Railway strengthens coal mine prospectsWESTERN Australian company
East Energy Resources Ltd welcomed the announcement this week that Hancock Prospecting Ltd will build a railway line from Jericho to a new private port at Abbot’s Point on the east coast.
As part of the development of its thermal coal operation in central Queensland’s Galilee Basin, Hancock Prospecting Limited will construct a new 510km railway line, as the existing line can only hold 7 of the required 22 tonnes of coal per wagon.
East Energy Chairman and Managing Director Mark Basso said that the announcement was very good news as the construction of port and rail facilities is critical to the success of the Blackall coal project, located 58 kilometres south of the township.
“The proposed construction of privately owned rail and port infrastructure is excellent news for…exploration companies in the area.”
“If Hancock were to fall over,
it would be safe to say that the Blackall project would fall over too.”
Mr Basso and Blackall Site Manager Doug Mitchell said that given the increase in predicted tonnage at the Blackall coal site and the proposed Hancock railway line to Jericho, the originally planned haul road between Blackall and Jericho looks set to become an extension of this new railway line.
Although large areas remain to be evaluated and the northern half of the Blackall coal tenement is yet to be drilled, the southern half contains a confirmed maiden JORC Inferred resource of 1.2 billion tonnes of thermal coal; double its previously announced resource target of approximately 500 – 550 million tonnes.
“We are very pleased with the resource that has been confirmed, particularly as it is over 200% higher than our expectations,” Mr Basso said.
“The [Blackall] mine is absolutely
viable,” Doug Mitchell said this week.
“In two or three years there will be massive employment opportunities in Blackall.”
To classify the coal resource to its second stage, a JORC indicated resource, will require drilling 200 more holes in the southern half of the tenement.
East Energy expects to conduct this early next year and is confident that they will obtain the mining development lease from the government following the successful completion of the third stage, a JORC measured resource. Evolution Exploration
Blackall-based company Evolution Exploration has stationed a drilling rig and support vehicles in Blackall, with another on the way.
These substantial pieces of equipment made by Brisbane company Sandvik, have been hired out to East Energy Resources for drilling at

Meetings held in both Blackall and Tambo for a SWOT Analyses (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats) of tourism in the Blackall Tambo region were attended by those interested in the creation of the Blackall Tambo Regional Council tourism plan which will take us on into the future, ensuring a structured approach to offering the visitors to our area the very best tourism experience we can possibly offer! We want to make sure they return time and time again.
A meeting in Isisford of representatives of the department of Transport and Main Roads, Barcaldine Regional Council, Barcoo Shire, Longreach Regional Council and Blackall Tambo Regional Council discussed the progress made over the first four years of the Jericho to Yaraka road project and the necessity to plan for the progress of the work for the next six years of the project. Everyone agreed on the necessity to begin a campaign to ensure adequate funding is forthcoming to complete the entire project recognizing a significant shortfall in the railway funding. It proved to be a very interesting meeting for Manager of Works Paul Martin and myself, meeting all parties in this collaborative arrangement which will benefit our entire region.
Congratulations to the Blackall Magpies on their wonderful win on Saturday evening. I am sure it was a fun night all round.
Another winner in the Blackall Tambo Region was Tidy Towns’ Young Legends State Award winner Ronan Robinson! I was delighted to be able to accept the award on Ronan’s behalf at the Tidy Towns State Awards presentation dinner here in Brisbane during the time of the Local Government Association of Queensland State Conference. I was also able to accept a thirty year certificate of participation in the Tidy Towns competition on behalf of Tambo. Hard to believe that the awards have been going for so long bringing a great sense of community pride to our entire state.
The Local Government State Conference has proved to be an interesting one for the Blackall Tambo Regional Councilors attending, Deputy Mayor Peter Skewes and Councilor Sally Cripps, with six resolutions in the conference agenda. All were successfully endorsed by the delegates voting on the issues presented. Guest speakers from the city of Toronto in Canada and Thames Coromandel District Council, New Zealand, both female, presented the most interesting addresses on the solutions they have implemented to negate the problems of waste management and climate change. It has been great to catch up with many friends and associates in local government statewide.

Association
Notice of Annual General Meeting
5th September 2009Commencing at 10.00am
Blackall Multipurpose Sport and Rec Centre
All interested families are encouraged to attend to ensure a successful 2009/10 season.
WOOROOLAH rural fire brigade first officer Garry Hauff says every farmer should be prepared for this summer’s bushfire season by creating an electronic property map.
“This year is going to be a problem for us,” Mr Hauff said.
“Thank goodness we don’t have the hazards around us like in Victoria – most houses have clear land around them.
“But I have still been on everyone to give me a map of their property.”
Mr Hauff made this suggestion at a free property computer mapping workshop run by AgForce Projects through funding from the Australian Government’s Caring for our Country at Blackall last week.
Mr Hauff has been with the Wooroolah rural fire brigade for 20 years. He said the approaching fire season is shaping up to be one of the worst he has seen; with a build-up of vegetation combined with an early, hot start to summer.
“If I’m in charge of a fire, I have to have a map showing where I can get water and where tracks are,” Mr Hauff said.
“Knowing where the flush valves are in irrigation lines is handy too because you know where you can go to fill up your truck. One thousand litres doesn’t take long to go through.”
AgForce Projects spatial project officers showed the 16 attendees at the Blackall workshop how to create a property map with an emergency management plan layer.
It also went through how to create a grazing land management plan and map and record a property’s infrastructure, vegetation and water points.
Blackall cattle grazier Bruce Alexander of Warringah marvelled at how easy and inexpensive mapping software and GPS devices have become.
“Just like a new car, they have more features now,” Mr Alexander said.
“I went around years ago with a GPS worth about $20,000 and now with this new mapping I should be able to put the coordinates to use better.”
Free upcoming workshops in the Blackall region are being held at Alpha next month on Tuesday, September 8; Barcaldine on
Wednesday, September 9; and Aramac on Thursday, September 10.
Workshops are open to all producers. Places are limited and participants should register by calling 3238 6039 or emailing [email protected].
Rural fire-fighters say property maps will help this bushfire season
Garry Hauff (right) and his son Geoff and daughter-in-law Kylie stressed the importance of a property map to prepare for the bushfire season at a workshop in Blackall last week.
THIS year marks the 100th anniversary of the death of Mary MacKillop; foundress of the Sisters of St Joseph who established schools in Augathella, Tambo and Blackall. Two Sisters of St Joseph from Quilpie, Sr Anne Hoey and Sr Margaret Andersen, visited these communities to retell the Mary MacKillop story.
As the parishes of Augathella and Tambo and their priests, Fr Peter Doohan and Fr Matthew Moloney, gathered to celebrate Eucharist, the Sisters retold the story and the Josephite connection with the communities.
In Blackall the Sisters were welcomed by Principal Tim Franzmann, students and staff of St Joseph’s school. With story, song and prayer they retold the story led by Sr Margaret, who had taught at St Joseph’s in 1986. Gathered in the Mary MacKillop room of St Joseph’s school, parishioners and the school community also recalled the place that the school has in the Josephite story along the Barcoo.

BLACKALL walked away with around 21 medals from the Sunset Carnival in Longreach last weekend. All students from Blackall’s St Joseph’s and the Blackall State School gave it their best shot at the carnival with temperatures reaching 37 degrees and competing against children who are training on a regular basis.
Rana Smith competed in the boys 11 years events with medals for first in the 100 metres and 200 metres. In his heats on Saturday he blitzed the field with very good performances. Rana was selected to run in the handicapped event with runners who were placed first in their age groups. With some runners starting at 100 metres and others at 80 metres, Rana was leading the race with 30 metres to go when the back markers caught him and he finished in sixth place. Rana was also selected in the North West team and will compete in Brisbane later this year.
Sophie Negus competed in the girls 10 year events, placing second in the 100 metre, 200 metre and 800 metre events. In the 100m Sophie was beaten by just half a second and by just
three quarters of a second in the other two events.
Bonnie Lawrence competed in the girls 18 years 8oo metre event and ran well to place second. Bonnie also finished third in the 200 metre and 100 metre events, coming home strong in the last 50 metres of all her events.
Dylan Dolinski competed in the boys 16 years discus to place first with a throw of 35.960 metres. He also threw 11.660 metres in the shotput to take out second place. After being unable to reach these distances all week, to finish with two medals was a good reward for Dylan who gave it everything on the day.
Sam Fletcher placed third in the 100 metre event and third in the long jump and shotput for boys 10 years. He had some tough competition but did his school and Blackall proud.
Will Butler jumped to first place in the long jump, second in high jump and second in the 100 metre and 200 metre sprints for boys 12 years. Will was unlucky in his sprints, only missing out on first place by around half a second.
Cholette Smith placed third in the girls 15 years shotput, waiting
around all day on Saturday to compete in the 37 degree heat.
Andrew Davison competed in the boys 11 years shotput on Sunday morning.
Kate Baillie finished a close fourth in the girls 11 years 100 metre final on Saturday afternoon just missing out on a medal.
Also competing over the weekend was Kyle McPaul in the triple jump where he placed third and picked up a third in the 100 metre and unplaced in the 200 metre event.

Letter to the EditorBlackall, please take note. There
is a young man in this town, raised by a single mum, who has beaten all schools in the Central West in his division of athletics.
As a runner of 100 metres and 200 metres, he is the first to be chosen from Blackall in the last 10 years.
As I have stated before, he comes from a single parent family and needs Blackall’s support. There is an account opened at the Commonwealth Bank in the name of Terana Smith. Get behind him Blackall; the boy wants to run in the Olympics. That is his one wish. Get behind him.

“She got it right.”

the prize in gold bullion.He said he planned to spend
some of the winnings on a caravan so he and his wife could tour around Australia.
Deaf Services Queensland uses the proceeds of the lottery to help deaf community members to live sustainable lifestyles and to assist the hearing community to learn about sign language and deaf culture.

THE much anticipated rugby league match between the Blackall Magpies and Tambo Eagles was played last Saturday evening before a large crowd of supporters in mild conditions at the Blackall showgrounds.

Further tries to Blackall were scored by Matt Wemyss, Beau Frame, Matt McLane (3), Jeremy Barron, Shaun Lindenburg, Guy Elliot and Tutu Ratima. Matt McLane landed a further six conversions to take the final tally to 54 points.
