‘The Crossing’ newspaper name originates from when Dalby was founded in the early 1840s at a place known locally as ‘The Crossing’ on Myall Creek 

and is also on the junction of the Warrego, Moonie and Bunya Highways. 

Cancer Council Queensland is passing the virtual baton to the Dalby community as the 

town joins in on a statewide virtual event. Details inside.

Regional Australians impacted 

by suicide are more likely to 

experience multiple loses of 

family, friends and community 

members (67%) compared to 

their city counterparts (60%) – 

new research has revealed for the 

first time. 

It comes as the findings also show growing 

concerns the economy, jobs (+7%), cost of 

living (+4%) and drugs and alcohol use (+5%) 

will increase suicide rates in the regions in the 

wake of COVID19. 

National peak body, Suicide Prevention 

Australia, this week released the regionalspecific 

results in the review to World Suicide 

Prevention Day which was on September 10, 

2020. 

Suicide Prevention Australia is the national 

peak body and that has been providing 

support for Australia’s suicide prevention 

sector for more than 25 years. They support 

and advocate for their members to drive 

continual improvement in suicide prevention 

policy, programs and services. 

Their reach is broad, including member 

organisations, governments, businesses, 

researchers, practitioners and those with 

lived experience. 

They are focused on an integrated approach 

to suicide prevention encompassing mental 

health, social, economic and community 

factors and they believe that through 

collaborative effort and shared purpose, we 

can achieve their vision of a world without 

suicide. 

CEO Nieves Murray said over 4 million 

regional Australians had been personally 

impacted by suicide, with 66% of those living 

outside city limits supporting the Federal 

Government introducing a standalone 

National Suicide Prevention Act that takes a 

whole of government, not just mental health, 

approach. 

“I live in our regions and you only have to 

look around and see that global disasters 

like COVID19 hit our local economies, 

communities and services harder and faster 

than our capital cities,” Ms Murray said. 

“The better we can proactively predict what 

economic and social risks are facing our 

regional and rural communities, the better 

we can prepare Australians and prevent 

suicide rates increasing. 

INSPIRATIONAL SENIOR 

SERGEANT LEADS THE PUSH FOR 

WORDS FOR WELLBEING 

A Queensland Senior Sergeant 

who survived a shooting has 

partnered with Western Downs 

Libraries to launch a new series 

promoting the importance of 

mental and physical wellbeing for 

Western Downs residents. 

Senior Sergeant Daryl Elliott Green (pictured) 

will launch Words for Wellbeing at a special 

event to be held at the Dalby Leagues Club 

on 14 October 2020. 

Western Downs Regional Council 

Spokesperson for Community and Cultural 

Development Councillor Kaye Maguire said it 

is an honour to welcome Daryl to the region 

to discuss the importance of resilience and 

looking after your physical and mental health. 

"Daryl has an inspirational story of strength, 

courage and resilience, and it's fantastic he is 

making the journey to the Western Downs to 

share his experiences," Cr Maguire said. 

"The Queensland Police Service Valour 

Awardee and Lifeline Ambassador was shot 

in the face and the shoulder while on duty in 

Brisbane in 2000. 

"This incredible Queenslander is the perfect 

fit to launch the new library collection Words 

for Wellbeing, which is being rolled out across 

all Western Downs Libraries and online. 

"Words for Wellbeing is a collection of books, 

audiobooks, DVDs and digital resources 

which have been hand selected by health 

care professionals. 

"The series is aimed at supporting and 

encouraging residents to look after their 

health both inside and out and covers topics 

that impact mental and physical health 

and wellbeing such as anxiety, depression, 

stress, relationship issues, diabetes, pain 

management and much more. 

“International evidence shows the best 

way to achieve this is through a standalone 

National Suicide Prevention Act that embeds 

a whole of government, not just a mental 

health, response.” 

In some encouraging news, Ms Murray said 

a third (30%) of regional Australians had 

accessed a suicide prevention service – either 

on their behalf or someone else – the same 

rate as their city counterparts. 

The regional results are from an exclusive 

YouGov poll of over 1000 Australians 

commissioned by Suicide Prevention 

Australia as part of World Suicide Prevention 

Day 2020. 

“In shining a light on suicide prevention, it’s 

important to not only help those in need, but 

also support Australians to know what to say 

beyond RUOK?” Ms Murray said. 

Threats to Suicide: Regional (2020, increase 

since 2019) vs City (2020, Increase since 2019): 

1. Cost of Living/Personal Debt: Regional 

(68%, +4%) vs City (61%, -1%) 

2. Economy/Jobs: Regional (55%, +7%) vs City 

(57%, +4%) 

3. Drugs/Alcohol: Regional (72%, +5%) vs City 

(64%, +0%) 

"Our libraries feature a purpose-built set up 

for people to access these resources which 

includes a comfy chair, noise cancelling 

headphones and DVD players. 

"I encourage residents to head along to 

the free launch to find out more about this 

important set of resources, which contributes 

to active, vibrant communities." 

Words for Wellbeing is funded by the 

Queensland Government's Tackling Regional 

Adversity through Integrated Care Program. 

The Words for Wellbeing launch is a COVID 

safe event and early registration is strongly 

encouraged so appropriate arrangements 

can be made.

launch, visit the Western Downs Libraries

LNP PLAN 

TO RESTORE 

REGIONAL 

MATERNITY 

SERVICES 

Member for Warrego Ann 

Leahy has welcomed the LNPs 

commitment to restore local 

maternity services for Chinchilla if 

elected on 31 October. 

“There is no doubt Chinchilla Hospital being 

on bypass has placed a lot of pressure on the 

Dalby Maternity Services,” Ms Leahy said. 

Last year it was revealed in Parliamentary 

Estimates that the Dalby Hospital was close to 

going on maternity bypass. 

“As part of a major investment in better health 

services across Queensland, the LNP will trial 

on-demand birthing services with a new 

dedicated local team. 

“The LNP have restored birthing services to 

Chinchilla before and we will do it again,” Ms 

Leahy said. 

Services at Chinchilla haven’t been offered to 

local mums for more than two years after they 

were closed down by the Palaszczuk Labor 

Government. 

“I was born in a regional hospital, Stanthorpe, 

and I will fight tooth and nail for the families 

on the Western Downs to birth in their own 

community, be it Chinchilla or Dalby,” Ms 

Leahy said. 

“Providing birthing services closer to home 

is not only good for local families but 

encourages more people to live in rural and 

regional Queensland. 

“It also takes pressure off neighboring health 

services,” Ms Leahy said. 

“Mums in the bush deserve the same 

healthcare as mums in Brisbane. 

“The Palaszczuk Labor Government has a 

record of shutting down maternity services 

in the bush, since 2001, they have closed 

maternity services in 26 rural and regional 

communities. 

“Labor chose to spend half a million dollars 

of tax payers funds on changing the name 

of the Lady Cilento Children’s Hospital rather 

than improving rural health services for 

Queenslanders,” Ms Leahy said. 

“The LNP is about refocusing our public health 

system on patients and ensuring better health 

services are provided to all Queenslanders.

Leahy will ease pressure on the Dalby Maternity 

Services. 



AUSTRALIANS 

URGED TO PREPARE 

FOR SUMMER 

DISASTER SEASON 

Emergency 

Management 

Australia (EMA) has completed its 

annual disaster season briefings 

with states and territories and 

has urged Australians to properly 

prepare for the upcoming summer 

disaster season, which officially 

commences this month. 

Minister for Emergency Management David 

Littleproud said that local, state, territory and 

federal agencies are well prepared to support 

communities through natural disasters, 

including from the initial response and relief 

phase through to long-term recovery. 

“Since the horrific bushfires last summer, the 

Government has been working to bolster 

Australia’s ability to respond to and recover 

from crises including natural disasters and 

the COVID-19 Pandemic,” Minister Littleproud 

said. 

“The next challenge is to make sure we are all 

prepared for the disaster risks facing us over 

the coming season. 

“Significant grass and vegetation growth over 

winter combined with higher than average 

temperatures across the southern part of 

Australia means we are looking at the very real 

potential for a bad grass fire season. 

“In the north, La Nina conditions risk bringing 

a worse than average storm, cyclone and flood 

season.” 

Over the past two weeks, Emergency 

Management Australia has been holding 

operational briefings with police, fire 

authorities and emergency service agencies 

in every State and Territory to prepare for the 

disaster season. 

“The Australian Government works with 

communities to prevent, prepare, respond 

and recover from disasters – from disaster 

mitigation initiatives, and community 

awareness and warning measures, through to 

disaster relief and recovery support,” Minister 

Littleproud said. 

“We have invested more than $2 billion to 

help communities recover from last summer’s 

bushfires and have already committed 

significant funding to better prepare for the 

future including in bushfire research, aerial 

firefighting and telecommunications. 

“We are investing more than $26 million 

annually in the National Aerial Firefighting 

Centre to improve Australia’s aerial firefighting 

capability, and more than $37 million to 

strengthen telecommunications resilience 

in bushfire and disaster-prone areas so that 

communities can stay connected during 

emergencies. 

“There’s also been an important step in 

streamlining aid and support from the 

Australian Defence Force ahead of the 2020 

2021 summer season with the Department 

of Defence and Home Affairs, through EMA, 

undertaking a comprehensive review of the 

Defence Assistance to the Civil Community 

(DACC) arrangements. 

“While we can work with authorities to 

properly prepare, it’s also critical families, 

households and individuals do what they can 

to prepare themselves. 

“By planning ahead, people can reduce the 

risk of injury and damage to property. 

“Information on how to prepare for disasters 

is available through state and territory 

authorities.” 

The Royal Commission into Natural Disaster 

Arrangements will deliver its Final Report 

to government on 28 October 2020, which 

we look forward to receiving and carefully 

considering as part of our ongoing work to 

ensure Australia’s natural disaster capabilities 

are as effective as possible. 

The Australian Government will invest 

more than $9.3 million across 14 vital road 

infrastructure projects in Maranoa under 

Round 5 of the Bridges Renewal Program 

(BRP) and Round 7 of the Heavy Vehicle 

Safety and Productivity Program (HVSPP), 

Maranoa MP David Littleproud said this 

week. 

“This vital funding will allow communities 

across Maranoa to fast-track their highestpriority 

infrastructure projects, providing 

a much-needed boost to local jobs and the 

economy,” Mr Littleproud said. 

“I am pleased to see 14 projects across 

Maranoa will receive a total of $9,307,161 to 

do exactly that at a time when it couldn’t be 

needed more. 

“The Bridges Renewal Program has already 

delivered a number of stronger and safer 

bridges for residents in Maranoa, and this 

latest round will support five new projects 

to upgrade and replace damaged or 

deteriorating bridges. 

“Round 7 of the HVSPP will support 9 heavy 

vehicle infrastructure projects in Maranoa, 

including upgrades to traffic movement and 

accessibility at the Roma Saleyards, Blackall 

Saleyards and the Western Queensland 

Livestock Exchange in Longreach. 

“Through the HVSPP, the Federal Government 

will also invest $2.5 million into widening 

the Barwon Highway between Talwood and 

Nindigully, to improve heavy vehicle safety 

and productivity. 

“These projects are about getting drivers on 

our roads home sooner and safer, and making 

key freight routes more efficient, while also 

boosting local jobs and getting cash flowing 

in our regional towns.” 

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for 

Infrastructure, Transport and Regional 

Development Michael McCormack said these 

latest rounds would deliver more than $290 

million to support 350 projects across the 

nation. 

“Now more than ever the continued roll out 

of road infrastructure projects is important 

to support local jobs, underpin economic 

growth and ensure all Australians can 

reach their destinations sooner and safer, 

and communities can rest assured that’s 

exactly what our Government is doing,” Mr 

McCormack said. 

Cancer Council Queensland is 

passing the virtual baton to the 

Dalby community as the town 

joins in on a statewide virtual 

event. 

The statewide Relay will be the first in 

Queensland’s Relay For Life 20-year history, 

where the usual 18-hour event will be 

shortened and the favourite traditions of 

Relay will be streamed online on October 10, 

from 3pm – 7pm. 

After physical event cancellations due to 

COVID-19, the local Dalby Relay For Life 

committee have made the decision to 

participate in the statewide event and 

postpone the local physical event to 2021. 

Cancer Council CEO Ms Chris McMillan said 

while the local physical event has been 

postponed, the statewide event will be an 

unmissable experience. 

“Relay For Life is organised by passionate, 

local volunteers, and each Relay is a special 

experience that will stay with you forever,” Ms 

McMillan said. 

“Although this years’ Relay will look very 

different, it will still be all about bringing 

Queenslanders together to celebrate, 

remember, and fight back against cancer. 

The statewide event, hosted in Cairns, will 

include an opening and closing ceremony, 

survivors and carers from across the state will 


$9.3 MILLON TO FLOW TO BRIDGES AND 

HEAVY VEHICLE SAFETY PROJECTS IN 

MARANOA 

Assistant Minister for Road Safety and Freight 

Transport Scott Buchholz said 50 per cent 

of this funding would benefit communities 

impacted by the ongoing drought and earlier 

bushfire events. 

“$146.97 million in funding through these 

rounds will go to councils affected by 

bushfires, drought or both – providing secure 

work for local construction contractors and 

businesses who have felt the cumulative 

impact of these events and now COVID-19 

while delivering lasting infrastructure that 

will benefit the region for years to come,” Mr 

Buchholz said. 

Projects funded across Maranoa include: 

Bridges Renewal Program Round 5 - 

•$1,818,487 to replace existing timber bridge 

at Bundi Road, Wandoan. 

• $264,576 to replace the existing timber 

bridge on Muggins Lane, Yuleba. 

• $30,000 for structural maintenance repairs 

and guard rail replacement on K.T. Peters 

Bridge, South Burnett. 

• $231,825 to replace the existing culvert 

structure on Connolly Dam Road, Silverwood. 

• $532,500 to replace the existing floodway 

with a dual-lane bridge on Homestead Road, 

Rosenthal Heights. 

Heavy Vehicle Safety and Productivity 

Program Round 7 - 

• $675,000 to extend Primaries Road for users 

at the Roma Saleyards Facility 

• $667,460 to seal the Hebel Goodooga Road 

from Hebel to the QLD / NSW border. 

• $157,500 for a heavy vehicle pavement 

upgrade on Creek Street, Amby. 

• $950,000 for an alternative heavy vehicle 

route at the Blackall Saleyards. 

• $550,770 to upgrade heavy vehicle access, 

loading and unloading ramps, traffic 

movement and driver amenities at the 

Western Queensland Livestock Exchange in 

Longreach. 

• $265,000 for upgrades to the Kennedy 

Developmental Road Rest Area, Winton 

• $54,043 to upgrade the Tomkins Street and 

Killen Street intersection in the Inglewood 

Industrial Estate. 

• $610,000 to widen and reconstruct Curtain 

Road, Lyra and Ballandean. 

• $2,500,000 to widen the Barwon Highway 

between Talwood and Nindigully. 

DALBY RELAY FOR LIFE 

be celebrated, and the candlelight ceremony 

will be broadcast and all participants given 

their own candle to take part at home. 

“There will be several interactive moments 

too, with entertainment, games, and activities 

for all participants to get involved with and 

bring the fun of Relay to Dalby. 

“We know that dressing up and walking are 

such fun and important parts of our physical 

Relay events, so this year we are encouraging 

the Dalby community to do just that. 

“The theme of the statewide event is Great 

Barrier Reef, and Relayers can dress up and 

walk in the lead up to the virtual event to 

help with their fundraising, whether that be 

around their neighbourhood, or their living 

room! 

“Every dollar raised at Relay funds our work, 

and in turn, provides vital support and care 

for all Queenslanders every minute, every 

hour, every day. 

“Around 2,160 people are diagnosed with 

cancer each year in South West Queensland 

and Relay For Life enables us to support 

those people. 

“Cancer doesn’t stop, so neither do we.” 

Registration for the Queensland Relay For 

Life is free, however, to keep track of where 

participants are Relaying from, Cancer 

Council Queensland asks all participants to 

register with their local Relay For Life.

YOUTH MONTH LAUNCHES INTO THE 

WESTERN DOWNS THIS OCTOBER 

Young people from across the Western Downs will have the opportunity 

to let loose and have some fun this October, with Council hosting a 

series of exciting Youth Month events in local towns. 

Western Downs Regional Council Spokesperson for Community and Cultural Development 

Councillor Kaye Maguire said it was vital to celebrate the contributions of the region’s young 

people, after a particularly tough year for all residents. 

“The youth of our region play a very big part in our active vibrant communities so it’s great to 

be able to celebrate them and offer the chance for everyone to come together and have some 

fun,” Cr Maguire said. 

“2020 has been a difficult year for everyone, including our youth and that’s why this October 

we can’t wait to give them an excuse to let their hair down. 

“We have something for everyone this year with some great activities planned. Activities will 

include Archery Attack, mechanical bull rides, inflatable obstacle course and a jumping castle. 

“We’re also really proud to be supporting local food and beverage vendors by providing the 

opportunity to purchase a range of food and drinks and we encourage everyone to support 

our small businesses at your local events”. 

Youth Month activities across the region are free, however it is recommended that cash is 

brought along on the day for food and beverage vendors. 

Youth Month events across the Western Downs will be following COVID Safe plans and contact 

tracing information will be collected upon arrival. 

Youth Month Events: 

Miles Saturday October 10 10am – 12pm Miles Skate Park 

Chinchilla Saturday October 17 10am – 12pm Chinchilla Rec. Grounds 

Tara Saturday October 24 10am – 12pm Lions Park 

Dalby Saturday October 31 10am – 12pm Diplock Park 

ZERO TOLERENCE 

POLICY AND 

HEFTY FINES FOR 

VEGAN ACTIVISTS 

AT PITTSWORTH 

PIGGERY 

Police are being urged to adopt a zero-tolerance 

policy and hefty fines towards vegan activists who 

protested outside the Pittsworth Piggery yesterday 

leading to two arrests. 

Katter’s Australian Party State candidate for Warrego, Rick Gurnett 

(pictured below), said police should be congratulated for the calm and 

professional matter in which they handled yesterday’s protest, but 

any repeat protest should be met with zero tolerance and protestors 

should also be billed for police time and resources. 

“The protestors have made their point and police have better things 

to do than waste hours upon hours with these repeat offenders,” Mr 

Gurnett said. 

“I support peaceful protests, but if they come back again, there should 

be more arrests and fines handed out for wasting police resources. 

”Unfortunately, I am sure they will be back because these people have 

very little else to do. 

Mr Gurnett said “the 

same old faces” had 


been to numerous 

animal welfare 

protests in the 

Warrego electorate 

and their activities are 

threatening jobs. 

“These activists will 

not be happy until 

they close down 

facilities like piggeries 

in Pittsworth and 

cause people to lose 

their jobs. 

“Like the rest of 

Queensland off the 

back of COVID-19, 

every job is important 

in Warrego today.”

RECOGNISED FOR HIS SERVICE 

the Mediterranean and the Middle East, to 

Asia and the Pacific, with the conflict also 

reaching Australian shores. 

“Australia can never fully repay the debt we 

owe these amazing men and women but, to 

mark their service, the federal government 

has produced this Commemorative Medallion 

and Certificate of Commemoration for the 

remaining living Second World War veterans.” 

Mr Gerard’s service started at the age of 18 

when he enlisted in the RAAF then transferred 

to A.I.F. and volunteered for Commando 

as Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels, carried him on a 

makeshift stretcher down a very steep track 

to comparative safety below. 

That trek took five hours, and he was then 

transported by Jeep, truck and launch to the 

Casualty Clearing Station at Cape Wom. 

By this time, he was unconscious from loss 

of blood and was thus unable to thank his 

rescuers. 

He spent 15 months in hospital, before flying 

back to Australia. 

Mr Geldard also had his Commando service 

training at Canungra. 

recognised last year by the Australian 

After their training, they were sent to serve 

in New Guinea , and only a few weeks before 

the war ended, Mr Geldard and his fellow 

commandos were sent up to patrol the 

highlands, and about 30 of them were sent to 

Jokuku Pass. 

At about 4pm on July 26, 1945, Mr Geldard 

returned from patrol where, as per procedure, 

he and his companions, including his good 

Commando Association with the presentation 

of a Quilt of Valour “to acknowledge your 

valour, service and sacrifice for our country. 

“Eric Geldard is one our few surviving World 

War II commandos,” association member 

Mark Stanieg said. 

“I was privileged to be able to spend so much 

time with Eric on his cattle property out near 

Miles.”

their weapons and he was accidentally shot 

with an Owen Mk1 (no safety catch).

The longest serving member of 

Miles R.S.L. Sub-Branch, WWII 

veteran Eric Geldard was recently 

awarded the Commemorative 

Medallion for his service to our 

country. 

Acknowledging the significance of the 75th 

anniversary of the end of the Second World 

War, the Department of Veterans’ Affairs 

produced the Commemorative Medallion 

and Certificate of Commemoration. 

Minister for Veterans’ Affairs Darren Chester 

said the medallion and certificate was 

available to every living veteran of the 

Second World War. 

“As we approach this special anniversary, 

we recognise that it will be one of the last 

opportunities we have as a nation to publicly 

acknowledge the remaining veterans of the 

Second World War, of which there are around 

12,000 still with us today,” Mr Chester said. 

“These brave Australians served our nation 

in the far corners of the world, fighting in 

theatres of war from Europe to North Africa,

Bike riders inundated the Club 

Hotel from across Queensland 

on Sunday who were exhausted 

after riding for almost 9 hours for 

regional Queenslanders requiring 

mental health support. 

The 29 riders were all taking part in the 

RideWest Charity Ride and were in their 

second day of a 1237-kilometre cycle from 

Brisbane to Longreach, raising funds for the 

Wellbeing Out West program which is an 

initiative of the Royal Flying Doctor Services 

(Queensland Section). 

2020 marked the 10 th anniversary of the 

biennial event and the 6 th ride the team have 

undertaken. 

Almost $300,000 from this year's campaign 

and more than $1 million in total have been 

raised for the worthy cause. 

Amongst the riders was ex-local Western 

Downs man Andrew Barron who joined the 

ride because he now works for the RFDS and 

gets to see firsthand how the money is spent 

and has an input into the structure of the 

program they provide. 

"I also am a country boy myself and grew up 

on a pig farm near Dalby," he said. 

"Travelling past Dalby on day two of the ride 

and I was looking forward to having the local 

cycle community come out to meet us and 

ride with us on that stage." 

Preparations for the weeklong ride is no easy 

task with training taking place three months 

in advance so the riders can increase their 

fitness levels to a place where they can survive 

180kms a day in sometimes harsh conditions. 

A mid-week train ride and one ride each 

weekend was on the cards for riders in the 

months leading up to the cycle with some 

doing extra training and riding up to 250km 

a week to get themselves ready. 

Rider Charles Burke who rode for the second 

time, said even though each day brings its 

challenges, to do with such a great group of 

riders and for such a worthy cause makes it 

all worth it. 

"Each day has its challenge and the first day 

was very hectic getting out of suburbia and 

getting through Gatton and built-up areas 

with lots of traffic and stoppages," he said. 

"Climbing the range at Murphy's Creek was 

very challenging but getting up there was a 

lot easier than I did two years ago and was a 

highlight for me. 

"Another highlight was just getting through 

each day and ticking off milestones and 

personal bests. 

"There were about eight people who rode 

further than they ever have in one day. 

"That was an additional highlight to be 

around people that get swept along with the 

momentum and enthusiasm. 

"Plus when you see the result of the 

fundraising that it goes into a particular 

program for the Royal Flying Doctor's Service, 

it's not delivered by any other forum or by 

any other service provider for mental health 

in the bush. 

"You think very easy to raise money for 

something so critical, and that's all the 

motivation you need to help get you through." 

It has been a mammoth effort with the prelogistics 

planning and wouldn't be made 

possible if there wasn't a support crew in 

addition to the riders. 

Wanting to get out the office for a week, sit in 

a truck driver's seat and of course raise help 

out and with no desire to do the ride, Dugald 

Warby (pictured below) joined as a truck 

driver for the event. 

His job is vital to the event, loading the truck 

with four pallets of ice, water, groceries and 

sweets to make sure the riders are fed during 

the week. 

"We have breakfast and dinner at hotels or 

motels, but all our lunches and snack stops 

on the road are self-catered," he said. 

"So, it involves a lot of logistics. 

"First getting it all packed and ready to come 

away and then second to get it sorted so 

that you can provide the riders nourishment 

quickly when you pull up." 

Mr Warby also plays another vital role in 

ensuring the safety of the riders by driving 

directly in front of the riders and monitoring 

the traffic. 

He has to allow cars and trucks to get around 

the riders, as well as block intersections off 

and said that no riders are allowed in front of 

him, and his truck and they do as he says. 

"Day one is quite difficult because we are 

coming from Amberly through Gatton, 

Fernvale and Toowoomba up to Oakey," he 

said. 

"There is a lot of traffic and windy roads, so 

it's stressful. But from Oakey to Chinchilla 

and beyond gets more manageable because 

there is less traffic. 

"As you get further west, most trucks and cars 

are on channel 40, so they can hear us talking, 

and we can talk to them." 

The ride continues till Friday, October 9 and 

includes stops at Roma, Mitchell, Augathella 

and Blackall, before the final destination 

which is Longreach. 


CHINCHILLA 

FIELD 

NATURALISTS 

CLUB 

In March 1967 a group of mostly 

local farmers who were interested 

in the natural environment began 

to regularly meet and share their 

knowledge and observations. 

A charter was drawn up and aspirations include 

-studying all branches of natural history; 

encouraging a spirit of conservation;assist 

with scientific research;document and 

preserve information relevent to our area. 

For over 50 years the club has furthered the 

knowledge base and understanding of our 

natural environment.We have a newsletter 

“Urimbirra” which is published 6 times a year 

and available to members. It contains reports 

on meetings, field trips and observations, as 

well as lists of flora and fauna recorded. 

Meetings are held every 2 months at the 

CWA building beside the RSL.Field trips are 

monthly. 

In 1988 the club printed it's first book – “Going 

Bush with Chinchilla Nats – 20 years of Field 

Observations”. It was updated in 1997. 

Since 1988 the club has published or 

supported a number of other books 

including resources for identification of 

Wattles, Mistletoes, Wildflowers and Orchids. 

There is also a book of Botanical Illustrations 

(essentially art works) by the late Sylvia Seiler. 

The Clubs publications are keenly sought 

after as reference books by organisations 

interested in our local environment. The 

knowledge stored within them is invaluable. 

They are available at the Chinchilla Visitor 

Information Centre or through the Club. 

As I write, the Gurulmundi area of the forestry 

is ablaze with wild flower. In Waaji section 

of Barakula you can stand on the top of the 

range and observe the beginning of 3 water 

sheds. To the north is the start of the Dawson 

River. To the east begins the Burnett River, and 

to the south - the Condamine/Murray system. 

There are Bora rings, native wells (water 

storage created by the Aboriginal people),rock 

art, and grooving from thousands of years of 

tool sharpening in the rocks on undisturbed 

water ways. All relics of possibly the oldest 

culture on Earth.There is so much beauty 

right on the doorstep of Chinchilla. 

The Club would welcome those who would 

like to learn more about our country.

GLENNIE MAKES A TRIP TO 

CHINCHILLA TO SUPPORT 

DROUGHT ANGELS 

ZOE BELL 


Thanks to a special visit from the past, local charity Drought Angels 

can continue to assist those farmers still struggling with the crippling 

effects of the drought. 

Mark Ryan, The Glennie School Parents and Friends’ Association President, and his family 

ventured out to the Drought Angels headquarters in Chinchilla recently to present the Drought 

Angels team with a $3,366 donation in support of their operations on behalf of the Association. 

Co-founder of Drought Angels and former Glennie student Natasha Johnston, and her 

husband, Steele, showed the Ryan family through their headquarters and outlined how the 

process works – from receiving donations to dispatching food hampers and care packs. 

Mr Ryan said that Drought Angels has considerable reach and impact and encourages anyone 

who is visiting the region to drop into the gift shop. 

“They offer financial assistance and personalised support to thousands of farming families 

across Australia,” he said. 

“The mechanics behind the gift shop are very impressive and worth a look if you are in the 

area.” 

A Glennie School spokeswoman said in a year where our resilience, resolve and compassion are 

being tested; it’s heart-warming to see the tremendous community support that is enabling 

organisations like Drought Angels to forge ahead with their outstanding work in the rural 

sector. 

“Drought Angels provides a unique service for which it has become well known within the 

rural sector and among valued sponsors,” she said. 

“While it is fantastic to give the necessary material items, the ability to reach out and listen to 

those struggling is the most beneficial. 

“Drought Angels donations are very much a ‘thank you’, rather than a handout.” 

Pictured (L to R): Naomi Ryan (Glennie Old Girl), Lauren Ryan (Glennie student) and Natasha 

Johnston (Glennie Old Girl and Drought Angels Co-founder) view donations that bring some joy 

to those in need. 

PLEASE CHECK ANY COVID 

RESTRICTIONS PRIOR TO ANY 

OF THESE EVENTS 

I FIGURED WE WERE 

FRIENDS... 

In a crowded city at a crowded bus stop, 

a stunningly beautiful young woman was 

waiting for the bus. 

She was decked out in a tight black leather 

mini skirt with matching leather boots and 

jacket. 

As the bus rolled up and it became her turn 

to get on the bus, she became aware that 

her skirt was too tight to allow her leg to 

come up to the height of the bus’ first step. 

So, slightly embarrassed and with a quick 

smile to the bus driver, she reached behind 

her and unzipped her skirt a little, thinking 

that this would give her enough slack to 

raise her leg. 

Again she tried to make the step onto the 

bus only to discover she still could not 

make the step. 

So, a little more embarrassed, she once 

again reached behind her and unzipped 

her skirt a little more. And for a second 

time she attempted the step and once 

again, much to her dismay, she could not 

raise her leg because of the tight skirt. 

So, with a coy little smile to the driver, she 

again unzipped the offending skirt to give 

a little more slack and again was unable to 

make the step. 

About this time the big Texan that was 

behind her in the line picked her up easily 

from the waist and placed her lightly on 

the step of the bus. 

The pretty young woman went ballistic and 

turned on the would-be hero, screeching 

at him, “How dare you touch my body! I 

don’t even know who you are!!!” 

At this the Texan drawled, “Well ma’am, 

normally I would agree with you but after 

you unzipped my fly three times, I kind of 

figured that we were friends.” 



BEER PIE A REAL WINNER 

ZOE BELL 


After not hearing anything back about her 

application and finding out she needed to 

ship the pie to Sydney as soon as possible for 

judging, it was a mad rush for Fuzzy’s Bakery 

owner and Pie Maker Lyn McCullough. 

She franticly had to organise freight, put the pie in an esky 

with ice bricks and expressed post it but all the last-minute 

stress was worth it and turned out better than she could 

have expected. 

Not only did the pie arrive at the destination safely within 

24 hours, but it also a bronze award in Australia’s Best Pie 

Competition early last month. 

“It was the first time I’ve put a pie in the competition,” she 

said. 

“I thought it’s been a pretty popular pie, so I will just put it in 

and see how I go, and I was surprised. 

“I was hoping I would win a certificate or award, but when 

they sent the certificate to saw I got the bronze award, I was 

pretty stoked. 

“The sales have gone through the roof already, and everyone 

knows about it.” 

Usually held in Melbourne, this year’s event had to relocate 

to Sydney due to the coronavirus. 

Unfortunately, Mrs McCullough was too busy at the local 

store to fly down, so her pie went, and she didn’t. 

Among about 400 applicants across Australia, the awardwinning 

Guiness Steak pie received bronze in Class 3 

Flavoured Beef Pie category. 

“It is a Guiness Steak Pie which is a chunky pie made with 

Guiness beer, and it’s just got a few vegetables stewed with 

it,” she said. 

“It’s my recipe and is just a basic pie that I’ve tweaked by 

adding this and adding that and it turned out very good. 

“I only just started making it about nine months ago, and it’s 

been quite popular.” 

In business for nine years, the Chinchilla bakery has created 

a name for itself and has seen people try from near and far 

to get a taste. 

In the past, it’s attracted many famous faces including Allan 

Langer, Chris Close, Michael Usher and Andrew Simmons. 

Then to top things off the award seems only to be making 

things busier for the business. 

“We’ve even had people take photos with the certificate on 

the wall and stating they have been here,” Mrs McCullough 

said. 

The pie maker also explained that this wouldn’t be her 

only year that she would be entering her creations into the 

competition. 

“We’ve got another pie there as well that I was going to put 

LETTERS, COMMENT & ANNOUNCEMENTS 


it this year, but we didn’t get a chance to put that one in,” 

she said. 

“So next year I will put a couple of different flavours in.” 

If you would like to get your hands on the award-winning 

pie and taste it for yourself, it can be purchased from Fuzzy’s 

Bakery Chinchilla. 

WE CAN AND MUST DO BETTER 

Before Queenslanders cast their vote in the upcoming state 

election I hope they take the time to reflect seriously on how 

Queensland has been travelling the past three years. 

Covid 19 obviously has dominated the last 9 months and the 

Premier continues to bask in supposed glory from how well 

Labor has handled the virus in this state. 

We are not a standout success in this case as the fact is every 

state in Australia has done a stirling job and our leaders and 

citizens are to be commended for their efforts. 

The exception of course is Victoria which is a clear example 

of shambolic incompetence. 

Our thoughts go out to all Victorians and hopefully thing 

there will soon improve. 

How has the Government performed apart from Covid-19? 

At the start of 2020 we had record unemployment coupled 

with record budget deficits. 

Energy policy was non-existent with large projects buried in 

the mire of government indecision e.g. Adani or New Hope 

Coal. 

This stems from not knowing which voters to appease, the 

unions who want the resource jobs or the inner city greens 

whose support is just as crucial. 

Bill Shorten dithered over the same issues and we saw the 

result. 

Youth crime is at record levels and shows every sign of 

worsening rapidly. 

No progress has been made in this area for many years and 

some neighbourhoods are almost no-go areas. 

There has even been talk of vigilante justice in some towns 

e.g. Townsville and Chinchilla. 

This is Australia, not a third world republic. 

We have a police force, a Court system and intervention 

programs. Why are they so ineffective and why can’t we get 

better results? 

Rural voters remain disaffected for the usual reasons, the 

scaling back of services, the near total absence of drought 

programs and the on-going unfairness of tree clearing 

laws, which coupled with the uncertainty Government has 

instilled in the resource industry has led to a collapse in 

employment. 

Many regional towns at the start of this year were facing 

disaster with the total loss of their water supply due to 

drought e.g. Stanthorpe and Warwick. 

What has been done this year to build pipelines or investigate 

new storages or increase the capacity of existing storages? 

A comprehensive water policy to cope with increasing 

population and dry weather conditions seems to be nonexistent. 

Why is public housing construction at such low levels? 

While the Government keeps chanting jobs, jobs, jobs and 

housing, we are seeing unprecedented numbers of people 

approaching charities for help with housing while public 

housing stocks are allowed to dwindle. 

Retail businesses have been smashed by Covid–19 but the 

fact is they were doing it hard long before the virus arrived. 

We were headed for recession as early as 2019 in my opinion. 

This is why I urge people to not just robotically vote along 

the usual lines, but take a careful look at the last three years 

and consider whether we can do better. 

These are just a small sample of issues where I believe we 

can and must do better.

NEW EXHIBITION 

DISPLAYS THE FUN 

WITH ART 

ZOE BELL 


Every Friday morning after a cuppa and chat, 

members of the Chinchilla Potters and Painters 

club have been working hard, creating their 

individual art and pottery masterpieces. 

The group which has been a mainstay of art in Chinchilla for 

over two decades are now showcasing their projects at their 

biennial exhibition at the Lapunyah Art Gallery Chinchilla. 

The exhibition is titled ‘Having ‘Fun With Art’, which president of 

the club Val Sims said is the main rule of membership. 

“When things go wrong, as they often do, we remind ourselves 

of this rule,” she said. 

“If our colours won’t mix, the paint has dried up in the tube, 

the pot falls apart in your hands or explodes in the kiln, the 

rule: “Have fun” reminds us not to take our art, or ourselves, too 

seriously. 

“With a little laugh, we relax and continue to create, and maybe, 

make something we are proud of!” 

The works in this exhibition were created by members who are 

painters, drawers and/or potters and since their last exhibition, 

in 2018, they have welcomed several people new to drawing 

and pottery. 

“We hope you enjoy the variation and the freshness that these 

newcomers bring to the group,” Ms Sims said. 

“You may also notice the skill progression in the works of our 

new pottery members?” 

The exhibition which was officially installed last Friday will be 

held from Saturday, October 3, to Wednesday, November 11 

giving local plenty of time to admire the local club's art. 

“I just wanted to say a big thank you to all the potters and 

painters who came to help,” Ms Sims said. 

“We all learnt a lot in the process! 

“It was a privilege to install it ourselves. 

“We were delighted how it all came together. 

“We are thrilled to be able to share our artworks with you and 

hope that you will have fun viewing our art!”

SERIOUSLY INJURED DRIVER 

AIRLIFTED AFTER ROLLOVER 

The Toowoomba-based RACQ LifeFlight Rescue 

helicopter has airlifted a man to hospital, after 

he was seriously injured in a truck rollover, in 

the Western Downs on Saturday October3 rd . 

The rescue helicopter flew to the scene, south east of Chinchilla, 

shortly after 8:20am. 

The pilot was able to land the chopper on a closed stretch of 

road, near the accident. 

It's believed the patient, aged in his 40s, had been driving the 

truck, when he lost control on a bend in the road. 

The vehicle reportedly rolled, before crashing into a tree. 

Queensland Fire and Emergency Service (QFES) firefighters 

and Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) paramedics were 

assisting the patient, who was trapped in the cabin of the 

vehicle, when the aeromedical team arrived. 

It took almost one hour to free the man. 

He was treated for leg and upper body injuries, before being 

airlifted to Toowoomba Hospital, in a serious but stable 

condition. 


YOUNG SWIMMERS GET THEIR COMPETITIVE JUICES FLOWING 

ZOE BELL 


Young Chinchilla swimmers made 

a splash on Friday as some were 

introduced to the joy of racing in 

the pool. 

In the first event for the season, Swimfit 

Chinchilla held their annual Maccas Mini 

Meet which is used as a vehicle to encourage 

children to try competitive swimming. 

Events Manager Grace Hogarth said it was all 

for any children but mainly had the Learn to 

Swim Students participating. 

The event included age-ability appropriate 

races so even the little ones could hop in and 

have a go at racing and instructors were also 

in the water to help anyone that needed it. 

“We also played some fun games, and it was 

Advertise in Chin Wag NOW - Call 0411 896 004 

a good way to get the kids back into the 

swimming season,” Miss Hogarth said. 

“It was a very relaxing and chilled day and 

was ultimately aimed at just being a fun day 

for all the kids. 

“A lot of kids are involved already in our 

program, but we had a few more come 

because it’s school holidays which was good, 

“It was nice to see some new faces.” 

Swimfit’s Learn to Swim Program starts at just 

three months of age right up to their squad 

children, however, doesn’t allow the students 

to participate in competitions. 

With a desire to be competitive and work their 

way up in the swimming, the meet was also 

a ‘Come and Try Day’ for the local swimming 

club, the Chinchilla Sharks. 

Miss Hogarth explained that the Chinchilla 

Sharks do a local club meet every Thursday 

night at the pool, and the pool is closed, 

especially for them to be able to hold it. 

Open to all ages with the only condition 

of membership the ability to swim 12.5m 

unassisted which was tested at Friday’s event. 

The club hold meets all around the region 

throughout the year including in Chinchilla, 

Miles and Dalby. 

“It’s like netball on Saturday,” Miss Hogarth 

said. 

“They do freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke 

and butterfly, and it’s totally up to the parents 

about what races they do go in. 

“Normally they say you go in freestyle and 

work your way up from there because it’s 

your most straightforward and basic stroke. 

The Sharks are set to be back in the water 

for 2020/2021 with the season sign on this 

Thursday night (October 8) at the Chinchilla 

pool starting at 5.30pm. 

It’s the perfect opportunity to hear what the 

club is all about and all be a time to have all 

new members graded and accessed before 

the start of the season. 

The club will also be able to help members 

access their Swim Central account, meet the 

committee and have any questions about the 

upcoming season answered. 

The executive committee have all been 

working hard to meet the required Covid-19 

compliance regulations, so there will be a few 

changes that will need to be made, but the 

club will advise them closer to the date. 

These mainly will be concerning signing in 

and out, plus how many people we can have 

on-site.

LIONS SET UP TO LIGHT UP CHINCHILLA 

PARKLAND WITH CHRISTMAS LIGHT SHOW 

ZOE BELL 


It was a roaring success last year, with an estimated 1500 attending 

the opening night alone and in good news to the community, the 

event is set to return this year. 

The Chinchilla Botanic Parkland will again be an array of colourful Christmas displays 

during the month of December for this Lions Christmas Light Show. 

With many popular Chinchilla events already being cancelled due to COVID 19, the light 

show is the perfect opportunity for the family to get out of the house and enjoy the 

Christmas spirit. 

Treasurer of Lions Club Tony Minnis confirmed the event will go ahead aware the virus is 

still impacting the event. 

“Owing to the restrictions relating to COVID 19 this year the show will be restricted to lights 

only,” Mr Minnis said. 

“Unfortunately, there will be no entertainment or catering.” 

The show will continue for a week and a half with the lights being switched on, on Saturday, December 19 and remain up 

until Wednesday, December 30, giving families plenty of time to enjoy it. 

Last year spectators were treated to over 100 sets of lights and an overall budget of the project between $50,000 and 

$60,000, made possible through the generous financial support of over 50 local Chinchilla businesses. 

However, this year’s display is set to be even bigger. 

“The Lions Club will be stepping up the display with some $15,000 worth of new light displays being featured,” Mr Minnis 

said. 

Entry will be by way of a gold coin donation and because it will be a COVID 19 Safe Event Mr Minnis ask the community 

to follow the guidelines in place. 

“Physical, social distancing will have to be maintained and is the responsibility of those attending,” he said. 

“Attendees are to stay at home if unwell or have a cough, fever, sore throat, fatigue, or shortness of breath.” 

“If you become unwell during the event, please seek assistance from one of the event officials.” 


ZOE BELL 


It's a cross-town rivalry that 

football players describe as the 

equivalent of the grand final and 

when the two teams meet, both 

teams raise to the occasion and do 

whatever it takes to win and that 

recently happened in Chinchills. 

That's why the Chinchilla Bears were left 

devastated on Saturday night when they 

lost to the Dalby Tigers at the Chinchilla 

Recreation Grounds in their last home game 

for the season. 

With the Tigers bagging two goals in the first 

half to the Bears none and then having a third 

reach the back of the net in the second half, 

the final score was 3 – 0. 

Captain of the Bears Jonty Calleja explained 

that it was a hard pill to swallow for the home 

side. 

"We hate losing to Dalby," he said. 

"You enter the dressing room, and everyone 

is gutted, especially losing to the Tigers 

because they are hard ones to take. 

"It's like losing a grand final when you loose 

to them." 

The captain said that his side went into the 

match with the right attitude and each player 

knew what they had to do but unfortunately 

didn't execute it as well as they had hoped 

for. 

"We spoke postgame about the fact that we

DISAPPOINTMENT AS DALBY TAKE THE DERBY 

ZOE BELL 


The Queensland Rural, Regional & Remote 

Women’s Network (QRRRWN) are committed 

to connecting people across rural and 

regional Queensland. 

Through the Origin Sponsor and Donations program, the 

QRRRWN has been supported with holding an event to 

celebrate International Rural Women’s Day and Queensland 

Mental Health Week. 

With only two events held in Queensland throughout the 

week, Miles is fortunate enough to be hosting the event, 

which is titled ‘Healthy Body, Healthy Mind and Spirit’. 

The event will be held at the Leichhardt Centre on Thursday, 

October 15 and will begin at 10am. 

Key speakers Dr Ansmarie Van Erp and Bianca Rice, from 

Queensland Rural Medical Service Toowoomba, will talk 

about the importance of keeping physically fit and mentally 

and emotionally healthy and providing strategies to assist. 

Also, a panel discussion will be held discussing the topic 

‘Resilience of Rural Women’. 

Helen Wylie will lead the discussion from the Miles Hospital, 

and she will be the master of ceremonies for the occasion. 

The panel itself is filled with some remarkable women from all 

different walks of life, including Susan Gale, the President of 

the QCWA Miles Branch. 

Marrissa Moore, the Health Service Navigator for the Western 

Downs, RHealth, and Anna Fields, the Origin Access Manager 

(Reedy Creek, Combabula & Peat) and local landholder will 

also be on the panel. 

The final stops will be taken by Margaretta Morgan and Robyn 

Nixon, who are also local landholders. 

Due to coronavirus restrictions, the local event does have 

number restrictions and for unable to be in attendance will 

be able to view the session online with a recording to be 

made available. 

The second event is ‘Taking Time to Connect’ and is in Ayr at 

could have probably played any other team 

in our competition the same wat we played 

against Dalby and probably would have 

smashed them," he said. 

"It's just that the rivalry between Dalby 

and us, we all just lift for the occasion, and 

unfortunately we just didn't lift enough." 

Coach Joe Calleja said that even though the 

Bears lost on the scoreboard, the team didn't 

lose on the par. 

"I think we played well enough that if things 

went our way we could have drawn the game 

or even won the game," he said. 

"It's just unfortunate the bounce of the ball 

didn't go our way. 

"The boys played a fantastic game, and to 

their credit, they lifted for the occasion. 

"They deserved a lot more out of that game 

than what they got. 

"We will go back again and definitely know 

we can beat them. 

"Hopefully it's in the grand final and a few 

bounces go our way and we win." 

"We know we can beat them because we beat 

them in the first game this year," Jonty added. 

Despite the loss, it did provide an opportunity 

for the team to take something out of it and 

moving forward they know what they must 

work on. 

According to Jonty, it's all about the intensity 

on par. 

If there is a 50/50 ball, the team needs to 

make sure they are reading it as a 100/0 ball, 

not a 50/50 one. 

"If there is a ball free in no man's land and two 

players are coming into it, we need to have 

that mental mindset that we are going to get 

that ball first," he said. 

Nearing the end of the season and with a goal 

to finish in the top two, the loss does mean 

the Bears were unable to steal the spot over 

their Western Downs rivals, and with only two 

away games left for the season, that goal has 

been a little bit harder now. 

The team will be heading off next weekend to 

Toowoomba to take on the West Wanderers 

who do sit below them on the table however 

they certainly aren't seeing it as an easy 

match. 

Jonty explained that only a few days the 

team got a little bit of scare when playing the 

bottom of the table, allowing them to score 

in the first four minutes of the game. 

"That afternoon was a massive wakeup call 

for us that we had to pull our finger out and 

get into gear," he said. 

"Fortunately, enough we ended up winning 

that game 3 -1. 

"So next weekend we need to make sure we 

are on from the first whistle. 

"Everyone after this COVID period who are 

playing in this competition, even though 

there is a last placed person and a first placed 

person, all teams are pretty on par, and it's all 

about who wants it more on the day." 

The game against the Wanderers will be 

held on Sunday, October 11 at the West 

Wanderers Field 1 in Toowoomba with kickoff 

at 11:00am. 

Football Chinchilla's senior women's team, 

the Honeybears were also scheduled to play 

on Saturday against the Gatton Redbacks 

the Burdekin Theatre, North Queensland. 

QRRRWN President, Tracy Martin said she feels deeply about 

the role of QRRRWN in connecting people across rural, 

regional and remote Queensland. 

“We are very excited about collaborating with local groups in 

the Burdekin and Western Downs to enable women in those 

regions to connect,” she said. 

“Overall, we have four events where you can connect in 

person in October and a range of events that are online 

(https://www.qrrrwn.org.au/events/). 

“Details will be available soon for two local events in 

Charleville and the South Burnett where the finalists for the 

Strong Women in Leadership Awards will be announced. 

“We are grateful to our co-hosts for the Burdekin Event, 

Burdekin Regional Council, Women in Sugar, Zonta Club 

Burdekin & Landholders Driving Change. 

“For the Miles event, we are grateful to our Sponsors Australia 

Pacific LNG Origin and Western Downs Regional Council 

and supporting partners Queensland Rural Medical Service, 

QCWA Miles and Condamine Branches, and RHealth.” 

During the week, which is between October 10 and October 

18, people across Queensland come together through 

events, conversations and activities to raise awareness of the 

importance of positive mental health and wellbeing. 

This year’s theme, Take Time for Mental Health, encourages 

people to take time for their mental health with steps simple 

actions that have been proven to improve wellbeing. 

They are: 

1. Get healthy – it is good for your mind as well as your body 

2. Keep learning – learning new things will make you more 

confident as well as being fun 

3. Show kindness – Practicing small acts of kindness, giving 

back or showing gratitude can help you feel more satisfied 

with life 

4. Connect more – spending time with other people is 

important to everyone’s mental wellbeing 

5. Take notice – stay in the moment and remember the simple 

things that give you joy 

6. Embrace nature – step outside, connect with the natural 

however they scared them off, and Gatton 

forfeited. 

The Honeybears next game will be against 

the Warwick Wolves on Sunday, October 11 

at the Captain Cook Reserve Des McGovern 

with kick-off at 11:00am.
