21.01.2022 Am I local, is a question I am asked on a daily basis. Well yes and no I suppose. I was born in Charleville and grew up in Morven, both in and out of town. I moved to Quilpie in the Channel Country where I worked, married and started a family for 22 years, before returning to Morven 11 years ago. This is a photo of my dear old mum and dad. Jim & Wilma Currie (nee Johnson). My grandparents Bob and Clara Johnson came to Morven in 1928 when they brought Wilmavale. Mum was... born in a little house in Morven in 1941, and she grew then grew up on her parents property. With not many girls on neighboring properties she grew up along side the Curley's on Tregole and the Crichton's on Maryvale. It was fair to say the boys out numbered the girls, but by all accounts the girls could handle themselves in any given situation, which generally meant the boys came out second best from time to time. At 79 mum is now the eldest living person that was actually born in Morven, and is the longest living resident i believe. Dad came out to work with the Turner family on Hillgrove in 1956, although he worked around shearing he has lived in Morven sense then. He spent 25 years on the Rail, and is very excited to see the #morvenrailhub come to live and give Morven some exciting prospects for the further. There has now been 3 generations of Johnson's attend the Morven State School from our side of the family, and hopefully we will get to celebrate a 100 years of family history and connection to Morven in another 8 years time #locals #morven4468 #gidgeesmithbags #gidgeesbushcamp #outbackqueensland #unwindwithwire #liveinthebush See more

18.01.2022 Starting to put a few of my own prints together ready for the festive season. It will be interesting to see how they turn out. We like to keep things interesting here at Gidgee Smith just to make sure we don't get bored #gidgeesmithbags #gidgeesbushcamp #horses #pvcbags #australiamade #buyfromthebush #madeinthebush #womeninbusiness

16.01.2022 First night load from the Morven Rail Hub took place last night, which was another first for the project and Watco Australia. The operation all ran according to plan and cattle loaded smoothly. Michael Tindale-Smith (hubby Mick) has taken on the yard management role for Watco Australia at the rail hub. He seems to have taken to it like a duck to water as I knew he would. It was pretty cool to see him work the cattle in such a quiet and calm manner. Seeing the cattle loaded ...sure did bring back lots of great memories of the 4 years spent hanging out at the rail yards in Quilpie where Mick moonlighted for GPW Spelling loading out cattle from the Channel Country, while I got to chase the kids around on horses trying to keep them out of harms way lol. While I support Mick 100% in this new role all lines of inquiry should be directly to him on 0448600762, as Gidgee Smith staff have nothing to do with the rail hub operation #morvenrailhub #watcoaustralia #gidgeesmith #australianmade #gidgeesbushcamp #gidgeesmithbags #killforacuppa #thinkred #baristacoffee #campgrounds #localknowledge #campingbags #bags #visitmorven #banksofthehamburg #cosmoscentre #outbackqueensland #bigredbash #channelcountry #outbackart #bushcamp #hipcamp #outbacktourism #buyfromthebush #femeconomy See more

09.01.2022 The finished result of Blackall State School and Unwind with Wire project "From little things big things grow", what a proud moment to see this all come together and look so amazing. Well done to the students that have been working so hard behind the scenes getting all those pot plants to flower for the display as well #blackallstateschool #unwindwithwire #blackallflowershow #gidgeesbushcamp #gidgeesmithbags #blackall #bushart

09.01.2022 A little bit of secret women’s business went on here at Gidgee’s Bush Camp over the week end. Lots of new donated beads arrived via an old Morven local and then I spent Saturday and Sunday afternoon with some special big and little people that just needed to get away and get their creative thing on. 1 chook, 9 lanterns,3 balls and 1 can done and dusted. Great coffee, wine and company. Some times in live the greatest gifts you can give someone is love, time and hope. Got yo...ur back team O just let your creative juices flow #unwindwithwire #ruok #gidgeesbushcamp #gidgeesmithbags #killforacuppa #thinkred #coffeestop #campgrounds #localknowledge #gidgeesmithbags #pvcbags #campingbags #australianmadebags #bags #visitmorven #murweh #cosmoscentre #visitaustralia #visittheoutback #outbackqueensland #visitqueensland #bigredbash #channelcountry #outbackart #travellingaustralia #bushcamping #mulgalands #outbacktourism #yearoftheoutback # See more

01.01.2022 Here we go thankful Thursday. We hosted these lovely ladies representing an amazing charity called #givit during the week. One person may have an item they don’t want any more and it is given via this charity to someone that needs it. Thanks to these ladies the Morven community now has 10 boxes of glass to use at community functions in the future. So if you are needing glasses for an even just let me know. We are also trying to line up some tools for a men’s shed so if a...nyone is able to help with that let me know #gidgeesbushcamp #gidgeesmithbags #killforacuppa #thinkred #coffeestop #campgrounds #localknowledge #gidgeesmithbags #pvcbags #campingbags #australianmadebags #bags #visitmorven #murweh #cosmoscentre #visitaustralia #visittheoutback #outbackqueensland #visitqueensland #bigredbash #channelcountry #outbackart #travellingaustralia #bushcamping #mulgalands #outbacktourism #yearoftheoutback # See more
