2. History & Reflections

Pride in your Town By Graeme Meade

Hat & Coat Rack

This belongs to a friend; it has a little story behind it. It was bought at a garage sale, in Yeppoon, a few months ago.

The garage sale people said they bought it at the Rocky swap many years ago; Rocky swap has only been going for twenty years.

The people from the Rocky swap said they have had it for a long time, and that it came from a church in Mount Morgan that was being demolished.

No time frame, maybe someone will recognise it?

It’s a coat rack, three feet long by one foot high, that’s about 90cm x 30cm for the newbies, the timber is quite thick. It has four railway spikes, and maybe a dog spike bashed into it.

The back has some screws inserted with wire around it to hang the coatrack. It also looks like the rack has also been nailed or screwed to a wall.

The Uniting Church was rebuilt in 1993, I think the Sacred Heart Catholic Church has been rebuilt at some stage. I am sure there were many churches built and rebuilt or demolished around this area.

Things made from railway spikes are all the rage at the moment. Looking online there are hundreds of images.

Having recently viewed a program on TV concerning early housing in Australia, it brought to mind the various aspects of some early housing in Mount Morgan.

The old miners homesteads, bear no resemblance to any modern dwelling. Most of the old homes were of wooden construction, not always painted, generally had an open front veranda, two or three very small bedrooms, a semi-detached kitchen covered by a walkway or an open covered area and a bathroom that will be explained later.

Let us start at the front veranda. At one end there often was a small wooden single bed, with a fibre mattress which was the sleeping quarters of one of the older boys. For winter warmth a wooden slatt blind was placed on the side to shield from the winter breeze. The rest remained an open area, air conditioning “au naturale.”

The main small bedroom for Mother and Father generally, consisted of an iron framed double bed, again possibly a fibre mattress, a very small dressing table of maybe three drawers, a small face mirror on top and a kerosene lamp.

Clothes were hung on what was called a curtained wall. It was a wooden shelf with a curtain attached to it on maybe three sides. The clothes’ were hung from screws or bent nails placed underneath. Of course in the early 1900’s clothes were at a minimum so not much space was needed.

The other one or two bedrooms weresimilar with double or single beds.

Families had more children then, and three or four little ones could share the big bed.

The covered walkway or a type of veranda to the semi-detached kitchen always had a cooling safe hanging in the breezeway and often a large tin tub was on a bench which was used for multiple purposes. The kitchen consisted of a very large wooden table for the bigger families and a wood stove where a shelf was built above so the pots and pans were hung and always readily available.

Cups, plates etc and of course the enamel mugs were in a small cupboard sometimes with a gauze (fly proof) door. The kitchen table was scrubbed after meals and was so clean it was almost white in colour. From this primitive kitchen these women could produce meals and cakes equal to the Master Chefs of today. Not as glamorous but of good flavour and nutrition.

Then of course comes the bathroom. What bathroom? For many the bath was the iron tub in front of the wooden fire with the cleanest child going first. That tub of water may do 3 or 4 children. Other bathroom models consisted of a few sheets of iron wrapped around some posts where a high built water tank was situated.

A pipe came from the tank and in the delight of the iron enclosure a cold shower could be enjoyed! Especially on a cold winters day. Toilet facilities and washing of clothes are other stories, for another time.

Think Clean - Be Tidy.

A joint venture between Feel Good Promotions, the Golden Mount Festival Association [GMFA], Mount Morgan IGA and Almost Anything Web and Graphic Design has raised $1000 towards the Central State School Breakfast Club.

The funds were raised through the sale of Kindness Bags at the 2017 Golden Mount Festival. Festival sponsors such as 4RO, Triple M, Channel 7, The Rock and Rockhampton Regional Council were asked to contribute promotional merchandise to fill the bag.

Other businesses and organisations had an opportunity to contribute promotional information by way of a small donation for the cause.

Feel Good Promotions contributed chips and odds and ends while the GMFA contributed wrist bands and balloons and Almost Anything Web and Graphic Design from Rockhampton provided corflute signage.Feel Good Promotions owner, Mark Ricks said he was really pleased with the end result.

“This demonstrated that partnerships when all parties contribute, can be highly successful,” he said.GMFA President Eve-lyn Rogers said it was great to work on a project that benefitted the grass roots members of the community – the children.

“It was a great project to work on that had some positive partnership outcomes,” she said.

Returning for a short visit to Mount Morgan is Margaret Hickey (pictured) from Toowoomba.

Margaret will be remembered by many ladies as she was the owner of a Hairdressing Salon in the early social days when Mount Morgan enjoyed many balls and evening events. For these functions, the ladies required flattering hairstyles for such big occasions.

Margaret also played an important role in the foundation of the Mount Morgan Drama Club which stood her in good stead when she left Mount Morgan and took up a theatre role with the 12th Night Theatre company in Brisbane.

Margaret said her memories of the Mount are most treasured ones.

Mount Morgan Order of the Eastern Star No 158 sponsored and conducted a Big Cuppa Morning Tea for Cancer in the Masonic Hall, on Monday 19th June 2017.

Mount Morgan Central State School staff and students turned out in force to wish Mr Peter Hixon (pictured), a happy retirement on Thursday the 8th of June. Mr Hixon has been a fixture at the school as a teacher aide for over 20 years and will be greatly missed.

School Principal, Mr Brad Carlson began the mornings proceeding by thanking Mr Hixon for his tireless efforts working with the students at the School. Staff member Mr Denis McKay then addressed the audience and spoke of Mr Hixon’s other contributions which included being one of the inaugural coaches of the school’s successful after school sports programs and excellent camp supervisor. Always being able to help with things like marking the ovals for sports days and organising the food for the after school sports. Most importantly, he said Mr Hixon always had the students of Mount Morgan Central’s best interest at heart in both the classroom and wider community.

Year 6 students then read a moving acrostic poem titled ‘Mr Hixon’ before he was presented with thank you cards from the assembled classes.

On Friday 26th May 2017, school and community members attended the annual National Sorry Day Ceremony at Mount Morgan Central State School. Proudly opening the ceremony with Acknowledgement of Country were year 6 students, Kahlen Garrett, Lara Martin and Ellah Donald. Principal, Mr Brad Carlson, spoke of the importance of remembering the Stolen Generation on this day as the first day of Reconciliation Week. This was followed by Ms Schluter expressing why we say ‘Sorry’ and how it is a significant part of the healing for the Stolen Generation.

‘Sorry Day Australia’, a poem by Meriki Raelene Parkinson Fraser, was performed sensitively by Mr Kilpatrick’s year five students followed by Miss Palmer’s year 6 class reciting ‘Sorry Today,’ an Acrostic Poem. As this was read, students representing each class placed wreaths of hands in the indigenous garden area.

An emotional guard of honour was formed by the upper school classes to escort Mr Hixon to the staff room where a morning tea was held with invited family guests and staff. Mr. Hixon hopes to spend more time with his family, travelling and fishing but he will continue his ongoing association with the school helping on a volunteer basis whenever needed.

The whole school community offers their sincere thanks to Mr Hixon for everything he has done for the school and wish him a long and happy retirement. Article submitted by Denis McKay.

Movie ReviewThe Orange Dot

By Larry at Fox Video

Seriously, the Kiwi film industry is bolting like a runaway pony and many of the movies they are turning out, big and small, are just amazing.

Very recent Orange Dot movies from NZ have been HUNT FOR THE WILDERPEOPLE, THREE WISE COUSINS, MAHANA, THE DARK HORSE and now another little gem..LOVE AND TIME TRAVEL.

With this one another budding genius has been uncovered in Hayden J Weal who wrote the story, then directed and starred in the film. It’s a science fiction romantic comedy about Dan...

Dan is having a weird day... Normally he leads an emotionally isolated life which is just the way he likes it. When he’s not working at the cafe or on his daily run Dan’s perfectly happy to stay at home, disconnected from the people around him.

But then he starts finding strange messages on the INSIDE of his bedroom window. Every day a new message and each more confusing than the last. “Turn Right.” “Alleyway.” “Relax and See...” And not only that, he’s having strange dreams about people he’s never met... A little girl being bullied, a young woman who babysits, an elderly man who rides the bus around town every day, a flaky yoga instructor, a paranoid schizophrenic, a cheerful older lady and a hulking silent giant...

Every time he falls asleep... It’s messing with his head!

He soon learns that these messages aren’t just crazy cryptics but clues to things that are about to happen in the near future. Moreover the people in his dreams will be affected by these events, and not in a good way unless Dan can find a way of guiding how the future unfolds.

And then there’s his past...

One day while on his run, Dan makes an unplanned turn to the right and finds himself in an alleyway...

LOVE AND TIME TRAVEL is rated M for “mature themes, violence, coarse language and brief nudity”. Personally, I’d give it a PG13 rating. The movie runs for an hour and a half.

LOVE AND TIME TRAVEL...Loved it!
