SPRING HARP CONCERT 🪉🎶 // Tickets on sale now!

Spring is just around the corner, and to celebrate the arrival of the most beautiful and bountiful season of the year, harpist, pianist, composer, and singer-songwriter Lissa-Käthe has created a loving tribute featuring three different harps that she will play live in our 108-year-old wooden hall. She says our hall has a warm, rich, natural resonance that will enhance and elevate the already clear, pure sounds of the harp, creating a unique and transportative listening experience. Opportunities to witness the harp played live by a performer of this calibre are rare, so the chance to see three harps played live in one concert is definitely one not to be missed.

📍 Mount Colliery QCWA Hall, 7 Bakers Road, Mount Colliery
📆 Sunday, 6 September 2026
⏰ 2 pm - 4 pm
🎟 Tickets: $20 per person
🍰 Afternoon tea included

Afternoon tea is included in the ticket price because the opportunity to share a cuppa and a moment with friends new and old is one of the reasons why community halls and events like this are so important. We're looking forward to seeing you and swapping stories about the everyday goings-on that are the best things in life in our beautiful part of the world.

We will also be running one of our much-loved Mount Colliery QCWA raffles, so make sure to bring some cash. There are heaps of great prizes to be won!

Last time Lissa-Käthe played for us, tickets sold out in advance, and everyone who was there can attest to what a remarkable experience it was. We hope you can join us for this very special performance. Seating is limited, so please book early to avoid disappointment.

For more information and to purchase tickets, call 0409 870 656 or visit https://events.humanitix.com/spring-harp-concert.

Indulge in an afternoon of sublime music as harpist Lissa-Käthe performs a collection of works on three different harps to welcome the spring.

🎉🎂 Happy 104th Birthday, QCWA! 🎂🎉

Today we celebrate 104 years of the Queensland Country Women's Association.

Since our founding on 11 August 1922, QCWA has been a powerful voice for Queensland women and a steadfast supporter of regional, rural and remote communities.

💙 Some milestones from our remarkable history:

🌻 1922 - QCWA is established to improve conditions and opportunities for women and families living in country Queensland.

🌻 1920s - Branches rapidly spread across the state, creating vital social connections and advocating for better healthcare, education and services.

🌻 1930s & 1940s - Members support communities through the Great Depression and World War II, providing practical assistance, comfort and care.

🌻 Decades of advocacy - QCWA campaigns for improved maternal and child health services, education opportunities, transport, communications and rural healthcare.

🌻 Supporting communities through disasters - From droughts and floods to cyclones and bushfires, QCWA members have continually stepped up to help Queenslanders in times of need.

🌻 Preserving traditions - Generations of members have shared skills through handcraft, cooking, cultural and educational programs that continue to thrive today.

🌻 Looking to the future - QCWA continues to advocate for issues impacting women and communities, including housing affordability, ageing into poverty, health services and community wellbeing.

For 104 years, QCWA members have embodied friendship, service and resilience. From the bush to the beach, our strength has always been our people and our commitment to making a difference.

✨ Thank you to every member, past and present, who has helped shape QCWA's proud history. Happy 104th Birthday QCWA! ✨

Cr Bartley and I recently had the pleasure of attending the Killarney QCWA AGM, and once again I was reminded just how much these remarkable women contribute to their community.

They will be the first to tell you that the QCWA is about so much more than scones, although they do make the best scones known to man.

The Killarney branch is filled with capable, generous and hardworking women who continue to make a genuine difference, often without seeking any recognition for themselves.

Thank you for inviting us along, and congratulations to everyone taking on a role for the year ahead. Our communities are stronger because of organisations like the QCWA and the wonderful people behind them.
