Standing apart, as one for ANZAC Day.

Tieri residents united for an ANZAC Day unlike any other, paying their respects to veterans by lighting up the dawn with driveway ceremonies. Standing apart, together as they commemorated all those who have served and sacrificed for our country. A sacred day that would normally see locals gather at the War Memorial for the annual ANZAC day ceremony could not be dampened by social distancing. Today, lets honour all past and current servicemen and women and those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice with an ode written by Rupert McCall, OAM as a tribute to our diggers to commemorate the landing of the ANZACs at Gallipoli, entitled ‘100 years from now’

Inviting Tieri to light up the dawn this Anzac Day.

When times are tough, Australians have always relied on the distinctive qualities of mateship, humour, ingenuity, courage and endurance to get us through. Known as the ANZAC Spirit, these five qualities have defined Australians ever since the first troops landed on the beaches of Gallipoli in World War I. Just imagine how special it would be if everyone in Tieri was standing in their driveway at 6am on ANZAC Day, united in spirit to remember all those who have served and sacrificed for the lifestyle we enjoy today.

Peak Downs JRL training & carnivals postponed until 1st June 2020

Amidst all the information and community safety rules regarding the Covid-19 Pandemic, please rest assured that all decisions are made with the health and safety of our players, supporters and staff as our top priority. It is for this reason that, upon advice and directive from QRL (our governing body) we have cancelled all training sessions, carnivals and postponed the commencement of our 2020 season. The situation is changing rapidly with new developments coming to light day to day- however we are confident that we should be cleared to resume all Community League activity on June 1st 2020.

Intelligent mining trials at Oaky Creek

CSIRO engineers have developed a world first "flameproof" 3D laser scanning device that can "see things our eyes cannot" by transmitting a full panoramic view of an underground coal mine in real time. Called the ExScan, the device is set to revolutionise the industry, allowing miners to leave the coal face and manage longwall operations remotely from a control centre above ground. This form of "intelligent mining" is currently being trialled by Glencore at its Oaky Creek mine site.

How to indulge guilt-free this Easter

Staying connected while being physically apart: wellbeing in the time of social distancing.

During the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, we’re asking you to, where possible, avoid contact with people who don’t live in your household. This will prevent the spread of germs; help stop people from getting sick and it will save lives. We expect this to be hard - it’s hard for all of us. But it’s the right thing to do at this time. We also know that feeling socially isolated can impact your mental wellbeing. It can make people feel sad, anxious, lonely and depressed. We want to make sure that during this time, you have ways to stay connected to your family, friends and community, even if you can’t see them in person.
