Road in urgent need of repair
During my work commitments
recently, I travelled along
Genrich Road in Glenaven.
I was shocked to see the appalling
and dangerous condition
of this road. At several places
along the road, I had to come to a
complete stop before negotiating
the ruts that have been washed
out in the road over time.

Without doing this, my vehicle

I certainly have concern for
the residents along this road
who have to travel it daily but
my real concern is if the Emergency
Services were needed for
any reason, they would not be
able to negotiate the washed out
sections.

Defeated environment motion disappoints
Environmentally concerned
residents have expressed
their disappointment at the
Toowoomba Regional Council
voting against a proposed motion
to discuss environmental
protection.
TRC Planning and Development
Committee Portfolio Leader
Bill Cahill proposed a motion
at the council meeting on Tuesday,
October 25.
The proposed motion had
two components, one where the
council would hold an information
session in November on
available mapping showing area
of environmental significance.
The second part would see the
council hold another meeting in
January 2023 to discuss ways
environmental values could be
protected through the proposed
new Toowoomba Region Planning
Scheme.

Council plans to aid housing supply
Explore Create Get Pro Photos, people, or groups
Toowoomba Regional Council’s
goal to reduce regulations
to aid new housing supply has
taken a further step.
After submitting plans for
a Temporary Local Planning
Instrument 01/2022 - Housing
Assistance Measures to the
State Government, Planning and
Development Committee Chair
Cr Megan O’Hara Sullivan said
the council had further refined
the document to address matters
raised by the State Government.
“We have been in discussions
with representatives of the
development industry for a long
time now about what measures
the council can take to simplify
and speed up the approval
process for new housing across
the Region,” Cr O’Hara Sullivan
said.
“These discussions have
centred on how we can reduce
the level of regulation
applying to the creation of
additional housing in greenfield
development areas on the fringe
of Toowoomba City, as well
as stormwater solutions for
sites in existing urban areas
making them more feasible
for development, to assist
in addressing housing stress
currently being experienced
within the Toowoomba Region.
“While the longer term
plan will be to progress a
new Planning Scheme for the
Toowoomba Region, with this
piece of work expected to be
ready by 2025, we know we
Region had recently seen loss of
green infrastructure to make way
for urban development in Highfields.
“The Highfields community
has made it clear to the council
that this loss is unacceptable
and demanded that measures be
taken to prevent such loss from
occurring again,” he said.
“I brought it forward to highlight
not just to staff but to the
community that this is of significance
and the timing of the new
planning scheme is approved in
2025 is a considerable length of
time.”
Opposition to Cr Cahill’s proposal
argued that the motion was
redundant with one information
session already scheduled for
the following day and another
in January to discuss the same
matter.

Bypass eastbound closure
The eastbound lanes of the Toowoomba Bypass, between the Warrego
West interchange at Charlton and the Warrego East interchange
at Helidon Spa, are closed to through traffic for at least until this
coming weekend.
The eastbound lanes between Boundary Street interchange and
the Mort Street interchange will remain open.
The westbound lanes of the Toowoomba Bypass are not affected
and remain open to all traffic.
The closure is a safety precaution due to movements detected in a
cutting east of the New England Highway.
Geotechnical consultants have been monitoring the cutting since
last year’s wet season to enable a redesign and reconstruction of the
cut.
After heavy rain this month, further movement was detected.
We are anticipating further rainfall, and there is a risk material
may fall onto the eastbound lanes.
All eastbound traffic on the Toowoomba Bypass will be required
to exit at the Mort Street interchange at Harlaxton.
Eastbound traffic on the Warrego Highway will not be able to
enter the Toowoomba Bypass at the Warrego West interchange at
Charlton.
Northbound traffic on the Gore Highway will be directed off the
Toowoomba Bypass at the Warrego West interchange at Charlton to
detour through Toowoomba.
Works to repair the cutting are scheduled to start early next year.
QLDTraffic will be kept up to date with traffic impacts and changes
on the Toowoomba Bypass at the cutting.
need to do something sooner
than this which is why we’ve
progressed with a TLPI.
“We’ve listened to the concerns
of our community and have
proposed the TLPI as we believe
it could provide shorter-term
assistance for the development
industry to provide residential
lots and housing products in a
shorter time frame.
“This move will create a
simpler, shorter and lower-risk
process for the development of
land with access to existing or
planned infrastructure.
On May 22 at 5:00 PM PDT Flickr will be unavailable for maintenance. Learn more here.
“The proposed TLPI was sent
Back to album
to the State Government with the
council having since received
feedback on adjustments needed
to meet their requirements.
“The changes have now been
made to address the matters
raised by the State Government
with the proposed TLPI now in
the process of being sent through
for Ministerial approval.
“Following the review
we’re hoping to have a swift
turnaround so these changes
can be implemented for our
community.”

made with the council’s
information sessions, the
aim had already been achieved.
The motion was lost six to

Queensland Darling Downs convenor
Scot McPhie said it was
disappointing to hear the council
vote the motion down at last
week’s meeting.
“The council has deferred
from any tree protection laws
until after the next election, so in
my opinion they have abrogated
their responsibility to do something
about it now,” he said.
“Two-and-a-half-years is too
long for the tree protections that
we need.”

“We were scheduled to have a
meeting the next day to be presented
with the mapping so we
know what we’re dealing with.
"In January we’re taking that
to a policy level and working out
how we deal with it as a policy.
“The staff had said to us that if
we try to do things quickly and
on the run, we wouldn’t have
something very thorough.”
Mr McPhie said that the council
had ensured implementing
tree protection laws was going
to be an election issue at the next
local government election.
“We’re certainly going to
keep up the fight to see that we
get adequate tree protection laws
in Toowoomba.” - Sean White

State QCWA celebrates 100 years in Toowoomba
FOUNDED in TOOWOOMBA by RUTH FAIRFAX
Members from branches of the Queensland
Country Women’s Association made their way to
Toowoomba to celebrate the organisation’s history
on the weekend.
The QCWA Darling Downs Division hosted the
Exhibition of Creative and Practical Arts at the
Toowoomba Goods Shed on Saturday and Sunday.
A host of demonstrations and exhibits showcasing
the QCWA’s handy work were on display to
visitors.
Event organiser Phoebe Mitchell said it was
fantastic to see visitors come through the doors
and show their support for the QCWA.
“We worked on this event for the past 12 months
and wanted to show the community that there is
more to the QCWA than meets the eye,” she said.
“This weekend’s exhibition has all the other
elements the QCWA encompass with its Country
Kitchens Program, international studies, ag-studies,
advocacy and more.
“We’re also celebrating 100 years of the organisation
andhave centred the event on that.”
The weekend’s exhibition saw many visitors
from QCWA branches across the country who
had made their way to Toowoomba to attend this
week’s State Conference.
QCWA Darling Downs Division Lesa Bradshaw
said there had been a steady stream of people
making their way to the venue over the weekend.
“We have also seen a few younger people walk
through the doors to see what the QCWA is about,”
Mrs Bradshaw said.
QCWA State President Sheila Campbell said
Phoebe and the Darling Downs Division had done
a fantastic job organising the exhibition.
“The reason why we chose Toowoomba for
the State Conference is because the QCWA was
founded in Toowoomba by Ruth Fairfax 100 year
ago,” she said.
“This weekend has been a great demonstration
of celebrating 100 years of the QCWA.”
Mrs Mitchell said the event wouldn’t have
been possible without the help of the Toowoomba
Regional Council and the community.

Council calls for meeting over pipeline
Toowoomba Regional Council is seeking immediate discussions
before making a decision on the State Government’s proposed
Toowoomba to Warwick Pipeline project.
Mayor Paul Antonio said it was crucial to have a conversation with
the State Minister for Regional Development and Manufacturing
and Minister for Water, senior representatives of the State
Government and the Southern Downs Regional Council to remove
any ambiguity from all sides of the table.
“This is a massive decision for all of us which is why we’ve
called for an urgent meeting," Cr Antonio said.
“I’ve already reached out to the Minister and am optimistic we
can arrange a meeting as soon as possible on this matter.
“While we know what our requirements are for the Toowoomba
Region, a decision from Southern Downs Regional Council
has made it clear we need to gain further understanding of their
requirements for this proposed pipeline.
“We’re seeking to understand the intentions and implications of
the details listed in the decision from Southern Downs.
“We have a good relationship with our neighbouring council
so it’s about coming together to get clarity before we make a final
decision.
“At the end of the day, we appreciate Southern Downs is seeking
the best outcomes for their constituents and we will be doing the
same thing for Toowoomba Regional Council.
“There is no doubt there are positive opportunities for us from
this proposed pipeline, such as connecting our southern towns to the
Toowoomba Bulk Water Supply.
“However, there will be significant investment required so we
need to get the best possible deal for our community.
“It’s about ensuring our residents aren’t negatively impacted in
any way.”
At the Toowoomba Regional Council special meeting on
October 26, the council made the following decision: That this
matter be deferred to a future special meeting of council, pending
urgent discussions with the State Government Minister as a result
Pipeline to Southern Downs - a massive decision for all of us
of a relevant decision made by Southern Downs Regional Council
today that, if accepted by the State, does not achieve the following
principles in relation to the project:
• The project must not adversely impact or worsen Toowoomba
Regional Council’s water security position
• There must be no adverse financial impacts on Toowoomba
Regional Council as a result of the project
• That all parties achieve an equal financial benefit.

The session is aimed at providing
participants with insights

This will include the business
landscape, requirements for export
and post COVID-19 market

Council safety upgrades for two dams
Microbes in the garden:
Friend or foe?
We may not realise it, but the
soil in our gardens is full of microbes
- bacteria, fungi and nematodes,
for example.
Some of these can wreak havoc
on the plants, while others
help them thrive.
At the next Friends of Peacehaven
Tavern Talk, guest speaker
Tim Clewett will reveal a few
of the mysteries of these tiny
organisms.
He will show us what we can
do to help the beneficial ones do
their job while managing those
that make gardening problematic.
Tim is a soil microbiologist
with a long career in agricultural
research connected with the
wheat industry.
He also has a farm at Geham,
where for over 40 years he and
his wife have grown garden
plants for sale. Tim says one of

Grandparents Day at Kulpi school
Monday, October 17, was
a special day at Kulpi State
School when the students had a
visit from some of their favourite
people.
The school population more
than doubled when grandparents,
great grandparents, honorary
grandparents, special neighbours
and friends joined with
the students for a morning of
activities and food to celebrate
Grandparents’ Day.
The children loved sharing
their classrooms, schoolwork
and the library with their visitors,
but the highlights were
the photobooth and doing the
Chicken Dance and Hokey Pokey.
Everyone had a great time and
we heard “we can’t wait until
next year” from students and
grandparents alike.
“Grandparents make the
world a little softer, a little kinder,
and a little warmer.” - Unknown

Jacaranda Day
Goombungee Art and Cultural
Enterprise in conjunction with
the Rosalie Shire Historical Society
celebrates master model
maker Rob Prentice’s new exhibition
A Moment in Time at
the Museum in Goombungee
during this week’s Jacaranda
Day celebrations.
Mr Prentice’s exhibition in its
new space at the museum sits
well amongst historical vehicles
and artefacts from the district.
Back in sixth class at school,
Mr Prentice made his first model
using rudimentary tools and
went on to win first prize for a
model of a coach.
Also in his younger days he
worked a farm with his father
in NSW before leaving at 25 to
start his own building company.
He was self-taught: the first
building he built was a woolshed
for his father.
Mr Prentice and his lovely
wife Lin planned a hobby for
their retirement that resulted in
their one-twelfth scale models
of early Australian life being
sought after all over the world.
They spent more than 20
years travelling around Australia
researching and measuring wagons
and horses.
Some pieces in the exhibition,
like the wheat harvester, have
never been modeled by any other
model maker.
When Mrs Prentice passed
away and with the onset of the
Corona virus, Mr Prentice was
challenged by his friend to complete
the unfinished works and
exhibit his private collection.
This is the first time that several
new pieces of his private
collection will be exhibited.
Mr Prentice said preparing for
the exhibition gave him a reason
to be in his shed, to finish some
of the unfinished pieces started
long ago and a way of filling his
days during the lockdowns.
A Moment in Time gives a
snap shot of early Australian
rural life in one-twelfth scale, to
relive the romance of Cobb and
Co. coach travel, horse drawn
vehicles and Sunday tennis and
more.
Each intricate piece is an authentic
to scale model of the
original; each part is masterfully
reproduced in wood, metal,
leather, resin, cloth and cane.
There are more than 20 fully
harnessed horses in the collection
and more than 30 period
dressed figures.
Mr Prentice is well known
in the Highfields district for his
community involvement and
contribution.
He is a former Highfields Australia
Day Citizen of the Year
and a proud Lions Club member.

New owner and new name for iconic Goombungee cafe
After working Goombungee’s

Belinda took over the business
in March, rebranding the
business to Sip Café & Takeaway
where she and her team
continue to serve great food.
“Having worked here for
more than five years, I loved
the place and the community,
so when the business came up
for sale, I had to have a go,” she
said.
“Owning my own cafe has
given a sense of satisfaction seeing

than a good feed.”
Sip Café & Takeaway is
one of the latest businesses in
Goombungee that have had new
ownership come on board, reinvigorating
the local business
scene.
Belinda said she believed this
change of hands of local businesses
saw an increased involvement
with local community.
“Everybody who has taken up
these local businesses are local
people who want to see the community
thrive,” she said.
In the lead up to this Saturday’s
Jacaranda Day, the team is
preparing to welcome crowds to

Denise and husband Ron Iseppi purchased
Goombungee Post and Presents from the previous
owners Christine Ambrose and Glyn
Robinson on May 3 and dhr says it has been
a great opportunity to preserve local history.
“When Goombungee Post & Presents came
on the market, we saw it as an opportunity for
a change for Ron and myself,” Denise said.
“Christine had done such a good job with
the shop, so to take that on and run the post office
was a big task but it has been a great way
to connect with the local community.”
The Goombungee Post Office opened in
1895 and has been in its current position since
1912 when it was a post office with a telephone
exchange.
BACK TO BASICS
“There is a lot of history with the Goombungee
Post Office with this building being
here for more than 100 years,” Denise said.
“I would hate for something to happen with
the original building, so being able to take on
the business is an opportunity to preserve a
part of Goombungee’s history.”
Goombungee Post & Presents will be open
this Jacaranda Day for all postal, banking, stationery
or other needs.

Jacaranda Day
It’s all about local history
HISTORY - ART - CULTURE - ENTERTAINMENT - FOOD - DRINKS
WE’LL HAVE IT ALL ON SATURDAY
Whether it is sweltering heat
or driving rain, or anything in
between, the community of
Goombungee is hard at work
preparing for the 2022 Jacaranda
Day Festival on Saturday.
Denise Iseppi, president of the
festival organising group, Rosalie
Shire Historical Society, describes
the day as a celebration
of the historic events, buildings
and groups which built this town
and its sense of community.
“This year, festival themes
bring focus to the centenary of
the Queensland CWA, and the
125 th anniversary of the Pioneer
Arms Hotel,” explains Denise.
“Of the five hotels that have
operated in this town, the Pioneer
Arms is the only one that
hasn’t burned down. It’s been
the place where people have
gathered to share their experiences,
good and bad, through
five generations.
“And, since the formation
of the CWA a century ago, that
organization has been a driving
force for women, families and
community wellbeing across
Queensland and Australia.
“So, this year, the focus is on
Spring Garden
these two organisations with two
half-hour street shows tracing
the stories of both the Pioneer
Arms Hotel and the CWA in
song and verse. The shows will
each be presented twice in the
main street throughout the day.”
Continuing the historic focus
is a world premiere exhibition,
A Moment in Time by renowned
model artist, Rob Prentice at the
Museum on George Street.
Rob’s work is fascinating
in its detail in presenting scale
models of horse and bullock
drawn transport of the region.
The exhibition will also open
on Sunday for those who either
cannot make it to Saturday’s festival
or those who just want another
look at this intricate work.
There are also other exhibitions
spread right up and down
the main street.
Steaming on the Downs are
presenting a standing display of
working traction and steam engines.
“These machines were the
first tractors,” explains Nick
Geraghty of Steaming on the
Downs.
“They were formative in

building the agricultural industries
of the Darling Downs”.
The steam engines will also
join more than thirty other historic
and vintage vehicles in the
street parade.
Museum Open & Food Available til 2pm
“The historic vehicle parade
is Denise
the highlight of the day,” says
“People come from all over to
see this amazing spectacle from
years gone by.”
There will be three art exhibitions,
one by the Oakey Art
Group at the Goombungee Hall,
another by local artist Isaya Sikwatta
at gallery GCC and one
featuring local artists at the Rosalie
Gallery.
Artist Alex Stalling will present
an open and live exhibition
of chalk art outside Rosalie Gallery
complemented by a series
of pre-designed and blank chalk
boards for people to contribute
their own artistic expressions.
St Matthews Lutheran Church
and St Colmans Catholic Church
will both offer self-guided tours
and Aspire Dance Academy will
perform Ballet on the Green.
An electronic presentation
of the winning entries in the
Australia Post, one of the many Goombungee businesses
participating in the parade
share it,” says president Denise.
And of course, a feature of
that main street are the Jacaranda
trees, many of which will be
decorated especially for the day.
And if La Nina decides to
come visiting?
“We have wet weather contingencies
planned,” smiles Denise.
The Jacaranda Day Festival
begins at 8am this Saturday in
Mocatta Street, Goombungee.

Jacaranda Day
First hotel celebrates 125 years
Tom Gaslevich and the team
at the Pioneer Arms Hotel is inviting
everyone to come and celebrate
125 years of licensing for
the Goombungee establishment
during this weekend’s Jacaranda
Day.
The Pioneer Arms Hotel was
the first and only hotel left in
Goombungee, was built by William
Lovejoy in 1895 and licensed
in 1897.
Mr Gaslevich became the
latest licensee of a long list of
publicans for the Pioneer Arms
Hotel in late December 2021.
“A lot of small country town
pubs play a major part in their
community as a hub and that’s
no different for the Pioneer Arms
Hotel and Goombungee,” Mr
Gaslevich said.
“I grew up in the area, being
here for 35 years and every
Friday night you didn’t have to
phone your neighbors or friends
because you knew they would be
at the pub.”
This Saturday’s Jacaranda
Day, the Pioneer Arms Hotel
will have a range of activities for
all ages to enjoy.
“We have Neon Moon performing
live music from noon to
4pm and a children’s section on
the verandah doing face painting
and making fairy floss,” Mr Gaslevich
said.
The Pioneer Arms Hotel will
serve lunch from 11am through
to 4pm while also hosting a beer
truck around the back with five
additional taps.
Mr Gaslevich said becoming
the hotel’s latest licensee and a
part of its history was a dream

President Anne Wardill said the branch had
been involved with the community since its
inception in 1945.
“We support the community in various ways
such as giving local children scholarships to
help with their schooling or helping those in
need whenever we can,” she said.
“One of the aims of the QCWA is to be involved
with the community and Jacaranda
Day is a fantastic time of year where everyone
comes together.”

Oakey exhibition celebrates 50 years of visual arts
As clouds parted and rain
stopped on the afternoon of October
23, art enthusiasts assembled
at the Stanley Street Studio
in Oakey to celebrate the work of
visual artistes, and mark Oakey
Art Group’s 50th anniversary.
Oakey Creek and Arthur
Shooter Park provided the perfect
backdrop for the opening of
the group’s exhibition.
In his address to the gathering,
Club President Howard
Wetzig welcomed the guests to
the celebrations and shared some
of Oakey Art Group’s journey
spanning five decades.
The story began with a handful
of passionate locals who met
at art classes in the Toowoomba
Technical College.
Eventually these students envisioned
the benefits of exploring
and mastering artistic techniques
in their hometown and
pursued their shared dream of
forming an art group in Oakey.
Toowoomba Adult Education
assisted them by organising a tutor
to come to Oakey fortnightly
to provide tuition in classrooms
at Oakey State School.
"On July 25, 1972 the group
held it’s first meeting attracting
26 members by the end of that
year.
In 1981 the group began to
meet in a cottage on McDonald
Street and this continued until
plans for a new Council complex
and Cultural Centre were adopted
by Jondaryan Shire Council
and the site was cleared to make
way for construction."
The art group had to find a
new home. In 1994 they moved
into their purpose built studio
in Stanley Street, and despite
droughts and floods, it has become
a very comfortable and
well equipped facility.
“In 1989 our group conducted
our first ‘live in’ seminar at Perseverance
Dam.
"These annual seminars continued
until Covid struck. We
have now moved to holding
more workshops on weekends at
our Studio, and bringing tutors
to Oakey,” Howard said.
“We run bus trips to art exhibitions
and galleries throughout
south east Queensland, and
have taken tours to places such
as Magnetic Island and Central
Australia to provide inspiration
to our artists.”
“We owe much to the many
volunteers over the years who
kept this group going well, encouraging
people to share their
tuition experiences with others,
and taking care of our studio.”
Oakey Art Group has been
holding exhibitions of their
members’ work since their inaugural
display in Oakey State
High School’s Assembly Hall in
1975.
Venues have varied over the
years and included Oakey Cultural
Centre, Toowoomba Regional
Gallery, Darling Downs
Potters Group, Rosalie and
Hampton Galleries.
“Our art group has supported
Oakey’s Show Society for many
years, and Oakey Historical Museum
Society at various times.
"We have also supported
community events and celebrations
including the Bicentenary
in 1988, Carnival of Flowers,
and marked the 25th and 40th
anniversaries of our group,” Mr
Wetzig added.
As Oakey Art Group Patron,
Andrew Langton, officially
opened the weeklong exhibition,
he congratulated group
members on their impressive
history of achievement and the
way in which they have fostered
and encouraged artistic pursuits
throughout the district for fifty
years.
A celebratory cake was cut
by long serving Art Group stalwarts
Mesdames Glenda Fuller,
Ros Mason and Carole Wieck as
the crowd enjoyed light refreshments
in the gallery.
Ros Mason and Kathy Brown welcome visitors
EVERYDAY SCIENCE with JAMES MCKAY
Increase in
atmospheric
vapour
Scientists from Australia’s
national science agency, the
CSIRO, say global atmospheric
water vapour is increasing.
Satellites, weather balloons,
and ground measurements all
confirm that water vapour is increasing
by one to two percent
every decade.
This increase is a direct result
of global warming.
A warmer planet means higher
daily evaporation because
warmer air has the ability to
hold more moisture.
The increase in evaporation
means droughts are becoming
severe but the extra air moisture
put into the air means that when
the rain does fall, it has the potential
to be higher.
A warmer planet therefore
leads to more extreme weather
ABOVE: Julie Sweeney, Hampton, chose Release by
Rebecca Brownsdon for her home gallery. RIGHT: Margaret
Loiterton explores the exhibition
events including more severe
droughts, and more flooding.
The law of thermodynamics
tells us that for every degree of
global warming, there will be a
seven per cent increase in atmospheric
water vapour.
According to a recent study
(Proceedings of the National
Academy of Sciences, 2022) an
increase in atmospheric energy
is also occurring.
So we can expect to see more
storm acivity.
While previous ice ages and
warm periods have occurred in
the past (from natural causes)
the earth has historically not
warmed this rapidly.
Every scientific organisation
says the primary cause of global
warming is the burning of fossil
fuels.

Stanbroke wins best beef award for third year
Beef producers Stanbroke has won the prestigious
Beef Battle in Toowoomba for the third consecutive
year.
The Stanbroke organisation produces the Diamantina
Wagyu branded beef for Australia and
numerous export markets, and was taste tested by
an expert judging panel of six, and then judged by
400 guests in a Toowoomba events centre.
Their combined score placed the Stanbroke beef
ahead of seven other branded beef offerings from
Darling Downs feedlots and some in nearby areas.
Chefs, including Meat and Livestock Australia
Corporate Chef Sam Burke from Sydney, served
the eight premium steaks to the 400 diners at
Toowoomba Turf Club who recorded their scores
electronically.
They rated the beef in terms of flavour, tenderness,
flavour intensity, juiciness and overall personal
liking.
The Beef Battle event is growing in its prestige
for the branded grain feed product.
The contest was developed by Toowoomba and
Surat Basin Enterprise and the first event in 2018
was won by Oakey based NH Foods.
Rangers Valley at Glen Innes won the 2019 battle,
but the champion in 2020, 2021 and now 2022
has been Stanbroke.
The other competitors this year, along with
Stanbroke, Rangers Valley, and NH Foods, were
JBS Australia; Mort & Co; NAPCO; Stockyard
Beef; and The Grove Premium Australian Beef.
Their premium brands have strong Wagyu content.
Stanbroke has a processing facility in Grantham,
the Bottletree feedlot in Chinchilla, seven
properties in the Gulf area, and backgrounding
properties at Chinchilla, Dalby and Wandoan.

Record numbers of students learn about agriculture
More high school students than
ever before are learning about
agriculture at Moo Baa Munch,
with double the number attending
the AgForce organised event at
Downlands College in Toowoomba
last week.
Wet weather knocked-out what
would have been a record primary
school day last Wednesday, but on
Thursday more than 500 high school
students from 11 schools attended.
That’s twice the normal number
of secondary students of about 250.
Students were from Highfields,
Dalby (two schools), Allora,
Kingaroy, Warwick, and five from
Toowoomba.
AgForce held its first Moo Baa
Munch at Downlands in 2010, and
it has been held at Downlands
ever since. About a dozen learning
sites, corporate and government,
are visited by the school groups in
rotation throughout the day.

by the Australian Government’s
Educating Kids about Agriculture
Initiative, and the secondary day
by the Queensland Department of
Employment, Small Business and
Training’s Agribusiness Schools
Engagement Program.
AgForce’s SIPP Coordinator
Tanya Nagle said so many
Australians describe their connection
with agriculture as distant or nonexistent,
and Moo Baa Munch has
never been more relevant than it is
now in connecting school students
of all ages with agriculture.

Although both pro shops sold lots of golf balls
and refreshments, Brett McDonald takes out this
year’s most golf balls lost by losing 20 golf balls
over the two days.
The leader board has now tightened up with P.
Morgan and A. Palmer on 34 points with W Bostock,
L Bartley and S Gillis on 30 points and Sandra
Lucht in her first year playing sitting on 28
points along with JB.
Next’s weekends game is single stroke on the
front nine with a 6.30am tee off.
Thanks to everyone for making the coast trip
enjoyable again. - Flynny and Macca
