22.01.2022 Can you help? We are seeking descendants of Anton Zerbe or his wife Emma Amelia nee Knippe. Anton has an un-marked grave in Calliope Cemetery. Anton and Emma were survived by 7 children. Anton also had a brother named Martin. A researcher is trying to acquire a free bronze memorial plaque for Anton who served during the American Civil War. The American Veterans Association would also like descendants to be aware that they can obtain free parchment "Presidential Certificates"... signed by the President of the United States and bearing his gold seal, to honour Anton's military service. A descendants request is needed to obtain the brass plaque. Please send us a private message or email [email protected]

The 59 men listed on the Honour Board had a connection to Maryborough and the surrounding area through family, education or residence. An open invitation is extended to family members and the local community to join us for an unveiling ceremony of these Roll of Honour Boards on Thursday 26 November 2020 at 11am at our Museum, 108 Bazaar Street, Maryborough.

05.01.2022 Feedback sought on adding baby clinic building to Local Heritage Register The Fraser Coast Regional Council is calling for feedback on a proposal to place the f...ormer Maryborough Baby Clinic on the Fraser Coast Local Heritage Register. The single-storey building on the corner of Kent and Lennox streets was built around 1923-1924 as part of a government scheme to cut infant deaths. Thousands of babies would have passed through the building over the years, George Seymour - Fraser Coast Mayor said. Its simple, yet elegant style, forms part of the streetscape of Kent Street and the historic atmosphere of the CBD. The Queensland Heritage Council is also considering listing the building on the state heritage register. In its submission to the Queensland Heritage Council, the Heritage Unit of the Department of Environment and Science described the building as important in demonstrating Queensland’s response to the movement to reduce infant mortality and improve maternal health during the 1920s. The report also recognised the building’s aesthetic significance through the skilful use of Neo-Georgian architectural stylistic features, symmetrical composition, open central porch with columns, hip roof with flèche, the building is an attractive, well-composed design. While Council bought the building this year as part of its plans to redevelop the site of the former Council Kent Street administration centre and toy library, the future use of the building has not been decided. The building would need significant work to bring it up to useable standard. Works proposed to bring the building to a useable standard could include demolishing an addition to the back of the building and non-functional kitchen, reconfiguring to possibly allow connection to a new development and disability access, flooring upgrades, air conditioning and adding an accessible toilet. Feedback closes on January 4, 2021 and can be made through the Have Your Say page on the Council website https://www.frasercoast.qld.gov.au/have-your-say

01.01.2022 The surfo-plane, a little like an inflatable boogieboard, hit the East coast in the 1930s and could be rented by the half hour. It made riding waves more access...ible for Australians everywhere, including these five snapped in 1934 in Coolangatta. Can you imagine trying to swim in all that gear?
