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 […]

AT times like this, I’m grateful to be part of a small but mighty team. As I write this, I’m preparing to take the school holidays off with my husband Zac, who is a teacher, to go on a family adventure with our little girl. In many jobs – particularly […]

Pride

13/06/2024 Keer Moriarty Comments Off on Pride

June is Pride month. When I was growing up, I didn’t know what being gay was. Seriously, it was not something that was talked about, I literally had no clue until I was probably in the last couple of years of high school. Which is kind of weird because now […]

From the editor – Disconnecting

16/05/2024 Keer Moriarty Comments Off on From the editor – Disconnecting

I went to one of the local supermarkets to do my shopping last week.  I tend to get bits and pieces from where ever, but I do like that place with the random stuff in the middle aisles. It wasn’t until I arrived at the checkout I realised they had […]

Looking forward to being revitalised

18/04/2024 Keer Moriarty Comments Off on Looking forward to being revitalised

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 […]

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 […]
