2014 SOUTH BURNETT DISTINGUISHED BUSINESS PERSON AWARD
Earl Pratt of Murgon
The 2014 South Burnett Business Excellence Awards presentation night was held on
Wednesday 15th October 2014. The winners were announced at the award presentation dinner held
in the Kingaroy Town Hall.
Mr Earl Pratt of Murgon was the recipient of the 2014 South Burnett Distinguished Business
Award.
In acknowledging the merits of Earl Pratt, MC John Carey said:
The Pratt family has been involved in the livestock agency business in the Burnett since 1946
when Earls father Basil (Buck) Pratt started a small Agency in Murgon in 1946. Earl joined his father
in the family business after finishing school in 1954. Earl and his parents started BD Pratt & Co in
1962 and continued in that successful business till 1979 when they sold out to Australian Estates
Pty Ltd. In that period of time they conducted livestock sales in Murgon and Goomeri and saw the
opening of the current live weight selling complex in Murgon in 1979. After the sale of the business
Earl continued his involvement in the industry by becoming a commission buyer for several meat
works companies taking him through the North and South Burnett and into central Queensland.
In 1987 Earl and his son Paul started Pratt Agencies Pty Ltd at a small premises in Lamb Street
Murgon. Earl still plays a part in Pratt Agencies today with his son Paul and wife Stacey, taking care
of the day to day running of the business. He sat on the committee of the Saleyards Association of
Queensland for 12 years serving 5 years as President. Earl became President of the Qld Livestock
Agents Association in 1992 and remained President until 2004. He was elected to the National
Saleyards Quality Assurance Committee in 1998 which he served on for 16 years, 10 years as president, retiring from the
position only last week. Outside the agency business Earl was involved with many local organisations such as the Murgon
Show Society in his early years and has played a large part on the St. Joseph’s Parish finance committee for many years. Earl
served as councillor for the Murgon Shire Council from 1985 to 1997 and 2000 to 2004. One of his greatest achievements
while on council was the push for the development of the current IGA shopping complex for Murgon, which came under heavy
criticism at the time but has proved to be a huge benefit for the local community. He is still actively involved on the committee
of the Murgon Dairy Museum. Earl has had a full and enjoyable life involvement with the livestock industry and has always had
the best interests of Murgon and it’s community fully in his focus.
We congratulate Earl Pratt of Murgon on his award.

‘A Sense of Wonder’
Robyn Dower, a South Burnett Artist, has spent the last three years planning her latest exhibition in
collaboration with her sister Kay Gorring. Combining their talents in art and literature, the exhibition ‘A Sense
of Wonder’ is based on a heart-warming story that
will raise your curiosity and delight your senses. In
essence, it literally brings to life, through the use of
actual art pieces, a heart-warming story of love, loss,
triumph and tragedy that spans three generations of
one family.
While remaining light-hearted, this emotional
charged venture is exciting, fun and relatable, providing
all age groups with aspects to enjoy.
The story itself ‘A Sense of Wonder’ traces the
life of a young woman by the name of Annabel whose
destiny, was being shaped by circumstances beyond
her control. Annabel should have been happy with a
successful career and all the trappings of her father’s
wealthy family. However, she found herself increasingly
dissatisfied and searching for a sense of belonging and meaning to her life. Her father and his family, each for their
own reasons, refused to tell Annabel anything about her early childhood.
So when Annabel received an invitation, seemingly out of the blue, from her maternal Grandmother, Kate, she
readily accepted. Feeling sad and confused and in desperate need of answers Annabel embarks on a journey of
rediscovery that changes her life and her destiny forever.
So come along to “A Sense of Wonder” and retrace Annabel’s footsteps back when she first arrived at her
Grandma’s house. Fill in the missing blanks in her life by discovering the clues that cleverly weave their way
through the exhibition or simply settle down in a comfy seat and read the story itself in book form - a three part epic
tale that through the magic of poetic rhyme can be read in just fifteen minutes. The majority of the art pieces and
the story books are all available for purchase so come along and enjoy a heart-warming experience and perhaps
take your own little piece of “Wonder” home forever.
With lots of things to see and do, it will make great family entertainment over the Christmas Holidays. The
gallery will close from the 1st of December for installation and will re-open at 6pm Friday the 5th of December
for opening night. $5.00 entry fee, with food and nibbles supplied. Local wine will be available for purchase. This
exhibition will run from the 6th of December through to the 31st of January (excluding Christmas Day and Boxing
Day) Gallery Hours 10.00am – 4pm Daily. Free Entry. Art by Robyn Dower / also South Burnett artists and Story by

The Beginning of ‘Wonder’
Grandma Kate’s Story
Out to the letterbox by the front gate, troubled and anxious, hurried Grandma Kate. She was waiting for news
about Annabel. Was her Granddaughter really doing that well? After reading the letter she held in her hand Kate
decided she would have to devise a plan to somehow convince an estranged Annabel that she needed to return
and stay a spell. It was through her friends and their letters to Kate that kept her informed of her granddaughter’s
fate. She was successful now, had made quite a name but she still wasn’t happy just the same. The letter showed
that all was not well and Kate grew worried for Annabel. Kate knew she wasn’t in her rightful place and time she
came home to wonder’s embrace. Kate’s eyes drifted to the frame on her wall. Would it have been different after
all? If George hadn’t been killed during the war and was here for the granddaughter he never saw? Kate allowed
her mind to stroll down memory lane reflecting on happy times and times of great pain. When she first met George
and his whimsical heart and the hours they spent sharing a passion for art. Their love of all Creatures, elephant to
mouse and how they were going to fill up their house with quirky, fun pieces to make people think like the two fat
chooks still perched on her sink. They’d kept people wondering, often perplexed as to what on earth they’d be up
to next. Maybe a scruffy dog, maybe a cat, maybe a goldfish wearing a hat. Once George had placed a lump in
their bed but when Kate asked, he only winked instead. “That’s Fred,” he said in his mischievous way “and you’ll
28
have to guess before I’ll say.” Some thought them eccentric, just crazy fools, others, a rare gift like two precious
jewels. Whatever their reasons they all came to see the happy little house where wonder was free.
When Edith was born they were over the moon although there were rumours of war coming soon. It was a time
of uncertainty, fear and fright especially when George was called up to fight. Promising not to end what they’d just
begun they vowed to keep always their keen sense of fun. To follow a simple life immersed in the arts and enjoy
all the wonder such a life imparts. When Kate learned George wasn’t coming back, her colours seemed to drain
to endless black and that promise they had vowed to keep, spoke to her through her sadness deep. To pursue
a dream they’d had in their heart, a sense of wonder through the love of art and Edith, their daughter, gave Kate
the drive to keep George’s passion for art alive. Whether it’s whimsy or whether it’s real, it was art that helped
their hearts to heal. Creating together at every chance made their hearts sing, their spirits dance. They opened
their home for all to share inviting people from everywhere. Its magic helped lots of sad hearts to mend and many
remained a lifelong friend.
Edith grew up happy, talented and smart and she moved to the city to study art. She hoped to open her own
gallery one day and continue that sense of wonder and play. She came back often to her mother Kate bringing
James when they started to date. James loved Edith and her fun way of life and before very long he made her his
wife. James’ upbringing was strict with no room for art, and he was never allowed to follow his heart. For he was
creative, so gentle and shy but somehow a failure in his father’s eye. So it was in with Kate they chose to move
although James’ family did not approve and despite his family not once coming round James was happy in the
new life he’d found. Edith put her studies on hold for a while when Annabel’s birth gave them reasons to smile.
Annabel was surrounded by their love and fun but the wonder faded having just begun.
One night, driving home, Edith was killed and James love of life forever stilled. Nothing Kate did and nothing
she said could convince poor James that Edith was dead. She was heartsick herself and very afraid when James’
family had decisions made. They took them back to the city to live. James needed more help than Kate could
give. James tried very hard but he never did well and his family were the ones raising Annabel. Kate missed
Annabel but James needed her too and James only did what he was told to do.
Annabel visited with her Grandma Kate up until around the age of eight. Then James’ family moved much
further away and she never came back anymore to stay. Kate wiped her tears. There was no time to dwell. Would
her plan work? Only time would tell. She enlisted her friends from far and near. She would need their help to get
Annabel here.
It was time she came home, her past to face and allow herself back to her childhood place. To let go of hurt,
frustration and pain and learn to trust in wonder again. Kate’s heart ached for her granddaughter dear but she
knew that she just couldn’t be here. It was Annabel’s choice alone to make and a risk that Kate just had to take...
Look out for Part 2 of this wonderful story in our next November edition of the Murgon Moments.

MURGON DAIRY AND HERITAGE MUSEUM
I looked in my dictionary to see what the word ‘heritage’ meant and it said ‘property that is or can be
inherited; a tradition etc. derived from one’s ancestors or the past. On Saturday 4th October, as part of the
‘South Burnett and Cherbourg on Show’ long weekend, the Museum held a Heritage Working Day. When
you see how things were done in the early days by our ancestors, it certainly is an eye-opener. There was
certainly no time for anyone to be bored, as it was a lot of hard work but our ancestors didn’t complain, they
just got stuck in to the work, as they knew it just had to be done, in most cases just to survive..
There was a lot of interesting displays at the Heritage Day – Leather Works, Blacksmith, Rope Making,
Bush Poet, Spinning, Shearer and Animal Nursery, Whip Cracking, Dairy cow and Calf, Butter Making, Post
splitting, as well as entertainment for the children. If you missed out this year, mark the date in your diary for
next year – same time, same place, for a bigger and better Heritage Day (hopefully).
The Museum is open 7 days a week from 9.30am to 12.30pm.and can be found on Gayndah Road. The
Museum has plenty to offer for people of all ages. You will have no trouble finding us, as you can see the
herd of colourful cows lined up along the fence waiting to greet you. For enquiries, please phone the Museum
on 41 695001 and if it is after hours, be sure to leave a message and one of our friendly Museum volunteers
will contact you as soon as it is possible.

The South Burnett hard to Find?
Three chances and eventually its right. First it was
put on the opposite side of the road, next it had 800m
where it now has 10km. If you turned left in 800m you
would end up in the farmers paddock which can be seen
in the distance.
Then there was this sign in Nanango coming in
from Brisbane or Toowoomba. If you follow the arrow
to Goomeri you would end up in the Forestry going to
Kilcoy. The old saying is don’t believe everything you
see but it’s just a shame that some Main Roads / Tourist
organization who put up these beautiful signs can’t get it
right the first time.
We don’t usually like to criticize but Yes we do care
about Tourism in our area!

PLAUDITS FOR OUR THREE POLITICANS
Sir Charles Adermann
Warren Truss,
Deputy Prime Minister
The recent naming of the Kingaroy shire council chambers in honour of the achievements attained by Deputy
Prime Minister Warren Truss brought further distinction to the South Burnett.
It meant that three Kingaroy district farmers had the right foresight to better Australia by serving lengthy careers
in State and Federal Governments.
Firstly there was Sir Charles Adermann who attended the Wooroolin State School until he was 13 and it was
shortly after that he banded peanut farmers together to form the then known as the Peanut Marketing Board. Over
two periods he was chairman from 1925 until 1952.
He later became Kingaroy shire chairman from 1939 (at the outbreak of the Second World War) to 1946.
He then went onto become the member for Fisher in this newly established seat. It was in 1960 that he was
appointed Minister for Primary Industries where he played a major role in granting additional assistance to
Australian rural producers. He was involved with farm land in Kingaroy which was located from the eastern side of
Fisher Street through to the Tessmann Road area and north to the base of the Hospital Hill area. This later became
a prestige area in residential development.
He later retired from his parliamentary career where he was succeded by his son Evan Adermann. It was of
interest and that he was preceded in Canberra by William McMahon who later became Prime Minister and then
succeded by another Minister in Doug Anthony. For his outstanding contribution, Sir Charles Adermann travelled to
London where Queen Elizabeth II bestowed him with the honour of a Privy Councillor of the United Kingdom and
in 1966 while five years later he became a Knight of the Order of the British Empire.
HARD WORK GAVE A BRIGHT START
In his infancy, Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen came from his birthplace in New Zealand with his parents negotiating
the Brisbane-South Burnett dirt roads by horse and coach over a four day period. So it was that his parents and
other family members took up land at Taabinga Village, more commonly known as Bethany. Because of ill health
with his father, Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen finished schooling at 14 so that he and his mother could work the farm.
Sir Joh took up the challenge instantly going from a rare novice with horse and a single plough to clearing scrub,
many times well into nightfall.
Apart from peanuts and harvest time developing his own threshing equipment - where he often slept in a
dairy underneath the stars-, he later brought out a technique for quickly clearing scrub with a heavy anchor chain
sandwiched between two bulldozers.
At the early age of 30, he became a competent businessman which also saw him gain a pilot’s licence which
allowed aerial spraying of crops to begin.
Sir Joh was elected to the Kingaroy shire council in 1946 where he established good support from Sir Charles
Adermann.
In 1952, Sir Joh married Florence ‘Flo’ Gillmour who became a political figure in her own right. During 1963,
State Premier Sir Francis Nicklin appointed Sir Joh as<Minister for Works and Housing and after five years with
this portfolio, it led him to become State Premier.
38
Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen
His term from 1968 until 1987 made him the longest serving and living Premier while despite numerous
controversies, he was adamant that more dams should be constructed throughout Queensland while the Brisbane
Expo was a great memorial to his State contributions. He was the second Kingaroy farmer-councillor to be
bestowed with knighthood by Queen Elizabeth II.
Even to this day, there are people who applaud the efforts of the former Premier while others have a
somewhat different view. One thing is for certain – if Sir Joh did not get a Liberal to cross the floor on the morning
vote supporting Tarong versus Milmerran as the site of the next powerhouse, the South Burnett would have
become somewhat stagnant. Because of this decision, we now see Kingaroy as a city and the growth of all other
towns (chiefly Nanango, Yarraman and Blackbutt) as virtually self supporting with business and employment
opportunities (despite the floods and droughts which have plagued the region in the last 20 months.)
TAILOR MADE FOR CANBERRA
From the moment Warren Truss won the seat of Wide Bay and became the member for the Murgon
electorate, it was obvious that his background in Rural Youth and public speaking would play its part in Canberra
in pressing home vital decisions for the region.
The naming of the Kingaroy council chambers in his honour was just reward for his outstanding achievements
which commenced from a humble beginning when a teenage Mannuem-Kumbia farmer of three generations. He
became leader of the Nationals in 2007 and is the longest serving Federal leader of any political party in Australia.
Mr Truss had the distinction of serving with the Howard Government for 10 years while in that period he was
bestowed with seven different ministries.
He was a Kingaroy councillor from 1976 to1990 with seven years as mayor. Mr Truss also played a vital role in
holding positions with the State Council of the Queensland Grain Growers Association for over 10 years. A former
State and National president of Rural Youth is added to his repertoire while he also held the position as president
of the Lutheran Church of Australia. Mr Truss and his brother Gary together with Penny Noller dominated rural
youth debating in the 60’s and 70’s. This was when Rural Youth was at its strongest with some seven clubs active
in the South Burnett this was strong evidence in showing that teenagers had to leave the area for better positions.
Keith Kratzmann
St Joseph’s Year 5 ‘Cobbers Club’, recently entertained the residents at Castra, with a gymnastics dance.
Pru Collard from the ‘SB PCYC’, helped put together. The students performed this in amongst the orchards at
Castra while the residents watched from the verandah.

A FLYING START FOR QUEENSLAND CHILDREN
YEAR 7 JOINS HIGH SCHOOL IN 2015
Educators agree that young teenagers are ready for
greater independence and the depth of learning that high
schools provide, which is why, in more other states and
territories, Yr 7 is already the first year of high school. With
the introduction of Prep in 2007 by 2015 Queensland Yr 7
students will be in their eight year of school, and this is the
right year for high school to begin.
During this Term Murgon State School Campus Year
6 and 7 students will be attending orientation days at the
Murgon State High School participating in
regular classroom activities. During these days students
will be supervised by
primary and high school teachers.
They will be informed on ‘how to read a timetable’,
‘looking at the behaviour management chart’, ‘mobile phone
use’, ‘what to do if you are sick’, ‘how to read a diary’, ‘what
about homework’, ‘positive rewards system’, and ‘how to
find your way around the High School’, etc.
Orientation will take place on the following days:
• Week 2 - Monday 13 October
• Week 4 - Tuesday 28 October
• Week 6 - Monday 10 November
• Week 9 - Tuesday 2 December
Students will come to school as usual before walking
in a group to the High School. They are required to wear
full primary school uniform and take a bag with lunch/water
bottle/hat/money for Tuckshop.
Parents/Carers will have the opportunity to meet High
School staff, tour the school and facilities and learn the
differences between Year 7 and Year 8.

JOKE FOR
THE MONTH
Ever wondered why baby diapers have
brand names such as “Luvs”, “Huggies”
and “Pampers”, while undergarments for
old people are called “Depends” ?
Well here is the low down on the whole
thing.
When babies mess in their pants, people
are still gonna Luv’em and Pamper’em.
When old people mess in their pants, what
happens next, “Depends” on who’s in the
will!

HAVING A BALL IN THE BURNETT
This year’s third annual South Burnett Queensland Teachers Union Ball brought together 87 teachers,
principals and education staff from all corners of the Burnett in the name of collegiality, networking and celebrating
our great profession.
Guests feasted on gourmet canapés and themed cocktails whilst being treated to a walk down memory lane
via displays of union memorabilia including a souvenir t-shirt collection and framed paraphernalia from past
campaigns.
Senior Officer, Kate Ruttiman, attended the event, reflecting on our role as conduits of our profession and the
125 years of achievements we have to celebrate in this, the Queensland Teachers Unions 125th year. Other key
messages on the night included the importance of coming together in the name of our profession and the strength
in our unity.
This annual event creates an important
opportunity for educators from across our vast
region to come together for collegial networking, as
well as strengthening communication channels and
membership information at a school and branch level.
It is also an opportunity to welcome new members into
our Branch and encourage member involvement in our
Union.

Kathy’s Comments
The Murgon Gun is Back!!
The Burnett War Museum recently gave their stock to the
Yarraman Historical Society. This was an opportunity for us
to ask if we could have the gun returned to Murgon and the
answer was a resounding yes!! Thanks to Bruce Sommerfeld
who organised the transport and Jim Kingston for helping and
especially to Ann Martindale from South Burnett Online who
helped me sort the details to ensure that we could get the
gun back without any problems. The gun is being sanded and
painted and then will be proudly placed outside the Murgon
RSL.
Murgon Pool Update
We are applying for funding to Queensland Sport & Rec
to get some additional money so that we can do a better
upgrade to the pool. I apologise to all of the user groups on
the inconvenience that the closure of the pool is causing but I
am looking forward to a fantastic facility that will serve us for
a long time into the future. We will be seeking input from key
stakeholders as we plan the upgrade of the facilities.
The Rail Trail and what is Happening
We met with the Queensland Triathalon representatives with a
view to bringing an event to the South Burnett. They are very
keen and are working towards hosting an annual National
event. The swim is 1.5klms, followed by a 40k bike ride and
then a 10k run. We are hoping that they will utilise a portion
of the rail trail for the run section. The bikes will need to go on
a sealed surface. This is just an example of the opportunities
that are available with the rail trail. We are still negotiating
with Gympie Regional Council and the State Government to
finalise the details of future arrangements before we go out to
public consultation and plan the whole rail corridor.
Well done to the Murgon Men’s Shed
It is great to see so many men enjoying this wonderful facility.
I had the pleasure of attending the Open Day and was thrilled
to see the progress so far. It really is a good news story for
Murgon and I look forward to seeing more great results as the
facility is progressed.
Public Meeting with the Mayor in the Murgon Town Hall
I am keen to see as many people come along to a meeting
in the town hall on the 20th of October at 5.30pm to hear the
Mayor talk about what is happening in Council and to provide
your feedback and ask any questions on Council matters
that you would like to have answered. This will be a good
opportunity to meet with the Mayor and fellow Councillors.
There will be a supper served at the end of the evening.
Everybody is welcome so please come along.
Transfer Stations across the Region supporting rural
areas
I am pleased that this Council as part of our waste
management strategy has decided to retain our rural tips.
We have to upgrade them to Transfer stations and we have
the funding in this financial year to work on a number of
the facilities. There will be upgrades at Cloyna, Brigooda,
Hivesville and Durong in this financial year as well as some
others in the Nanango and Kingaroy areas. The draft waste
management strategy will go to public consultation before
being finalised so there will be an opportunity for everyone to
provide feedback on waste management into the future.
Proston Main Street Footpath

The design is being worked on including an option to bring
the cement up level with the entrances into some of the
shops rather than putting ramps up for wheel chair access.
There will also be public consultation on the finished surface
which could be stencilled concrete or aggregate for example.
The work is planned to commence early next year to avoid
disruption leading into the Christmas period.
Work on Council roads and Main roads
Council does not get any of the State Government money for
vehicle registrations. We have to fund all of our own roads
apart from a few programs mainly with bridges or highly
trafficked roads where Council can apply for grants. We have
approx. 3000 klms of Council controlled roads to repair and
maintain. Council is using the road levy money to grade as
many of our roads as we can with the resources we have. We
are also doing repairs and maintenance on our sealed roads
as quickly as we can.
There are a series of Main roads that are controlled and
funded by the State Government and in our area they include
the Bunya Highway, the Proston Boondooma Road, the
Mundubbera Durong Rd, Redgate Rd. Wondai Proston Rd,
Barambah Rd and Lancaster’s Rd. The council only work on
these roads at the direction of the State Government and if
funds are provided by the State Government.
Support for Christmas Fair & Business Meetings
It is fantastic to see so many people attending the Murgon
Business Meetings and the Christmas Fair Meetings.
Congratulations to Leo, Margaret and the crew for the great
work that you continuously do to promote and support the
Murgon community.

UPDATED AGE PENSION GUIDE
NOW AVAILABLE
Federal Member for Wide Bay and Deputy Prime
Minister Warren Truss, today released an updated
edition of his Age Pension Guide.
Mr Truss said the Guide was extremely popular
amongst pensioners because it explains the terms
and conditions that apply to the Age Pension as
simply as possible.
“The Age Pension rules can be confusing
and complicated for many people. This guide is
designed in an easy to use format to help pensioners
understand their entitlements,” Mr Truss said.
“It also reassures pensioners that the Age Pension
will continue to increase twice per year, as it has
done in the past when payment rates are updated on
the 20th March and 20th of September.
“Income and asset tests, and deeming and other
provisions are also adjusted from time to time, which
can affect the amount of assistance that pensioners
are entitled to receive, so it is important that people
have access to the latest information about the
support that is available and where it is available
from.
“The Guide also provides useful information about
a range of other issues relating to pensions, including
the Pension Bonus and Work Bonus Schemes, the
Carer Payment and Allowance, as well as health and
discount cards that are available to pensioners,” Mr
Truss said.
“The Guide is available free of charge and can be
ordered by telephoning 1300 301 968, or downloaded
from my website www.warrentruss.com.”

MORE THAN $4.3 MILLION IN ROADS TO
RECOVERY FUNDING FOR WIDE BAY
Federal Member for Wide Bay and Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development, Warren Truss, today
announced $4,324,662 of Federal Government funding for local road construction and street repairs in Wide Bay
“The funding will come from the Coalition Government’s $2.1 billion Roads to Recovery program,” Mr Truss
said.
“Roads to Recovery funding assists councils to build new roads, repair streets and improve road access,
according to Council priorities. It also provides an important boost to the economy, while improving road safety,
the amenity of local communities, and convenience for motorists.
“In the 2014 Federal Budget, the Government doubled the Roads to Recovery payments for 2015-16,
increasing funding to $700 million for the year. The Coalition Government has extended the Roads to Recovery
program for another five years, ensuring that local road funding is able to be directed by councils to where it is
most needed.
“Councils will be able to lodge their funding applications in October, to gain access to new payments under the
Roads to Recovery program in November.”
Mr Truss said five local councils in Wide Bay will receive funding allocations in November:

2014-15 ALLOCATION

BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION COMMENCES
Council would like to advise that construction of the bridges for Kumbia
Brooklands Road and Gayndah Hivesville Road will commence on Monday 1
September 2014.
The contractor, CMC, will be constructing sidetracks and then commence
building the bridges and associated roadworks at each site. A sidetrack
will be available around each bridge site so there will be minimal impact on
everyday users of these roads. The duration of works is expected to extend
into 2015.
