026/365 Australia Day 2025

nobody@ipernity.com (Gillian Everett) — Sat, 25 Jan 2025 23:28:51 +0000

We arrived in Melbourne, Victoria, on Australia Day, 26th January 1988, not knowing that we would still be in Australia in 2025 after 37 years... now in New South Wales.

It has been a wonderful experience, and we love where we live.

Sunday Challenge 51 - A picture is worth a thousand words

Moving on from the wonderful historical images, thanks everyone.

Here is an opportunity for you to interpret "A picture is worth a thousand words" with your own photo, letting it tell the story. Anything goes (family friendly, of course), and you may wish to add a description anyway.

We went to the Southern Highlands for a wedding 27 January, and there was a very enjoyable gathering here the night before.

In 1865 the first post office was established at Burrawang, which was named after the native palm once plentiful in the area. This was followed by the first pub licensed in 1866, believed to have been located in the two residences immediately west of the current pub...

which dates from the 1920s.

An object where it doesn't belong - our garden gnome. He has faded, and is undergoing maintenance...

One lady passing by thought this was amusing :-)

Rosedale Station was established in 1853 by John Little, and was the first station in the district.

The St John's Anglican Church in Rosedale was financed by John Little's son James Little in 1925 as a lasting memorial of the Little family, the original settlers.

The railway was extended northwards from Bundaberg to Rosedale (1892) and connected to Gladstone via Miriam Vale (1896-97). Schools were opened at Rosedale (1896), Miriam Vale (1897) and Bororen (1900), all on the railway line.

Gillian Everett has posted:

There is a Dreamtime legend which tells of Coolum, a young warrior, who loved a beautiful aboriginal girl named Maroochy. Another warrior named Ninderry abducted Maroochy. Coolum freed Maroochy and they fled together back to their tribes on the coast.

The enraged Ninderry knocked off Coolum’s head which became Mudjimba Island and Coolum’s body became Mt Coolum. The Spirit God punished Ninderry by turning him into stone and he became Ninderry Crest.

Maroochy's tears are said to have flowed down creating the Maroochy River.

There is a lot of history and family tradition at Joe’s Waterhole Hotel. This historic hotel as it stands today was once the Commercial, which was rebuilt in 1926 after a fire swept through Eumundi in 1924. In 1962 Joe Whiting took over ownership when he swapped his sugar-cane farm in Maroochydore for the hotel. It became known colloquially as Joe’s Waterhole and was officially renamed in 1987.

From the early 1850s, almost all the area in the vicinity of the Eumundi district was part of three cattle runs - Canando, Yandina and North Kenilworth. The main grazing areas were around Belli and the Verrierdale-Doonan area...Eumundi, with the railway and the road to the north passing through it, developed as an important centre of the timber and dairying industry.

Within the historical township of Eumundi, with its creative ambience and sense of community stands the historic Bank of New South Wales Building, the ideal setting for the inception of The Art Bank Gallery. It sits proudly in the centre of town on Memorial Drive, directly across from the famous Eumundi Markets.
