Bealiba and Beyond

Big cheers to the Bealiba Country Women’s Association, who’ve just notched up a massive 90 years of serving the community – and they marked it in true CWA style! 👵🏻

The milestone celebration had it all: a fashion parade showing off clothing from across the decades, a special cake cutting by the oldest and youngest members side by side, and of course, a good old-fashioned afternoon tea that brought everyone together. 👗

Ninety years is no small feat, and it speaks to the heart, dedication and spirit of the women who’ve kept the association thriving through the generations. Congrats to all involved – here’s to many more years of community, connection and cake! 🎂

A group of 35 university students from Sydney recently rolled up their sleeves in Bealiba, spending a couple of days volunteering and leaving the place looking better than ever! ✨

Among their efforts was a tidy-up of the much-loved Evans' graves at the local cemetery – and the result speaks for itself. The site’s looking fresh, cared-for, and full of respect for the history it holds! 🪦

Big thanks to this awesome crew for lending their time and energy to a little country town that truly appreciated it! 🙏🏻

How good does do the Evans’ graves look!

Good to see some love finally going into the old nugget spot! The Welcome Stranger Monument in Moliagul – marking the site of the biggest alluvial gold find in history – is getting a bit of a tidy-up! ✨

A group of uni students from Sydney have been getting their hands dirty in Bealiba – lending a hand with some much-needed fence painting at the local Cemetery! 🪦

Great to see young folks from the city rolling up their sleeves and chipping in for a bit of country care. The old fence is certainly lookin’ sharper now! 🎨

16-year-old farm kid Thomas from Bealiba always had a knack for fixing stuff – but he had no idea the Central Goldfields Shire Council Depot had its own big ol’ machinery workshop.

Lucky for him, his careers advisor at MEC pointed him in the right direction, lining him up for a week of work experience with the Council's Operations crew – mainly shadowing Andy, the go-to grease monkey on site.

Now Thomas is elbows-deep in all sorts of gear, from lawn mowers to road graders, and he’s loving it. He’s even thinking Council work might just be the gig for him down the track. Good on ya, mate!

Fantastic to see Annis & George Bills' iconic horse trough in Bealiba finally being restored! 🐴 The trough has been a landmark in the area for years, and its restoration ensures that future generations can appreciate its significance.
