Tablelands Regional Council presents Round 14 of the RADF program, announcing that applications are now open for grants until Tuesday 31 March 2015 . It is a requirement of the TRC RADF program that you contact the RADF Liaison Officer, on 4089 2305 prior to submitting your application. Failure to do so may affect your eligibility for funding. Budget preparation and planning advice is available free of charge. Contact the Regional Arts Officer at [email protected] To get guidelines and forms for a RADF grant, go to http://www.trc.qld.gov.au/lifestyle-activities/regional-arts -development-fund/ RADF Supports Children’s Art Clubs & Youth Groups The Herberton Children’s Art Club sought and were successful, together with the Atherton Children’s Art Club, in receiving a RADF grant to support the establishment of their clubs through creative projects in the second half of 2014. The results of the Atherton group are currently on the walls of the Foyer Gallery in Atherton. The Herberton group were given permission to do a mural on the 5 Star Supermarket wall in the heart of Herberton. (pictured left) They commissioned local artist Ken Devine to tutor the local kids for the mural. Ken is also mak- ing a concrete sculpture with the kids as part of this project. The mural involves Herberton history and is due for completion this month. The Tablelands Youth Movement completed their mosa- ics and painting for the “Sitting Proud” RADF funded project. This project has allowed all youth involved and two youth facilitators to learn new art skills and have a positive impact on the town of Malanda. You can view the artwork on English St. Malanda. Dr Kate Costigan and Flo Bridger are Brisbane-based writers offering workshops for aspiring, emerging and established creative writers. Individuals and groups of all ages and experience are welcomed. The work- shops are provided in rural and regional areas. They cover a wide range of genres and include writing and editing skills; identification and development of writers’ networks and strategies for promotion, sales and successful publication. Their workshops are tailored to meet the needs and interests of local participants and include writing poetry, short stories, novels and song. Kate and Flo’s next weekend workshop is on the 7th and 8th March, 2015, at the CWA Hall in Yungaburra . This event is supported by the Tablelands Regional Council’s, Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF), the Yungaburra Association, and the University of the Third Age.

Searching for a creative outlet when her children were educated, Jan found patchwork and her artistry began its rapid rise. She began with traditional forms and moved quickly into modern and textural pieces. Her enthusiasm engendered excite- ment in others and she began a career in tutoring. Attending national quilt conventions allowed her to bring new techniques and ideas back to the Far North Queensland region. Jan continues to share these ideas and tech- niques with anyone wanting to learn.

  • Our Complete History
    Cairns Chamber of Commerce 100 Years of History Pre 1909 – setting the scene The decision to create a remote community on the banks of untamed Trinity Bay, and the arrival of several hundred intrepid settlers in 1876, were the genesis of the City of Cairns. Facing these pioneering men, women and children as they sailed into sight of land ‐ on board the Leichhardt, Victoria and Porpoise – was an overwhelming contradiction of dense mangrove swamps, mudflats and sand dunes set against a spectacular blue‐green mountain backdrop. Before them were timber shanties, tents, and make‐shift jetties niched into small clearings around the water’s edge. Watching from a distance were members of the local indigenous clans who had occupied this land for over 50,000 years. These clans – Yirranydji and Yidinji – settled into a defensive and uneasy existence with the new arrivals. Government hydrographic and survey vessels and fishermen anchored in Trinity Inlet during the decade or two before the Far North’s gold rush began. Hardy prospectors chasing gold on the Palmer River had begun arriving in 1873. Primitive infrastructure was erected on the foreshore to service the promising goldfields to the wild north, and newly discovered tin deposits around Herberton and Irvinebank in the largely unexplored hinterland. James Venture Mulligan’s announcement in Cooktown in early 1876 that alluvial gold had been discovered, led to a rush of nearly 3000 miners to Hodgkinson goldfield. His accurate warning that the find would not pay out went unheeded by miners and the government of the day, all in the grip of gold fever.
