheran College
is fast becoming an AFL destination
in Toowoomba, according
to AFL Queensland’s Darling
Downs Regional Manager Jeff
Neumann.
AFL is important in the sports
curriculum and a large number
of its students have made regional
representative sides this year.
A good example of the
school’s AFL appeal is 15-yearold
footballing prodigy and Troy
Clarke Scholarship recipient,
Zimmorlei Farquharson, who
will attend Concordia next year.
Highway changes at Kingsthorpe
The intersection of Gowrie Mountain School
Road and the Warrego Highway has shifted 100
metres to the west as roadworks continue at
Zimms Corner at Kingsthorpe.
This means that motorists travelling along
Gowrie Mountain School Road will be using the
new roundabout to access the Warrego Highway.
Some of the roundabout exits will remain closed
while work continues on the new overpass.
“They’ve got quite a few outstanding
athletes across many
different sports,” Neumann said.
Concordia, along with the
Darling Downs region, have had
another big win with the arrival
of AFLW player Sabrina Frederick-Traub
to deliver a talent
session and present the school’s
sports awards at a special breakfast..
“To have ‘Sabs’ there to
present not only just the Australian
Footballer of the Year, but all
the school sports awards is massive
for us from an AFL point
of view,” he said.“It’s a massive
win and all the boys and girls are
really looking forward to Sabs’
arrival.”
The feedback from students
and families around the attendance
of Frederick-Traub has
been hugely positive and some
participants will be travelling up
to two hours to attend the talent
session, highlighting its popularity
in the region.
Reduced speed limits, directional signage and
traffic control will be in place.
Motorists are asked to take care while travelling
through the area.
The Department of Transport and Main Roads
thanks you for your patience during these works.

Traffic App or phone 13 19 40.

WORKSHOP 2
Working Safely With Animals
And Nature
Winners of the opening round of Crows Nest Tuesday Night Community Bowls were the
Pedal-Pushers, Allen, Buddy and Jim, none of whom are regular bowlers. Winners are drawn
out of the hat at the end of play, so everybody has an even chance of success. Games go for
a little over an hour and are played under lights at the Crows Nest Bowls Club each Tuesday
evening starting at 6.30pm. The green fee is $5 a player. The burgers available from about
6pm are tasty, the drinks are cold, and the company is friendly and sociable. So come along
as a team of three, or just turn up on your own, on any Tuesday night until November 28 and
you’re sure to enjoy yourself. Complimentary continuous tea and coffee is also on hand, as
is a nifty nightly raffle. If you need any more info just contact Gary on bakescrowsnest@live.
com.au. There’s always room for more locals who want to have a go at bowls.
Defibrillators commissioned in Crows Nest
Crows Nest Community Solutions have
purchased three defibrillators to be located in
Crows Nest courtesy of money given by the retiring
board of the Crows Nest Hospital.
One of the machines will be located at IGA
Supermarket, another at Crows Nest Bowls
Club and the other at Crows Nest Childrens
Centre to be shared with Crows Nest State
School.
They were commissioned by St John's
Ambulance personnel at IGA Supermarket and
the bowls club.
The St Johns team are prepared to provide
training and CPR free for those who are interested
in learning how to use the machines
and members of the community are invited to
