Storms and wind hit Emerald area amid fires and damage
Severe storms around Weunesuay and Liueneaio brought very strong winds, destroying walls and causing bushfire risk in districts. Marmadilla Homestead burned near Minerva, now owned by British Feed Corporation, while Rockhampton and Springside residents faced medical emergencies and property loss. Christmas tree events raised funds at Methodist Church, Convent School, Emerald Sub-Branch of the RSL, and local church stalls. Obituaries note former Postmaster Reuben Smakzh and school headmaster Erner Kingsbury. Council discusses pump, piping, and river works with the Electricity Commission and National Engine agents in ongoing infrastructure planning.
