19.01.2022 Just an update for any who hear about an Emergency Declaration regarding a fire near Lowood. Glengarry is in the exclusion zone as declared at 4.45pm today. However the fire is in the area of Patricks Estate which is quite a way from Glengarry. We are monitoring the situation.

19.01.2022 These photos were taken during the PA Camp January 2017

19.01.2022 The meaning of the Glengarry logo. Many people have asked what the logo represents. Please read the following which will explain the concepts: The Glengarry logo attempts to touch on the different experiences of a camp at the Glengarry Education Centre. Essentially the logo shows four experiences of the Glengarry Education Centre, with a cross at the centre.... The top left area depicts the lake or dam; the bottom left depicts the mountains and open areas; the top right suggests fellowship; and the bottom right suggest both physical activities (eg bike tracks) and spiritual pathways. All are encompassed in a circle, with no beginning or end. The two left areas deal with the physical environment, while the right areas deal with the ministry aspects of the Glengarry Education Centre. The logo includes both the illustrational part and the text part (ie the illustrational part will never be seen just by itself). The actual designs in each part of the circle are intended to be open to interpretation and therefore personalised as it is unlikely that people will recognise what each area design means (or the squiggly lines). The main message still remains of various parts (be it activities, themes or locations) making up the whole.

17.01.2022 Day two has beeen completed and what a big day it was. After completing preparation of the courts area we had six loads of road base arrive and these were spread and levelled. Tomorrow will be three truck loads of crusher dust as well we will have other works being completed. Big days for all involved.

17.01.2022 The Final Phase of the ball court build commenced last Wednesday. This phase involved painting the surface, installing all the equipment, and fitting gates. Wednesday saw the courts washed, Thursday saw the first coat for the playing area and Friday was second coat and first on the outer areas. Also the basketball towers were commenced. Next week will see the second coat and linemarking, completing the install of equipment and installing the gates. Now it all starts to change.

16.01.2022 To all our wonderful clients and supporters, we wish you a happy new year and a great 2017.

16.01.2022 The build continues. After a cold 2 deg start the line marking has commenced with still more to come. The plan is to finish this week. We had a visit today from our Federal member, Shayne Neumann MP. He was very impressed with the changes since his last visit.

16.01.2022 Saturday was the celebration of 25 years since the sod was turned at Glengarry on Sunday 28 August 1994. This event was the start of what has become the hidden gem of The Boys' Brigade Qld. We were very honoured to have present for this celebration the former Mayor of the Council of the Shire of Esk, Mrs Jean Bray, who performed the original turning in 1994, the current Mayor of Somerset Regional Council, Cr Graeme Lehmann and Mr Bruce Paterson, the former Executive Chairma...n, The Boys' Brigade Qld and the current President of The Boys' Brigade Qld, Mr Gordon Wallace. Also on Saturday we had the launch of the book about The Construction Of Glengarry which was written and produced by Ross Rippingale who was the Principla Project Cordinator and builder for this project. A graet day and thanks to all who made it such a memorable time. Please have a look at the original Dedication Programme from 1994. See more
