 These
Guides were practising their "sour" faces - obviously some of them
found it more difficult than others!These "more mature" girls will all be about 25 now, let's hope most
of them can return for the re-union, or at least join "Tieri
Talks" and tell us what you're up to!
Rumour has it that these girls managed to lose themselves between the Guide Hut and the Capella road! It's NOT just a rumour!
Thanks to Gaye McPhee for these 3 excellent historical photos, and the accompanying unedited descriptions!
"The first initiation ceremony held at Tieri. Of course it has Peter Mcphee in it but shows the leaders to advantage - Heather Sampson, Graham Watson, Roy Mcphee and Terry Brown. I cant remember where the ceremony took place but feel it was at the old mess in the construction site. This building later was transported to the land in town and is now part of the guide hut..... i think!? - Gaye McPhee"
"This is Peter McPhee's intiation form cubs to scouts and took place ?1987 at the lilly vale waterhole.from my fast fading memories i can remember a family day there, possibly tied to an australia day activity for the townspoeple and gregory employees...but i digress!.... leaders are jim baxter, kel o’sullivan, ?, and roddy. i am quite sure the boy to the left rear is matthew bruce then lachlan fergy. the boys wit their backs to the photo i feel sure are wally dries and a waterhouse boy and a nicholas boy... god how the memory fades! hope you find them fun... pardon the typing... i am in a terrible hurry. regards to whoever i am sedning these to - gaye mcphee"
"This group photo is, I believe the first gathering of the newly uniformed and initiated cub scouts. leaders from left of picture are terry brown, roy mcphee, ?, ?peter brady,roddy "speedy" gonzales,?jim baxter, graham watson and heather sampson. lots of smiling tiny faces would now be grown men and i can recognise peter mcphee (of course),lachlan ferguson, zac park, matthew bruce,wally dries, at least one of the waterhouse boys ?peter, kelly nissan and others whose names escape me but they will hit me at 3 oclokc one morning!! the original is of bad quality as it seems to be degrading but hope it may be of interest.- gaye mcphee"
The Brownies and Guides of the early '80's (& their parents) will all remember Mrs Squiggle! She could be found at most of the Brownie functions, and many other functions around town! Mrs Squiggle has received a special invitation to our Reunion, and says she would be delighted to come (if she can find her nose!). Back to Top
Remember this ....?? The construction of the Tieri Guide Hut was a major achievement by the Tieri Girl Guides Local Association in 1984/1985.
This was achieved by our team of miners, mining engineers, accountants, tradesmen, plus a team of willing workers. And yes, some builders who really DID know what they were doing! Plus 2 Local Association "supervisors" who sat on a log and watched (prayed!). Do you remember, Rhonda!!
And finally, COMPLETION! The Guide Hut was officially opened on Founders Day February 22 1985.

In the 1980's the Guides major source of revenue was the Tieri Arts & Crafts Show, held every year at the Civic Centre. We had exhibitors from all over the Central Highlands, plus Brisbane and further afield. Back to Top
There were lots of tired eyes, but unfortunately the weather didn't co-operate and only the lucky few (who refused to go to bed!) saw a glimpse through the clouds. But some of these (little!) girls might get a second chance in 2056! |

look at the photo and I think I've done well to come up with the following names
(please forgive me if I've got some wrong, you could send in your ideas).
Anyway, here goes:
The
first major step was to de-construct the 
Next
Step was laying the foundations - who says women shouldn't be allowed on a
Building site?
The

"Comet Watching" Camp.
