This year in Queensland, around 3900 women will be diagnosed with breast or gynaecological cancer, and around 800 will die from these women’s cancers.

Pink Ribbon Day (Monday, October 27) provides an opportunity to unite in pink and show support for the one in six Queensland women who will be diagnosed with breast or gynaecological cancer in their lifetime. 

Town planners, emergency services and even the Girl Guides are among those expected to take advantage of a new, free Queensland Government initiative which can deliver topographical maps straight to an email inbox.

The new QTopo online service allows anyone to create and then download their own topographical map via the Department of Natural Resources and Mines website.

Breaking the earth for the foundation of the Samford Provisional School replica commenced on 8 January 2000. January was the beginning of many very busy months ahead. Another year was to pass by before this huge job was completed.  In actual fact it was built over 27 Saturdays by volunteers from the Golden Valley/Keperra Lions Club, the volunteers and or members from the museum.  The project was funded by a Centenary Federation grant (Federal).  A quote from Pine River Press 31 January 2001 “Descendants of Samford pioneering families were among more than 500 people who witnessed the opening of the town’s 1872 Provisional School replica on Friday 26 January 2001.”
