  If you love black cats you’ll be delighted to know there are two national days that recognize these beautiful animals: Black Cat Appreciation Day and National Black Cat Day! “Philosophy is like being in a dark room and looking for a black cat. Metaphysics is like being in a dark room and looking for a black cat that isn’t there. Theology is like being in a dark room and looking for a black cat that isn’t there, and shouting “I found it!” Science is like being in a dark room looking for a black cat while using a flashlight.” – Black Cat Analogy “A black cat crossing your path signifies that the animal is going somewhere.” – Groucho Marx Source alwaystheholidays.com/black-cat-quotes/

Victoria Hotel Mackay

  Located on the north-western corner of Victoria and Macalister Streets. The site is presently occupied by the modern Whitsunday Hotel. The original Vulcan Hotel was advertised by James Robb s being on this site and the hotel's name appeared to be changed to the "Victoria" by Robert Neill. The original Victoria Hotel was destroyed by fire on Friday 3 September 1897. It was rebuilt and badly damaged in the 1918 Cyclone. The present Whitsunday Hotel was built on the site of the old Victoria Hotel in 1966. It opened for business on May 6, 1966. Source: www.mackayhistory.org/research/hotels/hotels_l_to_z.html#...

Group portrait of Woombye State School students and teacher Queensland 1910

  History Soon after the discovery of gold at Gympie in 1867, a Cobb and Co. coach route was established, passing over the hill on which our school now stands. A changing camp was necessary, so the settlement of Cobb's Camp came into being. As the population increased, a school was needed, so Cobb's Camp School, No. 476 was established, the opening day being 17 August, 1885. This very small school grew with the arrival of more settlers, and the advent of the railway line from Landsborough to Woombye. Woombye was an aboriginal name for the black myrtle which grew in the scrub, its straight, tough stems being used by the coach drivers for whip handles. Another source attributes the name "Woombye" as an aboriginal word meaning "the place of the black snake". Source: woombyess.eq.edu.au/our-school/history
