  • One Day in Melbourne – fresh and exciting

    The 4th ‘One Day in Melbourne’ for missions’ communications personnel this year under fresh leadership will be held at Craigieburn Salvation Army on Saturday 10 August.

  • Woes of not burning off

    The Mackay Mayor and fellow Councillors met the hood burgers of Bloomsbury and Midge Point (Whitsundays mainland) last year, In that community discussion I provided photographs of the Laguna Quays Resort overgrown areas and asked about back-burning which has been in past years a normal part of prevention of bush fires.

  • International sports galore

    It is my place to fill-in for sport writer Wes Tronson as the EPL is on their off-season. So therefore, I have noticed this month has seen an amazing amount of international sports on show both overseas and in Australia.

  • Footplate Padre - first diesels set the pace

    As the Footplate Padre I can attest so many things that happen early in the year sets the agenda for the ensuing twelve months, whether that be at school, university, the work place, the church, or in your personal relationships.

    The 2019 young writers annual awards set for Saturday 10 August at the Craigieburn Salvation Army (75 Interlink Dr) – there is each year a run down on who might get the year’s Basil Sellers Winners.

  • You’re kidding, a church is where?

    Churches today can be found in the most astonishing places. Over the years I have read of a de-commissioned passenger aircraft now utilised as a church. Some use tents, some use outdoor chapels in the bush, some use large houses or hotels / motels.

  • Australia’s seaboard has history

    Australia’s seaboard is constantly in the news with border protection right up there. In WWII the Japanese ran amok on Australia's eastern seaboard in 1942-43 with submarine attacks, air attacks and moreover Sydney and Newcastle were shelled let alone northern and the western seaboard of Australian with the bombing of Darwin all the way to Broome.

  • Australian history and Christianity

    There have been numerous books, television programs and on-line histories of Australia. In some respect they all have some mention of Christianity. We might highlight school education, hospitals, political movements to mention just three where Christianity played ‘the’ role.

  • Retirement in Christian work ?

    In Australia, there is now no mandatory 'retirement age'. This is an advantage for those who are enthusiastic and still active at maintaining their long-term job or profession, but it can be a problem for those who are getting tired and weary and let's face the fact not really benefiting their employer as much as their senior wage would indicate they should be.
