1st June.
And isn’t it cold these mornings? It’s been pretty busy around the area, despite the weather. One date of note last week was the farewell party for Cynthia and Rowland Bendall from Oakley.
Cynthia and Rowlie have been in the area for over three years and have been active members of the community during that time, despite living out of town.
Rowlie, as Chairman of the Torrens Creek Fire Brigade, and Cynthia, as Secretary/Treasurer, have donated much time and energy in getting the group working together as a cohesive, trained unit. They have supported each social activity the town has provided and, though they will be missed, we all hope they enjoy their new home down in Tingora, near Kingaroy. The new Chairman for the Brigade is Charlie Holzwart from Rangeside, and the new Secretary/Treasurer is Michelle Gatti.
The farewell was held in The Exchange Hotel after the Fire Brigade meeting and the crowded room ensured cold weather was of no consequence.
During the evening the couple were presented with a wooden clock, hand painted with a rural scene, to “remind them of their time here with us”. At the end of the week both travelled to set up their new home. Cynthia will remain there but Rowlie will return to Oakley until the mustering is completed.

Saturday Craft? Want to Learn and Share your Skills?
Torrens Creek area has many skilled craftsmen and women. In conjunction with the Torrens Creek Progress Association it has been decided to open the Royal Flying Doctors Rooms Saturday afternoons starting June 12th, for those who would like to make use of the “How To” books and encyclopedias we have accumulated over the years. It is hoped that this will lead to workshops such as lead lighting, lathe work, and working with clay as public interest grows. Phone 47417378 for further details.
