                                             Have you viewed the segment on TV where young
                                             children are sitting around a board room table discussing
                                             the problem of littering by adults? They form “The
       Diaan Kay LICENSEE/PROPERTY MANAGER   Little Committee” to rectify the problem and although
                   Trevor Kay SALES          they know it is a big task, they are willing to take on the
P: 07 4938 1446                              job. Wouldn’t it be great if all small children accepted
M: 0409 382 170                              this role to stop the littering by adults or anyone for

                                             Thinking back to the Centenary/Festival week end one
                                             item that was really brought to our notice was the lack
    QUALITY CREMATION SERVICES               of disabled toilets and facilities in our town. There
     MEETING YOUR NEEDS WITH                 were quite a number of folk visiting the town either
      QUALITY AND COMPASSION                 in wheel chairs or requiring the assistance of wheelie-
          ABN:54 894 799 119                 walkers who had difficulty in finding these essential
             CREMATION                       conveniences. When public places or any building has
                                             to be refurbished etc, perhaps a thought could be given
         without Ceremony from
                                             to this problem.
                        $1350.00             With the proposal by the Rockhampton Regional Council
           CREMATION SERVICE                 to beautify and upgrade the Big Dam area it is hoped
                From $2995.00                that the renovations to the toilets, male and female will
       More Affordable and Professional      include a disabled toilet, and also an allocated parking
                                             area for the disabled be in the program. We trust this
        Servicing Mount Morgan Region
                                             work will commence soon.
                 PH: 49212673                Seeing Schools have been so much to the fore in
       www.qualitycremationservices.com      recent weeks perhaps a little mention of the Struck Oil
                                             School is worthy of a note. A corrugated iron and wood
                                             building 30ft x 6ft was erected by a Committee and

          Mount Morgan                       was equipped with desks and forms so the Hall could
                                             be used by day as a School room. In 1905 Mrs Helen
                                             Goodwin opened a private school in the hall with fees
          Hot Bread Shop                     of 6 pence to 9 pence - expensive education in those
                                             days. However the education department in 1905 set up
             Phone: 4938 1427                a school and Mrs Goodwin was head teacher. Children
                                             attended the School till 1944 and in those years 15
                                             teachers had taught at the Struck Oil School. After the
                                             closure of the School the children were transported by
                                             bus to the Mount Morgan School.
                                             When you think of the many small schools about 14,
                                             in the district of Mount Morgan how many teachers
                                             would have been required to impart knowledge to these
    Breads, Cakes, Slices, Rolls, Scones,    children. It would seem that teaching was a much more
                                             popular profession than it is today.

                           THE STORY OF BAREE
                            (WINDING STREAM)
                   This is an extract written by Fred Cole – 26.10.1973

Baree is a small suburb of Mount Morgan and is two miles from Mount Morgan Post Office to Baree Post Office.
In the early days it was known as the Two Mile. Some of the oldies say that Mount Morgan was a suburb of Baree.
The word “Baree” is aboriginal and means “Winding Creek”, so named because the creek known as Dairy Creek
winds its way from Moongan to meet the Dee River near the football grounds. The name “Dairy Creek” was so
named because of the dairy farms along its banks. Dairy Creek runs under no less than six railway bridges. The
highest population figure would probably have been around the years 1914 –1916 or 1918 and would have been
500 – 600.
The area would have covered approximately one square mile. The railway line was through Baree about 1898 and
each railway bridges had its own particular name – Boylans, Orfords, Barbers, Mercers, Harkins and one other.
The first station mistress was Mrs. McArthur and then Mrs. Brackley and Mrs. Lomas. It was at Mrs. McArthur’s
station house that the Red Cross soup kitchen was set up during the terrible Bubonic Plague epidemic of 1900,
that some of the folks present will no doubt remember.
Quite a few local people died from it. We, as kids, used to take out billycans of hot soup to people who were sick.
Baree was in the Shire of Calliungal, which took in the country from Walterhall to Moongan on the northern
boundary and the southern part extended from the cemetery to down near Wura. Chairmen of the Shire were
Henry Searle, Frank Cunningham, Davey Jones and Mick Lee. Around the year 1930 –31, the Town Council and
Calliungal Shire Council merged and, from the first election Mr. Henry Searle became the first Chairman of the
new Council. Shire Clerks were Vic Taylor, Fred Bowen and Malachi Staunton.
In Baree there existed an organisation known as the W.P.O, similar to what we know now as the A.L.P, W.P.O.
stood for “Workers Political Organisation” From this body came Mr. James Peterson who became a Member of
Parliament for a number of years.
There were quite a few shops in Baree at various times. The best known, I suppose, would have been the Baree
Post Office Store which is the only shop still trading.
Early occupants were Mr. McBowan, Mr. Clark, and Mr. McGladdery (known to the lads as “Frosty” on account
of his white whiskers), Charles Marks, Frank Kelland, Mrs. E. Hoskins, Reg Geddes, Glen Menzies and the
present owners Mr and Mrs. Noel Quinn.

At the foot of the School hill was a small shop and this was constructed over the years by Wall Long, Percy Hound,
Mrs. Cunningham and Mrs. Cochrane (Happ’s mother).This shop was a very popular spot for the school children
that frequented the place for 3d worth of aniseed balls, fruit and lollypops. Another store, the Red Store, was built
after the decline of the Dee Rush by Crozier Bros, and afterwards came Tom Danaher, Paddy Cleary, Mick Lee
and Geo Thompson. This store was on the spot where Mr. Lionel Burrows now lives (Creek Street opposite the
Baree Railway Station).
There was a small shop in the railway yards close to the Baree Railway Station owned by Mr. Fred West. This was
later pulled down and removed to a spot next to the School of Arts and was added to and, after Mr. West’s death,
it was run by Mrs. West and Roger Gowland. Later on the shop was remodeled and conducted by Mr. Lal Stubbs
who carried on the business until his retirement a few years ago. On the flat opposite the Railway Station, Hillers
had a mixed business, which was burnt down one very cold night in 1902. The whistle of a water train passing
through gave the alarm.
Mrs. Fastings also had a small shop just a short distance further down on the ground where Mr.Les Thompson
lives. Another shop was further out along the road where Mr. Tom Passmore lives. This was a much bigger
store and was run by J.J.Brinston, a brother of Archie Brinston and uncle of Bill Brinston, the present owner of
Capricornia Buses. Next to this shop was a barbershop, which, I understand did not last long. Haircuts in those
days were 6d., now they are $1.30. Also on this area was Shepherd’s butcher shop. This butchery was previously
attached to the back of the “Golden Spur Hotel”. Later on, Mrs. Jim McHugh conducted this butchery.
A brick kiln and brickyard, owned by Gunthorpes stood on the ground where Kev Winter now lives. A Chinese
Store was close to the brickyards for a time. Mrs. Rebetzke also ran a small shop close to the Railway Station. In
the big kitchen of the Rebetzke home was where most of the teenagers learnt to dance in the early 1900’s, to the
music played by Mr. Rebetzke on his accordian.

to show appreciation and affection. The Rebetzke’s

flowers, fruit trees and grape vines and a lovely well of
