22.01.2022 SAVE THE DATE for an evening of classical music under the stars. The year of Beethoven ends with his mighty ‘Emperor’ Concerto, one of the most stirring and mov...ing musical experiences for piano and orchestra, and we’re bringing this live concert experience directly to Quilpie in Outback Queensland. Livestreamed directly from QPAC’s acoustically superb Concert Hall, Beethoven’s Emperor will be performed by Australian pianist Daniel de Borah, described by The Canberra Times as ‘without doubt one of the finest pianists in the country.’ To finish Queensland Symphony Orchestra’s final concert of 2020, the Orchestra takes on the triumphant and glorious Pines of Rome composed by one of the most recorded composers of the twentieth century, Ottorino Respighi. It is a free event, but bar will be operating (no BYO alcohol) People welcome to bring nibbles! #visitquilpieshire #outbackqueensland #thisisqueensland #seeaustralia #thelakequilpie #beethoven #qpac #orchestra #classicalmusic #queenslandsymphonyorchestra #qsorchestra Queensland Symphony Orchestra

09.01.2022 UPDATE: PLANNED OUTAGE CANCELLED The word from the Bureau of Meteorology is that it's going to be an absolute stinker with heat wave conditions like...ly to sweep through the South West this weekend. We've listened to our customers and stakeholders and won't be doing this job this weekend so everyone - including our crews - can do their best to keep their cool. We'll give plenty of notice when we reschedule for it to be done. *** Earlier advice (pre-cancellation) ATTN FAR SOUTH WEST: This Sunday, we get to the pointy end of months of essential maintenance, meaning we need to take Charleville substation offline for around three hours. Power will be interrupted from 9am Sunday to all customers in and around Charleville, Cunnamulla, Augathella, Eulo, Thargomindah, Quilpie, Eromanga, Adavale and Cheepie. It’s going to be a scorcher and we know it’s tough to be without power; however, this is important work that we simply can’t do ‘live’. Our local crews like Mathew Armstrong and Damian Watts (pictured), plus the specialist substation team heading out from Toowoomba, will get this safely done as quickly as possible, so we can all get out of the heat. We posted notifications to affected customers a few weeks ago, and a big thanks everyone for your understanding and patience.
