Trees of Knowledge - the overlooked figs of the Mary Valley


For a political party that was born under a special tree, the current Qld Labor government seems to have forgotten it's roots!
 

Prime Minister says "I've swum in the Mary, I know it's a beautiful place"


On Tuesday, 2 November, Prime Minister Kevin Rudd arrived for a health forum at Hervey Bay hospital and he was greeted by a sea of yellow made up of Greater Mary Association members.

He left the vehicle he arrived in and walked over to our group, shook everyone's hand, received a gift of a "Love, Mary" book, a no dam pen and an "I love Mary" mug and strode away.

It was all over in a flash, but one sentence spoken by the Prime Minister left us pondering it's significance. On receiving the gift, his words were "Don't worry, I've swum in the Mary River, I know it's a beautiful place."
