Acland granted mining lease after 12 years

A mining lease for Stage Three of

the New Acland coal mine has been

approved by the Queensland Minister

for Resources Scott Stewart.

The Minister issued a statement

late on Friday afternoon saying that

after careful consideration, he had

approved the mining lease.

Mr Stewart said the Acland

project also required an associated

water licence from the Department

of Regional Development, Manufacturing

and Water.

New Hope sought a mining lease

for Stage 3 of its Acland project more

than a decade ago, and when it ran out

of coal to meet export and domestic

markets from Stage 2 last year, more

than 400 workers lost their jobs.

New Acland Mine General

Manager, Dave O’Dwyer said the

historic development follows eight

months of extensive consultation

with New Hope Group and key

stakeholders and means the chief

executive of the Department

administered by Queensland

Minister for Water, Glenn Butcher,

can now grant New Acland Stage 3

an Associated Water Licence.

“The granting of New Acland

Stage 3’s Mining Leases is a

watershed moment in the long

running approvals process,” Mr

O’Dwyer said.

“Minister Stewart’s decision to

grant New Acland Stage 3 its Mining

Leases is proof the Queensland

Government believes the project

makes sense environmentally,

socially and financially,” Mr

O’Dwyer said.

Tree clearing angers residents

NEED STRONGER ACTION FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

Residents were in uproar last

week at the sight of native trees

being cleared for the latest development

at Highfields.

Work began on the multi-stage

development at Reis Road on

Monday, August 22 with the site

being cleared.

One of the trees cleared at the

site included a native pine species

that is protected under the

Nature Conservation Act.

Highfields botanist Shannon

Michael said the Callitris Baileyi

on the corner of Reis and Kuhls

Roads was improperly identified

in the development application’s

ecological report.

“The tree was identified as

Callitris correctly but they failed

to identify it as Baileyi which is

a huge oversight because you

you will only find two Callitris

in Highfields,” Mr Michael said.

“Baileyi is the near threatened

species which is protected and

the other is common and used

for wood harvesting but they are

very easy to tell apart.”

Mr Michael said the tree could

have been properly identified by

checking the leaves of smaller

Bailyeis on the nearby road reserve.

The Callitris Baileyi on the

corner of the block was identified

and registered by the

Queensland Government’s Wild-

Net conservation significant

sightings on January 16, 2019.

Mr Michael said the

Toowoomba Regional Council

was made aware of the tree when

the roundabout was upgraded

the same year it was identified.

“The significance of that tree

was its size. It was at least 25m

tall, about 400mm wide and

it will take about 300 years to

undo the damage of knocking it

down,” he said.

The first stage of the development

will see 48 lots developed

along the Reis Road side of the

block which Mr Michael said, by

removing one lot from the development

plan could have saved

the near threatened tree.

HIGHFIELDS

Drug Store

Callitris Baileyi aka Bailey’s

Cypress has a narrow range

along the Great Dividing Range

from the Bunya Mountains.

The tree can be distinguished

from other local cypress species

by the triangular look to its

branchlets which hold tiny, narrow

leaves that grow in whorls

of three.

The development application’s

ecological report designates

the tree as a Callitris spp

which indicates several species

of the tree, not the individual

species.

“It just baffles me how such

a large tree that is so significant

couldn’t be identified properly

and how the council accepted

that,” Mr Michael said.

The application for the reconfiguration

of two lots into 45 residential

lots, one utility lot and

a balance lot at Reis Road was

approved on June, 22.

Toowoomba developer Clive

Berghofer’s company Jeteld Pty

Ltd made the application to the


on November 26.

Nearby Highfields resident

Debbie Huxley said it was a distressing

sight to watch the land

being cleared at the start of last

week.

“I came out and tears welled

up for the wildlife, environment,

and what Highfields used to be,”

she said.

News of the development

quickly spread on social media

with residents sharing images of

land clearing with many expressing

their disgust at the clearing.

Mr Michael said there needed

to be stronger actions moving

into sustainable development.

“Toowoomba Regional Council

doesn’t have any local provisions

to protect trees as far as

I’m aware,” he said.

“I get development and it happens.

“It’s just frustrating that this

was overlooked, how the council

overlooked it, how the council

accepted the report and how

5 IMPORTANT TIPS

FOR MEN’S HEALTH

Taking charge of your health is important no matter your age,

gender, demographic or medical history - It is never to late to

develop healthy habits. Like women, men also require regular

checkups with their GP to manage health concerns and take steps

to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Regardless of your health status, if you’re ready to focus on a

healthier you, follow our 5 steps to live a healthier lifestyle.

1. Have regular checkups - even if you feel okay!

One way men can promote their own good health is to have an annual

wellness check, regardless of age or health concerns. Other then a

general screening, more specific tests for glucose, cholesterol and

blood pressure will keep your health in good condition.

2. Know your family history - and share it with your doctor

If your parents or close family have a history of hypertension, heart

disease, diabetes or other chronic diseases, you may be at an

increased risk of developing these yourself. Your doctor can assist in

making a plan to minimise the risk and increase your chance of early

detection.

3. Get some exercise.

It is encouraged to achieve at least 30 minutes of exercise a day.

For some, this can be quite difficult to achieve. However a 20 minute

walk a few times a week with family and pets, or regular outside play

with children or grandchildren, can provide heart healthy and stress

relieving benefits.

4. Schedule an appointment with your doctor when things seem off.

It’s important to see a doctor if you notice changes in your sleep or

bathroom habits, have a cut or sore that isn’t healing, notice changes in

your moles or birthmarks, or if you’re experiencing unexplained weight

fluctuations or sexual dysfunction.

Many significant health issues begin as minor problems that could have

been prevented or better managed under early detection. Rather than

taking a typical male approach of ‘toughing it out’, invest in good health

by discussing health concerns with your doctor.

5. Ask your doctor about cancer screenings.

Based on your age, family history and lifestyle choices, you may be

at an increased risk of developing cancer. It is recommended that you

undergo screening for colon, prostate and lung cancer.

written by current students

in collaboration with Josh Arnold

of Small Town Culture.

In recognition of its foundation

following the 100th school

anniversary in 1972, the Jondaryan

Woolshed will be open

to the public for the first time in

over two years.

Friends of the Woolshed

will open the site following the

school event for a community

celebration with hot pot dinner

and dancing to live music in

much the same way as it has for

the past 50 years.

Committee chair Steve Martin

said, “After an extended shutdown

for repairs by the council

it will be fantastic to again be

able to use this historic site.

“The school’s 100th anniversary

was the reason the Woolshed

was originally developed

as a historic site and has meant

a great deal to the region ever

since.

“We have been keen to see the

facility open to the public again

and the community have rallied

behind organisers to be able to

open to visitors again after such

a long hiatus.”

The historically listed St

Anne’s Church will also be holding

a service at 8am on Sunday,

September 4, for those wishing

to attend.

Registration for both the

school open day and the evening

at The Woolshed would be

greatly appreciated by the committee

and memorabilia can be

purchased to commemorate the

occasion.

Crows Nest charity festive celebration

Uniforms4Kids director Anne Macdonald

and Southern District Assistant

Commissioner Charysse Pond visited

the women from Uniforms4Kids Crows

Nest for a Christmas in August luncheon

at the Grand Old Crow on Tuesday,

August 23.

Crows Nest branch co-ordinator Nancy

Parker said it was great to see the

group receive the recognition from Uniform4Kids

and the local police.

“There are about 12 women in our

branch and they all work hard, providing

clothes for children in need,” she

said.

“Since the group started three years

ago, we have made about 3000 items of

clothing for the organisation.”

The Crows Nest Uniform 4 Kids sewing

group was established in 2019.

They meet every week repurposing

emergency services and Australia Zoo

uniforms into clothing for children in

need.

Uniforms4Kids repurpose creatively

refashioned clothes are utilised in many

different ways such as frontline officers

giving children clothes who are in remote

Australian communities, those

who have experienced emotional trauma

and more.

Ms Macdonald said she was impressed

with how quickly the Crows

Nest group established itself and started

sewing.

“I can remember when I first came

to Crows Nest when Nancy called saying

they wanted to be part of Uniform-

4Kids. It was amazing to see the interest

the women showed that day. Nancy

got the ball rolling and the group was

straight into it,” she said.

Mrs Parker said the Crows Nest

branch was looking for more sewers to

join the group.

“We can always do with more sewers,

so if there is anyone interested in joining,

we meet up every Tuesday morning

behind the Crows Nest Community Arts

and Crafts store.” - Sean White

Bushwalker lights fire to hail rescuers

APPROPRIATE ACTION LED TO A SUCCESSFUL OUTCOME

The Toowoomba-based RACQ LifeFlight Rescue

crew winched a 60-year-old woman to safety,

just before nightfall, after she became lost while

bushwalking at Crows Nest last week.

The chopper was tasked to the scene by the

Queensland Police Service, just before 5pm on

Tuesday, August 23, after the woman set off an

emergency position-indicating radio beacon hiking

at the Crows Nest Falls.

The pilot flew to the area, north-east of

Toowoomba, and began searching for signs of her

amongst the thick bushland.

The number one issue people

have been raising with me as

I travel around our region is

housing. Whether it is housing

affordability or housing

availability, there isn’t a corner

of Groom that is not affected by

the crisis.

Young people are struggling

to save a deposit, rental

property vacancy rates are at

all-time lows, and empty nesters

have very limited options for

downsizing.

Sadly, the crisis is also driving

up the incidence of homelessness

in Groom, especially amongst

women aged 55 and above.

When access to safe and secure

housing is unavailable, it

can impact a person’s health,

employment, and relationships.

I have recently attended

the National Homelessness

Conference in Canberra. The

message is that the housing crisis

cannot be solved by simply

throwing more money at it.

This is a nationwide problem,

and it will require all levels of

government working together to

solve it.

As Deputy Chair of the

Joint Standing Committee on

Economics, I will make sure

that Groom’s issues are being

listened to in Canberra. I will

continue listening and working

hard for you.

Talking Groom

Garth

Garth

HAMILTON MP

Federal Member for Groom

The well prepared bushwalker used a torch and

lit a small fire to alert the rescuers to her exact

location. A Queensland Ambulance Service Flight

Paramedic was then winched down to the woman.

She was hoisted into the safety of the helicopter

and, as she was uninjured, flown back to the

Toowoomba base. The crew said the woman’s

thorough preparation was key to her rescue.

“She had all the gear, she was a seasoned hiker

and did everything appropriately, which led to

a very successful outcome,” aircrew officer Tony

Connolly said. - Sean White

Make your Father smile with

a Crowie Card

A GIFT CARD FOR THE CROWS NEST COMMUNITY

It is time to think about a present for Father. A Crowie Card is an ideal way to

put a smile on his face. The WLT Crowie Gift Card Program involves creating

a gift card that is unique to the Crows Nest community.

Progress Crows Nest, representing the many Crows Nest Businesses, continues to

sponsor this gift card program which started last November. Supported with grants

from Toowoomba Regional Council and the Heritage Bank’s Progressive Community

Crows Nest, this program is an ideal way to chose a Fathers day present.

Cards can be purchased from Crows Nest News and Post Office or from Meats &

More. Both stores have been instrumental in the roll-out last year of this great community

gift card program. President of Progress Crows Nest offers much praise for

the efforts by Barry Robinson and his team at the Newsagency and Peter Kerr and his

team at Meats & More for making the program a success.

When a customer purchases a Crowie gift card, the holder can buy goods in any

participating store that’s part of the program. Crowie cards cannot be used outside of

the participating shops. This means that every time one of our cards is purchased, the

money stays local. The gift cards can be used more than once, across multiple stores,

and are the perfect gift for that sometimes ‘hard to buy for’ father.

The Crowie Card card can only be redeemed in Crows Nest. This means that every

time a Crowie Card is purchased it is supporting the Crows Nest community. As little

as $1 to as much as $1000 can be loaded onto a single gift card. The cards are single

load only which means that additional amounts cannot be loaded onto the card after

the initial purchase. All transactions work through Eftpos machines which means

that redeeming goods and services with the WLT Gift Card is the same as making an

Eftpos purchase with your bank credit card or debit card.

Highfields Probus tour Wellcamp airport

Thursday, July 21 was a wet,

foggy and miserable day in

Highfields.

So, it was a challenge for 30

members of the Highfields Probus

Club to drive to the Wellcamp

Airport where our tour director

Marilyn had organised for

us to tour the facility.

On arrival, our guide gave us

a brief history of the airport’s

fast construction and cost by the

Wagner Corporation. He spoke

at length of its current freight

abilities.

After a Devonshire morning

tea, it was all aboard for the tour

of the airport facilities and surrounding

industrial park.

Our guide highlighted the recently

completed RSPCA complex,

QANTAS Flight Training

Centre with connections

to USQ, and the Quarantine

Facility which was constructed

due to the ongoing COVID 19

pandemic.

Sounds of Spring band concert

Crows Nest Arts Council is

presenting Sounds of Spring, a

live band music concert, on Saturday,

September 3, at 2pm at

the Crows Nest Community and

RSL Centre.

The afternoon will feature

the visiting West Winds Ensemble

from Brisbane and the local

High Country Community Band

and HCC performing a program

of popular music.

The BrizWest West Winds

Concert Band likes to play a

wide range of music from many

genres.

Their repertoire includes arrangements

of themes from movies

and musicals, well known

marches and classical favourites,

some jazz standards and familiar

pop tunes, and even some new

pieces written just for the band.

For their concerts, they choose

music sure to entertain the audience.

Formed just under five years

ago, the local High Country

Community Band has gone from

strength to strength, attracting

musicians from Toowoomba to

Crows Nest.

Since its inception, the band

has played at several local

events and has competed at the

Toowoomba Eisteddfod.

Admission for the afternoon

is just $15 for adults and concession

holders. Children 12 years

and under are free.

Afternoon tea is included in

Members of Highfields Probus Club reflecting on their tour of

Among other complexes in

the park are several which have

been built for recycling waste

products.

As originally intended, Wellcamp

was built by Wagners

as a freight hub connecting

Toowoomba and the surrounding

regions to the world and so

it has, setting a cracking pace to

achieve its future dream.

Mary MacKillop students rise up

The story of how a stolen

bike leads to world domination,

gained multiple performance and

production awards for the primary

dance and drama students at

Mary MacKillop Catholic College

at the Queensland division

of Wakakirri held in Brisbane

from August 10 to 17.

The Wakakirri Story-Dance

Festival is a national program

that helps schools develop student

engagement and wellbeing

through participation in the performing

arts.

The college’s performance,

their first ever entry, titled Muhammad

Ali’s Rise to Glory was

an idea inspired by the 2022

Wakakirri theme of rise and the

notion that great stories inspire

change.

Middle Leader of Arts and

Student Engagement Jess Burke

along with Dance and Drama

Teacher Chloe Lauverjon developed

the idea into an inspiring

story and award-winning performance

for her students to showcase

at this state-wide festival

and competition.

“We wanted to inspire students

to continue to fight adversity and

understand the importance of

this story, while ensuring our

content was age appropriate and

sensitive to cultural issues,” Ms

Lauverjon said.

Year 5 performer Sophilee

Condon said it was a story that

reminded the students how important

it was to accept people

for who they are, no matter their

difference.

The students from Year 3 to

7 have been rehearsing for this

performance since the commencement

of the school year,

committing many additional

hours to perfect the show.

“It was great to see so many

young ones show interest in participating

in this event, and it’s

really important that they have

fun throughout the process,” Ms

Lauverjon said.

Muhammad Ali’s story of

challenging acceptance in society

draws parallels to other common

issues we face today.

“We want all students to learn

how to embrace persistence and

resilience as a strength and really

challenge the mindset with

our young people,” Ms Burke

said.

The cast of 27 performed in

front of a sold-out crowd of more

than 1000 people at the Logan

Entertainment Centre and came

away with a nomination for the

National Festival Award: Human

Rights Story Award, as well

as five awards in the excellence

category for theme and concept,

ensemble, staging, costume design

and sound track mix.

Third person arrested in Harlaxton

shooting investigations

As investigations of Operation

Tyne continue, Toowoomba

CIB and Homicide Unit detectives

arrested a third person involved

in the alleged murder of

Thor Morgan.

Detectives arrested a 36-yearold

Goondiwindi woman at

Goondiwindi on Wednesday

morning. She was alleged to be

directly involved in the alleged

shooting.

The woman who would later

be identified as Tina Kathleen

Hazard was charged with one

count each of murder, unlawful

possession of weapons and unlawful

use of a motor vehicle.

Hazard is the latest person to

be arrested over the shooting

of Mr Morgan with detectives

Mark Freund, Cambooya, on

Monday, August 15 and 24-yearold

Isobel Rose Higgins, Nobby

on Thursday, August 18.

Detective Inspector Heath

McQueen said police allege

Hazard was in the vehicle on the

night Mr Morgan was shot.

“The arrest of this female follows

the arrest of a 24-year-old

male with murder and the arrest

of a 24-year-old female with accessory

after the fact to murder

and I do envisage that there will

be further arrests in relation to

New speed limit signs will be installed within

the next month on Esk-Hampton Road.

The Southern Queensland Regional Director

for Transport and Main Roads, Bill Lansbury said

the changes were in response to a review which

recommended lowering the speed limit on a 10km

section of Esk-Hampton Road, between Horrex

Road and McQuillan Road to 90km/h from

100km/h.

“The review also recommended an increase of

10km/h between Blanck Road and Shearer Road

where the speed limit is currently 80km/h,” Mr

Lansbury said.

this matter,” he said.

“Those involved need to be

mindful that we don’t intend to

go away. We’ll continue investigating

until we’re satisfied every

person culpable for this offence

has been held accountable.”

At approximately 2.50am on

March 15, Mr Morgan was driving

a vehicle on Ruthven Street

when a firearm was discharged

from a stolen Dual Cab.

Mr Morgan was subsequently

located at a Coonan Street address,

with a gunshot wound to

his head.

As a result of his injuries Mr

Morgan passed away in Princess

Alexandra Hospital on May 16.

Hazard appeared before the

Toowoomba Magistrates Court

on Thursday, August 25.

Freund has remained in custody

and will appear at the

Toowoomba Magistrates Court

on September 6.

Higgins was granted bail with

her matter being adjourned and

is expected to return to court on

to the incident and have assisted

of evidence.

Investigations are ongoing.

Changes to speed zones

“The assessment also recommended installing

warning signs to better inform motorists of upcoming

road conditions and intersections on this

winding rural road that is popular with tourists.”

Mr Lansbury said the review process considered

a range of factors such as road function, roadside

environment, road construction standards, prevailing

traffic speeds and crash history.

The safety signage includes advanced warning

for upcoming intersections and reminders to take

care in crash zones.

Motorists are urged to observe the new speed

limit signage and to always drive to conditions.

Spotlight on nutrition this Iron Awareness Week

The critical contribution of Australian beef as a nutritional

powerhouse fuelling sustainable diets and the wellbeing of

communities across the world is in focus this World Iron Awareness

Week, August 22- 28.

Australian beef provides 12 essential nutrients recommended for

good health, with an average 150g serving (raw weight) of lean red

meat providing an excellent source of iron, zinc and vitamin B12. It

also delivers more iron than other animal proteins such as chicken

or fish.

The World Health Organisation says iron deficiency affects one

third of the world’s population, with those most at risk being infants,

children, and teenagers, who are growing rapidly, and pregnant

women, who need iron for increased blood levels and to build their

baby’s iron stores.

In Australia, the WHO estimates that anaemia caused by iron

deficiency affects 8 per cent of preschool children, 12 per cent of

pregnant women and 15 per cent of women of reproductive age.

Because the body can’t make iron on its own, it gets it from the

food we eat. Popular sources of iron include iron-fortified breakfast

cereals, poultry, fish, spinach, tofu and red meat.

ABSF Sustainability Steering Group Chair, Mark Davie, said

nutrition was one of the eight priorities of the People and The

Community theme of the ABSF and central to the wellbeing of

global populations.

“When we talk about sustainability, very often it is the

environment or animal welfare that first comes to mind, however

protecting the health of our communities through provision of high

quality and nourishing food is also of the utmost importance when

taking a holistic view,” Mr Davie said.

“World Iron Awareness week is like a beef week we have every

year! The iron in Australian beef is predominantly haem iron; and is

more bioavailable, meaning it is more readily absorbed by the body

than non-haem iron that is available mostly from plant sources.”

Not consuming enough dietary iron, heavy blood loss, and regular

vigorous exercise can all lead to low iron levels. People who don’t

eat much red meat or follow a vegetarian or vegan diet may also find

it a challenge to consume adequate iron.

The Australian Dietary Guidelines recommend 65g lean, cooked

red meat a day, or 455g a week (equivalent to 650g raw weight),

where red meat includes beef, lamb, pork, kangaroo and game

meats.

Typical servings of red meat in popular meals range from 100 to

200g (raw weight) so the amounts recommended in the Australian

Dietary Guidelines can be enjoyed as part of healthy, balanced

meals three to four times a week.

There are three simple ways to promote sustainable eating, while

continuing to enjoy the taste and nutritional benefits of Australian

beef:

• Maintaining a healthy weight by eating all foods in recommended

amounts

• Improving diet quality by eating a variety of nutrient-rich foods

to promote health and wellbeing

• Reducing household food waste by purchasing, cooking and

serving only what you need.

Australian beef - nutritional power house

“Australian beef really is the best in the world and a naturally

nutritious food that can be enjoyed as part of a healthy diet. I

encourage everyone to enjoy a dish featuring lean red meat this

World Iron Awareness Week,” Mr Davie said.

Third biggest lamb production on record

The Australian Bureau of Statistics has released the

official livestock and production figures for the second

quarter of 2022.

The data also provided insights on slaughter, production,

value and carcase weight for sheep and cattle for

the 2022 financial year.

The value of cattle slaughtered in FY2022 was a new

financial record totalling $14.48b AUD, this was $2.2b

higher than the value of cattle slaughtered in FY2021.

Q2 of 2022 recorded the highest value of cattle

slaughtered ever, hitting $3.85b for the quarter and 20

per cent higher than Q2 2021.

High livestock prices were behind the record value of

livestock slaughtered in FY22 - $2,457.82, 25.7 per cent

higher than FY21 prices.

Sheep: The value of lambs and sheep slaughtered in

FY22 was $5,13b.

This figure is 14.5 per cent above the value of sheep

and lambs slaughtered in FY21.

Q2 FY22, October to December 2021, was the quarter

recording the highest value of sheep slaughtered ever.

The average price for a finished lamb/sheep in FY22

was $189.39, up 10.5 per cent on 2021.

2021 reached processing weights in 2022, Q2 of this

year saw an increase in slaughter volumes of 11.2 per

cent quarter-on-quarter, with 1.49m head processed.

The biggest jump in quarterly slaughter was in

Tasmania, increasing by 13.4 per cent, followed by

Queensland, which was up 13.2 per cent.

For FY22 Australian cattle slaughter was 5.89m, this

is 6.6 per cent below the 2021 levels. Queensland was

responsible for 47.7 per cent of all cattle slaughtered last

financial year.

According to Stephen Bignell, Manager - Market

Information at Meat and Livestock Australia continued

strong seasonal conditions, improved genetics across

the national herd and strong on-farm management has

helped carcase weights to remain at historically high

levels.

“Carcase weights across the country are averaging

317.6kg/head.

This is the second highest carcase weights ever, only

behind the record previous quarter.

“National male carcase weights rose by 600g to a

tered prevented the national carcase weights reaching

record levels.

“A softening in average carcase weights for cattle is

not uncommon through the Australian winter.

This has been particularly relevant in 2022 with wet

and cool conditions affecting livestock’s’ ability to gain

or maintain weight,” Mr Bignell said.

Beef production: With increased higher slaughter

numbers and only slightly lower carcase weights, beef

production rose by 9 per cent quarter-on-quarter to

473,394 tonnes but was softer year-on-year.

“Overall, with carcase weights remaining high and

forecast actual cattle supply to increase into the end of

2022 and beyond, the Australian beef industry is well

positioned to capture emerging opportunities both domestically

and globally,” Mr Bignell said.

Lambs: In Q2 of 2022, lamb production was 140,165

tonnes, the third highest quarterly volume on record,

behind Q2 2018 and Q4 2016. The quarterly total of

140,165 tonnes was a 12.5 per cent increase on Q1 2022

levels and 1.8 per cent higher than the same quarter in

2021.

Lamb slaughter for Q2 was recorded at 5.44m, an increase

of 9.5 per cent on the previous quarter and 1.1 per

cent higher than the June 2021 quarter. For the financial

year, lamb slaughter was 20.8m lambs.

“The fact that lamb slaughter for Q2 2022 was not

within in the historical top 20 lamb slaughter volumes.

But it was the third highest level of production,

shows the benefits of increasing carcase weights,” according

to Mr Bignell.

Lamb carcase weight: The implementation of new

genetics, well managed on-farm production and above

average rainfall patterns have ensured national lamb

carcase weights achieved record highs in Q2 2022.

“At 25.8kg/head, this is a 0.6 per cent increase yearon-year

levels, demonstrating that genetic improvement

and management is driving increased efficiencies and

production for the national lamb flock,” Mr Bignell said.

New South Wales lambs are weighing 26.8kg/head

reporting on Toowoomba Cattle Sale

Sale Date: August 22, 2022 – 202 yarded

Numbers increased slightly in Toowoomba this week.

Young cattle made up the majority of the yarding with

grown cattle lighter in numbers and quality. Overall

prices showed improvement for most yarded. Feeder

types sold to a slightly dearer rate being pushed along

with restockers. Export results remained close to last

weeks Toowoomba sale. A fair panel of buyers were in

attendance with a good line up of restockers.

reporting on Dalby Cattle Sale

Sale Date: August 24, 2022 – 4361 yarded

A cold day in Dalby saw prices and numbers increase.

Quality was good with some good lines of export and

weaner cattle on offer. Feeder steers in lines sold well.

Southern buyers are making a difference with prices

mainly chasing cows & heavy steers. Overall a very

firm to slightly better market for all yarded. In the

restocker section competition was strong with feeder

operators pushed along by local restockers. Bullocks

on average, leading the trend for heavier lambs nationally.

They are followed by South Australian lambs at

26.7kg/head.

Sheep: Slaughter. Unlike lambs and cattle, sheep

slaughter fell in Q2 2022, reducing by 13.2 per cent or

209,600 head.

According to Mr Bignell however, a drop in slaughter

in the June quarter is common as producers are retaining

ewes for lambing during this period.

“Encouragingly, when compared to the corresponding

June period in 2021, mutton slaughter is up 27 per

cent or close to 300,000 head.

This would suggest the flock rebuild is maturing and

inline with MLA’s most recent June sheep projections,”

Mr Bignell said.

Production of mutton was recorded at 35,091 tonnes,

a 11.3 per cent reduction on the previous quarter but 25

per cent higher than 2021 levels.

As mutton production fell by less than the fall in

slaughter, carcase weights climbed.

Carcase weights: National sheep carcase weights for

Q2 2022 were recorded at 25.5kg/head, a 500g increase

on Q1 2022 levels but well below the 2.2kg/head below

the highs recorded in December 2021.

“Interestingly, the average carcase weights for sheep

are below that of lambs on a national level.

Sheep in New South Wales are the heaviest weighting

27.3kg, while sheep in Tasmania are the lightest weighing

19.5kg/head,” Mr Bignell said.

Goats: In FY22 goatmeat production jumped 47 per

cent to 24,091 tonnes. In FY22 production in all states

except Tasmania jumped by at least 41 per cent, with

Western Australian production growing by 3,538 per

cent year-on-year.

Goat slaughter was up 52 per cent in FY22 to 1.46m

head.

Production growth was slightly less than the growth

in slaughter supply as goat carcase weights continued to

soften marginally.

Chamber hosts Industry and Careers Dinner

STUDENTS HEAR FROM LOCAL BUSINESSES

The Highfields Chamber of

Commerce held its inaugural

Industry and Careers Dinner on

Wednesday night at the Highfields

Cultural Centre.

Students from Highfields

State Secondary College, Mary

MacKillop Catholic College and

Toowoomba Christian College

heard from a range of industry

representatives who provided

insights into career possibilities.

Chamber president Sarah

Mengel said the event was to

make the local students aware of

what industries were in the local

area.

“We’re pleased with the reception

we have received from

the three local schools tonight.

We hope this event will inspire

the students in their future choices,”

she said.

Guest speakers on the night

spoke about career pathways

from a vet, tertiary and entrepreneur

perspective.

Ms Mengel said industries

that participated in the dinner

included healthcare, emergency

services, defence, agriculture

and more.

Also there speaking with the

students were Toowoomba Region

Mayor Paul Antonio and

Member for Groom Garth Hamilton.

“I think this event could be

something that would be valuable

to the Highfields community,”

Ms Mengel said.

"I know that the Dalby Chamber

of Commerce have been

holding a similar event for two

years in a row now.

“It’s great to see all these people

support what we are doing.

"Being a small group and having

changed the name last year,

this is something that we wanted

to run as Highfields Chamber

of Commerce for our first big

event, so it’s great to see the support

here tonight.”

of a crowd to consider the usual 2 x 12. The windy

cold days will be gone soon, and we’ll be back

to normal. The jackpot draw wasn’t held. Next

Wednesday could be your lucky day.

The result of our sixth round of the 2022

pennants was a narrow loss to Drayton on Saturday,

August 20.

On Saturday, August 27, we played away at South

Toowoomba. Those results will be in next week’s

edition. Members - please keep an eye on the club

noticeboard for Crows Nest’s team selections each

week.

September 3 marks the start of the pennants

semi-finals. Copies of the weekly home and away

pennants draw are available at the club.

Haldane and Keith Melit. The weather was perfect,

so why not join the crew on a Thursday arvo. It’s

a good couple of hours fun and you’ll always be

welcome.

Highfields Eagles headed out

to Platz Oval, Clifton for the first

round of the qualification finals.

All three men’s teams were to

battle it out at the Wattles Home

Ground where wins have been

few and far between for the Eagles.

The day started with the under

19 men taking on Brothers Ipswich

which was always going to

be a tough game.

The Eagles hit the scoreboard

early with a try in the opening

RUGBY LEAGUE

Eagles vie for grand final spots

minutes but Ipswich hit back

almost straight away, scoring

down the right side.

It seemed it was going to be

a tight battle but the Highfields

Eagles lifted in crucial parts of

the game and got away with a

34-24 win which sees them head

to Gatton this Sunday to take

on the Hawks for a chance to

go straight into the grand final.

The reserve grade team has

been in great form all season and

were confident leading into the

first round of the finals where

they met the Gatton Hawks.

Only two weeks ago they

convincingly beat the Hawks at

Gatton which was a great result.

The Hawks were obviously out

for redemption as they hit the

ground running, putting on three

tries in the first 15 minutes.

It certainly was a start to a

game the Eagles Reggie’s were

not familiar with.

To their credit, they came together

well, led superbly by their

half Cory Haywood who pulled

off a 40/20 kick which resulted

in a try to get them back in the

game.

The Eagles got a roll on and

crossed the try line four times,

one, a superb intercept by Lachy

Thom who ran the ength of the

field to score under the posts.

This try ignited a fire in the Eagles.

Two points down with five

minutes to go, they threw everything

at the Hawks but just

couldn’t get over the line.

The Eagles lost 22-

24 which sends them to a

knock out round on Saturday

at home against Valleys.

The day got worse for the

Highfields Eagles with the A

grade taking on Wattles at home.

They are always tough to beat

at Platz Oval and in finals, even

more so.

The Eagles started strong

but they just couldn’t come together

on the day to hold the

Wattles Warriors out, allowing

them to score 54 points to their

14. The Eagles now take on

Goondiwindi at home on Saturday

which is a do or die match

to continue in the finals run.
