St. Matthew's Church of England, Howard, Queensland

    Historic St Matthew's Church facing closure THE imminent closure of historic St. Matthew's Church and Hall will be a tragic loss, not only to Howard, but the whole Fraser Coast community. By Rosiejay THE imminent closure of historic St. Matthew's Church and Hall will be a tragic loss, not only to Howard, but the whole Fraser Coast community. Located in William Street next to Brooklyn House, it is set on land donated by William Rankin. The Rankin family is well-known for their past political contributions, through Col. Colin Rankin and Dame Annabelle Rankin DBE. Whilst the present congregation of St. Matthew's is small, their dedication and love for their church and its rich history is evident. The peeling paint on this little timber church belies its well-kept interior. Its stained glass windows depicting the Church's namesake, St. Matthew, overlook the altar draped in crisp, white linen, neat rows of wooden pews and gleaming polished plaques bearing the names of long-past parishioners. An aura of warmth pervades, no doubt from the love of many generations who have been a part of this welcoming church. The original church was built in 1883. This church became a hall when it was replaced in 1913 by the current church. During World War 2 the hall was utilised as a field hospital. Today it still serves the community as a meeting place for local group activities. The Parish of Howard was formed in 1891, with St. Matthew's being the only Church of England in the area. In the following years, St. Matthew's curate would make the then long, difficult journey to Pialba to minister to the people there. Nowadays, the situation is reversed, though the journey is much easier. Whilst financial circumstances should be considered, other factors must also be taken into account. As St. Matthew's is an active part of the Howard community, its closure will affect many more than the congregation. The fellowship of the congregation, many of whom come from other communities, will be torn apart and scattered. Irreplaceable history will be lost forever. Can it be saved? St. Matthew's Church and Hall will be taking part in Coalfest this Saturday with free tours of the church, sausage sizzle, floral displays, an art exhibition in the hall, and much more.

    In large it looks like they both have a net each. The boy on the left is holding the one with the visible trianglular net and the boy on the right has his submerged in the water. Thats how it looks on closer inspection at least. :)

    Rihslw alw Think you're probably right. Got distracted by the two little sail boats on the pond...

    This might have been me if the photo had been taken 10 years earlier. The pond in Herbert Park was once the mill pond for the nearby Mill at Ballsbridge. This later became the Bakery of Johnton, Mooney & O'Brien (all together now!), where my father spent his working life. This site was later to make a few people very rich,... (plus ca change). The Bakery is long gone and a posh Hotel and Apartments have replaced it.

    Rihslw alw Rich, I see a line in the hand of the kid in the middle of the photo and I see this line in the water also, perhaps attached to one of the sail boats ( for retrieval purposes) what do you think? Carol are you off to play with the Mayfly!
