DAVID HACK CLASSIC 

A passion for classic cars and photography 

will be remembered on Sunday 

The David Hack Classic being held on Sunday 

is an annual event where warbirds and classic vehicles 

gather for a day as a fundraiser for the Leukaemia 

Foundation, Blue Care and other charities. 

It is organised by the Rotary Club of Toowoomba 

North and has run annually since 1999. This 

2018 event is its 20th Anniversary. 

The mix of aircraft and many different types of 

classic and military vehicles makes for a unique 

atmosphere for enthusiasts and the public. 

There are trophies for 20 categories, entertainment 

and food for the whole family. 

Who was David Hack? 

David Hack, 1970 - 1998, was a young man 

with a passion for photography and classic cars. 

He was a member of the Toowoomba South 

Rotaract club and award winning photographer 

and freelance contributor to national magazines. 

Diagnosed with non Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 

1996, David underwent aggressive cancer treatment 

of chemotherapy, radiotherapy and a bone 

marrow transplant. 

During his final weeks, David planned a 

big birthday bash for his 28th birthday at the 

Toowoomba Aerotec hangar with family and 

friends against a backdrop of classic and exotic 

cars and historic war planes. 

Unfortunately, David passed away two days before 

the event. 

John Freeman, long serving member of the Rotary 

Club of Toowoomba North, felt that the concept 

of the day should not be forgotten. 

The inaugural David Hack classic meet was 

held in 1999. The public choice trophy is presented 

each year in David’s memory by his mother, 

Anna.

Toowoomba Region 

LETTERS 

Reflecting on Anzac Day at Acland 

I would like to publicly thank 

all those who helped at Acland 

Anzac Day. 

For that moment in time we 

are all united as proud Australians 

who honour those who 

fought for our freedom. 

Anzac Day gives us time for 

reflection on what and who we 

are, each with our own private 

thoughts on what it means. 

Usually, my thoughts are with 

my dad and uncles but this year 

because of the stories told by the 

school children they receded and 

my mum and grandparents came 

to the fore. 

Both sets of grandparents had 

all their sons overseas during 

WWII. I was able to reflect on 

DAM LEVELS 

50.3% 

what they might have thought 

and how they coped. I guess my 

Mum wondered if she would 

ever get to marry her sweetheart. 

As I stood in the park at 

Acland I remembered my dear 

friend Chaseley who was forced 

to be the pay clerk when her 

brothers went to war. 

It was not the job she planned 

for herself. 

She would come on the train 

to Acland with bags of cash to 

pay the underground miners. 

In this material world where 

we worry about budgets and 

money, she was told by her father 

to hand over the cash if she 

was held up. 

War makes one realise what is 

important. Each year I have had 

a magic moment. 

I remember the one year when 

the school children talked about 

butterflies in the war when in 

flew masses of butterflies that 

danced around the children and 

the crowd. 

This year for me it was the 

special visitor who watched the 

service and the people from the 

tree top. 

The koala was an added bonus 

for many people. 

Great to see you all, the regulars 

and the new visitors and I 

look forward to seeing you again 

in 2019. 

Same time same place. Lest 

We Forget, - Merilyn Plant.

Passenger rail to Brisbane no longer just a pipe dream 

Fast passenger rail between 

Toowoomba and Brisbane has been a 

dream of many for a long time. 

But the Federal Budget last week 

might have kick-started it into reality. 

Mayor Paul Antonio said hidden in 

the small print of the Budget papers 

was an allocation of $15 million for a 

business case for the rail project. 

Passenger rail to Brisbane it seems 

had been listed as a project for 2041. 

But the possibility of South East 

Queensland hosting the Olympic 

Games in 2032 might have prompted 

an earlier start. 

Cr Antonio, pictured, said the 

announcement was a breath of fresh 

air because such an infrastructure 

project would be amazing. 

“Toowoomba was a wonderful place 

and to be able to travel to Brisbane in 

45 minutes could encourage people to 

live here.” 

Cr Antonio said he would be 

lobbying for a bigger tunnel through 

the Toowoomba Range for the inland 

rail project so it could accommodate 

two freight lines for the Inland Rail 

plus another line for fast passenger 

trains to Brisbane. The 6km tunnel 

is planned from Gowrie Junction 

to north of Withcott and will have a 

low gradient suitable for fast modern 

trains. 

The Mayor also noted the 

Federal Government will relocate 

the Department of Infrastructure, 

Regional Development and Cities 

Inland Rail Unit from Canberra to 

Federal Govt investing in regional Australia 

This Budget continues a commitment to build 

a strong regional Australia with extensions to 

community grants programs to invest directly 

in economic and social infrastructure which 

creates jobs and builds stronger regional 

communities. 

Following the success of the first round 

of the Building Better Regions Fund, which 

is delivering more than 250 projects across 

regional Australia and creating about 26,000 

jobs, a further $200 million has been allocated 

to deliver a third round of the program. 

Local knowledge is critical to successful 

community projects which is why the Stronger 

Communities Programme will be extended for 

a fourth round through a commitment of an 

additional $22.5 million. 

This program provides grants of between 

$2,500 and $20,000 to community organisations 

and Local Governments for capital projects, 

such as aged care facilities and community 

halls. 

Tree clearing 

I have a question for our 

council in regard to the new land 

clearing law passed in State Parliament 

on Thursday. 

Does that law only apply to 

farmers who produce our food 

and not to developers who produce 

housing estates which help 

to increase the polution? 

I am asking this due to an article 

in the Herald earlier this year 

regarding the development and 

road widening proposed for Reis 

Road at Highfields which will 

destroy a large number of trees 

and remove the habitat of the native 

animals that live there. 

If this development is allowed 

to go ahead, it makes a 

total mockery of the reasons the 

State Government used for the 

land clearing laws they passed. - 

Clive Bentley, Highfields. 

The commitment to practical and common 

sense decentralisation initiatives will continue 

to boost economic growth and provide 

more opportunities for secure, high-paying 

jobs outside the traditional public-service 

strongholds of Canberra, Melbourne and 

Sydney. 

Regional Australia has already directly 

benefited from this agenda with the successful 

relocation of the Australian Pesticides and 

Veterinary Medicines Authority to Armidale 

in New South Wales and Rural Industries 

Research and Development Corporation 

(now Agrifutures) to Wagga Wagga in New 

South Wales, and with the announcement the 

Regional Investment Corporation will be based 

in Orange, New South Wales. 

To build on this success, jobs from six 

Government entities will be relocated, 

including positions from the following: 

•The Office of the Registrar of Indigenous 

Corporations moving from Canberra to Darwin;

& NRL JERSEYS

•Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet

in Victoria and from the Sydney CBD to 

Parramatta in the city’s west; 

•The Unique Student Identifier Registrar 

moving from Canberra to Adelaide; 

•The Office of the National Rural Health 

Commissioner to be established in Adelaide; 

•Department of Infrastructure, Regional 

Development and Cities Indian Ocean 

Territories from Canberra to Perth; and 

•Department of Infrastructure, Regional 

Development and Cities Inland Rail Unit from 

Canberra to Toowoomba in Queensland, Dubbo 

in New South Wales and Wodonga in Victoria. 

The Government’s commitment to a 

decentralisation agenda is unwavering. In 

addition to the above, further significant 

announcements in relation to decentralisation 

will be made over the coming months. 

Toowoomba, Dubbo and Wodonga. 

The Australian Rail Track 

Corporation (ARTC) which is 

building the Inland Rail already has 

an office in Toowoomba. 

Cr Antonio said he was hoping the 

Budget also allocated funding for 

projects such as the reconstruction of 

two creek crossings in Toowoomba, 

one on James Street where people 

died during the 2011 flood, and also 

for a better road to Highfields.

For more than eight years Kim and Shelley Waters, pictured, 

have continued the tradition of baking fresh hand made pies at their 

Toowoomba store. 

J.Jaks Family Pies opened its doors in 2010 on the corner of 

Hume and Perth Streets after spending several years renovating the 

former convenience store. 

Owner Kim Waters said when he moved to Toowoomba 15 years 

ago, opening another pie shop was always on the agenda. 

“Our passion and the reason we wanted to get back into making 

pies is because baking fresh food has almost become a lost craft in 

today’s mass-produced world, we want to help keep the tradition 

alive,” he said. 

“We owned a pie shop is Bundaberg for quite a while before we 

moved to Toowoomba so we already knew what we were doing 

which helped a lot.” 

J.Jaks Pies also specialises in slices and cakes, including traditional 

apple turnovers and lamingtons for those with a sweet tooth. 

For opening hours visit their Facebook page. 

Rotary Bowelscan program 

Each year from May 1 until June 28 the Rotary Club of Toowoomba 

North distributes hundreds of Bowelscan kits across Toowoomba, 

Highfields, Kingsthorpe, Oakey, Pittsworth and Millmerran in 

their annual Bowelscan program. 

The Bowelscan kits can be bought at local pharmacies for $15 

which includes the test kit and pathology. This is a great deal and 

everyone over 40 should buy a kit. Bowel cancer is 90 per cent curable 

if detected early. 

Rotary Club of Toowoomba North distribute the Bowelscan kits 

as a community service only and the only gain for Rotary is knowing 

how many lives this program saves each year. Each year the 400 

kits sold in this region alone discovers 100 or so possible positive 

results for bowel cancer. It has even saved the life of one of their 

own members. 

If your pharmacy is not participating in the program, contact 

Toowoomba North President, Robyn Jeffery 0414 965 870 to find 

out where you can buy a kit or ask your Pharmacy to contact them 

and take on some kits to sell. 

You’re never too young to be tested and it could save your life 

Impressive show history 

Toowoomba Region Councillor Geoff McDonald said the history of 

the Crows Nest Show should be taught in schools. 

Cr McDonald, opening the 115th Crows Nest Show on Saturday, said 

he was impressed with the involvement of many people who contributed 

to the running of the show, including the volunteers without whom the 

show would not function. He praised show society patron Merv McLean 

who has been involved with the show for 80 years. 

Cr McDonald was so impressed with a history of the Crows Nest 

Show, outlined by president May Gossow, that he thought local history 

should be taught in schools. 

Mrs Gossow talked about the development of the show from 1901 and 

the four or five locations on which the show was held. 

She said she was the first woman to be president of the show society 

after 20 men held the office. • Full show coverage next ssue.

Cockatoo convention 

Highfields State Secondary College will 

host its first biennial school play on 

Thursday, May 31 and Friday, June 1. 

The night will consist of two one-act plays, 

Check Please and Shreds and Patches, which 

will be separated by a 25-minute intermission. 

Check Please follows two singles who try 

their luck at blind dating only to discover a love 

that was there all along. 

Nexus recently advertised the 

need for motorists to merge at 

the merge point and not early 

when forming one lane at their 

roadworks. 

In some instances when motorists 

are not choosing to merge 

early other motorists have been 

blocking the open lane so vehicles 

are unable to merge later 

and are forced to merge early. 

As Nexus states, this creates 

more traffic problems. 

Highfields Police have received 

a number of previous 

complaints about this and as 

such will be actively enforcing 

these merges. 

If you are blocking other motorists 

from driving down the 

empty lane to the merge point 

you are committing the traffic offence 

of “Unreasonably obstruct 

path of another driver.” This infringement 

attracts a $126 penalty 

and no loss of points. 

Shreds and Patches reimagines Shakespeare’s 

Hamlet in a modern way. 

Doors and bar open at 6pm with the show 

beginning at 6.30pm in the school’s performing 

arts centre. 

Admission is $10 for adults and $5 for under 

18 and concession card holders. 

Contact the school on 4614 7222 for more information 

or to purchase tickets. 

New England Highway second range crossing 

Police warn against early merging 

Marked and unmarked police 

vehicles will be used to enforce 

this. 

Also if motorists are confronted 

with a vehicle blocking them 

and have dash camera footage 

of the incident, they are encouraged 

to provide the footage to 

Highfields Police. 

If you have any questions relating 

to this or any other matter, 

contact the Highfields Police on 

4615 5309. 

The Herald camera caught around 30 white cockatoos gathered on a footpath near Coles in Highfields 

early one morning last week. There were even more birds off camera.

Regional gallery brings story time alive in art 

Toowoomba Regional Art Gallery and First 5 Forever 

have joined forces to offer the Toowoomba Region an 

educational program that incorporates stories, songs, 

rhymes and art for children in their developing years. 

The Activating Art program is a story time with themes 

and learning experiences based on current exhibitions on 

display at Toowoomba Regional Art Gallery. 

Environment and Community portfolio leader Cr 

Joe Ramia said the program has a strong focus on early 

childhood education and supporting the needs of children 

in their first five years. 

“The activities are presented in a nurturing yet fun 

environment and incorporate stories, songs and art 

that encourage play-based learning as well as skill 

development, Cr Ramia said. 

“This program is where a picture really does become a 

thousand words! 

“Each session is unique and is prepared by a joint team 

from the Gallery and First 5 Forever. 

“Guardians are encouraged to return to the Gallery in 

their own time and revisit the exhibition and resource 

materials with their child,” Cr Ramia said.

Art works record development 

in the region 

Artist Bill Morton with Toowoomba art teacher Sheri Gillmeister and 

her four daughters, Kirra, Siara, Mia, and Bella (front). 

An exhibition of art works 

that detail construction 

of the Toowoomba 

second range crossing, 

and the Grand Central Shopping 

Centre, has been described as 

extraordinary and simply stunning. 

Cr Geoff McDonald, speaking 

at the opening of Mr Morton’s 

exhibition “Toowoomba, Today, 

Tomorrow, Time of Transition” 

said that in 50 to 100 years, people 

would reflect on the images as a 

genuine record. 

Cr McDonald said the paintings 

and drawings were like a time 

capsule. They were extra special 

and immortalised this period of 

development in Toowoomba. 

He said Mr Morton had not 

yet painted the development 

of the Wellcamp Airport of the 

construction of the Toowoomba 

Library. 

Cr McDonald said Toowoomba 

had not finished its development, 

and pointed to big projects being 

planned, including the inland rail 

and the construction of a new 

hospital on the Baillie Henderson 

site. He said the cutting of the 

tunnel through the Toowoomba 

Range for the inland rail would 

provide Mr Morton with many 

more days of sketching and 

painting. 

Mr Morton has already spent 18 

months on the paintings for this 

first exhibition, about 24 paintings 

and what he calls “quickies” which 

are smaller sketches, some of 

which became larger paintings. 

Mr Morton said this was not the 

last of his work, and was hoping 

to keep painting this series as long 

as Nexus Infrastructure worked on 

the new range crossing. 

The exhibition, at the 

Toowoomba Art Society in Godsall 

Street, continues until May 27. 

• Square-leaved broom 

(Spartothamnella juncea) 

Mostly leafless, slender shrub to 

1.5m, usually found in drier rainforests, 

it has small five-petalled 

white flowers throughout 

the year. 

The fruits are orange to red 

which makes this plant rather 

special. 

A hardy garden plant requiring 

very little attention once 

established, this is a worthwhile 

inclusion in any garden. 

• Velvet Leaf (Callicarpa pedunculata) 

Another garden gem 

this scrub will grow up to 2m but 

it rarely does, the reason being is 

responds well to pruning. 

It has lovely velvety leaves 

which are inviting to touch. 

The tiny pink flowers are not 

showy but wait, the clusters of 

purple-pink are a special feature. 

Another hardy or drought resistant 

plant but it does like regular 

watering for good growth. 

It is frost tender however, 

but will grow well with 

cover from other plants. 

• Climbing Saltbush (Rhagodia 

parabolica) Contrary to the 

description given in some plant 

books, this plant in my garden is 

a bushy lovely green plant that 

has spread and is now one metre 

tall. 

More than 50 people attended 

the opening last Saturday including 

a number from Artists of Crows 

Nest, of which Bill Morton is 

president. 

Mr Morton urged people to 

support their local artists within 

their community. 

He said that in an era of 

technology, artists tended to be 

pushed to the side, even though 

artists had the ability to show the 

community many things, including 

the environment and the human 

condition. - Miles Noller. 

COMMENT: The Bill Morton 

collection of paintings and sketches 

of construction of big projects 

are said to have immortalised 

Toowoomba’s current development 

era 

Ṫhey form a time capsule which 

will become a record for the city. 

Those who attended the opening 

of the Bill Morton exhibition saw 

not only the artistic merit in the 

works, but also in the historic 

record they created. 

So how will the residents of 

Toowoomba view this record in 50 

or 100 years? 

A number of people believe they 

should be acquired by Toowoomba 

Regional Council and kept together 

for the future. 

Maybe Nexus Infrastructure 

and QIC’s Grand Central could 

contribute to the acquisition of the 

work, and should Mr Morton paint 

a record of construction of new 

projects, the relevant developers 

might also contribute to such an 

artistic record. 

Mr Morton’s paintings are 

works of art. But they also exhibit 

great technique and detail which 

captures machines and construction 

in a way rarely seen. 

Native plants available 

at Crows Nest nursery 

Tip pruning may have resulted 

in a rather stronger specimen 

than one described as being 

weak-stemmed and climbing. 

The leaves are alternate and 

greyish green. 

White flowers come on panicles 

in the spring and summer. 

Fruits are red. 

Definitely worth a place in a 

garden especially as it doesn’t 

requiring a lot of attention. 

• Native Thistle (Stemmacantha 

australis) Erect thistle-like 

herb reaching 1m, it has 

no prickles. 

Basal leaves are serrated, paler 

below, sometimes lobed. 

Typical thistle flower heads 

appear in spring and summer. 

This plant is listed as vulnerable 

but judging by how well 

it propagates, it may be on the 

come-back. 

Once established and left to 

seed it comes up without much 

attention. 

Water or rain helps it to become 

a permanent fixture. 

Left to seed you will be rewarded 

with many plants. 

Most of these plants are 

available from the Crows Nest 

Community Nursery open on a 

Thursday morning. - Contributed.

The New Hope Oakey Sprints this weekend 

will be the 10th annual event for cars to race 

around the industrial estate. 

More than 100 competitors from throughout 

Australia plan to be there and it seems that each 

year the organisers tweak the track a bit. 

This weekend there will be adjustments to the 

chicanes on the back straight to make the track 

more challenging. 

The circuit, near the grain silos on Oakey’s 

northside, uses Gayle, Ross, Katrina and 

Fitzpatrick Streets. 

The event consists of multiple timed runs. 

Each run is the total time taken to complete 

two laps of the circuit with the total distance of 

the two laps being 2.5km. 

Thanks to Rob Bellinger from Bellinger 

Interior Linings, the street car challenge is 

back again with Paul Buccini attempting a third 

consecutive win in his turbo charged BMWi30. 

The Oakey Motor Sport Club, organisers of the 

event, has its biggest field of juniors by far with 

nine entering in two classes and a ladies class is 

being introduced. 

In addition to the street cars, there are classes 

for modifieds, open wheelers and vehicles not 

registered for the street. 

The ever popular top 10 shoot-out is 

back, thanks to Southern Cross Sheds, and a 

NASCAR truck will be doing laps at lunch time 

on Saturday. 

A DJ will be playing on Saturday afternoon 

and evening. 

Also on Saturday night there will be a return 

of a Go To Whoa competition, but it will much 

bigger than previously and the way it will be run 

is exclusive to Oakey. 

Organising spokesman Ben Willson said 

competitors would have a standing start, speed 

up over a short straight run, do a U-turn around a 

tyre bundle, then head down the straight coming 

The Go To Whoa will be part of the Saturday 

night entertainment.

FARMING 

The perfect steak is the key to cattle production 

The judge of the prime cattle section 

at the Goombungee Haden Show has 

highlighted the importance of the eating 

quality of beef to the cattle industry. 

Pat McMahon from McMahon 

Brothers Quality Meats business in 

Killarney, said that in judging beef 

cattle, there were a number of factors 

which were important. 

These included conformation of the 

animal and evenness of fat cover, and 

there were others such as yield. 

But Mr McMahon said the number 

one factor was eating quality, producing 

the perfect steak. 

He said most people enjoy a steak 

but it was important that people enjoy 

it so much that they keep coming back 

for more. 

He selected a Santa steer from 

Noel and Graeme Timm, Kilburnie, 

as the champion steer/heifer of the 

competition. 

It was from the heavyweight (480kg 

and over) class. 

Mr McMahon said it would have a 

high recovery of the most expensive 

cuts, it had strength in its top line and 

good eye muscle area. 

In the lighter weight class (320kg to 

420kg), the first two places were won 

by heifers entered by Trevor and Elaine 

Nielsen of Cutella. 

Each was from a Hereford/Santa cow 

and a Limousin bull. The one placed 

first could yield perfect steaks, and had 

good conformation and fat coverage, Mr 

McMahon said.

HIGH COUNTRY 

FARMING 

GOOMBUNGEE HADEN SHOW 

Top pigs at a rare show 

Pork producers continue their support for the 

Goombungee Haden Show which has a section for 

commercial pigs, followed by a sale. 

It’s believed Goombungee is the only show in 

Australia to have such an event, although stud pigs 

are shown at Toowoomba and a handful of other 

places. Judge Pat McMahon had 19 porkers and eight 

weaners to select from, and chose a Large White gilt 

as champion pig of the show. 

It was exhibited by Kilburnie (near Haden) 

producers Graeme and Noel Timm, and was from the 

champion pen. The champion sold for $395 to Pioneer 

Arms Hotel in Goombungee. 

The 19 porkers sold for an average of $260 and the 

eight stores/weaners averaged $125. 

The Timm brothers are regular winners in the 

competition selecting show pigs from their 80 sow 

breeding enterprise. 

However, cattle account for half of their business, 

and they showed their expertise with cattle by having 

the champion prime steer of the show. 

Scott and Mary Mengel with prime sheep judge 

Pat McMahon. The Mengels, from Rhyre, Oakey, 

exhibited the champion pen of three lambs at the 

Goombungee Haden Show. It was the second 

consecutive year that Scott and Mary have won 

the championship at Goombungee. This year the 

champions were also White Dorpers. They were 

five and a half months old and were expected to 

produce 23kg carcases. They sold at the show 

auction for $160 a head. 

Cait Jenyns of Lazy Acres Boer Goat Stud, 

Pittsworth, with the supreme champion at 

Goombungee Show. Lazy Acres Nitro, eight 

months, was also champion buck. Cait and 

David Jenyns also exhibited the champion doe, 

and were placed first in the sires progeny class. It 

was the biggest goat show at Goombungee that 

most can remember with more exhibitors and 

more entries than previously.

what life was like when it was 

built in 1911. 

Twelve dozen scones were 

also sold in the first two and a

the home is fully restored. -

Rosemary for remembrance 

at Maclagan Kindergarten 

Windermere Kindergarten at Maclagan has 

been growing rosemary for three years in the 

children’s garden. 

This year for the first time, kindergarten 

president Susie Ballard was able to harvest 

enough rosemary foliage, to create the wreath 

which was laid by the children at the Anzac 

Day service in Maclagan. 

Growing rosemary in the children’s 

garden became a tradition from 2015 when 

the kindergarten was visited by Mr Russell 

Duggan, FLT LT with AAFC at the Oakey 

Army Aviation Centre. 

His visit was to mark the centenary of 

the landing at Gallipoli, and he planted a 

rosemary shrub. 

The significance of rosemary to Anzac 

day is that it is similar to the flora found 

growing wild on the Gallipoli peninsula and 

symbolises remembrance. 

Each year since, Mr Duggan has returned 

to the kindergarten to assist the children 

establish a new rosemary plant. 

This year President Susie Ballard was able 

to harvest enough rosemary foliage from the 

kindy’s garden to create the wreath which was 

laid by the children at this year’s Anzac Day 

service. 

Mr Duggan’s affiliation with the children of 

Maclagan is highly valued and respected. 

Through his visits, the capacity for three, 

four and five-year-olds to learn about the 

foundational values of Anzac Day is elevated 

and brought to life. 

The rosemary plants in the playground act 

as a living monument to our servicemen and 

women and stimulate rich conversations and 

learning opportunities about our Anzacs not 

just on April 25, but all year round. 

The children look forward to Mr Duggan’s 

return to transplant the fourth edition of 

rosemary into their outdoor play space to 

commemorate Anzac Day.
