21.01.2022 What a morning: speaking at the Country Women's Association event to 300 engaged and inspiring women. I loved seeing how active they are with social media! Thes...e ladies are an inspiration and work so hard for their community. The work they do is pivotal in advocating for so many important issues and creating serious positive change. It's not all about scones and knitting. These women see a problem, work as a community to strategize ways to fix it, then they take it to parliament. Amazing. I want to join now! Thanks for having me @countrykitchens @cwa and for the fab pic @coultonscountry See more

17.01.2022 On this day in 1922, the first meeting of the Queensland Country Women's Association was held in Toowoomba’s Town Hall. The QCWA’s newly elected and founding Pr...esident, Mrs Ruth Fairfax, spoke of the great force for good such an organisation might become. Its objects, first and last, were to benefit the women in the country, particularly those out back. Showing particular support for the formation of the organisation was the then Governor of Queensland, Sir Matthew Nathan, whose plan for the QCWA to establish districts within each shire in the state was unanimously adopted by those attending the meeting. The month before, Sir Nathan had attended and addressed the open conference that endorsed the organisation’s establishment. Sir Nathan was more than just first Patron and passive supporter. Whenever he travelled throughout rural areas in the State, he encouraged women to form a local branch of the organisation and supplied them with written information. He performed many stump-capping ceremonies for the QCWA symbolically placing a galvanized iron cap over one of the stumps upon which a new hostel or meeting room might rest. In June 1923, when Sir Nathan addressed a branch meeting in Charters Towers, he said: The Country Women’s Association is an organisation for cooperation for the country women to meet together and settle together what can be done by themselves, by their well wishers, by the Local Authorities and by the Governments both State and Federal, to improve the conditions under which they live to make life, if not easier, at any rate to contain a greater measure of healthy enjoyment. By 1928 there were 283 Branches and 13,000 members state-wide, helping to connect women across vast distances; offering friendship, and support to those in regional communities. Mrs Kaye de Jersey, wife of current Governor, Paul de Jersey, continues this long tradition of vice-regal patronage established by Sir Nathan. Images courtesy of the State Library of Queensland.
