Community

From photos to hand-written accounts, Mater Private Hospital Bundaberg has uncovered a "treasure trove" of historic records just in time for its 75th anniversary and has invited the community to donate memorabilia to a display to mark the occasion.

Local tradespeople with skills more common in years gone by will showcase their talent as part of this month's Childers Festival, including blacksmith Lachie McConnel.

The community is invited aboard the Bundaberg Model Railway Club’s open day to check out miniature locomotives in action.

A mural has been proposed by the Childers Chamber of Commerce for a prominent piece of infrastructure which towers over the Childers CBD.

Senior Constable Mark Cartner has recently returned from a trip to Cape York with students from around the region as part of his Walk of Life Program.

Roving stilt walkers, live music and plenty of dancing and fun will be happening in Childers next Saturday when the community comes together for the Crescent Street Family Festival.
