TO THE EDITOR 

Active pool supervision 

Royal Life Saving is urging 

parents across Queensland not 

to be complacent about their 

child’s safety around water. 

Latest Royal Life Saving research 

shows that 461 children 

under the age of five died due to 

drowning in Australia over the 

past 15 years, an average of 31 

per year. Of these, half were in 

home pools and spas. 

Active adult supervision had 

Over the years, the Toowoomba 

and Darling Downs Family 

History Society has been given 

a number of unnamed or poorly 

named photographs. 

Recently, while the secretary 

and I were tidying up in the back 

room, we came across a box 

of photos that had been sitting 

waiting for our attention. 

Some were named, and so off 

we went trying to find descendants 

who might like them. We 

discovered that Beatrice Hoskin 

had married David Gray Lamb 

and the family lived at Oakey. 

It is believed the photos would 

have belonged to Beatrice and 

contained many photos of nurses 

from the Brisbane Royal Hospital 

in the 1930s. 

We were able to find a niece of 

Beatrice Hoskin who now lives 

in Brisbane and she is identifying 

which of the photos belong 

to family members and we will 

then send them to her. 

Another couple of photos 

were of Werna Reid who married 

Herbert Somerset Vidgen. 

This led us to contact the niece 

by marriage of one of Werna’s 

To find out more details,

Reunite descendants with photos 

sons, Graham, and she came into 

the library and collected them to 

give to her uncle who lives in 

Brisbane as is doing the family 

history. 

Of course, we still have a lot 

of photos that, unfortunatel,y 

just have a given name on them 

so they will remain homeless. 

On the back of one of the 

group photos is written Dr Mc- 

Lean, Matron Sorrenson 2nd 

year Grade 78 or 79 – Brisbane 

Hospital 1930 (?). On the front 

some of the nurses have been 

identified by surname Hirst, 

Hoskin, Hicks, Noller, Reid. 

We now know who the Hoskin 

and Reid are, but does anyone 

else know of a family member 

who was a nurse at the Brisbane 

Royal Hospital at that time? 

If so, we’d love to hear from 

you and happy to give you a 

copy of the photo. 

I wonder just how many 

photos will survive from our 

digital age as many people never 

print them and even if we do, the 

prints will certainly not last like 

the old studio photos. - Marie 

Green, president.

either lapsed or was entirely absent 

in all cases. 

For every toddler drowning 

death approximately 10 children 

are admitted to hospital as a result 

of non-fatal drowning. 

Although they survive, many 

suffer lifelong consequences. 

In Queensland, in the 15 years 

between July 1, 2002 and 30 

June 2017, 148 children aged 

0 to 4 drowned. 67 of these occurred 

in home swimming pools. 

Royal Life Saving is launching 

a new awareness campaign 

urging parents and carers to 

Keep Watch of children around 

water no matter what. 

Royal Life Saving Society 

Queensland CEO, Paul Barry 

says, “Water is only safe when 

you’re watching. Distractions 

like answering the phone, attending 

to another child, or 

Night out at the theatre 

Where can you have a night 

out, with supper and live entertainment 

on the menu? 

The Cultural Heritage Network 

Toowoomba Region is 

holding its annual fundraiser by 

hosting Don’t Dress for Dinner, 

a comedy by Marc Camoletti. 

The play is “…a mile-aminute 

farce...” which takes a 

humorous look at the problems 

of a typical married man planning 

a romantic weekend with 

his chic Parisian mistress in 

his charming converted French 

farmhouse. 

He has arranged for a cordon 

bleu chef to prepare gourmet 

delights, and has invited his 

best friend Robert along too, to 

provide the alibi. It's foolproof; 

what could possibly go wrong? 

The night will “...make your 

belly shake with laughter and 

ducking inside to grab something 

can have tragic consequences 

if a toddler is left unattended 

by water.” 

“Actively supervise children 

around water, check your pool 

fence and gate, and never prop 

the pool gate open. Swimming 

lessons are great, but they are no 

substitute for active supervision 

and a pool fence in good working 

order.” 

set your mind spinning through 

a tangled web of deception, misconception, 

bumbling evasion 

and back-peddling explanation.” 

The fundraiser will be held 

on Friday 17 November at The 

Repertory Theatre, 94 Margaret 

Street, Toowoomba, from 

7pm with seating from 7.15pm. 

Tickets cost $25 and include

Election promises 

I was very interested to read 

in the Toowoomba Chronicle of 

October 30 the election promises 

of all the candidates for the 

forthcoming contest in the electorate 

of Toowoomba North. 

More specifically, as a resident 

of Highfields, I was most 

interested to read the commentary 

by the Labor candidate. 

The very first thing he promised 

was “further development 

in Highfields.” 

I found this both interesting 

and ironic for one reason. In 

the lead-up to the electoral redistribution 

in May this year, 

Get up political views 

Labor says the far-left organisation 

“Get Up!” is just a 

cross-section of people with different 

political views including 

LNP supporters. 

The extraordinary claim was 

made by the Labor spokesman 

on ABC morning radio on 

27/10/17. 

The ABC compere let it go 

without comment even though it 

is well known that this group donates 

money and manpower to 

Labor and Greens candidates, or 

anyone supporting the extremes 

leftist socialist agenda.

It is a back-door unaccountable 

organisation receiving hundreds 

of thousands of dollars 

from union members’ funds and 

even $100,000 from Bill Shorten, 

according to The Australian. 

Such generosity with union 

members’ funds for an independent 

group. 

“Get Up!” is a known extremist 

front for Labor and the 

Greens and the ABC clearly approves 

their errant propaganda 

being broadcast unchallenged.

Highfields to be removed from 

the electorate of Toowoomba 

North and instead be included 

in the electorate of Nanango so 

that we, the voters in Highfields, 

would be Deb Frecklington’s 

responsibility. This is all on the 

public record. 

What could have possibly 

happened in the five months

to rekindle the Labor candidate’s 

interest in us, the voters 

of Highfields? - Colin McKay,

70th anniversary of 7th Signal Regiment at Cabarlah 

Toowoomba Mayor Paul Antonio 

took the salute and reviewed the 

parade at the 70th anniversary celebrations 

of the 7th Signal Regiment 

at Cabarlah. 

Cr Antonio inspected the regiment’s 

two divisions of soldiers 

before him, accompanied by the 

Commander of the 6th Brigade, 

Brigadier Susan Coyle DSC CSM, 

and the Commanding Officer of 7th 

Signal Regiment (EW) Lt Col Robert 

Watson. 

The 6th Brigade is based in Sydney, 

and has units in a number of 

capital cities and in Cabarlah. 

During World War Two, the 

Cabarlah Camp was occupied firstly 

by the 11th Light Horse, followed 

by Headquarters Queensland 

Lines of Communication Area Signals 

Regiment which vacated the 

property in early 1944. 

This was followed by the Staff 

School (Australia) from 1944 until 

1946 when the school moved to 

Fort Queenscliff in Victoria and became 

the Australian Staff College. 

The 7th Signal Regiment was 

“born” on Christmas Day 1940 

when a unit known as the Australian 

Special Wireless Troop started 

operations. At the end of the Pacific 

War, the headquarters of that unit 

moved from Kalinga, Brisbane, to 

become a Special Wireless Section 

at Mornington Racecourse in Victoria. 

This section sought a more permanent 

location and for various 

reasons Cabarlah was chosen, and 

on February 3, 1947, the Unit, renamed 

101 Wireless Regiment, 

commenced operations. 

The original strength of the Regiment 

was two officers and 22 operators 

and technicians. The unit was 

redesignated 7th Signal Regiment 

on December 22, 1964. 

Relevance of base 

stronger than ever 

The 7th Signal Regiment at 

Cabarlah has just celebrated its 

70th anniversary, and the regiment’s 

relevance is arguably 

stronger now than ever before. 

For some years there was 

speculation among political and 

defence ranks about the future 

of the Cabarlah base, but the 

release of a Defence White Paper 

two years ago has confirmed 

the future of the base in an era 

of electronic warfare, and the increasing 

importance of the cyber 

sphere in defence. 

Commanding Officer of 7th 

Signal Regiment Lt Col Robert 

(Doc) Watson said there were 

not many units where the relevance 

of the unit’s role has increased 

over time. 

He said the Unit must always 

strive for relevance, and to do 

this, it must never accept the status 

quo. 

“We must be versatile, agile 

and adaptable,” Lt Col Watson 

said. 

During the past 70 years, 

members of the 7th Signal Regiment 

have served in Singapore, 

Malaya, Vietnam, Somalia, 

Bouganville, East Timor, Papua 

New Guinea, Solomon Islands, 

Afghanistan, and Iraq. Currently 

the Regiment has units deployed 

in harm’s way. 

By MILES NOLLER 

Jack back home again for Cabarlah celebrations 

A man who was an original member 

of 7th Signal Regiment in 1947, 

Jack Fenton, revisited his old “home 

on the hill” at Cabarlah last week for 

the unit’s 70th anniversary. 

Mr Fenton, pictured, who lives in 

Brisbane, retired from the unit with 

the rank of Major, in 1975. 

He said he was a child in Cairns, 

and saw what was happening during 

the battle of the Coral Sea, and ended 

up in the Army and in signals. 

He helped move the special wireless 

section in Mornington, Victoria, 

to Cabarlah. 

Mr Fenton was competent in 

Morse and had two languages, Indonesian 

and Chinese, and gained 

ADVERTISEMENT 

many more skills along the way, including 

a university degree. 

His role at Cabarlah took him 

overseas on numerous operations, 

including Singapore and Vietnam, 

but he always came back to his 

“home on the hill” at Cabarlah.

“If KAP hold the balance of 

power after the next election 

we will address the price crisis 

by changing the way the government 

regulates its poles and 

wires businesses to ensure they 

stop ripping off customers,” candidate 

Mr John Hill said. 

“Condamine households need 

real action now, not decades 

from now. Condamine can’t afford 

another three years of an 

MP without any plan on power 

prices,” Mr Hill said. 

The cost of regulated poles

bill, and other unnecessary

change the Federal Government’s 

proposed inland rail 

route through Millmerran, the 

Condamine flood plain, Pittsworth, 

Southbrook and onto 

Wellcamp to an alternative route 

that will protect farms, property 

and livelihoods. 

Mr Hill said: “Any attempt to 

cross the flood plain would cause 

unnecessary erosions and create 

enormous cost in construction 

foundations for the railway line. 

Alternative routes are available 

that should be considered by the 

Minister before a final decision 

is made."

PROFILE 

Greens candidate 

I moved from rural Wales in 

my youth and now live in Crows 

Nest. 

Since early days I’ve engaged 

with initiatives such as clean 

energy and social justice for a 

better world. 

In my local community I’ve 

been an advocate for community 

services to improve health, safety, 

public transport, inclusivity 

and protection of heritage. 

The farmlands and natural environments 

of Condamine need 

protection from the impacts of 

mining ventures and inland rail. 

Also, prime agricultural land 

is being eaten up by over development 

of housing with ecological 

deficit. 

Peri-urban areas have been 

traumatised by excessive tree 

clearing and loss of wildlife 

habitats. 

I also stand to support conservation 

farming practices, 

grassroots land care and indigenous 

rangers. 

Here we have a local, Queensland 

and global responsibility 

to lower the impacts of climate 

change. 

I advocate for less dependence 

on coal mining which directly 

elevates temperatures and 

ocean acidity. 

There needs to be a stronger 

acceptance from government of

STEVE THOMAS 

Greens candidate for 

Condamine 

the capability of the renewable 

energy sector to make a rapid 

change in the energy market. 

I support strong and responsible 

regulation of a state public 

energy provider to stop providers 

rorting the system. 

I encourage initiatives for responsible 

consumerism including 

shared transport efficiency. 

In Condamine I am a local 

representative of the people, 

and I demand for the people full 

consultation, legal protection, 

responsible government and 

weeding out corruption. - Steven 

M. Thomas. 

History talk on wartime Toowoomba 

Toowoomba during WWII 

was a city on the front line - 

headquarters for the defence of 

eastern Australia, large houses 

resumed for officer accommodation, 

air raid shelters and drills, 

operational air sorties, schools 

taken over as military hospitals, 

a refuge for coastal school children, 

and hundreds of Australian 

and American troops on rest and 

recreation leave. 

War-time life in the city is the 

subject of the next talk at the 

Toowoomba Historical Society. 

The speaker is Paul Herbert, 

a Toowoomba heritage enthusiast 

who has delivered numerous 

walking tours in and around 

Toowoomba and (with heritage 

architect wife Stephanie Keays) 

helped organise the Toowoomba 

Open House program and Festival 

of Rail. 

This talk is a reprise of a talk 

he gave to a small, but highly appreciative, 

audience at Cobb and 

Co Museum earlier this year. 

The meeting will be held at 

the society’s rooms, 49 Lindsay 

Street, Toowoomba on Monday, 

November 20, at 7.30pm. All 

welcome.

new police station and a possible 

hospital for Highfields, along 

with an adventure park land to 

create jobs and tourism.

signs popping up all over 

the area, now is the time to beat 

the drum and get yourself a commitment. 

I gather the wanna-be politicians

Watts pledges security upgrades 

Member for Toowoomba North Trevor Watts 

has announced that an elected LNP Government 

will invest $145,000 in crime-prevention infrastructure 

for Toowoomba. 

CCTV installations and upgrades will be rolled 

out across the electorate of Toowoomba North, 

including at the BMX Track Captain Cook and 

Rockville Sports Ground. 

Included in the $145,000 investment is $50,000 

for remote monitoring devices at sites outside the 

current council network and $75,000 to upgrade 

10 City Safe cameras from analogue to digital, 

allowing local police to quickly identify and respond 

to antisocial behaviour. 

“I am proud to be able to announce that the 

LNP will make this significant investment in the 

crime-fighting ability of our local police,” Mr 

Watts said. 

“Every day I speak to locals who tell me that 

one of their biggest concerns is the explosion of 

crime and anti-social behaviour in our community, 

which has been left unchecked by a do-nothing 

soft-on-crime Labor Government. 

“Enough is enough. That is why an elected 

LNP Government will invest $145,000 into new 

CCTV infrastructure.

Remembrance Day Crows Nest 

christian comment 

If I only had time 

By Noel Wilcox 

Pastor - Highfields Baptist Church 

Some people are good 

time managers, others 

not so good. 

We put so much emphasis 

upon time. 

It seems to be a commodity 

about which we are very much 

concerned. 

There is an old saying, ‘If you 

want someone to do something, 

ask a busy person, others don’t 

have time.’ 

The reality is that God has given 

us exactly the same amount 

of time, 24 hours or 1440 minutes 

a day. 

The apostle Paul says we 

are to redeem the time because 

the days are evil, or in another 

place, ‘walk circumspectly, not 

as fools, but as wise.’ 

Time is a precious commodity, 

we need to be wise about how 

we use it. 

It is an interesting exercise to 

map out your week in 30 minute 

segments and chart what you 

do for every half hour you are 

awake. 

It might just be a wake-up 

call. 

As much as we like to emphasise 

time as a commodity, we 

need to realise there are different 

seasons in our lives. 

The Bible seems to address 

these times, more than the actual 

commodity of time. 

We have this example in the 

book of Ecclesiastes. 

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8: To everything 

there is a season, A time 

for every purpose under heaven: 

A time to be born, And a time 

to die; A time to plant, And a 

time to pluck what is planted; 

A time to kill, And a time to 

heal; A time to break down, And 

a time to build up; 

A time to weep, And a time to 

laugh; A time to mourn, And a 

time to dance; 

A time to cast away stones, 

And a time to gather stones; A 

time to embrace, And a time to 

refrain from embracing; 

A time to gain, And a time to 

lose, A time to keep, And a time 

to throw away; 

A time to tear, And a time to 

sew; A time to keep silence, And 

a time to speak; 

A time to love, And a time to 

hate; A time of war, And a time 

of peace. 

A little further on the writer 

speaks of enjoying life, but be 

accountable to God for the way 

we live. 

Ecclesiastes 3:10-15: I have 

seen the God-given task with 

which the sons of men are to be 

occupied. 

He has made everything 

beautiful in its time. 

Also He has put eternity in 

their hearts, except that no one 

can find out the work that God 

does from beginning to end. 

I know that nothing is better 

for them than to rejoice, and to 

do good in their lives, 

and also that every man 

should eat and drink and enjoy 

the good of all his labour, it is 

the gift of God. 

I know that whatever God 

does, It shall be forever. 

Nothing can be added to it, 

And nothing taken from it. 

God does it, that men should 

fear before Him. 

That which is has already 

been, And what is to be has already 

been, And God requires an 

account of what is past. 

We need to recognise that 

there are seasons in our life. All 

time is not equal. 

Consider this concerning Jesus: 

Galatians 4:4-5 

But when the fullness of the 

time had come, God sent forth 

His Son, born of a woman, born 

under the law, to redeem those 

who were under the law, that we 

might receive the adoption as 

sons. 

Are you a slave to time? 

God gave His Son in His time 

for you. Do you have any time 

for Him?

Denise Neal, Jan Ritchie,

Birds in Backyards Week and

We did ours at a different

In all we listed 41 species and 

that did not include a couple of 

common ones like Willie Wagtails

FARMING 

Affordable and sustainable water - key to 

prosperous agricultural sector 

The need for farmers 

to have affordable and 

sustainable water for 

agricultural production 

is once again shaping 

up to be a major election 

must. 

For Queensland to 

continue producing 

world class food, fibre 

and foliage it must 

properly plan and allocate 

water for agricultural 

production, particularly 

in a changing 

climate. 

Current challenges 

include a lack of water 

for growth in some of 

the State’s most highly 

productive agricultural 

areas, planning 

decisions and electricity 

costs undermining 

the viability of some 

schemes, through to rising 

groundwater. 

Queensland Farmers’ 

Federation president 

Stuart Armitage outlined 

how critical the 

issue of water availability, 

accessibility and affordability 

were for the 

state’s farmers and the 

regional communities 

they support. 

“Queensland farmers 

are among the most efficient 

and productive 

users of water in the 

world.. 

"Water is the lifeblood 

for more than 

5500 irrigated farm 

businesses. 

“Water creates opportunity 

– for both 

farmers and for the 

businesses in the towns 

that service our sector. 

“Agriculture is responsible 

for the management 

and use of 60 

per cent of the State’s 

water. However, the 

management, planning, 

regulation, modelling, 

quality, and critically, 

pricing of agricultural 

water is spread across 

five departments and 

ministerial portfolios. 

“We need to get 

access, pricing, governance 

and administration 

of agricultural 

water right if we are to 

take advantage of the 

growing demand from 

domestic and international 

markets for high 

quality agricultural 

products,” Mr Armitage 

said. 

This election, QFF 

is advocating for the 

following sensible and 

practical actions to 

realise our vision for 

a vibrant and thriving 

agricultural sector 

providing food, fibre 

and amenity to all 

Queenslanders: 

• Commit to affordable 

bulk water prices 

for SunWater and SE- 

QWater s schemes and 

provision funding for 

QFF to contract specialists 

to ensure irrigated 

agriculture can 

meaningfully respond 

to the pending pricing 

investigations. 

• Develop a regulatory 

mechanism to facilitate 

future access to 

reserves in existing Water 

Plans which have set 

strategic water for future 

planning projects. 

• Facilitate temporary 

water trading. 

• Commit to greater 

protection for irrigation 

infrastructure. 

• Commit to machinery 

of government 

change to align agricultural 

water in the agriculture 

portfolio.

Platform and its Summary

ABOVE: The Yamsion 

cheese factory was built in 

1927 on land bought from 

Ardie Koehler by the Maclagan 

Valley Co-operative, 

almost opposite the Lutheran 

Church. In the early 1930s 

local farmers bought the 

cheese factory which was operated 

until 1957. The Yamsion 

Hall was built in 1955 

and improved and extended 

over the years. It is the only 

remaining functioning civic 

building at Yamsion. The 

Lutheran church which was 

opened in 1922 closed in 

1967, the same year that the 

Yamsion School also closed.

DDLBA - Last week saw the Downs District 

hosting a visit from the Burnett District. What a 

happy crowd of mixed bowlers they were, with 

lots of laughter on and off the green. 

Thank you to the two host clubs, Drayton and 

Toowoomba for your hospitality and friendship 

towards our visitors. 

Thanks also to the Downs clubs that availed 

themselves of the opportunity to play against 

another district in a friendly game of bowls. 

Among the winners were H. Johnson (Yarraman) 

A. Faulkner (Gayndah), D. Croft, (Murgon), M 

McKenna (Toowoomba), L. Reck (Gatton), M.

CROWS NEST LADIES: There was no winner 

at last week's game due to a switched pairs 

combination. This occurs when some players can 

only play in the first session and some only in the 

second session. This is also good news for any 

new or experienced bowlers. 

Our current format for Tuesday is two games 

by 10 ends. So if you can make it by 12.15pm 

and need to pick up children you can just play the 

first session. Or if you work and finish early then 

you can join us around 3pm. If you have never 

played before you are also welcome and coaching 

is freely provided. 

There will be no bowls this Thursday, November 

16, due to several members absent on this day. 

- Therese Smith. 

Bowlers from the Burnett District who visited Darling Downs last week. 

Ray Weis, right, with winners of the second round of the Crows Nest Tuesday Night Community 

Bowls, the team from Meats and More, Jayden, Craig and Pete, drawn out of the hat 

at the end of play. The game went for a little over an hour and is played under lights at the 

Crows Nest Bowls Club each Tuesday starting at 6.30. The green fee is $5 per player, and the 

burgers are cooked and ready by about 6pm. The drinks are always cold, and the company is 

friendly and lively. 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 have a good time. Complimentary continuous 

tea and coffee is also on hand, and a nightly raffle is also worth a ticket or two. Contact Gary
