Providing you with peace of mind
In recent conversation the statement was made that most
gold mines were found by one person, sometimes by
luck more than seeking. We know that our famous mine
was discovered by one, William MacKinlay in 1882,
after many had been seeking a reef in the Dee River. So
investigation started on how other mines of Queensland
were discovered.
Firstly, Gympie. Again one man - James Nash in 1867
discovered Gympie gold which became the third largest
Queensland gold mine after Charters Towers and of
course, Mount Morgan. Like Ironstone Mountain, our
town’s first name, Gympie was known as Nashville prior
to being re-named Gympie. Gympie’s yearly festival is
called “Gympie Gold Rush Festival”, held in October
each year for 10 days of cultural events. Unfortunately
with rapid development, Gympie resulted in streets laid
out in irregular fashion- not the grid pattern common to
most Queensland towns. Today Gympie has future gold
mining resources, agriculture, timber and tourism that
play important roles.
By chance, the gold discovery of Charters Towers was by
an Indigenous boy, Jupiter Mossman, who found a gold
rock in the river bed. From this start, a total of 10 reefs were
eventually mined. Charters Towers was enjoying such
boom times in 1872/1899; it had its own Stock Exchange
and a population of 30,000 made it Queensland’s second
city. Charters Towers was affectionately known as “The
World” because anything one desired was obtainable in
that city. Their annual event held on Australia Day weekend is “The Charters Towers Goldfields Ashes” when
approximately 200 teams of cricketers visit. It is reported
that today Charters Towers has more gold underground
than what was mined in the rush of the 1800’s. It also
has a beef industry, and education with many secondary
schools and is very important and caters for many families
from Western Queensland.
While in 1882 two pastoralist brothers, William and
Frank Hann reported finding traces of gold in the Palmer
River, it was James Mulligan- an experienced prospector
who confirmed plenty of alluvial gold and so the rush
began. With posters depicting Palmer River as a place
of waterfalls, butterflies and luxuriant vegetation,
thousands from Europe and China flocked to the area.
Sadly, anti-Chinese sentiment grew, and a conflict known
as the “Tong Wars” resulted. Unlike the poster adds, the
Palmer River can be a harsh place, and many people died
of tropical diseases. Although the surface gold has been
prospected, handfuls of deeper projects remain.
Other priceless items from Palmer River area are the
pencil drawings of an Indigenous boy, named Oscar. In
March 1899, a cattle station owner, Henry Glissan noticed
one of his young boys had a liking for drawing (chalk on
stone), and gave him a book and coloured pencils. From
this, Oscar’s talent, his pencil drawings (forty of them,
depicting life as it was in those days) are displayed in the
National Museum of Australia.

CHICAGO - It has razzle dazzled audiences around the
world, and soon this smash hit musical will hit the local
stage.
This month, The Pilbeam Theatre, Rockhampton will host
the highly anticipated local production of CHICAGO;
kicking off the first of six shows this Friday evening.
Set in the prohibition era of the late 1920s, CHICAGO
follows the gritty and glitzy tale of Roxie Hart and Velma
Kelly; two women who find themselves on trial for the
murders of their respective lovers.
Sent to the Cook County Jail to bide their time, the duo
fall under the sway of the scheming Matron “Mama”
Morton.
With the help of a persuasive lawyer, Billy Flynn, the
pair fuel their desires for fortune, fame and freedom and
stop at nothing in an entertaining battle to attain each.
Among the local talent getting set to take the stage this
week is Mount Morgan resident, Anna Kahler, who has
sealed the role of Matron “Mama” Morton.
Definitely no stranger to stage productions, the local
talent and Drama and English teacher
for Mount Morgan High, has dedicated
much of her time assisting school
productions, along with performing in a
variety of regional musicals.
“I love music and performing and am so grateful that I
have the opportunity to be involved in such a professional
performance with a great production team and seriously
talented performers.”
CHICAGO is set to treat its audience to knockout
performances, along with an impressive line-up of show
stopping hits.
The production will see Anna perform the duet “Class”
with Amanda Locker (playing Velma Kelly), along with
one of the production’s favourite solos “When you’re
good to Mama”.
CHICAGO is being performed in Rockhampton at the
Pilbeam Theatre on Friday, March 15, Saturday March
16, Sunday March 17, Friday March 22 and Saturday,
March 23. Tickets can be purchased from the Pilbeam
Theatre Box Office, Dial’n’Charge on 4927 4111 and
online at www.seeitlive.com.au
The production is presented by Rockhampton Regional
Council; part of the 2013 See It Live Theatre Season.

Anna’s most recent performances
include a role in Rockhampton’s
“Guys and Dolls” in 2011 along with
a role in Rockhampton’s hit stage play
“Hairspray” in 2012, playing a member
of the Dynamites.
Discussing her latest role, Anna said
she is looking forward to the upcoming
production and passing on her newly
acquired skills to her local students.
“I got back into doing theatre as I wanted
to learn the skills that I could then pass
onto the students at Mount Morgan
High and further assist with this year’s
school production,” Anna said.

Young talent gets set for world stage performance
It almost seems an understatement to say that 2013 is set
to be a big year for local resident, and vocalist Jonathon
Stock.
Jonathon was invited to send in an application for a spot
in the team after applying with a performance clip on
Youtube.
The upcoming months are set to see the young talent
celebrate his 18th birthday; record a number of original
songs for an EP (selection of self-performed songs); and
receive word on his audition for a spot in this year’s
nationwide hit television program and talent search, X
Factor.
He will bring some impressive experience with him to
the competition, taking up singing and singing lessons
during his primary school years, along with songwriting
and numerous performances during his years at high
school.
But the excitement doesn’t stop there…
This July will see Jonathon head for Hollywood, USA,
where he will represent Australia at the 2013 World
Championships of Performing Arts.
The competition, which celebrates its 17th year in July,
is universally cited as the one-and-only official global
event for performers and entertainers, both amateur and
professional.
The event will welcome participants from over 40
countries to the Olympic-style talent competition, and is
set to include rounds of heats for a variety of performing
art categories, with gold, silver and bronze medals
awarded to top challengers in the final rounds.
Jonathon will be competing in the singing events, which
will see him perform four different songs (one for each of
the four vocal categories), each restricted to 60 seconds
per song.
Although he admits he will be up against
some tough competition, Jonathon
says he is looking forward to the entire
experience.
National Director Lizette Hunt, said she has strong faith
in Jonathon’s abilities.
“We only take the crème of the crop to LA,” Lizette said.
“I believe that Jonathon will definitely stand out and do
fantastic in Hollywood.”
Jonathon will be leaving for Hollywood on the 6th of
July and will return on the 21st of that month.
In the meantime, Jonathon is seeking sponsorship to
assist in covering the costs for the trip; with an estimated
$6,500 required.
Jonathon and his family have arranged a number of
official sponsorship requests for around the region
and are also planning to host fundraising events in the
community in the coming months. (See future issues of
the Argus for event and project details.)
Pictured: Jonathon Stock will be heading to Hollywood this year to
compete in the 2013 World Championships of Performing Arts.

“I am really excited to be involved in
this competition and to be representing
my country,” he said.
“The big dream for the future is to be a
recording artist, so I am really looking
forward to learning more about the
music industry and seeing some really
great performers.”
Showcasing the variety of talent around
the globe, the competition is also
recognised for its potential in steading
future performing careers; providing
national exposure and experience.
Jonathon is one of 39 Aussies to head to
Hollywood for the contest.

Cent Sale success for Mt Morgan Railway Museum
Local residents, Amber Buckles, Rose Munez and Abbey
Buckles (pictured) were among the many community
members to enjoy an afternoon of great company and
great prizes last Saturday; attending a cent sale hosted
by the volunteers Mount Morgan Railway Museum.
The funds raised from the event will help fund various
future projects for the Mount Morgan Railway Museum.
Around 70 people headed to the Mount Morgan School
of Arts Hall for the event, eager to try their luck with the
scores of prizes up for grabs.
Attendees were treated to a free afternoon tea before the
cent sale’s official commencement, which also included
lucky door and multidraw raffles.
Proving a win for all, the afternoon saw many take home
one or more prizes, as well as an impressive $1,350
raised through the event.
President of Mount Morgan Railway Inc Carol Stock
said she was very impressed with the event’s turn out.
“I would like to thank all for their support. It was a great
afternoon.” Carol said.
Over $500 has been donated to the Mount
Morgan SES and Calliungal Rural Fire Brigade,
thanks to a local fundraiser and the generosity of
the local community.
The sum was raised through a Thank You
Barbeque held in Mount Morgan’s CBD last
Saturday morning.
The event was held as an opportunity for the
local community to thank all local emergency
service crews for their valued and continuous
efforts, as well as a way to see funds raised for
the local SES and Rural Fire Brigade.
Although the weather appeared bleak for the
majority of the morning, it wasn’t enough to deter
a large number of local residents supporting the
event; purchasing food and drinks, making donations, and trying
their luck in the two raffles donated for the occasion. A number of
residents also took the opportunity to have a chat to the members
of the emergency service crews who were in attendance on the
day.
A total of $550.55 was raised during the morning, with all funds
donated to the Mount Morgan SES and Calliungal Rural Fire
Brigade at the event’s end.
The event was sponsored by Mount Morgan IGA, Mount Morgan
Promotion and Development, Mt Morgan News, TMC Tours, The
Mount Morgan Hot Bread Shop and members of the community.

Last Sunday marked Mount
Morgan’s
2013
Clean
up Australia Day event,
and for a number of local
residents, this meant hands
up and gloves on.
Around 25 locals gathered
in Morgan Street early
on Sunday morning to
volunteer for the local
clean up; marking a record
number of helping hands
for the event in recent
years.
Participants donned safety
gloves and took to the local
streets with rubbish bags;
eager to help make the
Mount that little bit tidier.
Mount Morgan Central’s
Year 7s made up a large
percentage of the crowd on
the morning, with each student pitching in and making an
impressive mark in Morgan Street.
Other areas of the town tidied as part of the event included
residential streets, Mount Morgan’s lookouts, Boyd Park
and the Number 7 Dam.
Together the group saw a total of 11 Clean up Australia
Day rubbish bags filled by the morning’s end.
The local group made up part of the 55,000+ people
to give their time in recognition of the national event,
with their efforts contributing to the staggering 16,000+
tonnes of rubbish collected around the country this year.
The Mount Morgan Safe and Confident Living Social
Group decided they would like to have a day in town, just
reacquainting themselves with a couple of the attractions
the town has to offer.
They had hoped to do a mine tour, but unfortunately the
recent weather took that opportunity from them, but they
will be doing it as soon as they can.
The morning was spent visiting the local museum.
It was noted that there had been many changes and
improvements since their last visit, so it is good to
be able to tell others what they saw.
We then had a lovely cuppa at the bakery and
finished the day having the best lunch at the
Leichhardt Hotel.
If you would like to know more about the social
group, please contact Andrea from UnitingCare
Community on 4930 7324. Alternatively, you
can also find out further details from the Safe &
Confident Living members who participate in our
social gatherings.
The local event was coordinated by the Mount Morgan
Rotary Club.
Pictured above: Mount Morgan is looking that little bit tidier thanks to
the impressive efforts of a number of local residents who took part in
last Sunday’s local Clean Up Australia Day event. Pictured are part of
the group.
Missed out on tidying the town?
There are still plenty of opportunities to be involved in
Clean up Australia events. Head online to the official
site for further details on how individuals, businesses,
and communities can help clean up Australia any day
of the year: http://www.cleanupaustraliaday.org.au
Please note, the March monthly meeting has been
cancelled, so we will see you at 2:30pm 16th April at the
Office. Keep safe and take care.

People in Profile: Mick Geiszler
People in Profile People in Profile People in Profile People in Profile People in Profile People in Profile People in
ofile People in Profile People in Profile People in Profile People in Profile People in Profile People in Profile Peo
By Heather Quarry
Michael Ernest Geiszler (known to most people as Mick)
was born 4th February 1953 at Monto Queensland. He
moved from Monto to Rockhampton where his dad
worked at the meat works and his mum was a house wife
who looked after the children (one girl and five boys).
Despite a few hard knocks in his life and losing a parent
when still young, Mick feels the experiences have helped
make him the person he is today. Mick’s mum was an
epileptic who was diagnosed with a brain tumour in
1961. He remembers himself, his sister and younger
brother were taken to a neighbour’s place. “We were told
our mum was gone on a holiday on 7th of October 1961”
he says as he remembers this time. He found out a few
days later when everyone was dressed up that she had
actually passed away. After that Mick spent two years in
Maryborough with an auntie before getting a ride back to
Rockhampton in a removalist company’s truck.
Over time Mick’s dad met a lady that had ten children.
With sixteen children between them there was quite a
lot of family friction amongst them. Some are still like
brothers to Mick though and they stay in touch. Mick
attended North Rockhampton State School (which is now
a Christian school) and Park State in Tinana. He finished
his school years in grade seven with his favourite subjects
being Social Studies, Maths and English. He loved
cricket and played some league cricket as well. Mick is
still an avid cricket lover and watches it every chance
he gets. He enjoys salt water fishing (both pro fishing
and recreational). When asked if he wanted to continue
school, Mick replied quietly “My English Teacher, Mr
Hickman wanted me to go onto high school but dad said
no. My place was working on the dairy farm dad had
shares in, not going to school.”
Working in a dairy at a young age was hard yakka in
earlier years and Mick remembers being up at daylight,
jumping on a painted horse to get the cows in. He never
owned shoes to work in so shovelling floors, washing up
the dairy and the dairy utensils using an old 44 gallon
drum with wood under it was never easy.
It was during Mick’s mid-teen years when he decided to
leave home – he recalls his Dad wasn’t very happy at
the time. “I remember waiting behind a huge burned out
stump until I got a ride with Les Pickering who drove
the cream truck. He took me to Biloela and bought me
a vanilla milk shake and two big hamburgers. I’ll never
forget that,” he laughs.
“The worst living arrangements I ever had during that
time was living on my own for awhile under the Fitzroy
Bridge. It was very scary and every move I thought was a
burglar. I ran into a lady called Mrs Bailey who had eight
people living at her place but she took me in” Mick states
with a thankful sigh. Mr Hogborn, the Personnel Officer
at the Meat Works when Mick was fifteen years old, gave
Mick a chance to prove himself despite not being the
legal age of sixteen - the age you were supposed to be
to start work there. Getting a ride to work was easy but
Mick had to walk home after most of his shifts. His pay
was 27 dollars a week so he thought it was worth it.
When asked about different places he had lived, Mick
stated strongly that the best move he ever made was
moving to Mount Morgan. He says buying a house and
raising a family in the Mount was the best thing he could
have ever done. He believes Mount Morgan is a great
place to bring up a family.
Mick has a passion for working on cars. He helped his
dad put a head on his truck at the age of nine and pulled
his first motor apart when he was eighteen. He passed
for his driver’s license when he was seventeen and is self
taught with motor mechanic skills. Even though he is not
a ticketed motor mechanic, Mick has been working on
cars for approximately forty years.
Mick’s wife, Dianne Lesley Geiszler was born 2nd of
December, 1958 at the Royal Brisbane Hospital and had
one brother as well as four sisters. Dianne attended a
state school in Darling Point, Brisbane then went to a
special school. Her favourite subject was always Maths.
Competition Marching, Jazz, Ballet and swimming at
the pool were a few of Dianne’s favourite sports. She
stayed at school until grade eight then went out to work
at a meat works factory in Brisbane when she was fifteen
years old. Mick and Dianne have six children, two girls
and four boys.
In a future issue of People in Profile, we hope to bring
you more of Dianne’s life and continue on with a little
more about Mick.

story worth sharing, or they would like to share their
own, please leave your name and number with the Mount

The countdown is on for the 2013 Golden Mount Festival,
with just seven weeks until the big event!!
Here are a couple of information items to help you get
ready for the Festival!
Key dates:
The 2013 Golden Mount Festival will be held on: Friday
the 3rd, Saturday the 4th and Sunday the 5th of May.
2013 Golden Mount Festival Theme:
The theme of the 2013 Golden Mount Festival is “One
town, many cultures”. With under a couple of months
until the big parade, be sure to start planning your floats!
We would like to encourage the use of recycled material
used to decorate your floats – with a special prize
expected for the most creative use of these items.
Early programme details:
Friday evening: The usual family fun day (routinely
scheduled on the Monday) will now be incorporated in
an event set to be held on the Friday evening. This will
be the official opening of the Golden Mount Festival and
will kick off at 5pm.
Currently we are hoping to incorporate fireworks,
floating lanterns, kids’ rides, food and some fantastic
entertainment to the evening’s programme – an exciting
way to officially open the annual festivities!
Friday evening decorations - we need your creativity!:
As part of this special Friday evening event, we would
like to offer all members of the community the chance to
have your very own, personalised decorations on display.
We plan to see the Big Dam decorated with numerous
lanterns and would like to welcome community members,
businesses, organisations and local groups to make a
lantern to be included. Decorate a pre-made lantern
or make one from scratch, and find a way to represent
you or your group personally through your designs.
See upcoming issues of the Argus for tips and tricks on
making your own lanterns.
Over the Christmas break, the Dee Bowls Club had
improvements made to the green, which will make both
play and maintenance a lot better.
With a successful application to the gaming commission,
the Club was able to have concrete ditch boards installed.
Many of the timber ditch boards were from the original
installation in the 1950’s and were no longer doing the
job they were designed to perform. Those members
of the club who had laboured to replace portions of
the surrounds, were particularly pleased that funding
was made available for repairs. It has been such a
labour intensive task to repair them. And with funding,
these timbers have been fully replaced with moulded
concrete ditch boards that meet all the current standard
measurements and tolerances.
The Dee Bowls Club now proudly invites all bowlers
and anyone interested in the sport to come out to the
Clubhouse, enjoy the friendly atmosphere and try the
green for themselves.
Mixed social play continues on Thursday afternoon at
1pm; the Ladies Club Play on Tuesday mornings and
Barefoot bowls is held on Sunday afternoons at 3pm.
Please come and utilise this wonderful sporting and social
facility which the Dee Bowls Club offers the community
of Mount Morgan.
Are you having trouble tracing your family history??
Mount Morgan Historical Museum can teach you how
to do it. Improve your skills, become a member and
learn while helping out at the Museum.
The Museum also has two vintage vehicles that require
maintaining. Mick, our mechanic is willing to teach
basic mechanic skills. It may just lead in to the trade.
All ages welcome.

Your garden’s wet weather woes:
The wet weather brings with it a myriad of problems
for the home gardener. These problems can include
compacted soil, nutrient loss and soil erosion. Bacterial
and fungal problems are major issues. The following is a
brief breakdown of the cause of these problems and some
solutions.
Soil compaction:
The continual pounding of the raindrops onto the soil
causes soil compaction. Areas with soil compaction are
normally barren and the surface is smooth. The addition
of a good quality organic mulch to the soil will solve this
problem.
Nutrient loss:
Nutrient leaching is caused from the water running
through the soil. There is nothing immediate to see, but a
couple of weeks after the rain ceases, the plants will start
to look yellow and unhealthy. The best way to fix nutrient
leaching is to add compost and a fertiliser to the soil once
the rain has finished and before your plants start to suffer
too much.
Soil erosion:
Soil erosion in your garden is caused by runoff removing
the previous topsoil. The deep furrows through the
garden make it obvious to even the amateur gardener that
this has taken place. To repair the erosion you need to fill
the craters with well-mulched soil. For larger areas, the
installation of sub soil drainage will lessen the chances of
this happening again, however this can be an expensive
exercise both in time and money.
Fungal and bacterial problems:
Fungal and bacterial problems are caused by a buildup of
moisture on the leaves of the plant, which when combined
with a lack of air movement, provides an ideal incubator
for fungal and/or bacterial spores to grow. There are both
natural and chemical treatments for these problems and
if unsure please ask an expert to diagnose your problem
and suggest a solution.
It’s great to see the Big Dam full and our beloved Mount
Morgan looking green.
More restocking of the Dam again and things are looking
good all-around in terms of infrastructure. This is truly
a lovely fishing spot, albeit under used by some of our
young residents.
Lots of water means more feed coming down for the fish.
Harder to catch you think? No my young friends, you just
have to think a little more and apply your smart minds to
the problem at hand.
A little on catching Silver Perch:
Silvers, as I call them, cruise around in a pack or shoal
approximately 10 to 15 metres from the bank. They move
in packs their own size ie- 15cm long or up to 30cm long,
but never a mixed bag. If you hook one, keep moving
clockwise ahead of your last strike.
Great bait:
The new soft plastic red worms that come in a sealed
see-through container (matchbox size) are excellent bait.
From memory, they are soaked in krill oil. Try them on
a bubble float, approximately 1 metre drop. Last month
most fishing tackle shops were giving them away as a
promotion gig – check them out.
A little on catching Eel Tail:
Eel Tail Catties are in abundance kids – get your mum or
dad to take you down with a lantern after dark – the light
attracts them. You only have to cast out 3 metres using
the common garden snail as bait, in fact if you can grab
some from around the garden, freeze them and then crush
them to burly the spot you are fishing. The Eel Tail is one
of the top fresh water eating in Queensland.
Bill the Painter.
P.S. - Next issue I will let you know where I catch my big
Yellow Belly.
In conclusion:
I would say that the old saying of “prevention is better
than cure” is true in gardening. A free draining well
mulched soil combined with a regular organic fertilising
regime will keep your plants healthy. Planting in raised
garden beds stops water sitting around the base of the
plant. Regular pruning of the plant keeps it open and
allows air movement around the branches and leaves.
Good gardening practices will keep your plant healthy
and free from problems, however there are always
exceptions.

With the warmer weather still present, you may be
spotting snakes close by to your premise.
As many are aware, Australia is home to some of
the world’s deadliest snakes and it is important to
remember to avoid putting yourself in a dangerous
situation and avoid attempting to catch or remove
a snake. In most cases, snakes avoid contact
with humans, however they are known to defend
themselves when they feel threatened.
Local snake catcher, Peter Wills is available to assist
in removing and relocating snakes from your premise.
Phone Peter on 0478 227 863 for further details or if
a snake is found.

Pork Hocks in beer
with creamy rough mash & sweet
carrots with gravy
I normally would cook this in the hark smoker
for about 7 hours at135C or in the oven, covered with
foil for most of the cooking time - but I was in a rush
today, plus I also have a new play toy (a new pressure
cooker) and I had to have dinner out in under an hour
and it had to be Pork Hocks. Done, I love my German
Mother-in-law for my new toy. My wife Karin loves
pork hocks- it must be her German heritage.
This recipe is for the pressure cooker, plus I’ve added
the method for oven cooking as well.
It was too much, we could not eat it all - only got half
way. The meat and skin was so soft and gelatinous, the
meat was just falling off the bone - you could eat it with
a spoon... and the mash was light and creamy and the
carrots- so sweet and juicy. This is how Pork Hocks should
be! Yummo!
Ingredients:
• 2 fresh pork hocks aka knuckles
• 2 large apples (peeled & cored) roughly chopped
• 2 large brown onions roughly chopped
• 2 Tblsp Sumac (a Middle Eastern spice) - (I got mine
at IGA)
• 2 Tblsp sweet paprika
• 1 Tblsp ground coriander
• 1 Tblsp ground cumin
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1 tsp liquid Smoke (apple wood)
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• ¼ cup raw sugar
• ½ cup apple cider vinegar
• 300ml beer
• 500ml chicken Stock
• 6 large chat potatoes cut in half
• 4 sticks celery roughly chopped
• 3 large carrots roughly chopped
Method:
Pressure Cooker: First brown the hocks in a little oil
and then cook the onions a little. Then put in all the pork
hocks, onions, apple, apple cider vinegar. Add chicken
stock plus all of spices (paprika, cumin, Sumac, coriander,
garlic etc), a little liquid Smoke (apple wood) and beer in
pressure cooker for 25 minutes. After pressure is reached,
de-pressurise. Add celery, carrots and potatoes, reseal
and cook for 12 more minutes. After pressure is reached,
de-pressurise and remove the carrots and potato. Next,
thicken the sauce, roughly mash the spuds with a little
butter, sour cream and milk (not to much). Add a little salt
& pepper to taste and parsley flakes and wow man these
bad boy are to die for!
Oven: As above: First, brown the hocks in a little oil and
then cook the onions. Put in all pork hocks, onions, apple,
apple cider vinegar. Add chicken stock, all spices, a little
liquid Smoke (apple wood) and beer in deep baking pan
(roaster). Cook for about 3 ½ hours at 150C, covered with
foil. Next, add the celery, carrots and potatoes and cook
for 1 hour more. Next, remove the carrots and potato and
thicken the sauce. Roughly mash the spuds with a little
butter, sour cream & milk and add little salt & pepper to
taste and parsley flakes. Serve on the mash with the carrots
beside with the gravy poured over the hock. Followed by
a nice glass of port.
