25.01.2022 A couple of troublemakers enjoying the chocolate at this mornings meeting!

25.01.2022 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.

20.01.2022 CWA Early Beginnings The tyranny of distance: it’s a concept Queensland woman have always understood. In the 1920’s, places we now deem remote were often truly ...isolated. Against this backdrop, the QCWA began to emerge providing a window of relief from the loneliness, offering friendship, support and connection. Ruth Beatrice Fairfax set about building a collegiate, focussed and resilient organisation when she was appointed founding President in 1922. Ruth’s personal commitment and travel throughout the state lead to the creation of 283 Branches with 13,000 members by 1928. While Branch meetings would be a forum for exchanging ideas, and recipes, it is perhaps the tea and scones served at Brisbane’s EKKA that would help embellish this iconic association. First appearing at the EKKA in 1924, the period preceded one of immense national angst. In the latter decades, much of QCWA’s work focused on assisting drought affected and flood affected women and their families. Members worked tirelessly on the ground, raising millions of dollars for direct practical assistance, such as providing grocery store vouchers and credit with essential suppliers, or paying household bills. No cash payments were made. By helping in this way, not only is the recipient assisted, the money stays in the local community extending the benefit. Motivated by knowledge sharing, as the interests of members expanded, several topic-based state committees emerged to run competitions in cooking, craft, art, photography and public speaking. The deep connection and sense of belonging, the friendships and the working together for common good, clearly resonated with women then, as it does now. Distances are still great but the linkages through QCWA are strong. .. .. #royalicingcookies #qcwa #cwa #countrywomensassociation #countrywomensassociationqld #barcaldineqld #ruthfairfax

16.01.2022 It seems that a lot of our followers wanted the recipe to these magnificent Cinnamon Scroll Biscuits, so here it is: 125g unsalted butter, chopped 2/3 cup brown... sugar 1 egg 1/4 cup currants 1 1/3 cups plain flour 1/3 cup self raising flour 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg 3/4 cup white choc melts Pink food colouring 1. Preheat oven to 180’c and line baking trays. 2. Beat butter and sugar in an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Best in egg until combined. 3. Add currents and combined sifted flours, and spices. Mix until mixture forms a soft dough. 4. Roll level tablespoons of dough into balls. Place 5cm apart on a tray and flatten into rounds. 5. Using small cutters, press lightly into rounds to create a scroll pattern. 6. Bake for approximately 8-10 minutes until golden. Leave on tray for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. 7. Melt white chocolate and add 2-3 drops of food colouring. 8. Spoon the chocolate onto the centre of each biscuit and leave to set. 9. Try not to eat them all at once! If you make the biscuits, we’d love to see them!

14.01.2022 99 year-old "Scone Queen" rewarded Bundaberg's Dorothy Collishaw has finally been handed the apron she deserves, it only took her nearly 100 years to receive ...it.

The baker's daughter grew up in Maryborough and can still bash out a a jumping scone like you have never tasted. Would you like Dorothy's recipe?

02.01.2022 While we acknowledge the loss and heartbreak of those affected in the bushfire crisis, there is something happening in Outback Australia. Its not a bushfire bu...t its just as devastating. Drought is responsible for more human, livestock and native animals losses than bushfires but we suffer silently and give generously to those in need. Drought cant be fought by our heroic CFS. It can only be relinquished when Mother Nature decides. We have our homes, but that is all. Our paddocks are bare and our hearts are broken. We spend more money feeding our stock than they make us because we love them. We dont and wont have farm incomes for many years to come. We are your farmers. #dontforgetaboutthedrought See more
