Council committed to Fireclay Caverns Reopening
Rockhampton Regional Council has this morning reiterated its unwavering commitment towards reopening the Fireclay Caverns in Mount Morgan.
Councillors at today’s meeting resolved not to proceed with the compulsory acquisition of the native title but Mayor Tony Williams reassured the local community that Council was still committed to the project and would look for other avenues to progress it.
“Today’s decision is a clear sign we remain committed to seeing this incredible tourism and historical experience brought back to life but we want to do it the right way and the compulsory acquisition of native title isn’t that way,” Mayor Williams said.

Nurse’s dedication to seniors inspires
When it comes to caring for the elderly, the dedication of Esther Arulogun takes some topping.
The Carinity Colthup Manor aged care community Registered Nurse has been recognised with a service award for her 36 years’ faithful service – a milestone achieved while using only a handful of sick days.

Esther was inspired to care for the sick and elderly in Ipswich after being hospitalised numerous times as a child.
“I was always a sick child, so I wanted to become a nurse to look after sick people. I feel it is very meaningful to help the elderly,” Esther says.
