Spies in the Suburbs: After dark museum event
The public is invited to a unique night at
Cobb and Co Museum this Friday, August
26, to hear first-hand the poignant account
of a peculiar childhood in 1950s suburban
Brisbane.
Sue-Ellen Doherty and her two siblings
were trained by their ASIO agent parents to
memorise car number plates, spot unusual
behaviour on the street and avoid drawing
attention to themselves.
The children became unwitting foot soldiers
in Australia’s battle against Soviet infiltration
during the Cold War. They attended political
rallies, stood watch on houses owned by
communist sympathisers, and insinuated
themselves into the UFO Society.
Hear from Sue-Ellen herself, along
with With My Little Eye author Sandra Hogan,
a book written about the Doherty family.
The doors open at 5.30pm for a 6pm start.
• Cost for the talk and night time tour is $25
and includes a drink on arrival and a delicious
tasting plate. It is an 18+ event.

CHRISTIAN COMMENT
The Bible covers many subjects
Are you a book reader? Studies on the brain
have shown that reading something in print results
in a far greater comprehension of what is read,
than reading from a screen does.
This is especially helpful while studying. Using
printed books rather than a screen helps in retaining
what is learned, as the brain processes the two
methods differently.
It has been found that when reading from a
screen many of the fine details can be missed.
Curled up with a good book allows the imagination
to ‘see’ the characters and places in a story
book, in a way that reading from a screen does not.
Reading to children also has myriads of benefits
and can result in everything from them developing
a high IQ, to improved imagination and creativity.
It also of course, creates a bond with the child,
spending time together enjoying a good book, and
helps to create a love of reading.
Reading online is becoming more and more important.
The continued development of our brain
right throughout life can be greatly enhanced if we
take time to read books. Reading is also proven to
increase relaxation and reduce stress.
In a fast paced world, reading is a great way to
unwind and relax.
Did you know that there are 66 books in the Bible?
Did you know that apart from the four Gospels
that cover the earthly life and ministry of Jesus,
most of the books are written about everyday
people like you and I?
Are you aware of the many subjects the Bible
covers? History, genealogy, law, philosophy, love,
proverbs, wars, prophecy, worship, salvation and
songs, to name a few. Then there are adventure
stories, signs, wonders and miracles, how to live
in peace and joy and instructions for right living.
The Bible covers stories of men, women and
children from the nameless to famous kings and
prophets. It records battles won, love lost, acts
of both bravery and cowardice, and personal triumphs
and failures of many kinds.
If you have a Bible on your bookshelf that is
unread, perhaps it is time to read it and discover
it’s value for yourself. There are numerous other
benefits of reading the Bible and Psalm 119 records
many of them. Verse 105 gives one aspect:
"Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my
path.” If you don’t have a Bible of your own and
would like one, please contact David Hiscock on
0448 982 919. - Contributed by John 15 Christian
