Historical Society Workers HonouredAllora and District Historical Society stalwarts, Anita Morrish, May Frizzell and the late Jean Newport were recently honoured with the unveiling of an 1880’s shop show case dedicated to the work that they have put into the Society. The three women were responsible for keeping the Society financial at a time when it had less than $2,000 in the bank and an annual insurance bill, for one, of $1,400. They spent countless hours selling raffle tickets and money boards from the days when raffle tickets were 20c each. It wasn’t until the Society received a substantial donation from the disbanded Apex Club that they were able to relax their efforts.Lynn Close has filled the show case with a display of women’s items, many of which were donated by Anita and May. A plaque will be attached to the showcase thanking the ladies for their efforts for the Society.

URGENTALL INTERESTED

PEOPLEA MEETING will be held in the Community Hall tomorrow, Friday, 1st September, to discuss the application for a 5,000 head feedlot in the Goomburra area in the Allora Shire.Enquiries: S. Acason, M. E. Oloman, A. Baker

(About 50 people attended the meeting called at short notice to discuss the application by N. G. and L. Black to build the feedlot on their 565 acre “Glenmore” property at Goomburra. A committee was formed at the meeting to co-ordinate objections to its construction. The Allora Shire Council eventually

received 325 objections to the proposal and voted unanimously at its September meeting to reject the application for the feedlot. Cr. Neville Black was not present at the meeting. About 30 members of the public had crowded into the Council meeting room and applauded the decision)

Allora’s Past 75 years ago August 1939

Snow at WallangarraTonight, Wallangarra had its heaviest fall of snow since 1907, drifts 6 inches deep forming beside walls, fences and logs.Following a bitterly cold day, with the thermometer at 40 degrees and several heavy showers of sleet and rain, snow began to fall at 7.45 and continued for half an hour.Hail fell over various parts of the southern Darling Downs, particularly in the Maryvale area, at Allora, and to the south and west of Warwick.- The Courier-Mail 9th August 1939

Allora’s Past 100 years ago August 1914Soldier’s Send-off

Allora has seldom, if ever, witnessed a more enthusiastic gathering than that which assembled in the Protestant Hall on Monday night to accord a send-off to the local volunteers to the Expeditionary Force for Australia. Well over 200 people were present and there were flags

everywhere.The Mayor (Ald. James Dean) had seated on either side of him, the lads whom the gathering had assembled to honour; Arthur Smith, J. R. Ross, H. A. Boadle, A. B. Petersen, R. L. Grayson, R. Stirling, R. G. Sinton, S. G. Masters and E. Hannington.Ald. Dean toasted “The British Empire and Her Allies” and this was responded to by numerous speakers including Dr. F. Pain from the Royal Society of St. George, Mr. M. Patrick on behalf of the Greek people, and the Rev. S. Baggaley.The volunteers left for Enoggera camp the next day and fully 100 people travelled on a special train, arranged for by the Mayor, to farewell them at Hendon. The stations at Allora and Hendon were decorated with flags, and a huge Union Jack was draped over the engine.(Of the first nine soldiers to volunteer, four, Trooper Roy Ross, Pte. Albert Petersen, Cpl. Syd Masters and Gunner Albert Hannington were killed in action. The Historical Society has applied for a Centenary of the Anzac’s grant to produce a book on the approximately 50 Allora men who were killed in the First World War. If anyone has details of any Allora and district service person killed in the war, please contact me).

Fassifern Fifties FestivalThere is a little town half way between Brisbane and Warwick on the Cunningham highway that we all know. We may not even know its name, but we all know it has a great bakery, a couple of servos, a couple of lovely little cafes and a terrific fruit and vege shop, a butchers and some fabulous art, a local “handmade” shop and don’t forget the old wares place.Its called Aratula. And it has a little school. The school was opened in 1911 and the original building is still in use today. There are just 33 students at this little country school and the atmosphere is one of learning , growth and fun. Many of the children travel over 10kms to go to school every day. Being a rural community, the floods of recent years and current drought has hit the area hard, when you add to that the closure of Cunninghams gap on and off for over 12 months, after the 2011 flood, this little community has been doing it tough.The lovely thing about a country school is the sense of connectivity to the community – because, quite frankly we are all in it together – no matter what the weather – literally! The other nice thing is a sense of belonging and history. There are some students at the school who are 2nd, 3rd and even 4th generation, not may schools can boast that!This year for the first time ever, the school is putting on a festival – a Fifties Festival, with all the nostalgia you could imagine! The school has teamed up with the Community Sports Complex next door and a couple of kind hearted farmers to create almost 25 acres of the 1950’s and beyond! There will be rock n Roll bands playing all day, dancing – you can join in or just watch, room for over 350 Classic/Hot Rod and Muscle Cars, over 200 Retro/Kustom bikes, over 140 Retro, Vintage and Handmade market stalls, loads of kids stuff, a pinup competition, even a mothers room, and 15 acres of parking. And just for those Bathurst lovers, a huge 8sqm TV to watch the shootout on. All this for free!So the children of Aratula state School invite you to step back in time for a day on Saturday October 11th,. As Mac ( our 4th generationer) says “come have some fun with us!”.

or jfriz2@bigpond.comAuthorised by A. Scheid, Presidentto turn a couple of opportunities into points. Matt Duggan was again the

subject of a late hit in the opening minute earning Gatton benchman Josh Mildren a spell in the sin bin. Wattles ‘will ‘o’ wisp’ centre Joel Koina had the ball fall loose over the ‘Hawks’ try line, while team mate juggernaut Mick ‘Red Man’ Bermingham was halted just short of ‘try time’ due to a pass being ruled forward.While two points may have been handy, a penalty in kicking range in the 54th minute was ignored, the ‘Warriors’ opting to go for bigger rewards.A Gatton error minutes latter saw Wattles in a great attacking position, but when ‘Hawks’ forward Aaron McVeigh was penalised for holding a Wattles player down and sin binned, Duggan didn’t hesitate to ‘take the two’.As the clock ticked over the sixty minute mark, Duggan’s kick flew over the cross bar and Wattles moved ahead 18 – 10 with twenty minutes to play.A Wattles error from the kick-off that gave Gatton prime attacking position &

From the restart front-rower Xavier Manley carved a pathway through the defence making his way to the ‘Hawks’ twenty metre line but lost possession in the tackle, Gatton spun on a coin to turn defence to attack to pop a ball to their fullback Steve Franciscus who raced away to score.With the try converted the ‘Hawks’ levelled the scoreboard at 6 all, with matters appearing to go pear shaped for the ‘Warriors’. The boys in green & gold were caught off side taking the resulting kick-off, and Gatton took full advantage of a twenty metre restart, their winger Cameron Nicholls, who achieved fame scoring the winning extra time try for the ‘Hawks’ to claim this year’s Madsen Rasmussen Shield, racing in to score in the corner. The try allowed the reigning Premiers a 10 – 6 lead after thirteen minutes.Ten minutes later Matt Duggan spied an opportunity and fired a pass long and wide to winger Robbie Moore on the fly on his way to touch down in the corner of Clive Berghofer Stadium, levelling the match ledger at 10 all.Opportunities seemed wasted with ball going to ground in the minutes as half time approached, but when the ‘Warriors’ former TRL Player of the Year Jamie Dodt intercepted on his own twenty metre line and galloped away from the band of chasers to score a vital try, Wattles moved ahead 16 – 10 with Duggan’s conversion, holding the advantage until the half time break.There was action aplenty after the start of the second stanza, Wattles unable

Warriors Storm Into Grand FinalWattles supporters excitement lifted to around an eight on the Richter scale as the full time hooter sounded at 4.38 pm Darling Downs time on Sunday at Toowoomba rugby league Mecca Clive Berghofer Stadium. The mighty “National Farmer’s Warehouse”

Wattles ‘Warriors’ A Grade side had just dispatched arch rivals 2013 Premiers the Gatton ‘Hawks’ from the TRL Major Semi-final after a tyrannic 80 minute tussle, 24 – 16.The victory booked Wattles a start in the 2014 Toowoomba Rugby League A Grade Grand Final to be played at Clive Berghofer Stadium on Sunday, September 7th.Given the three previous epic clashes Wattles & Gatton have fought out this season, Sunday’s Major Semi-Finals was always going to be a torrid encounter.It lived up to all expectations, Wattles striving for a third premiership to cap off a remarkably successful season, while the ‘Hawks’ determination to retain their premiership crown earned last year is to be respected.The opening stanza of the game certainly lived up to finals standard footy in the best competition in the Queensland country region. After Wattles enjoyed the better of field position in the early stages, they also snapped up first points after eight minutes after halfback & skipper Matt Duggan was hit in a late tackle in the goal mouth. A couple of plays after the resulting penalty Duggan found supporting fullback Jackson Green who spun out of a tackle to touch down beside the goal posts. Duggan had no problems with the conversion for the extras and Wattles had snatched a 6 – 0 lead.

Wattles President and A Grade lock forward Aaron Scheid in the thick of the action in last Sunday’s Toowoomba Rugby League Major Semi-Final at Toowoomba’s Clive Berghoffer Stadium. Wattles Coach Luke Duggan

rated workhorse Scheid as one of the best in green and gold in the ‘Warriors’ hard fought 24 – 16 victory.

saw their talented back Nick Boney score off a well weighted kick to the corner.Both sides swapped plays in a torrid while at times desperate fifteen minute spell searching for that break that would likely provide the winning margin.Wattles needed something from their bag of tricks & it was halfback Duggan, the Hendon wizard, who provided it. With a brilliant ball he sent man mountain Mick Bermingham hammering through a gap in a play that led to classy forward Mitch Koina scoring the match winning four pointer ten metres to the right of the upright. Wattles now have a two week break in the Grand Finals countdown.
