Queensland wakes up to new face mask restrictions

This morning Tieri, like the rest of Queensland, is waking up to compulsory mask wearing. The Queensland Health authorities imposed the restriction across Queensland at 5pm yesterday (March 29), as Greater Brisbane commenced a three day lock down due to a growing COVID-19 cluster. Queenslanders living outside of Greater Brisbane, and who have not been in Greater Brisbane at any time since 20 March, still must carry a face mask at all times when they leave home, unless they have a lawful reason not to.

From the Hustle and Bustle of Tieri to a Rural Cattle Farm, this is Retirement with Kerry Truloff

A photo of Kerry & Cath standing in the front yard of their Tieri home in the warm afternoon sun hangs proudly on Canvas in the Truloff household. A daily reminder of the town they dedicated over 25 years of their life and spirit to – where they created a family-like community and will forever leave a legacy. As Kerry settles into retirement and life takes a slower pace at their cattle station 70km west of Emerald, we sat down to reminisce on life in Tieri and Kerry’s role at Oaky Creek Coal.
