  • COVID-19 Vaccinations in Gayndah Monday, May 10 – Wednesday, May 12
    COVID-19 vaccinations in Gayndah Monday, May 10 – Wednesday, May 12 What’s happening? Wide Bay Hospital and Health Service (WBHHS) is offering COVID-19 vaccinations to members of the Gayndah community through a three-day outreach clinic from May 10-12. WBHHS is supporting the Queensland and Australian governments in rolling out the COVID-19 vaccine in planned stages. We are one of a number of vaccine providers, alongside General Practitioners across the Wide Bay Burnett region. Currently there are no medical practices in Gayndah able to provide the vaccine, although this may change in future. However, WBHHS is working closely with local practices in an effort to vaccinate Gayndah residents who would like to be protected against COVID-19, and whose nearest available practices offering the vaccine would otherwise be in Mundubbera or Biggenden. WBHHS medical specialists continue to recommend that all people be assessed for COVID-19 vaccination. Our outreach clinic will offer the AstraZeneca vaccine, which is preferred for people aged 50 and older. Those under 50 may still choose to have the vaccine, but should discuss the risks and benefits to them personally with the clinic medical officer to decide if it’s right for them. If you have general questions about the COVID-19 vaccine, including safety information and a comprehensive set of Frequently Asked Questions, visit the Queensland Government COVID-19 vaccine web page at www.qld.gov.au/covid19vaccine. How do I book an appointment? Making a vaccination appointment is as simple as calling our Wide Bay booking hotline on 4303 8700 from 8am – 4.30pm, Monday to Friday – or leave a message outside those hours and one of our team members will call you back.

The Avro 504K, 20 of which were ordered in 1918 and another 35 received as part of the Imperial Gift, became an important part of the newly-formed RAAF's operational capability throughout the 1920s. The Imperial Gift was Britain's donation of aero- planes and equipment to the Dominions in 1919 to establish air forces.

  • Anglo Saxons Can't Communicate
    Anglo Saxons Can't communicate I, THE AUTHOR, AT LEFT, AGED NINE, WAS DETERMINED TO BREAK THE LACK-OF-TALKING-CYCLE FROM ONE OF THE MOST REMOTE AND (NON TALKING) PARTS OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE. MY BROTHER PAUL IS ALSO PICTURED. It seems that many of us Anglo Saxons are happy to die with all our jobs up to date, but in no way knowing very much of our genes or family tree. A huge body of knowledge and experience will therefore never be shared around for notionally English people. Many will say: “who cares.” In Australia, high suicide rates of Anglo Saxon youths accompany this lack of extended family. I further have discovered that Anglo Saxon commication skills are about equivalent to those of furry penguins. Can anything be done to remedy this? Read on, or just buy the book when it comes out. Preface (an appeal to all non-English folk who like talking) Can you please assist us stiff-upper-lip folk to discover and value our extended families. While you are at it, we need your help to see a meal as more than an impediment to our busy programs, and to string a meal out for several hours, during which time we need to stop thinking about protocol and building monuments and find out what is in the hearts of our friends and family. We need to learn to talk for pleasure and stop banging on about procedural matters and infrastructure creation. While you ethnic minorities are at it, can you please help us find our talking gene so that improved relationships might discourage some of our youth suicides and prevent some of us from getting plonked into aged care facilities when we become an impediment in the infrastructure we helped to create.

  • Queensland Geological Framework
    Geological framework (Compiled by I.W. Withnall & L.C. Cranfield) The geological framework outlined here provides a basic overview of the geology of Queensland and draws particularly on work completed by Geoscience Australia and the Geological Survey of Queensland. Queensland contains mineralisation in rocks as old as Proterozoic (~1880Ma) and in Holocene sediments, with world-class mineral deposits as diverse as Proterozoic sediment-hosted base metals and Holocene age dune silica sand. Potential exists for significant mineral discoveries in a range of deposit styles, particularly from exploration under Mesozoic age shallow sedimentary cover fringing prospective older terranes. The geology of Queensland is divided into three main structural divisions: the Proterozoic North Australian Craton in the north-west and north, the Paleozoic–Mesozoic Tasman Orogen (including the intracratonic Permian to Triassic Bowen and Galilee Basins) in the east, and overlapping Mesozoic rocks of the Great Australian Basin (Figure 1). The structural framework of Queensland has recently been revised in conjunction with production of a new 1:2 million-scale geological map of Queensland (Geological Survey of Queensland, 2012), and also the volume on the geology of Queensland (Withnall & others, 2013). In some cases the divisions have been renamed. Because updating of records in the Mineral Occurrence database—and therefore the data sheets that accompany this product—has not been completed, the old nomenclature as shown in Figure 1 is retained here, but the changes are indicated in the discussion below. North Australian Craton Proterozoic rocks crop out in north-west Queensland in the Mount Isa Province as well as the McArthur and South Nicholson Basins and in the north as the Etheridge Province in the Georgetown, Yambo and Coen Inliers and Savannah Province in the Coen Inlier.

ROBERTSON 72 CAINOZOIC VOLCANIC ROCKS IN THE BUNDABERG - GIN GIN - PIALBA AREA, QUEENSLAND by A.D. Robertson ABSTRACT. Six periods of volcanic activity have been recognized during the Cainozoic Era in the southern portion of the Bundaberg and the northern part of the Maryborough 1:250 000 sheet areas. Most have been short lived (less than 15 to 2 Ma) and all are of limited areal extent. The composition of the lavas vary with successive eruptive periods. The Palaeocene to early Eocene volcanics (Gin Gin and Pemberton Grange Basalts) are dominantly theoleiitic in composition. By the mid-Miocene, alkali basalt was being extruded. Moderately to strongly undersaturated lavas (Tararan and Maroondan Melanephelinites) were extruded during the Pliocene, and by the Pleistocene the magma composition had changed back towards the alkali basalt — hawaiite field. The late Pleistocene Berrembea Basalt exhibits a range of composition from moderately undersaturated to lava having tholeiitic affinities. The Tararan Melanephelinite with its entrained upper mantle — lower crustal xenoliths implies magma generation in the upper mantle with a direct passage through the crust.
