OPENING HOURS:-

MONDAY-FRIDAY 8.30am-6pm SATURDAY 8.30am-4pm

A new exhibit displaying the

region’s transport history has

been unveiled at Highfields.

The Frederick Stein Builder

exhibit was opened at the

Highfields Pioneer Village on

Wednesday with representatives

from the Department of Transport

and Main Roads and the

museum’s volunteers.

Built over an 18-month period,

the new exhibit contains

relics of old bridges from East

and West Creeks in Toowoomba

that were excavated by TMR in

2020, a model of what the bridge

would have looked like, and

tools used in construction during

the 1860s.

Highfields Pioneer Village

director Ray Ashford said the

bridges were the oldest artefacts

on display at the museum.

“I recognised the historic

significance of the bridge and

with TMR cultural heritage officer

Fay Prideaux’s enthusiasm,

thought we should take on this

project. This is a real part of

Toowoomba’s history.”

Frederick Stein built the first

Toowoomba town hall 1861

which would be the first purpose

built town hall in Queensland.

He also built the timber bridges

on East and West Creeks

where the culverts on James

Street are now located.

“I don’t know but I think

Frederick Stein would have had

a building like this, so we constructed

it in heritage style and

went to great lengths to build

it the way it would have been

built,” Mr Ashford said.

Ray Ashford Highfields Pioneer Village and

TMR district director Dereck Sanderson

“There are no angle brackets

or gang nails. It has all been

done as it would have been in

the 1860s.”

TMR district director for

Darling Downs Dereck Sanderson

said the Highfields Pioneer

Village had done a fantastic job

preserving a piece of history.

“The artefacts we have found

were quite extensive,” he said.

“Over the years, roads had

been built by just building on top

of what was there and because

we were trying to improve the

flood immunity in those creeks

we had to dig down which is

how we discovered these relics.

“Trying to preserve the history

that we found for the broader

community of Toowoomba, we

recognised how important it is

for the Toowoomba area to tell

a story that later generations are

not aware of.

“This serves a great opportunity

to showcase the challenges

that our pioneer parents had to

face.

“We’re thankful of the Highfields

Pioneer Village and everyone

else who was involved in

preserving this important part of

our history.” - Sean White

Breastfeeding Early Hours and Days

Breastfeeding gives your baby the best possible start, like

any new job it takes time, skills & patience.

Early days tips I’d love all mums to know before baby is born

….

Babies are usually quite awake in the first couple hours

after birth followed by a sleepiness.

Use this awake time to keep him skin to skin to allow his

natural feeding instincts to find and latch to the breast.

Looking for early feed cues of readiness to feed will help

baby practice latching & relatch calmly

Early feed cues might be

- Searching for breast with fingers & mouth

-Tongue movement or extension

-Wiggling and moving arms/ legs

-Little sounds or whimpers

Late feeding cues include moving arms & legs more, crying

and then falling sleep. Crying babies are less likely to be able

to attach well or organise himself to feed successfully.

Feed your baby early and often from birth practice before

milk comes in helping build a good milk supply

Begin to express colostrum within an hour of birth if your

baby isn’t ready to latch.

With short hospital stays; booking a pre-birth breastfeeding

consultation with me on www.redgateclinic.com.au around 32

weeks gives you the confidence, skills & knowledge to relax

while enjoying breastfeeding your baby minus unnecessary

hassle and pain

Most breastfeeding issues can be prevented or overcome

with consistent gold standard, evidence based breastfeeding

support

“ If Breastfeeding isn’t going as smoothly as you expected,

I can assess & help you quickly find solutions.

Happy Parenting, Sue”

Council installs new

parking meters

SMART PARKING APP NOTIFICATIONS TO BETTER MANAGE PARKING

Smart Parking in Toowoomba’s

CBD is a step closer, with

the installation of new parking

meters to start later this week.

Toowoomba Regional Council

Infrastructure Committee

Portfolio lead Cr Melissa Taylor

said the installation started on

Monday and would take about

five weeks.

“The first three weeks will see

crews install new meters. Paid

parking will still apply during

this time,” Cr Taylor said.

“In the final two weeks of the

program, crews will replace current

meters with new pay machines.

“Parking fees won’t be payable

in some locations during

this two-week transition period.

However, time limits will still

be enforced.

“Normal parking fees will

apply once installation is complete.

“Works near commercial sites

will be completed between 2

and 10pm and works near residential

properties will be carried

out between 8am and 4pm.

“Throughout the installation

period, there will be traffic controls

in place and we ask for

patience from the community

while this work takes place.

“These works follow the installation

of sensors in off-street

car parks, scheduled for completion

by the end of May.

“The CBD Smart Parking

Technology is on track to start

in July this year.

“Using this new technology,

motorists will be able to use

an app on their phone to easily

find available carparks and have

more payment options, including

contactless payment.

“For customers who choose

not to download the app, our existing

payment methods will still

Cooyar show welcomes all this weekend

This weekend will see showgoers

travelling to Cooyar as the

72nd Cooyar Show welcomes

visitors to celebrate the agricultural

achievements in the district.

The first show back since

2020, the Cooyar Show has a

wide range of activities for everyone

in the family to enjoy.

Cooyar Show Society chairman

Paul Barron said both the

show committee and local community

were stoked to see the

annual event welcome guests

again.

“We didn’t have our show

last year and postponed our usual

February date. Some people

were a little nervous,” he said.

“But once we get through

this weekend’s show, we will be

moving back to our regular February

schedule.”

Starting at 6.30am on Saturday,

the show kicks off with

campdraft events in the show

ring which will be followed by

stud beef, led steer and heifer

competitions

This year’s show has seen a

strong campdraft section with

PBR INCLUDED IN ADMISSION PRICE FOR SATURDAY’S PROGRAM

competition being held on both

Friday and Saturday.

Mr Barron said the show committee

had received 650 entries

for this year’s event.

“We were surprised to see so

many people enter in the competition

but the Cooyar Showgrounds

are one of the best facilities

for campdrafts.”

With a host of sponsors supporting

this weekend’s event, the

show society has organised plenty

of entertainment ranging from

horsemanship displays, live music,

fireworks and more.

“For the first time in four

years, we have the PBR coming

back to Cooyar,” Mr Barron

said.

“Usually, there is an additional

cost to see the PBR at other

shows but not at the Cooyar. We

like to keep the cost low so that

families can enjoy the show.”

Gates open at 6.30am on Saturday.

Admission is $20 for adults,

$5 for children aged 15-12 and

free for children under 12.

From the

President

Nice to see some sunny days finally, after so much rain

– good for the lawn mowing and garden maintenance

businesses, who will be run off their feet. That is, if you

don’t have a fit, young person in your household to do the

mowing for you.

Speaking of young people, the Highfields Chamber of

Commerce is keen to develop the relationship between the

business community and our large cohort of local secondary

school students.

In August, the Highfields Chamber will host an Industry and

Careers Dinner to enable students to talk directly with people

who work or run businesses in the industries that they are

interested in.

It will be about providing practical and lived-experience

information to students from people who intimately know and

understand their industry.

There is likely to be speakers discussing various career

options as well.

The intention is also to help young people become aware

of the local business employment options and how businesses

have started and grown in our area.

The Highfields Chamber is currently working with our

local secondary schools and Department of Small Business,

Education and Training on a format for the evening.

We would be happy to hear from any businesses who would

like to be involved, who feel pride in what they do as a business

and want to give back to our local community by imparting

their knowledge and experience.

Please send an email through to secretary@highfieldschamber.

com.au for more information.

Check out our website – www.highfieldschamber.com.au –

Lewis Puschmann celebrates his 90 years

Despite many roads being cut

family and friends gathered at

the Crows Nest Lutheran Hall

for a morning tea open house to

celebrate Lewis Puschmann’s

90th birthday.

Family and friends travelled

from Maidenwell, the

Toowoomba.

Apologies were received from

the local area, Hervey Bay and

Gympie.

Master of ceremonies Pastor

Robyn Hoffmann made a tribute

speech to Lewis, recognising

his faithful service to his church

community, his humble attitude

to life, his loyal friendship, and

his sharp mind and quick wit.

The birthday cake, made and

decorated by Donna-Maree Reushle,

was a prize-worthy fruit

cake professionally decorated

in the party colours of gold, silver

and black and trimmed with

“split-post fencing” to honour

Lewis’s life on the land.

The bring a plate to share invitation

resulted in a splendid

assortment of delightful treats

Health service looks at the possibilities of drones

Darling Downs Health in conjunction

with Swoop Aero is

exploring the implementation

of a drone pilot program that

will see dispatch hubs launched

within the Health Service, delivering

essential supplies, test

samples and pharmaceuticals

between facilities.

Darling Downs Health executive

director of infrastructure

Dr Paul Clayton said the pilot

would be a first for Queensland,

if not Australia.

“We’re really pushing the

edge of medical innovation with

this pilot and as far as we know,

there isn’t another hospital or

health service that is ready to

implement a pilot like this or

have something already in operation.

“We’ve been talking to Swoop

Aero for a number of years and

to be in a position where we

could implement this service by

the end of 2022 is an incredible

achievement.”

Travelling at speeds of up to

115km/h, the Swoop Aero drone

would be dispatched from multiple

hub locations and service the

surrounding hospital and multipurpose

facilities.

“We envisage utilising the

likes of Goondiwindi, Dalby

or Chinchilla, Kingaroy and

Toowoomba as the hub locations

to be used to fly different goods

to our facilities, be unloaded, or

released from the air and return

back to base in a very timely

manner.” Dr Clayton said.

Swoop Aero CEO Eric Peck

said that it was a great opportunity

for communities.

“This collaboration with

DDHS is a fantastic opportunity

for communities across

Queensland. We’re currently

awaiting the outcome of an application

for a federal grant from

the Emerging Aviation Technology

Partnerships program,

which would help bring this service

to fruition,” he said.

“A large-scale pilot with

DDHS will present life-changing

opportunities to patients and

communities and is in line with

our goal of reaching 100 million

people in 2025.

“The technology has already

been successfully deployed

across nine countries and three

continents, delivering more than

790,000 items.”

Are your keys accessible to thieves?

Police are calling for residents

to be more vigilant with their

personal security to help curb

thieves stealing vehicles.

Senior Constable Belinda

Elks said offenders often take

advantage of unlocked doors

and windows, looking for vehicle

keys in areas such as key

hooks and bowls near doors.

“It’s not uncommon for residents

to be home and unaware

of thieves entering their home,”

she said.

“Having a vehicle stolen is

stressful, inconvenient and costly

and can be prevented.”

Steps that can be taken to

reduce the risk of your vehicle

being stolen include: locking

up cars and property, keeping

valuables and money out of

sight, contact police immediately

about the crime and with the

relevant information, and keep a

look out within the community.

Snr-Con Elks said one-in-two

cars stolen in Queensland were

stolen using the car’s keys.

QPS Crime Prevention Unit

Sergeant Tony Rehn said most

crimes were opportunistic in nature

with thieves targeting cars

not necessarily the person.

“The majority of these crimes

have come from unsecured

homes. Particularly if the garage

door is open and the adjoining

door between the garage and the

home is unlocked,” he said.

“We have found several incidences

where the keys have

been left in the cars in the drive

a rush and that is not to blame

“The trusted pamphlet people”

staff on the ground, I am confident

that the use of drones will

provide better outcomes to the

Health Service, patients and the

community,” Dr Clayton said.

Swoop Aero Australian operations

manager Daniel Scandar

said the drones were totally autonomous.

“The great thing about these

drones is they are totally autonomous

as they fly.

The Land Rover LifeFlight

Special Mission helicopter has

joined the flood emergency taskforce,

helping Queensland Fire

and Emergency Services to be

strategically positioned to quickly

respond to calls for help.

The rescue chopper was

tasked by QFES to relocate four

swift water rescue crew members

and their specialised equipment

from Brisbane to Warwick.

Footage taken from the helicopter’s

onboard camera shows

the widespread impact of the

heavy rain and flooding, in the

Southern Downs region.

It is said that are five main languages of love.

Words of affirmation, quality time, giving gifts,

acts of service and physical touch.

Words of affirmation can include; encouragement,

praise, and even agreement on some issues,

as opposed to just presenting your own view. Encouragement

and praise for even small positive

steps forward reaps great rewards for teachers and

parents that understand a person whose main love

language is words of affirmation.

Quality time is perhaps the least understood of

the love languages, especially in todays fast paced

world. All the gifts in the world, or heaps of praise

will not satisfy those whose love language is quality

time. These people’s understanding of love

is defined by how much time loved ones give to

them; and are usually the ones to express their love

by being the ones to give time to others, whether it

be family or friends.

These types are often the first to initiate visits

and phone calls to keep in contact.

Giving of gifts is another language of love, and

for some people, it is their primary way of showing

it. Sometimes these people will buy seemingly

unnecessary gifts, or expensive ones, as it is their

main understanding of how to express love.

Acts of service is also a viable way of showing

your love for someone.

People whose main love language is in this category

are often the first to offer to do the dishes or

run errands for others.

Physical touch is another way of showing your

love. It is a well known fact that older people in

homes who receive touch through hugs or a hand

held, thrive in comparison to those who receive

very little physical touch.

This is true of course right throughout our lives.

This outline of the five main love languages is just

a small picture of how love can be expressed.

All of us can, and do, use most of them, but generally

there is one that is more meaningful to us

than the others.

It is helpful to recognise that there are these differences.

Within a family or marriage for example, one

member who craves quality time may feel unloved

at times if other members of the relationship express

their love in other ways.

Jesus expresses His love for us in all five ways.

CHRISTIAN COMMENT

The languages of love

“Swoop Aero’s design and

operational philosophy includes

complete automation of the airborne

system.

“Our strategic decisions are

also able to be made and programmed

prior to the aircraft

being launched.”

“For example, we pre-plan the

flight path, set altitude and speed

and away we go.

“This mitigates the risk of human

error through automation,”

Mr Scandar said.

While waiting for the outcome

of the grant application, Darling

Downs Health will continue to

work with Swoop Aero to refine

the planned hubs, flight paths

and frequency of the drone deliveries.

It is hoped that once the grant

is approved the pilot will commence

by the end of the year.

Rescue helicopter assists in

flood emergency

The Land Rover LifeFlight

Special Mission helicopter is

a Queensland-based aerial response

asset and is operating out

of LifeFlight’s Archerfield base,

after QFES requested it be readied

to support their response to

the flooding threat posed by the

current weather system.

Anticipating the requirement

for extra aerial support for their

ground crews, QFES requested

the aircraft be configured for

Search and Rescue missions

and transport of personnel and

equipment to areas in most need.

Every detail of the Land Rover

LifeFlight Special Mission

helicopter is specifically designed

for emergency response

deployment.

The aircraft is part of Life-

Flight Australia’s commercial

operation, which supports the

work of the community helicopter

fleet, through our profit-for-purpose

model.

His words of affirmation run throughout the Bible

both in the Old Testament and the New.

Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the thoughts I think

towards you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace, and

not of calamity, to give you a future and a hope.”

Ephesians 1:6 “To the praise of the glory of his

grace, by which he made us accepted in the beloved.”

Jesus promises that He is right here to give us

HIS TIME whenever we call upon Him.

Psalm 91 “He shall call upon me, and I will answer

him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver

him, and honour him.”

Hebrews 13:5 “I will never leave you or forsake

you.”

Jesus is the greatest GIFT GIVER, offering us

gifts of peace, joy and love.

Romans 1:7 “Grace to you and peace from God

our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.”

John 15:11 “These things have I spoken to you,

that my joy may remain in you, and that your joy

may be full.”

Jeremiah 31:3 “I have loved you with an everlasting

love; therefore with lovingkindness have I

drawn you.”

The book of Mark focuses on Jesus as a SER-

VANT King.

Mark 10:45 “For the Son of man came not to be

served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom

for many.”

John 13:14 “if I then, your Lord and Master,

have washed your feet; you also ought to wash one

another’s feet.”

His PHYSICAL TOUCH comes to us in many

ways. A cuddle from a child, an arm around our

shoulder from a friend in times of need. The warm

embrace of a loved one, or love from a pet. It’s also

possible to feel Gods touch in nature. The softness

of moss, a breeze through our hair, the warmth of

the sun on our skin, or the spray from surf or a

waterfall.

Dear Jesus, Thank you so much that you reach

out to me with your love in so many different ways.

Please help me to recognise your love towards me,

and to love you in return. Amen

Quality programs help children’s development at Oak

Oak on Erin service manager Janiene Scott with Aniyah and Jaylee.

Oak Early Education services in Toowoomba

have been providing quality programs to help

children with their development and provide a

positive experience over the past 20 years.

Educators from Oak on South, Oak on Jellicoe

and Oak on Erin have a wide array of educational

programs to prepare children for the future.

The Toowoomba centres led by Jane Lindsay

at Oak on South, Megan Davis at Oak on Jellicoe

and Janiene Scott at Oak on Erin deliver

childcare with individualised programs that include

learning through play, language classes,

outdoor activities, healthy eating and more.

Mrs Lindsay said the centre’s lead educators

have processes in place to ensure consistent and

quality lesson planning and programs that align

with the Early Years Learning Framework.

“While providing our regular programming,

each of the Oak services in Toowoomba have

extracurricular activities that engage the children

with culture, art, sustainability and nutrition,”

she said.

Some of these extracurricular activities at the

Oak Early Education services include Making

Rainbows which gets children active with music

and movement, and the Guiding Kulture program

which gets the children engaged with Aboriginal

and Torres Strait Islander culture.

Mrs Scott said her and her team ran an open

play-based program where they do intentional

teaching through the children’s interest.

“We structure our programs with what families

are doing at home or maybe things that they

might need help with,” she said.

“Working with our community helps us put

together our programs to have a positive impact

for the children and their families.”

Play has been long recognised as crucial element

in children’s development which all three

Oak services have fostered since opening their

gates.

Ms Davis said children learnt more when they

were engaging with course material they’re enthusiastic

about.

“The children really love the music and movement

programs like making rainbows which

helps the children develop their speech, language

and movement skills,” she said.

“I believe that having an understanding about

how children grow and develop is a crucial key

in designing engaging programs for early education.”

Mrs Scott said she had seen the programs at

the oak early education services have a positive

impact on the children.

“Both the music and the yoga programs are

relaxing process teach the children how to

self-regulate through music, body movement or

sensory activities which has been a nice way for

them to calm down,” she said.

“Teaching children to self-regulate early helps

them interact with their social interactions which

equips them for school when they get older.”

Ms Davis said it was important to also keep

parents in mind when coming up with programs

to ensure their children have a positive experience.

“The experience that the families have here at

our service is just as important as the experience

their child has,” she said.

“Parents frequently tell us how amazed they

are at how welcoming the service feels.”

Big on demonstrations at Elders FarmFest

With more than 2000 company products and

services represented at Elders FarmFest 2022

– Queensland’s premier primary industry field

days – the event is big on new information,

new products and new services to be showcased

during the in-person event.

“It’s an expectation,” said Kate Nugent, Group

Manager of ACM Rural Events, field day organisers,

“for farmers to be able to see what’s new and what’s

the latest as they work to meet the challenges facing

today’s rural sector.”

We all know seeing a product on display is great,

as you can get up close to examine every nut, bolt

and feature but the opportunity to see it demonstrated

is an important element in stimulating a sale between

buyer and seller. The Elders FarmFest field

day site will be bursting with an abundance of live

action demonstrations.

There will be dedicated demonstration areas featuring

four wheel drive vehicles, SXS safety training

lessons, motor bike skill displays and the farm

machinery and drone demonstration area. This year

has seen increased particular interest in drone technology,

resulting in FarmFest creating a Drone Zone

area where you can see a range of drones that serve

many purposes.

You’ll hear the FarmFest Event Program announced

on FarmFest Radio FM 94.5 at regular intervals

throughout the day or the FarmFest app to

provide program days, times and location.

You can experience the Caterpillar Global Operator

Challenge, carbon farming presentations, saw

mill demonstrations, livestock led steer and heifer

competitions, farm machinery, fencing, drones, tool

demonstrations and much more.

● Hastings Deering will present the Caterpillar

Global Operator Challenge daily from 10am to 1pm

at the Farm Machinery Demonstration Area

Pat Weir MP- Member for Condamine

Agriculture is a major contributor to our economy and

employs a significant number of people.

In the Condamine electorate there is a wide diversity of

agricultural operations with feedlots, poultry and egg

production, horticultural cropping growing carrots,

lettuce and broccoli, cotton, cereals, grains and pulses,

thoroughbred breeding, and pork production to name

a few.

The Farmfest field days are important to agricultural

producers, enabling them to learn about new

technologies and products on the market, and network

with manufacturers, engineers and fellow producers.

I wholeheartedly support this annual event.

Vice-Chancellor Professor

Geraldine Mackenzie said along

with university partners the Australian

National University and

the University of South Australia

and industry partners, the

University would lead Australian

breakthroughs in an area of

critical national manufacturing

priority.

“USQ is already a leader in

space manufacturing with expertise

in hypersonic propulsion

systems, advanced materials,

and astrophysics,” Professor

Mackenzie said.

“iLAuNCH Hub will improve

Australia’s skills in the space

sector, providing new jobs and

boosting the economy, and also

help ensure our country’s space

expertise grows well into the future.”

It is anticipated that the new

hub will generate over $3.65 billion

in economic benefits across

the region and Australia.

Minister for Regionalisation,

Regional Communications

and Regional Education Bridget

McKenzie said the project

would have a significant impact

on regional areas right across the

country.

“The new University of Southern

Queensland Trailblazer will

turbocharge our growing space

industry, helping us to achieve

our goal of having 20,000 space

sector jobs by 2030,” Senator

McKenzie said.

“This Trailblazer funding is

part of our plan for a stronger,

sustainable and more prosperous

regional Australia and

means more jobs right here in

Queensland, a stronger research

and development sector and a

stronger economy.”

USQ’s Institute for Advanced

Engineering and Space Sciences

Executive Director Professor Peter

Schubel said the hub would

support industry to address sovereign

space manufacturing.

“iLaunch will operate as a national

space commercialisation

Hub with three nodes – USQ,

ANU in the Australian Capital

Territory, and UniSA in South

Australia,” Professor Schubel

said.

“Our industry partners have

identified $3.65 billion in economic

benefits associated with

the 18 core iLaunch commercialisation

projects, which will

accelerate Australian IP to market,

and the development of a

Space Engineering Degree that

will create a pipeline of skilled,

job ready engineers into this exciting

high-value, high-growth

sector.

“The program will provide

critical research, equipment and

infrastructure in support of rocket

manufacturing, rocket launch

and in-space hardware such as

satellites, communications and

sensors.”

regional Queensland for rocket

manufacturing and associated

supply chain development, servicing

civil and defence requirements.

Director of the ANU Institute

for Space Professor Anna Moore

said Australia had breathtaking

capability to offer the global

space industry.

“Key to success is working

with each other across states to

offer our best efforts in a focused

and purposeful way,” Professor

Moore said.

“That’s what makes this project

so special. It’s what it takes

to create sovereign capability

and to educate our next generation

of Australians who will be

excited and proud to grow our

space industry.”

Research a blow to powdery mildew

Director of the Centre for Crop Health Professor Levente Kiss, right, shows Matthew Skerman

from Nutrien AgSolutions the new app at a workshop hosted at USQ

The ongoing, unseasonable wet has delivered

an additional headache in the form of powdery

mildew for mungbean farmers in Queensland and

New South Wales.

A disease that impacts mungbean crops annually,

powdery mildew, thrives in milder temperatures

and high humidity – and can lead to yield

losses of up to 40 per cent if left unmanaged.

With little genetic resistance in current mungbean

varieties, management of the disease relies

heavily on the application of fungicides.

Now, a project co-funded by the Grains Research

and Development Corporation and the

University of Southern Queensland, is working

to make management easier and minimise the impact

of powdery mildew on the mungbean industry

through the use of a recently developed app.

Director of the University’s Centre for Crop

Health, Professor Levente Kiss, said the Powdery-

MildewMBM app supported farmers’ fungicide

application decisions.

“Using tools like this app also helps mungbean

growers to make assessments on a paddock by

paddock basis and and predict the likely economic

returns from the sprays,“ he said.

“The University of Southern Queensland is really

proud to be assisting GRDC in helping growers

realise the benefits of the app and supporting

them to lower the impact of powdery mildew

which is a significant issue.“

Professor Kiss is also leading another project

investigating the same issue that is looking at the

possible development of resistance to fungicides

in crop pathogens.

With the support of the Broad Acre Cropping

Initiative – a co-investment of the Queensland

Government Department of Agriculture and Fisheries

and the University of Southern Queensland

– the research team has for the first time recently

detected the DNA marker of resistance to a fungicide

used to control mungbean powdery mildew.

“There is mutation in the DNA of the pathogenic

fungi that causes this crop disease,“ Professor

Kiss said. “We have found this in the Darling

Downs region and that’s a major red flag,“ he said.

“Through our work with the Australian Fungicide

Resistance Extension Network, another

GRDC-supported project, we hope growers take

notice of this finding and make the most of the

Your local agent

useful guidelines developed by the Network to

apply fungicides more strategically to preserve

their effectiveness for many years to come. These

chemistries are still the best, and sometimes they

are the only tools we have, to control some of the

most significant crop diseases.“

Low grade NQ avocados dumped

Avocados Australia’s NQ Regional Director Jim

Kochi and CEO John Tyas have been responding

to reports that truckloads of low grade avocados

had been dumped at an Atherton Tablelands green

waste depot.

A video by a member of the public went viral

resulting in the public’s reaction of dismay at the

waste.

A few less numbers came forward this

week after some handy falls of rain

again. Most of the regular buyers were in

attendance with good added support from

feeder operators and restockers. Only a

handful of Cows were on offer which sold

to similar rates of last week, Heavy steers

to processors sold to with isolated sales

to 470ckg averaging around 424ckg.

Feeder cattle prices remained close to

last week with good competition on the

heifer portion. Light weight weaners are

still sort after with Oats starting to grown

Jim Kochi and John Tyas said the avocados

were from a large NQ packer, who had to contend

with the current over supply of avocados and the

difficulty in finding a market for the low grade

fruit.

It was explained the fruit could not be placed in

the markets or processors.

Some of the fruit had insect, disease, and sunburn

damage and was misshapen and was difficult to

even recover costs of labour, packaging, freight

which all have increased significantly.

They said that where possible, avocado growers

have been donating fruit to charities.

However, when there is a lot of lower grade fruit,

where possible, it has been sent for processing or

composting.

Hundreds of delegates at

floodplain conference

Floodplain Management Australia President

Ian Dinham and Queensland Flood Recovery

Co-ordinator Major General Jake Ellwood at

the Floodplain Management conference, at

the Empire precinct in Toowoomba.

Toowoomba hosted hundreds of delegates involved

in floodplain management, at a national

conference at the Empire theatre complex last

week.

More than 220 people from around Australia

and New Zealand attended. Another 100 participated

online.

Many were involved in planning and design in

urban areas, from government agencies, and engineers

from civil organisations.

Flooding in Queensland and Northern New

South Wales this year, and in recent days, provided

a backdrop to the conference.

Only last week, the towns of Laidley and Warwick

were flooded, and a decision was made to

demolish the Toombul Shopping Centre on Brisbane’s

inner north flood plain.

The Floodplain Management Association was

established following the disastrous New South

Wales floods of the 1950s to support and promote

best practice in floodplain management.

It has grown to a national association with links

to flood related organisations in the United States,

the United Kingdom, New Zealand and the Netherlands.

Among the leaders at the conference were

Floodplain Management Australia President Ian

Dinham, and Queensland Flood Recovery Co-ordinator

Major General Jake Ellwood who presented

a keynote address.

Redbacks girls show rugby excellence

Coach Ashley North with the Highfields Redbacks under 16s Reds

The young women in the Highfields Redbacks

Under 14s and Under 16s teams have continued to

display excellence on the field.

Nine players have been chosen to represent the region

in the Downs Rugby Under 15s team for the upcoming

SQ Rugby Championship next month, while

the Under16s team is on top of the Darling Downs

ladder.

Stav Purcell, Tayla Horrobin, Leteena Medland,

Jorja Murray, Rosie Tate, Millie Thompson, Sarah

Kelly, Kyah Zeller and Georgia Lynch will compete

against regional teams from Sunshine Coast,

Gold Coast and Far North Queensland from June 10

through to June 12.

Redbacks Under 16s coach Ashley North said being

chosen to play for a Downs Rugby team was a

great opportunity for the girls to get their name out

there.

“This tournament will present a challenge to the

girls.

“They have been playing seven-aside rugby but

CROWS NEST: It was terrific to get back on the

green after all of the rain for social midweek bowls

on Wednesday 18 May. A draw resulted between the

teams of Alan Richardson and Jim Walcroft, and Roy

Bell and Kerry Lovell.

Using the new midweek plan, the jackpot didn’t go

off, so it’ll just get bigger and bigger until it does. Better

luck next week players.

Regrettably, no 2021-22 intraclub matches were

played on Saturday, May 14, because of the unsuitable

weather. Games called for 2021-22 intraclub season

to be played on Saturday, May 28 are: Consistency

Singles - Paul McEwan v. John Fowler, and Kerry

Lovell vs Shane Case; Mixed Pairs - John Svensson

and Jenni Svensson v. Bevan Wingett and Bev Melit,

Vince Vaz and Maree Millin v. Lachlan Barnes and

Michelle Edser.

Competition games called for Saturday, June 4 are:

Open Pairs - John Fowler and Bill Perry v. Shane Case

and Brett Case. Veteran Singles - Kerry Lovell v. Don

Wagner.

Thrifty Thursday Bowls afternoon on May 12 also

fell victim to the uncertain rainy day.

Sunday, May 15’s Advertiser Shield sponsored by

Neil and Ann Lomas of the High Country Herald was

cancelled, but will be back on the calendar asap.

Coming events: Sunday, May 29 - Mixed social

bowls. Sunday, June 5 - Mixed social bowls; Sunday,

June 12 - Jenni and John Svensson’s Day. Sunday June

19 - Meats and More Arvo.

The next management committee meeting is

scheduled for Sunday, June 12 at 930.

Remember, new members and visitors are always

welcome at Crow’s Nest. Feel free to get in touch with

Gary Baker on bakescrowsnest@live.com.au or on

4698 2197. Or, you could log onto our website www.

the competition will be 15-aside, which is a different

game. These girls will go up against a lot of great

players in their age bracket which will be good experience

to improve their skills,” Mr North said.

While those nine players have been chosen to represent

the region, the Highfields Redbacks Under 16

Reds have been sitting at the top of the 2022 Mort

and Co under 16 Teenage Girls 7s with 31 points.

The Redbacks team is leading the competition

with seven wins and one loss being closely followed

by the Oakey Bears Reds.

“The girls who are in our A-team work have been

working well exceptionally.

“Our players go to all different schools but they

come together as a team on the field,” Mr North said.

“Both our Red team and Black team have done

extremely well in this season. Our Reds are sitting in

first place while our Blacks are in fourth place.

“These young women are a great representation of

women’s rugby.” - Sean White

Roller derby makes a skating comeback

Toowoomba City Rollers

have competed in

the first of many derby

competitions after a twoand-a-half-year

break.

Having only held

small games since the

end of 2019, the May 14

competition was a big

win for the Toowoomba

teams.

The Carnival Returns

event at the Clive

Berghofer Arena saw

40 junior players from

from Brisbane, Adelaide,

Newcastle, Hobart, Wollongong,

and the Sunshine

Coast.

Club president Raelene

Dennis said the

Toowoomba junior

teams had a great weekend,

with outstanding

talent from all who competed.

“Despite the weather,

we were fortunate

enough to get all of the

teams here,” Mrs Dennis

said.

“Roller derby has really

changed in Australia

in the past 10 years.

“There’s real effort

and dedication put into

the sport.

“I don’t think people

realise how much the

sport has really grown.

leagues across Australia, in almost every

state,” she said.

The Toowoomba club began in

2009 and started competing in 2010,

with their junior team set to compete in

Canada in 2020, but due to Covid-19

the competition was cancelled.

Now that restrictions have eased, the

junior team will have the opportunity

to compete in a world skating event to

be held overseas in 2023.

With no further competitions

planned in Toowoomba, the clubs senior

and junior teams will compete

in separate events in Brisbane later in

May for the seniors team and in Adelaide

for the juniors in September.

For those interested in joining the

club, intake sessions for both teams

take place at the beginning of each

school term.

“This gives new members time and

the opportunity to learn skating and

derby techniques, and safe practices of

derby,” Mrs Dennis said.

Dean is one of few agents

who really understands that

acreage blocks need to be

treated differently to your

usual suburban block. His

professionalism in handling

the sale was tops. He kept

us informed all the way and

achieved a result beyond

our expectations. Would

really recommend Dean to

anyone considering selling.
