Three trips to town for me in the week meant
buying two of the regional papers.
Wow! The big media conglomerates must be
raking in the cash. Those papers were at least half
full of full-page colour advertisements mostly
from the large retail groups.
After leaving Google, Tim Hwang wrote “Subprime

Among other things, he noted large retail groups
and advertisement producers found reducing their

reduced digital spend into traditional media increased
their messaging reach.
Obviously, the large retailers have noticed and
are pouring promotion into regional media.
It is surprising then that the Chronicle has raised
the sale price of its physical paper, as that is where
even skimming readers glimpse all the ads - unlike

Vietnam veterans remembered for service and sacrifice
60 YEARS SINCE FIRST INVOLVEMENT IN VIETNAM WAR AND ANNIVERSARY OF THE BATTLE OF LONG TAN
Community members gathered
last Thursday to pay their
respects to those who had served
during the Vietnam War.
The Toowoomba RSL Sub
Branch and Darling Downs Vietnam
Veterans welcomed attendees
to the commemorative service
held at Mothers’ Memorial
on Thursday morning.
The ceremony marked 60
years since Australia’s first involvement
in the Vietnam War
and also the anniversary of the
Battle of Long Tan.
Vietnam veteran Jim Danskin
spoke about the conflict while
Long Tan survivor Lindsay
Morrison read the Roll of Honour
of fallen servicemen from
Toowoomba and the Darling
Downs.
Mr Morrison said it was great
to see the extent of community
support for the veterans of the
Vietnam War.
“It took me until 2005 to tell
people that I had served in Vietnam.
"I had lived in Toowoomba for
20 years before my neighbours
even knew that I was a Vietnam
Veteran.
Vaccination bus comes to Darling Downs
The Spring VaxBus is delivering
COVID-19 and influenza
vaccines across the Darling
Downs region from August 23
to September 16.
The bus is delivering
COVID-19 Pfizer vaccines for
children and adults, Novavax
vaccines for adults, and Influenza
vaccines for everyone aged
five years or older.
The Spring VaxBus can provide
COVID-19 and flu vaccines
during the same visit. All vaccines
are provided for free, and
no bookings are required.
Darling Downs and West Morton
PHN CEO Lucille Chamlers
said people were expected to get
more active as we move into the
warmer months.
“Getting vaccinated against
COVID-19 and the flu is the
best way to keep ourselves and
others well,” she said.
“The goal of the Spring Vax-
Bus is to make vaccination accessible
to as many people as
possible.”
The Spring VaxBus has 26
scheduled stops, and all vaccines
will be administered by
the Oceana Immunisation team.
“It’s good now that we can
talk openly about it,” he said.
The Battle of Long Tan took
place in a rubber plantation near
Long Tan between Viet Cong
and the People’s Army of Vietnam,
and the 1st Australian Task
Force on August 18, 1966.
Looking back on his experience
at Long Tank, Mr Morrison
said he and the other soldiers at
the base didn’t know the attack
was going to happen.
“It was totally unexpected. We
didn’t know that there were that
many enemies there, we thought
there would only be a mortar
crew,” he said.
“I was sitting on the side of a
Vietnam dug trench listening to
Little Patty and Col Joy having
a concert back at base and we
didn’t know it was all going to
happen.”
Mr Morrison said he felt proud
that it was being accepted by the
public but also sad remembering
those who didn’t make it back
home.
He said the growing public
support and ceremonies like this
helped him put the conflict behind
him.
The schedule has been designed
with flexibility in mind
to ensure maximum coverage of
the community.
To enquire about in-home
vaccinations for vulnerable people,
or to confirm the exact time
and location of the bus, community
members can call 1300 117
792.
While Medicare cards are not
required for vaccination, participants
will require a legal form of
identification which can include

said he was surprised with the
community numbers attending
Thursday’s event.
“It’s absolutely terrific and I
was quite blown away with the
numbers in attendance here today.
"With the passing of our
WWII veterans, these Vietnam
veterans are now becoming
more in focus of remembering
the fallen,” he said.

HIGH COUNTRY HERALD - AUGUST 23, 2022 - 3
Three arrested after reckless joyride
Three people were charged after a stolen ute
was allegedly driven dangerously between Ipswich
and Toowoomba last week.
It was alleged a Toyota Hilux was stolen during
a break-in at a Laidley residence just after 2am on
Monday, August 8.
It was further alleged the Hilux was sighted in
different locations driving at high speed and on the
wrong side of the road.
At around 8.30am on Monday, August 8, the
vehicle was driven straight at a police vehicle on
Stone Gully Road at Coolan, forcing the officers to
take evasive action and pull away from the road.
Polair continued to monitor the ute as it proceeded
onto the Warrego Highway towards
Toowoomba, allegedly continuing to travel dangerously
and at a high speed.
The two occupants of the vehicle abandoned
the ute on Sixth Avenue in Toowoomba and were
picked up by two other people allegedly driving a
black Toyota Rav4.
The Rav4 was then allegedly driven dangerously
on Toowoomba Streets including crossing onto
the wrong side of the road and through a service
station.
Polair continued to track the vehicle until it
travelled into the carpark of Grand Central shopping
centre where the four occupants exited and
ran inside.
Officers immediately attended the location and
took four people into custody.
An Ellen Grove man, 29, was charged with
three counts of dangerous operation of a vehicle
and one count each of burglary, receiving tainted
property, unlawful use of a motor vehicle, possession
of dangerous drugs, driving unlicensed, driving
uninsured, driving unregistered, and offence to
possess medicines.
A Toowoomba woman, 27, was charged with
two counts of unlawful use of a motor vehicle
and one count each of burglary, receiving tainted
property, unlawful use of a motor vehicle, driving
unlicensed, driving uninsured and driving unregistered.
A Newtown woman, 35, was charged with two
counts of unlawful use of a motor vehicle and one
count each of burglary and possession of tainted
property.
All three appeared in the Toowoomba Magistrates
Court on Tuesday, August 9.
A Rockville boy, 15, was charged with unlawful
use of a motor vehicle.
Council cuts red tape to
aid housing supply
Toowoomba Regional Council has endorsed
seeking Ministerial approval to remove regulations
to aid new housing supply.
Planning and Development Committee chair Cr
Megan O’Hara Sullivan said this was one of four
measures the council would use to simplify and
speed up the approval process for new housing
across the region.
Cr O’Hara Sullivan said the simpler process
would streamline development mostly in emerging
areas in Cotswold Hills, Torrington, Glenvale
and Drayton. Around 430 hectares of land or 3700
lots (mostly 700sqm, in keeping with sizes agreed
to by the development industry) would be available
for new dwellings.
“This move will create a simpler, shorter and
lower-risk process for the development of land
with access to existing or planned infrastructure,”
she said.
“It also creates more options for the management
of stormwater for medium density development
on sites that slope away from the street, making
them more feasible for redevelopment.
“The council has taken this action to encourage
the development of new housing stock on appropriately
serviced and located land in the planning
scheme area to assist with addressing our current
housing shortage.
“Senior TRC planning officers consulted with
their state government counterparts and other development
industry professionals to devise a range
of measures and other policies to enable developers
to offer greater housing choice across the region.”
Cr O’Hara Sullivan said the council continued
to investigate options and hold discussions about
suitable council-owned land that could be developed
by social housing providers or private developers.
“We will continue to lobby the state government
and community housing providers to find solutions
for the urgent provision of social housing and
affordable housing for the private rental market,”
Cr O’Hara Sullivan said.
TRC Planning and Development Committee
portfolio leader Cr Bill Cahill said the council’s
initiatives were designed to assist in the provision
of more rental accommodation in the region’s existing
urban areas, as well as making it easier for
developers to provide new housing lots for owner
occupiers in the short term, (especially given the
demand for new owner occupier homes that has
been driven by federal stimulus incentives).
“History and statistical evidence show us that
these measures look to give us the greatest yield
for new dwellings on the ground,” Cr Cahill said.
“The council is also looking to unlock the latent
capacity in our existing infrastructure networks,
particularly around in-fill development. This also
delivers a more cost-effective solution as we encourage
more dwellings to be built.
“We acknowledge that housing supply and
housing rental stress are key issues being experienced
in our community, that have been compounded
by the COVID-19 pandemic and other
economic changes.
“These challenges are not unique to the
Toowoomba Region and reflect challenges being
experienced across Australia.
“The council continues to meet with the development
industry as part of ongoing discussions to
address housing supply concerns across the Region.
“The council must manage growth sustainably
and responsibly and is actively planning for the
future in developing a new Toowoomba Regional
Growth Plan and planning scheme.”
The council’s additional housing incentive measures
(that were endorsed in June 2022), include:
• Reducing application fees by 50% for building
new infrastructure associated with new subdivisions
for a period not exceeding 12 months from
June 2022, • Bringing forward an incentives policy
for adoption, that in principle reduces the infrastructure
charges normally applicable to a medium
density development. The details of this incentives
policy are yet to be determined and endorsed by
the council.
National Wattle Day - September 1
GOLDEN WATTLE AWARD RECOGNISES
CONTRIBUTION TO AUSTRALIA
Since 1992, the first day of
spring, September 1, has been
proclaimed as the nation’s National
Wattle Day. This was
done to unify individual State
and Territories Wattle Days that
had been celebrated between
July and October depending on
when the local wattle flowering
was at its best.
There are 1070 Acacia species
native to Australia. The Golden
Wattle (Acacia pycnantha) was
officially gazetted as Australia’s
national floral emblem in 1988.
The Golden Wattle Award is
presented to an Australian or
Australians who have brought
‘gold’ to Australia during the
year by their contributions to the
land and/or the people.
Previous winners include
Olympic swimmer Emma McKeon,
Australian health and medical
professionals, and Craig
Challen and Richard Harris, the
doctors involved in the rescue of
the Wild Boars Football Team
from the cave in Thailand.
Golden Wattle - 1070 species native to Australia
The Aboriginal and Torres
Strait Islander nations have used
acacias for a wide variety of
purposes, including food, medicines,
digging sticks, weapons,
musical instruments, firewood
and dyes. A number of wattle
species are suitable for garden
planting. Obviously, if you wish
to plant one, check that the size
is suitable for your garden, and
that the species can grow in your
locality, as some are not frost
hardy. Acacia are a good source
of pollen for help with bee populations,
and the seeds are a food
source for different bird species.
So, if this has germinated an
interest in our national floral emblem,
what are you ‘Wattling’
for! • Check out http://www.

Two people
arrested in
Harlaxton
murder case
Detectives from Toowoomba
Criminal Investigation Branch
and the Homicide Unit arrested
and charged two people last
week for the alleged murder of
Thor Morgan.
After five months of investigation,
police officers arrested
the man on the morning of Monday,
August 15 and he appeared
at the Brisbane’s Magistrates
Court that afternoon.
Three days later, detectives
arrested a 24-year-old Nobby
woman as part of the investigation
and she appeared at the
Toowoomba Magistrates Court
later that day.
At approximately 2.50am on
March 15, Mr Morgan was driving
a vehicle on Ruthven Street
when a firearm was discharged
from a stolen dual cab.
Mr Morgan would be later
found at a Coonan Street address
with a gunshot wound to his
head. Mr Morgan passed away
as a result of his injuries at the
Princess Alexandra Hospital on
May 16.
Following an extensive investigation
as part of Operation
Uniform Tyne, police dive squad
officers recovered a firearm from
a northern branch of the Condamine
River on July 26, which
police allege was used in the incident.
Detective inspector Heath
McQueen said information from
people coming forward helped
police recover a rifle from the
Condamine River.
“Throughout investigations
we often rely on members of the
community to provide information
to police to help us progress
investigations,” he said.
“There was at least one other
person in that motor vehicle
with the 24-year-old male who
has been charged with murder
today, and that person has assisted
that offender with destroying
evidence in attempting to cover
up this offence.
“Now is the time for any persons
who may have information,
or may have knowledge or may
have even been involved in the
commission of this offence to
come forward, take the opportunity
to sit down and provide that
information to detectives from
the Toowoomba Criminal Investigation
Branch.”
The 24-year-old man has been
charged with one count each of
murder, arson of a motor vehicle,
unlawful use of a motor
vehicle and unlawful possession
of weapons. He appeared at the

Work starts on upgrades for Mt Kynoch
Soil was turned at the Mt
Kynoch Water Treatment Plant
last week to celebrate the beginning
of the new Stage 4 upgrades
for the facility.
Upgrades to the plant will see
an increase in its filtration capacity
adding another 16ML to
its current 49ML per day limit.
The Toowoomba Regional
Council has invested $28
million in the project which is
required to implement modern
water treatment processes
and proven water security until
2031, in line with population
growth forecasts.
Infrastructure construction
company Fulton Hogan was
awarded the contract in November
2021 after completing a successful
early contractor involvement
phase.
Works will include replacing
mechanical and electrical equipment,
improved chemical management,
new chemical dosing
systems, and remediation to increase
the longevity of the existing
concrete tanks.
Water and Waste Committee
chair Cr Rebecca Vonhoff said
this project was to ensure there
was safe drinking water for the
future.
“We will be introducing an
ultraviolet light barrier which
is important for the treatment of
water,” she said.
“At the moment we’re relying
on filtration but ultraviolet light
is especially important for protozoa
removal.”
Cr Vonhoff said there would
be times where the upgrade
works would impact on the water
supply.
“That’s all going to be managed.
It’s a complex system but
there are huge storage tanks,
they’re going to be filled. We
know when peaks and troughs
are and that’s going to be taken
into account with the operation.
“During construction, residents
in the vicinity may notice
an increase of traffic to the site
and occasional movement of
heavy machinery.
“Water quality will be continually
monitored to ensure it
meets stringent water quality
guidelines during the upgrades.”
The Stage 4 upgrades are expected
to be completed by February
2024. - Sean White

invited members of the Maclagan
Men’s Shed to join them
for a thank you morning tea on
Wednesday, August 17.
Recently the Maclagan Mens
Shed have worked on several
projects for the kindergarten
from restoring its picnic tables
and creating a new street library
for the service and the morning
tea was to show appreciation for
their work.
The street library will be a

to have a group within the local
community like the Maclagan
Men’s Shed who were so willing
to help.
“We hold a working bee every
June/July and we asked the
men’s shed if they would like to
help in restoring our picnic tables.
They were more than happy
to help,” she said.
Maclagan Men’s Shed president
Russell Duggan said the
group held a demonstration for
children.
“Our members showed the
children how to correctly and
safely use the tools that we have
at the shed,” Mr Duggan said.
“It has been fantastic to see
the delight on the children’s faces
during the demonstration.
“The Maclagan Mens Shed is
a place where men can gather to
talk while we also help the local
community however we can.”

Tributes flow for
hit-run victim
Tributes and condolences
have been posted to Oakey
woman Trudy Wright Dodd and
her family after she died in an
alleged hit and run two weeks
ago.
Ms Dodd’s body was found
by a passing motorist on the side
of 4AK Road on the morning of
Saturday, August 13.
Investigations indicated Ms
Dodd was struck by a car sometime
between midnight and 8am
that day.
Toowoomba detectives investigating
the matter received
information from the public and
were able to locate the vehicle
believed to be involved in the
matter.
Detective inspector Heath
McQueen said the driver of the
vehicle was assisting police
with their enquiries.
“The Forensic Crash Unit has
a lead investigation and will
progress it as it goes forward,”
he said.
Family and friends took to
social media, remembering the
contribution Ms Dodd made to
the community.

Dodd’s three children to cover
the funeral costs; raising $8650
in 16 hours.

are ongoing. - Sean White

Spies in the Suburbs: After dark museum event
The public is invited to a unique night at
Cobb and Co Museum this Friday, August
26, to hear first-hand the poignant account
of a peculiar childhood in 1950s suburban
Brisbane.
Sue-Ellen Doherty and her two siblings
were trained by their ASIO agent parents to
memorise car number plates, spot unusual
behaviour on the street and avoid drawing
attention to themselves.
The children became unwitting foot soldiers
in Australia’s battle against Soviet infiltration
during the Cold War. They attended political
rallies, stood watch on houses owned by
communist sympathisers, and insinuated
themselves into the UFO Society.
Hear from Sue-Ellen herself, along
with With My Little Eye author Sandra Hogan,
a book written about the Doherty family.
The doors open at 5.30pm for a 6pm start.
• Cost for the talk and night time tour is $25
and includes a drink on arrival and a delicious
tasting plate. It is an 18+ event.

CHRISTIAN COMMENT
The Bible covers many subjects
Are you a book reader? Studies on the brain
have shown that reading something in print results
in a far greater comprehension of what is read,
than reading from a screen does.
This is especially helpful while studying. Using
printed books rather than a screen helps in retaining
what is learned, as the brain processes the two
methods differently.
It has been found that when reading from a
screen many of the fine details can be missed.
Curled up with a good book allows the imagination
to ‘see’ the characters and places in a story
book, in a way that reading from a screen does not.
Reading to children also has myriads of benefits
and can result in everything from them developing
a high IQ, to improved imagination and creativity.
It also of course, creates a bond with the child,
spending time together enjoying a good book, and
helps to create a love of reading.
Reading online is becoming more and more important.
The continued development of our brain
right throughout life can be greatly enhanced if we
take time to read books. Reading is also proven to
increase relaxation and reduce stress.
In a fast paced world, reading is a great way to
unwind and relax.
Did you know that there are 66 books in the Bible?
Did you know that apart from the four Gospels
that cover the earthly life and ministry of Jesus,
most of the books are written about everyday
people like you and I?
Are you aware of the many subjects the Bible
covers? History, genealogy, law, philosophy, love,
proverbs, wars, prophecy, worship, salvation and
songs, to name a few. Then there are adventure
stories, signs, wonders and miracles, how to live
in peace and joy and instructions for right living.
The Bible covers stories of men, women and
children from the nameless to famous kings and
prophets. It records battles won, love lost, acts
of both bravery and cowardice, and personal triumphs
and failures of many kinds.
If you have a Bible on your bookshelf that is
unread, perhaps it is time to read it and discover
it’s value for yourself. There are numerous other
benefits of reading the Bible and Psalm 119 records
many of them. Verse 105 gives one aspect:
"Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my
path.” If you don’t have a Bible of your own and
would like one, please contact David Hiscock on
0448 982 919. - Contributed by John 15 Christian

Culvert replaced on Kingsthorpe-Haden Road
Upgrading of a major culvert
on the Kingsthorpe-Haden Road
(between McDonalds Road and
Kann Street, Haden) is expected
to be completed by October
2022, weather permitting.
Toowoomba Regional Council
Infrastructure Committee
Chair Cr Carol Taylor said the
project was originally due for
completion in April however due
to an historical find - an early
stone and timber culvert structure
- and ongoing wet weather,
completion has been delayed.
“A project milestone has recently
been reached, with traffic
switched over from the eastern
From the

road, allowing works to progress
on the eastern side,” Cr Taylor
said.
“The culvert replacement project
was jointly funded by the
Australian Government’s Bridges
Renewal Program Round Five
and the council. The project will
help to improve drainage and
road safety.
“Thank you to the community
for your patience while the
council completes this important
culvert upgrade.”

49th Toowoomba Swap Meet TOOWOOMBA SWAP 2022
Toowoomba Showgrounds
Sat 3rd - Sun 4th September 2022
Operated by the Darling Downs
Veteran & Vintage Motor Club
Darling Downs Veteran and Vintage Motor Club display on Saturday, September 3.
After recent postponements,
the Darling Downs Veteran and
Vintage Motor Club is excited to
welcome swappers to the 49th
Toowoomba Swap Meet.
This year’s swap meet will be
held at the Toowoomba Showgrounds
on the weekend of Saturday,
September 3.
Toowoomba Swap Meet publicly
officer Pat Murphy said the
annual event was usually held
on the first weekend of February
but the club now would continue
with the new September date.
“I have been with the swap
meet for about 40 years and it’s
great to see this event will continue
on,” he said.
“Swap meets are great places
where people are able to meet
like-minded people and may find
a great bargain.
“I know I will be on the lookout
for parts for a ‘33 Plymouth.”
The Toowoomba Swap Meet
is the biggest event of its kind
organised by a single club in
Australia and has attracted more
than 10,000 people to the event
for many events.
Vendors from all over Australia
will travel to the showgrounds
where they will be
selling a variety of wares from
antique items, clothing, car parts
and more.
Mr Murphy said the event had
been held at many venues around
Toowoomba since the first swap
meet was held at Hampton Street
at Glenvale in 1973.
“The Toowoomba Showgrounds
is the ideal site for the
swap meet because there are
plenty of undercover sites for
vendors and attendees,” he said.
“While internet trading has
affected swap meets around the
world, it can’t replace the personal
touch of interacting with
vendors in person.
“Swap meets are a great way
for people to meet like-minded
people to gather information,
and purchase new and second
hand items.”
The Darling Downs Veteran
and Vintage Motor Club has also
organised vehicle display on the
Saturday.
The Toowoomba Swap Meet
will begin on Saturday, September
3 at 6am with admission being
$15.
Admission on Sunday, September
4 is $5 and fathers accompanied
by one of their children
aged 13 and under will be
admitted free.

Singers appreciate Heritage Bank grant
The Yackatoon Singers, a group within Crows
Nest Arts Council, are very appreciative of a grant
received from the Crows Nest Heritage Bank for
the purchase of a heavy duty carry case for their
new Yamaha digital piano.
The case will serve to protect the piano in
between group rehearsals, and will assist in
transporting the instrument safely to other venues
where the group performs.
Yackatoon means “happy place” and this
certainly applies to the group which gets together
for singing, fun, and friendship.
The singers meet every Wednesday evening in
the Crows Nest RSL-Community Hall from 7 to 9
where they rehearse a wide range of pieces from
traditional to modern. The group sings at events
such as ANZAC Day and Christmas Carols, and
also entertains at the Crows Nest Aged Care
Facility.
New members are always welcome at practises.
No audition is required to join the group which
caters for all levels of singing experience.

secretary, on 0409 728 976.
LIVING HISTORY with MAX and PAM BACON
Oakey State Wheat Board
depot pictorial
During the 1940s Stan Bacon engaged Ted
Mathies from Silverleigh to cart his wheat from
the farm at Greenwood to Oakey Wheat Dump.
Ted arrived at Stan’s farm on one occasion at 4pm.
Ted said, “If we hurry, I think I can get another
load to Oakey before the weighbridge closes at
5pm.
Stan’s brother-in-law, Arthur Jarvis was present,
and Stan assumed Ted would load one side of the
truck while the two smaller men would look after
the other side of the truck.
Ted was a big man and to Stan’s amazement
he suggested, “You two little blokes get up on the
truck and stack while I load.”
With the load complete Ted still had six miles to
cover to reach the Oakey weighbridge.
A three-bushel bag of wheat weighed 180
pounds (82 kg). Stan’s father, William Bacon had
delivered wheat on bullock wagons to Port Augusta
and Port Germain in South Australia during
the 1890s. In those days a 4-bushel bag of wheat
weighed 240 pounds (109kg). At Port Germain the
jetty was over a kilometre long.
Wheat was delivered to the sailing ships at the
end of the jetty by a little train.
Prior to the building of the jetty, the wheat was
delivered to the sailing ships in rowing boats. How
the world has changed.

two lumpers on the stack. On this day, one of the lumpers was Percy (Morris?) who was an
amateur wrestler. The wheat was kept off the ground with a floor of bull oak poles which are
visible on the ground. This huge shed belonged to the Australian Wheat Board and was built
about 1954 to store an oversupply of wheat. Farmers had finally caught up with the shortages
of supply following World War Two. Oakey businessman, Doug Peters, said he was only nine
stone when he worked as a wheat lumper.

TRC progresses future of Jondaryan Woolshed
DEVELOPING APPROPRIATE OPERATING MODEL
Toowoomba Regional Council has
committed to a further analysis of the
benefits and risks associated with a
variety of operating models for the
Jondaryan Woolshed.
The analysis will be presented at a
future meeting of the Environment and
Community Committee.
At its meeting on Tuesday, August
16, the council received the Jondaryan
Woolshed Operating Model Analysis
Report July 2022 and resolved to make it
available to the public.

and resources in getting the operating
Maclagan kindy's
major fundraiser
returns
Maclagan Windermere Kindergarten
The Maclagan Windermere Kindergarten is excited
to hold its major annual fundraiser after two
years of interruption.
The service will hold its cent sale on Saturday,
September 10, at the Maclagan Memorial Hall.
Teacher director Lisa Strohfeld said the fundraiser
was a tradition of the kindergarten nearly 50
years old.
“The last time we were able to hold this fundraiser
was back in 2019 before the pandemic,” she
said.
“This fundraiser helps us sustain the centre so
we can continue to help the families in the district,”
she said.
“We service a large area with families coming
from Cooyar, Kulpi and Kaimkillenbun. Without a
kindergarten in Maclagan, families would have to
travel quite a distance for child care.”
“In the lead up to the cent sale, we’re still welcoming
any donations. A local craftsmen has donated
a special knife for our auction.”
A special presentation has also been planned for
Mrs Strohfeld during the event in recognition of
her 15 years of service to the Maclagan Windermere
Kindergarten Association.
The doors will open at 5.30pm and the program
will include a multi-draw raffle, auction, food, bar
and more.
Entry is $10 per adult with two sheets of tickets,
lucky door ticket and supper. Children enter free.
Ticket calling is scheduled for 7pm. - Sean White
model right into the future.
“Council, in conjunction with the
Friends of the Jondaryan Woolshed and
other key stakeholders, is developing
an appropriate operating model for the
woolshed into the future,” he said.
“This is a big part of our community
and we want to make sure we get it right.
"We know the community has a
connection with the facility and want to
see it restored and open for use.
"However, a lot of work needs to take
place for this to happen and the cost to do
this is quite significant.
“As an interim measure, Council has
employed an on-site facilities manager.
There is still work to be done in
determining what the re-opening looks
like for visitors and the community.
“No decisions have been made to
move any displays at this point in time.
"While Council intends to review
the myriad of displays at the woolshed,
the priority to this point has been on
the operating model with a full and
comprehensive review of displays yet to
be undertaken.
“TRC looks forward to continuing
work in determining the best way

Visitors from across South East
Queensland for art trail
Artist from across the high country micro-region
opened up their studios last weekend for the
InStudio Art Trails’ showing.
Visitors travelled from Highfields through to
Crows Nest during the weekend’s trail where 35
artists had their work on display.
Now in its 11th year, the annual art event runs
over every weekend of August. This new format
was adopted after the success of 2021 trail.
InStudio Art Trail committee member Kerri
Seccombe said the weekend was a great success
for the involved artists.
“The weekend’s showing had people travel from
across South East Queensland to see the talent that
calls this part of the region home,” she said.
“Fortunately we have one more weekend of the
InStudio Art Trail this weekend with 12 artists
opening up their work space to the public.”
Artists open this weekend will display a wide
arrange of media from painting, sculpting, mosaics,
model making, glass art and more.

Emu Creek plane crash
Emergency services raced to an Emu Creek property on the
weekend after reports of a small aircraft crash.
Paramedics arrived at the Pierces Creek Road property after a
private plane clipped a tree and fell 10 metres on Saturday morning
at 8am.
The couple were able to safely get out of the plane before paramedics
arrived.
Both patients were taken to the Toowoomba Hospital with facial

Cost-saving generator inspected
at Wetalla
Inspections were made on the
new cost-saving generator project
for the Wetalla Wastewater
Reclamation Facility last week.
Toowoomba Regional Council
Water and Waste Committee
portfolio leader Councillor Nancy
Sommerfield and LGI CEO
Adam Bloomer inspected the
newly arrived generator for the
facility.
The new gas-fired generator
will use methane gas collected
from the Hermitage Road
landfill site to supply up to 70
per cent of the power to run the
wastewater plant.
Cr Sommerfield said it was
exciting to see the project take
the next step.
“This project began with discussions
during the 2012 to 2016
era where Cr John Gouldson
and myself raised the issue as a
potential opportunity for our region,”
she said.
“Since we started the test flaring
with LGI at the Toowoomba
Waste Management Centre
site in June 2020, the project
has been investigating the flow
of gas that could be reliably
sourced from the landfill cells
to run the generator. This testing
was required to determine the
appropriate size of the generator.
“Testing has proven the gas

field (Hermitage Road) can support
a 1000 kilowatt generator.
The generator was placed in
position at Wetalla earlier this
month with work now proceeding
on the final installation, electrical
connection and commissioning
of the unit.”
Cr Sommerfield said the
wastewater plant was the council’s
largest user of electricity in
the region.
“The council will mitigate the
effects of methane gas emissions
from the landfill while reducing
on fossil fuels to power our
Wetalla Water Reclamation Facility,
which is one of the council’s
highest energy users.”
LGI CEO Adam Bloomer said
LGI had been working closely
with the council, describing the
project as a win-win for both organisations.
“The site, on Hermitage Road,
has been flaring for the past couple
of years and has flared some
7.5 million cubic metres of landfill
gas so far which is a massive
reduction in emissions for the
council,” he said.
“The generator is expected to
be up and running in September,
it will be running a 1 megawatt
output initially with the potential
to do more in the future.”
Funding for this project has
been received under the Federal
Government Emissions Reduction
Fund for the carbon abatement
achieved through this contract.

During the last month, I have been fortunate to catch up with many
Highfields locals, including the new Chamber of Commerce President,
Sarah Mengel and I’d like to congratulate Sarah on her appointment
and wish her all the best.
In last month’s column, I highlighted the Parliamentary Estimates*
process. To say that I was underwhelmed by the responses received
from the Palaszczuk Government during Estimates Hearings is an
understatement.
I sit on the Transport and Resources Committee/Estimates Hearings
and in doing so, I was able to directly ask the Director-General for
Department of Transport and Main Roads about the planning and
corridor identification to the north-west Toowoomba for a second road
to Highfields.
My take on the response is that the Labor Government does not
care about the people of Highfields. A sum of $2.422 million has been
allocated to investigate a major new north-south transport corridor for
Toowoomba to address growing traffic problems stemming from the
New England Highway through to Toowoomba city, however…
the current suggested location and linkage is via Charlton and not
via Boundary Street.
I ask you, for those residents who today are caught in the congestion
of a morning and seeing lower speed limits along that Highway as well
as problems in and out of various schools, how does a link more than
15kms away help to alleviate these concerns?
Good planning will make an enormous difference to the community
going forward. I have been informed that consultation with key
stakeholder groups with transport needs will commence soon and if
the stakeholder consultation outcomes support the current location
and planning that, the Department will commence consultation with
potentially affected landowners.
If both stages of this consultation identify no significant barriers
to proceeding to corridor protection, then the Department intends to
protect the corridor by mid-2023.
Now is our time to ensure that the corridor is beneficial for our
growing area.
I am truly very humbled to be the representative of Toowoomba
North. This is a growing area
and Highfields, and surrounds,
is leading the charge with
developments and I intend to ensure
that we get a positive outcome for
the community.
Until next month,
Trevor

Oakey Show goes ahead this weekend
After being postponed from
its original date at the start of the
year, the Oakey Show will finally
welcome guests through the
gates this weekend.
The 114th Oakey Show will
open this Saturday with a new
program that has something for
all the family to enjoy.
With the outbreaks of
COVID-19 at the start of the
year, the Oakey Show Society
thought it would be best to postpone
its original March date.
Oakey Show Society publicity
officer Diane Marsh said it was
disappointing having to interrupt
the event’s usual scheduling but
the show society was glad they
could put an event together for
2022.
“Last year was one of our
largest shows we have held
and, with the delay this year, we
wanted to make sure there was
still something for local families
to enjoy,” she said.
This Saturday’s show differs
from former shows in that there
won’t be the usual sections that
are seen at an agricultural show.
“We’ve focused on putting
together a fun day filled with
entertainment for everyone to
enjoy,” Mrs Marsh said.
“Instead of our usual horse
section, we have organised a
T-Shirt Fun Day for horse and
pony riders of all levels to come
down have some fun.”
Even though the 114th Oakey
Show will be held in August,
Mrs Marsh said the annual
event would return to its original
scheduling in March next year.
“The Oakey Show is a community
event where rural and
urban families can come togeth-

MLA partners with Agcotech and University of Sydney to reduce methane
PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN AGCOTECH
AND THE UNIVERSITY
OF SYDNEY
Carbon neutrality is as much about
production as it is about reducing
methane output in cattle and sheep.
Both go hand in hand, where
new additional pasture technologies
increase profits, improving rumen
function and lowering greenhouse
gasses.
Meat and Livestock Australia and
Agcotech have formed a partnership
with the University of Sydney to
further develop pasture supplements
that deliver new mitigants that
directly suppress methane production,
while improving breeder
condition and weaning rates.
MLA are also continuing to
improve GHG accounting systems to
help red meat businesses demonstrate
a carbon neutral or low carbon status
at farmgate.
Managing Director at MLA,
Jason Strong said, “The partnership
between Agcotech and the
University of Sydney is one example
of an investment that aims to
bring profitable livestock methane
technologies to market through the
Emissions Avoidance Partnership.
“MLA is also leading the Environmental
Credentials for Australian
Grassfed beef project, in a
consortium with World Wildlife
Fund-Australia and the University of
Queensland. This project is funded
through the Federal Governments
Landcare Grant program ‘Smart
Farming Partnerships’.
“This investment will enable
grassfed beef producers to
demonstrate their environmental
credent-ials and reduce their
emissions to access market
opportunities and participate in
carbon neutral and low carbon
supply chains,” Mr Strong said.
Agcotech Chairman, Charles
Olsson believes the Australian Red
Meat industry is leading the world
in all classes of Environmental,
Social, and Governance policy, and
this newest collab between MLA,
The University of Sydney and
Agcotech, will potentially take the
red meat industry to a new level on
the international playing field.
“Australia has dominated the red
meat market with best practice on
farm welfare, and now looks forward
to repeating performance to achieve
CN 30. I fully support this huge goal,
and believe with the right motivation,
we can shift the red meat industry to
even higher levels of production and
control methane at the same time to
be the envy of the world,” Mr Olsson
said.
Agcotech already has two products
already released into the Australian
market, and one product released
into Asia. Various methodologies
exist for Australian farmers:
• A new energy supplement that
intends to meet ‘additionality’, under
the existing beef herd methodology
method. This method is classified to
reduce “’methane intensity’ aiming
at increasing liveweight gain during
dry seasons, allowing animals to be
turned off earlier: also aiming to
identify nonperforming breeding
cows allowing them to be shipped off
the property earlier, all adding up to
a reduced carbon footprint and more
productive herd.
• A direct abatement pasture
product that achieves a modest
carbon dioxide reduction in methane
produced by cattle, mainly for
southern regions in Australia (NSW
and below), while also improving
pasture digestibility. This method
will allow graziers to participate in a
Voluntary Carbon Market, offsetting
emissions against their footprint to
begin a pathway to Carbon neutrality.
It is hoped over the next 4 years,
this joint investment in new or
existing combinations of methane
mitigants combined with patented
feedblock technology, will allow
higher levels of direct methane
More rain predicted through to October
Favourable growing conditions for the winter season
have been predicted for most of Queensland. Those at
the recent ABARES Toowoomba conference were provided
with more details of the possibility of rainfall for
the August to October period.
A Bureau of Meteorology prediction shows much of
Queensland had more than an 80 per cent chance
of exceeding median rainfall. This included much of
Southern Queensland. The smaller areas were given at
least a 70 per cent chance of exceeding median rainfall.

The Australian livestock in-dustry has invested
in additional on-the-ground measures to further
support the Indonesian biosecurity response to foot
and mouth disease and lumpy skin disease.
Meat and Livestock Australia will provide
$1.3 million to fund an Indonesian FMD vaccine
support project for importers to purchase up to
600,000 vaccine doses for Australian cattle entering
Indonesian feedlots.
The vaccines will be admin-istered by importers
and funding provided on a cost recovery basis by

Harvey-Sutton, said this was another way that
the industry was helping provide security for
Indonesian importers.

“Providing assistance for vaccinations is a
practical measure that will help give importers
confidence and slow the spread of FMD,” Mr
Harvey-Sutton said.
“It will help allow Indonesian importers to
continue operating with fewer hurdles and build
on our years of partnership with Indonesian
industry.”
MLA Managing Director, Jason Strong, said
MLA would also be providing local expertise
and support via the Livestock Export Program
in-market team, who will provide updated
information and act as the link between industry
and government.
“This will help with consistent messaging
regarding policy and operational matters,
distribution of training materials and key
information to industry, and coordination of
Australia/Indonesia industry meetings and
updates,” Mr Strong said.
These measures are in addition to MLA’s
partnership with the Australian Government
to deliver a practical and comprehensive
biosecurity support program to Indonesia. As
part of the program, $2 million will be invested
over 18 months, providing technical and training
support to:
• Instil long term biosecurity capacity to
manage exotic diseases • Minimise disruption
to the live cattle trade • Build the Indonesian
Government’s confidence in their feedlot sector
to manage diseases to continue trade and food
security • Assist Indonesian smallholders to
manage and minimise disease spread.
Mr Strong said the program of investment
and activities would reduce the risk of FMD
incursion into Australia and protect the important
trading relationship with Indonesia.
“The Australian livestock industry is
committed to supporting Indonesia with its
disease suppression efforts,” Mr Strong said.
“Australia remains free of FMD. It is important
that government, industry, the supply chain and
the general public continue to work together to
keep it that way.
“We have successfully done this for over 100
years and industry and government are taking
practical steps to ensure that continues.”

CROWS NEST: August 17 - PWR Electrical
Afternoon resulted in a win for Ray Weis, Joe
McDonald and John Michelmore. In a close call for
second were Kerry Lovell and Brian Gleeson.
Many thanks to PWR for their support of lawn
bowls in Crows Nest. Onya Matt! The jackpot
didn’t go off. Next week could be your lucky week.
The result of the fifth round of the 2022 pennant
against West Toowoomba on Saturday, August 13,
was a washout because of the unreliable weather.
On Saturday , August 20, we played Drayton at
home. Those results will be in next week’s issue.
Members - Please keep an eye on the club
noticeboard for Crows Nest team selections each
week. Copies of the weekly home and away pennant
draw are available at the club.
August 11 - The Thrifty Thursday was won by
Roger Haldane and Ann McDonald. The colder
weather has depleted numbers of late, so why not
throw another jumper on and join the crew on a
Thursday arvo. It’s a good couple of hours' fun and
you’ll always be welcome.

FISHING
CABARLAH: There was a good roll-up at Somerset
Dam for the Cabarlah Fishing Club trip on August
13 and 14 despite the weather outlook being a
‘high percentage of rain’ for most of Saturday. The
forecast was pretty close to the mark with drizzle to
lunch time, followed by consistent rain for the next
few hours before clearing around 4 o’clock. The water
was still coloured from recent rain but everyone
stuck at it with a number of Jew fish being weighed
in by dark.
On Saturday night we enjoyed a barbecue.
Thanks to Jen for organising the tucker, to Andrew,
Bruce and Trevor on hot plate duties, and to Therese
and Merris on the buttering. The catch of the day for
most Bass, went unclaimed and the member’s draw
was won by Chris.
On Sunday there was heavy fog early followed by
lovely sunshine. A couple more fish were weighed
in with Noel landing a cracker of a Yellowbelly at
4.10kg. The tally for the weekend was 22 fish - 21
Jew and one Yellowbelly. Therese caught the biggest
Jew at 1.33kg.
Ray’s In Between Trip on August 24 is now to
Cooby Dam. Meet at the boat ramp at 1pm.
The club’s September trip is to Coolmunda Dam
on September 10-11 and the October trip is to Copeton
Dam on October 1-3.
Note: The fishing rules are slightly different in
