Gundiah Community benefits 

from Helping Hands 

Helpers from the Church of 

Jesus Christ of Latter-day 

Saints get together with 

Gundiah to fix up and clean 

up their local hall. 

Helpers outnumbered locals and were 

aged from 8 to 70-something as they 

worked to possum-proof eaves, replace 

floorboards, mend benches, neaten the 

garden and clean hall walls, kitchen 

cupboards and storerooms. 

David Carney, recently elected president 

of the Gundiah Hall said the help 

was much appreciated as the old hall is 

in need of much fixing. “We have only a 

small group of members so far, and we 

really appreciate the extra man hours to 

get things moving.” 

The Gundiah Hall was built in 1922 and 

celebrates its 90th birthday in November 

this year. It has had a few years of 

neglect, a condition the newly formed 

committee wishes to rectify. They have 

quite a job ahead of them but are starting 

with repainting the interior after 

recent record flooding warranted insurance 

payments to the fact. The working 

bee by locals and the church group 

was the first step in achieving this end. 

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter 

-Day Saints participates in ‘community 

service’ projects on a semi-annual basis 

and was only too pleased to have 

this project suggested to them. Church 

members came from the greater Gympie 

area and brought tools and offered 

lots of elbow-grease to get the jobs 

done. “It is great to offer our skills and 

manpower in a situation like this,”said 

Bishop Brett Woolley. “It is great experience 

for our families and being able to 

achieve something good on top of that 

for the Gundiah Hall is the bonus.” 

Handy Hire in Maryborough donated 

the painters trestles free of charge. 

The Gundiah Hall Secretary said, “It was 

good to feel that someone else cares 

about our little hall besides us. It is good 

to see the community spirit increase in 

our local community too. We have some 

good eggs around here who are always 

willing to lend a hand.” SGK

GUNDIAH COMMUNITY INCORPORATE 

Good day readers! Time sure flies when 

one is supposed to be retired. They told 

me it was easy–just go fishing when you 

want. So last Saturday, we did just that. 

Two of my mates and I took the boat 

down to Petrie Park and 4 hours later 

one catfish was the catch of the day. 

I’m wondering if Landcare Marilyn has 

asked all the Mary River Turtles to advise 

the fish to hibernate until the fishing 

competition on 27/28 October... if that’s 

the case then I might have to fish then. 

Annual Baiting. On the advice of Col 

Zemek, FCRC Pest officer, we should 

bait again in February as well as September. 

Pauline K was upset this year 

as she lost 4 mature geese and one calf, 

which based on the evidence, was a dog 

pack. I had 16 baits taken in 48 hours. 

Myles Long. It was not good to hear 

of district legend Myles Long’s tragic 

tractor accident. Our thoughts go out 

to Marion and her family. It is also a reminder 

to us all on the land that machinery 

has no feelings, so treat with care. 

Croquet. Jean and her team are playing 

Croquet each Sunday on the grounds 

and if you fancy playing or learning the 

basics ring Jean or Geoff on 41293293 or 

just turn up on Sunday morning. Look 

out for a day coming up with the Maryborough 

Club professionals. 

Yolande Bromet. On behalf of all of 

the community I take this opportunity 

to say a few words of thanks to a brave 

young lady, who with her family’s backing, 

saw a new future for Bauple and has 

put it on the map again, as did ‘Mary 

the Fairy’ for years until her retirement. 

Yolande promoted the Hinterland Markets 

against some locals trying to saboutage 

such, she promoted the Men’s 

Shed, she promoted the Museum and 

directed busloads of visitors to the museum 

from her nut cracking demonstrations. 

Her family brought the Doctor to 

town and the specialists to the purple 

building. I say to you Yolande, don’t give 

up on your ambitions, you are what this 

country needs, the knockers will just 

fade away as they always have and always 

will. 

Bus Trip–Saturday October 6th is 

our annual bus trip! We are heading to 

Caboulture Heritage Village via the Hinterland, 

$5, ring Pauline on 41292504 for 

further details. Trevor Keightley, President 

THE GUNDIAH GAZETTE PAGE 3 OCTOBER 2012

Myles Stratford Long 1936-2012. The Gundiah Rural Fire Brigade 

wish to extend our condolences 

to Marion & Family on the sad 

passing of Myles Long. 

On Saturday 8th September 

saw the passing of a local legend 

known by all in the past 

Tiaro Shire. 

Myles was 75. He was born 21st September 

1936 and raised on the family 

farm at Chatsworth, attending the local 

school till year 7. At age 14 he started his 

working life as a bean picker on Keith 

Allen’s farm, then moved to his sister 

Betty’s farm at Mulgeldie near Monto 

to work in the local Saw Mill. He then 

took on a new job at Cooroy Saw Mill 

for a few years, returning to Chatsworth 

to work on the family farm with his 

brother Harry. 

He met Marion at a local dance in 1958 

and they were married on 28th March 

1959. For a couple of years they managed 

a farm at Chatsworth owned by 

Marion’s parents, later buying the farm 

at Bauple/Gootchie where they have 

lived for the past 48 years. For many 

years they grew a variety of small crops 

and employed people to pick at harvest 

time. 

Myles was an active member in a number 

of local organizations: from 1985 till 

Pictured above left: Myles Long. 

Above: Tiaro Shire Councillors 2006, Myles 

Long is pictured 2nd front row on left.. 

2008 was a councilor in the Tiaro Shire 

until amalgamation and in 2004 he became 

deputy mayor. 

Mr Long was an active board member 

of Gunalda Fruit & Vegetable Growers 

Association, was also Glenwood Progress 

Association chairman and Bauple 

Band Hall secretary for five terms. 

Myles had been an active supporter of 

the Gundiah Rural Fire Brigade & Fire 

Warden since 2010. He was Chairman 

of the Brigade from 1997-2009 (12yrs) & 

Vice President from 1995-1997. 

Beside all their achievements Myles and 

Marion also established the Service Station 

and Store at Glenwood, until they 

sold the business in 2009 and retired at 

the age of 73. 

Myles leaves behind his wife Marion 

and their four children–Gary, David, 

and twins Sally & Wendy, their partners, 

seven grandchildren & three great 

grandchildren who will all miss him 

dearly. Rest in Peace Myles.

Strong future 

for Rural Firies 

The Minister for Police and Community 

Safety Jack Dempsey announced that 

the Newman Government and the Rural 

Fire Brigades Association of Queensland 

(RFBAQ) have agreed on initiatives to 

ensure rural volunteer firefighters are 

empowered and equipped to protect 

their communities into the future. 

“Under the agreed new model, there will 

be no closure of any Rural Fire Service 

(RFS) area offices,” Mr Dempsey said. 

“Unfortunately as a part of this process, 

there will be a reduction in the number 

of full time equivalent positions, but this 

will be limited to executive and administration 

areas, and will not take place 

until after the fire season in March 2013.” 

Mr Dempsey asked that the review of 

the RFS be completed by February 2013. 

“The RFBAQ and Minister for Police 

and Community Safety are both united 

in maintaining all Rural Operations Area 

Offices across Queensland,” Mr Garrahy 

said. “This allows Rural Fire Brigades to 

have support and certainty going into 

the worst bushfire season in more than 

40 years.” 

Mr Garrahy said that an earlier proposal 

to close Area Offices in areas such as 

Maryborough would not go ahead. 

“The RFBAQ believes that this puts Rural 

Fire Brigades on track for achieving 

a model that empowers Brigades to defend 

their communities not only from 

fire, but also from flood and cyclone.”

GUNDIAH STATE SCHOOL 

Gundiah P&C recently completed 

a year long bid to upgrade 

their school uniform to a sun safe 

and easy-clean option. 

The uniforms were received in time for 

the students to look exceptionally sharp 

in their school photo and for a recent 

bus trip to the Science Centre in Brisbane. 

The P&C used its hard-earned funds to 

give each child a new shirt free of charge. 

It has also recently donated $1000 to the 

library, $800 for the Science Centre bus 

trip, and $500 for sporting equipment. 

“We must thank the Prince Alfred Hotel 

for their support in our fortnightly raffles, 

and the tireless efforts of our parents 

who do tuckshop, organise raffles 

and contribute to our various fundraisers,” 

said P&C President Roslyn Sal. 

Gundiah State School has educated 

children in the Gundiah community for 

126 years with 15 students currently.

BPA represents Bauple, Forest View, Talegalla, 

Rossendale, and encompass the 

area through to the western border of 

Mt Bauple National Park. 

In 2010 The Bauple Vision Plan was 

formulated amongst the local community 

extensively and its results were referred 

to the Council for consideration. 

The Plan was approved and the strategy 

was then adopted by the Fraser Coast 

Regional Council. 1 

As we do not wish to see the community’s 

previous energy and input go by 

the wayside, one of the first jobs of the 

Progress Association is to revisit and realign 

these efforts with today’s schedule. 

Not Just Another Faction: The 

Bauple Progress Association is a notfor-profit 

association that desires to promote, 

advance and secure both Bauple’s 

unique and collective wellbeing for the 

imminent future… which will soon be 

today! We understand that it is essential 

for representatives from ALL groups 

and cultures existing within Bauple & its 

Districts to collaborate on an impartial, 

united front. We welcome to the membership 

opinions of groups and individuals 

equally that may be able to aide 

in any aspect of what it takes to promote 

progress in our Community. 

Membership is vital: Hoping to see 

an end to our fractured neighbourhood, 

and complaints that a fraction of voices 

are being heard, BPA intends to have 

quarterly meetings where your vote will 

be required to help liaise with the government 

on important issues that may 

affect all Bauple & its Districts’ residents. 

Without membership, your vote cannot

Nosh’s Book 

Launched 

Over 200 people attended the launch of 

‘All Aboard the Nutmobile’ at the International 

Macadamia Symposium held 

in Brisbane last month. ‘All Aboard the 

Nutmobile’ is a children’s picture book 

aimed at readers 4 to 8 years of age. 

Ian McConachie, chairman of the Macadamia 

Conservation Trust, introduced 

the book together with Em Horsfield, 

illustrator Glen Singleton and members 

of the Macadamia House team. 

“We’d like to say a big thank you to those 

involved as well as those who joined us 

in celebrating the launch,” said Macadamia 

House owner, Yolande Bromet. 

‘We are delighted with the response we 

have received to date, with one reader 

referring to the book as Dr. Suess meets 

an Aussie version of Thomas the Tank 

Engine!’, said Yolande. 

The book is also available for sale online 

at www.macadamiahouse.com so get 

on board and join Nosh and the gang 

on their great Aussie adventure. Nosh 

has his very own Facebook page. The 

book is expected in stores before Christmas, 

so if it’s not at your local book shop 

– ask why! Yalonde Bromet

This month’s Salute to the Diggers 

Herbert Arthur Snell 

Qx21253 PRIVATE – AUSTRALIAN ARMY 

Herbert (known as Arthur) was born 

31st March 1919 to Charles and Ethel 

Snell at Wooroolin, South Burnett. Arthur 

and his 6 brothers and sisters–Viv, 

Frank, June, Les, Muriel and Trea– had a 

happy hard working childhood on their 

farm. He attended the Kenilworth State 

School and later played cricket for the 

local team, worked at Kenilworth Sawmill 

and other farms in the district. 

Arthur enlisted in the Army at Gympie 

on 20th May 1941 at age 22 and was 

drafted to Singapore. He was taken 

prisoner at the prisoner-of-war camp 

at Moulmein Burma with his friend 

McGhie. He was being transferred on 

the prison ship Rakuyo Maru with 1300 

prisoners to Japan for labour work, when 

it was sunk by an American Submarine 

on the 13th September 1944 and many 

of the prisoners were drowned including 

Arthur. LEST WE FORGET 

Next month’s Digger will be Edward Gesch.

Cycle, kayak & fishing on Mary. 

It was inspiring to watch the 

Cycle Qld team build and operate 

the overnight city at the 

Tiaro Recreation Grounds. 

We take our hats off to the 900 + bike 

riders of all ages and sizes. Bus tours 

to Bauple and Petrie Park were popular. 

However we were overwhelmed 

by the interest in the guided kayak 

tour of the river. Two participants 

were over 70, such enthusiasm even 

after spending all morning in the 

bike saddle riding from Hervey Bay to 

Tiaro. Many local community groups 

benefited financially from their visit. 

Catch for fun & Release for the 

future fishing competition. Another 

opportunity to enjoy the river 

is at the Catch for fun & Release for 

the future fishing competition. Registration 

is only available on site. Petrie 

Park is the venue with free camping 

available for the weekend. At the moment, 

the river is low and clear and 

we are hoping for a great family fishing 

weekend. There will be Senior, 

Junior and Family prizes in numerous 

categories, so a great chance to take 

home some good quality prizes. Everyone 

who registers, goes into the 

lucky draw for $1,000 which will be 

drawn on Sunday afternoon at 1pm. 

The Borumba Fishing Club are coming 

up to run Learn to Fish lessons for 

juniors. These guys are experts at river 

fishing. Proceeds from the comp go 

towards assisting the two endangered 

animals of the river, the Mary River 

Cod and turtle.
