Beautiful weather and visitors started to arrive early.  Cups of tea/coffee with Anzac Biscuits was a very popular pit stop. Charlie was kept busy sharing his knowledge and know how on information relating to our Anzacs.  Martin and Michael in the blacksmith shop were kept going displaying their knowledge on the forge.  One of our younger visitors, Georgia Fitzgerald of Samford was fortunate and happy enough to don a replica of a Viking’s outfit, worn around 1000 to 1200.  This very heavy and impressive outfit was made by Martin.

Nominations for the 2015 Regional Achievement and Community Awards are now open.  Don’t miss your chance to acknowledge an organisation, club, group, business or individual you know who is making a real difference for you and the community. 

The DAYBORO GRAPEVINE is published and distributed by the Dayboro Regional Information Network Inc.  We are a voluntary organisation and our members give of  their time to compile this publication.  

Well this is a strange one . . . Usually at this time of year I am writing this column after attending the Dayboro Day Festival (before sending the edition off for printing . . . having filled in the spaces left for the festival news such as the award winners).  Not this year! . . . You will have to wait until the July edition for that round-up as this year’s June edition will already be printed and about to be delivered when the festival happens.

(1)  Congratulations

(2)  Thank you to QAS

(3)  Beware slow drivers

Members of AIR Brisbane North took a recent Social Trip to Maleny on the Obi Obi River, at Ponderosa Restaurant.

Our social events are strong as well as our Financial side.  Plus, we normally have a guest speaker.

We are enjoying a wonderful autumn on the Mountain, with glorious days and enough warmth and moisture to keep things really going.  The cattle on our place have never looked better.

Over forty excited Grade 2 children from Enogerra State School arrived by bus for their educational and social visit to the museum.  Children were divided into groups , with each group heading to a different area.  During their visit they discussed the difference between “years ago”, or as they call it “the olden days” to present day life and technology.

U3A Pine Rivers will be conducting their Monthly Social and Information Morning at Bray Hall, Cnr Cooke and O’Loane Sts, Petrie on Friday 15th May 2015, gathering around 9.30 for a 10.00am start.
