In 1977 a committee of about 30 people was formed to arrange a celebration of the centenary of selection on the Strathbogie Tableland. It was thought a book about the last 100 years was also appropriate. After much research by a sub committee and with the help of Cliff Halsall, a wonderful history book was put together. At the last meeting of the 1977 committee it was written in the minutes that the group should meet every five years and update the history, but time slipped by and the next meeting didn’t occur until 2005. In this year a new committee of about fifteen people, which included three of the original committee, was formed and work began on the last thirty years of Strathbogie history. Many changes have taken place – the area was known for its very superior fine wool, but over time many of the sheep have been replaced by vineyards and other activities. Once what were family holdings have been subdivided into smaller lots. Families have moved on and new families have come. The store has changed hands many times after 47 ½ years of Mr and Mrs Ambrose Levey’s ownership. The golf club has moved and what a story attached to that job. A devasting bush fire did much damage, personal accounts are told. Some groups have gone into recess while others have begun. The premiership football team and the many cricket and tennis teams are a credit to the district. New roads and new bridges have replaced the old ones meant for horse and cart, so now, instead of the railway line that was lobbied for over many years, semi trailers take farmers produce to town with relative ease. The book is 112 pages with lots of photos – have you ever seen Polly McQuinn’s in flood? ***** WORLD WAR ONE & TWO ROLLS ***** ~~~~~ STRATHBOGIE NORTH-EAST STATE SCHOOL HONOUR ROLL ~~~~~ BRIERLEY R CHARLTON F * CROSBIE J CROSBIE John CROSBIE R CROSBIE Rupert CURRAN J CURRAN R HAYES H HUTCHINSON H HUTCHINSON P * JACKA A JEFFERS G * JEFFERS R * JEFFERS Ralph JEFFERS W * MALLETT W McCOOMBE G McCOOMBE G McCOOMBE R McCOOMBE R SPENCER E * TAYLOR C TAYLOR E TAYLOR Edward VROLAND H * ~~~~~ STRATHBOGIE WEST STATE SCHOOL HONOUR ROLL ~~~~~ ATKINSON A BROUGHTON L CRAIG R * CRAVEN A DASH Percy * DELAHEY J DELAHEY J DELAHEY J T DEMPSTER D DONOHUE A J DONOHUE A J EVANS C T EVANS R N GASCOYNE G * GREENE C C deS.
