Memorial Park - Hall, Oval, Rec Shed & Tennis Courts

Memorial Park - Hall, Oval, Rec Shed & Tennis Courts 1930 The building of the Memorial gates at Yungaburra was first proposed by the QCWA and Yungaburra Memorial School of Arts. To hire, contact the Council.

During the 1939-45 war years the QCWA under the leadership of Mrs Close, called a meeting at which it was decided on a lasting memorial to those of the district who served in both WW1 and WW2. From this meeting the Memorial Park was developed and a Trust was established. Firstly, the Memorial Gates were erected and the grounds then laid out. The park has proven a successful sport and recreational

reserve. The returned Soldiers built the Hall for the use of the Community. Over the years, the Tennis Courts, Oval and Rec Shed were added. The Yungaburra Horse and Sports Club built the public toilets and showers and extended the Hall. The Sport and Rec Association and Yungaburra Boxing Gym fundraised money to build the Rec Shed to be an all-purpose area to be used by the community.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CK43LnrlJ58 Australia has a COVID-style emergency law most people have never heard of and it directly affects your right to buy fuel.
The Liquid Fuel Emergency Act 1984 gives the Commonwealth sweeping powers to ration petrol and diesel, redirect supply, commandeer reserves, and even control refinery output. No new legislation needed. It's already on the books.

This week marks 125 years of service from the Australian Army and the Royal Australian Navy.

For 125 years, they have stood ready, on land and at sea - serving our nation with courage, discipline and unwavering commitment. Generations have answered the call, shaping a legacy that continues to endure today.

To honour this historic milestone, we’ve created a special commemorative collection.
Mark 125 years of the Australian Army and Navy with a lasting tribute, designed to be worn, used and remembered.

Today the Government announced it's selling 64 Defence sites across Australia - including Victoria Barracks in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.

We understand the strategic logic. The Defence Strategic Review made clear we need to reorient toward our northern approaches. Proceeds will strengthen bases in Darwin, Townsville, and the Cocos Islands. That makes sense.

But we’re asking the Government to tap the brakes here because once these sites are gone, they’re gone forever.

Veterans right across the country have deep connections to these places.

We've seen what happens when these sales go wrong. Sites left to rot behind locked fences while developers and governments argue for years. Grand plans that never happen.

RSL Australia will be watching this closely. We want to make sure:
▪ Reservists and cadets have somewhere to go BEFORE sites are sold
▪ Heritage protection is real, not just words
▪ Veterans have a say in what happens to places that matter to them

RSL Australia isn't opposed to reform. We're opposed to rushed reform. Let's get this right.

“The RSL stands at a critical juncture for all veterans, but specifically the contemporary cohort from post-Vietnam onwards.

The RSL’s relevance depends on its ability to deliver for contemporary veterans while honouring our heritage.

This requires an honest assessment of what works, what doesn't, and what must change.”
