A FULLY stocked wall-to-wall solid timber bookcase with an amazing back-story could easily have come home with me from Ian Duff’s second-hand furniture shop. “This would fit in your house I reckon, Suze,” he bantered as we wrapped up our interview about his impending retirement. I would’ve bought it in […]

THERE is something inspiring about people who just make things happen. As the saying goes, ‘If it is to be, it is up to me.’ We have many of those people in Beaudesert, including those who tirelessly advocate on issues, steadfast volunteers and people who serve the community through all […]

WHEN I look at this edition of the Beaudesert Bulletin, I can see why I had a major case of FOMO (fear of missing out) being away during NAIDOC. For as long as I can remember, Mununjali NAIDOC Day in Jubilee Park has been a significant event on Beaudesert’s social […]

Work is well underway on the Beaudesert Town Centre Revitalisation program. Quite frankly I’m excited about this, really excited. I know there are a number of people who have been a bit negative about the revitalisation plans, mainly whether or not we need a new library and where it should […]

This is our last edition for 2023 – we will miss one edition over Christmas / New Year and be back again on 12 January. As often happens at the end of the year, it seems time for a bit of reflection on the year that was. It has been […]

From the Editor

In the midst of the referendum, in fact the day after, I organised to have lunch with my kids at a cafe in Brisbane – the Corgi Garden Cafe. I didn’t know it when I booked, but it was exactly what I needed. I found the lead up to the referendum stressful. I’m […]

Did you check? The blue flags and bunting are down and the Beaudesert Bulletin is back to our red and black after supporting ‘Turning Beaudesert Blue’ in September. But the reason for this event doesn’t go away. Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australia, and it is […]
