I have been informed that country music singer Graeme Rodger is now staying on to perform at the caravan park throughout July and August. I had the priviledge of going down to listen to him play one night recently and it was an enjoyable hour of entertainment. Its rare that we get the chance to experience live music here
in Blackall, and I feel that we should take the chance support it whenever we can. Performances like this are also a great drawcard for tourists. Rehearsals are in full swing for the Radio Plays performance at the end of July which promises to be a truly unique event for our region.
During the golden age of radio in the 1930s and 1940s, radio plays were regularly performed in front of a live audience as they were broadcast. This mode of entertain slowly went into decline with the advent of television, but is slowly being resurrected as chance to reconnect with some of the magic felt by those original audiences.

Im a greenie and I dont wish to keep using paper when we have other options, Cr Skewes. Councillor Grahame Schluter said he was opposed to the idea as he believed it was unnecessary. It doesnt make you a better person by having a you beaut computer, Cr Schluter said. An allocation will be made in the 2011/2012 budget to supply councillors with an electronic device within the next 12 months.

Blackall part in the Blackalllearn machine quilting skills crafters Cultural Nine ladies took
Association Patchwork Groups Quilting Workshop with Pauline Rogers from Quilters World, Toowoomba on the weekend of July 1112. A participant in the workshop, Trethella Smith said she was excited by what was learnt. We learned how to use the darning foot to quilt any size quilt with freehand motion, any direction, and not have to keep moving the quilt itself around to change direction, Trethalla said. Some mastered it well but others were encouraged to keep practising and it would bring success!

to the travelling public, it serves as access to Blackall for several properties north-east of Blackall. It also provides access to the Blackall sale yards for cattle from the Yalleroi, Jericho and Alpha areas. These sale yards have been a success story for Blackall and any action; or in this case lack of action; which reduces access to them, could have a detrimental effect on the yards. Although the road is not under council control, ratepayers expect council to pursue issues such as this with the relevant authority, in this case Main Roads Dept.

to attempt to simultaneously advance two entirely incompatible messages: That we must begin to reduce global carbon pollution and that we should proceed to extract ever increasing quantities of coal. Perhaps the burden of historical legalities is preventing us from dealing with serious present realities. In that case, let us put our minds and efforts into rectifying these flawed methods, rather than wasting precious time and energy on charades like this EIS process.
PRAYER TO THE VIRGIN MARY (NEVER KNOWN TO FAIL) O most beautiful flower of Mount Carmel, fruit of the vine, splendorous of heaven. Blessed Mother of the Son of God, Immaculate Virgin, assist me in this my necessity. O Star of the Sea help me and show me herein you are my mother. O Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of heaven and earth I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succour me in my necessity. There are none that can withstand your power. O show me here you are my mother. O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee (say three times). Holy Mary I place this cause in your hands (say three times). Thank you for your mercy towards me and mine. This prayer must be said for three days and after that the request will be granted and the prayer must be published.

The ball is now rolling on creating a new life for the Bushmans Hotel building after a meeting held last Tuesday between members of the Barcoo Retirement Village Committee and consulting engineers George Baume and Associates from Barcaldine. The Barcoo Retirement Village Committee recently received $10,000 from the Building Rural Communities Fund to investigate a new use for the building and is now calling for ideas to reinvigorate Blackalls oldest building. After inspecting the site, George Baume and Associates will produce an open area plan for the development of the building within the next few months. Barcoo Retirement Village Committee spokesperson Terry Kingston said the committee was eager to receive suggestions from the Blackall community regarding new uses for the building. The more ideas we have, the better chance we have of putting Bushmans to really good use in the town, Terry said. The committee already has two proposals for the building with suggestions it could be transformed into a mens shed, or an art gallery.
