The first committee meeting was held in January 1914 and during 1916 the present church site was purchased from Mary Graham. After a £500 bequest was left by Peter Margach for the building fund it was decided that a church should be built. The church construction was commenced early in 1918 but the framework was flattened during a cyclone in March. The building contractor, Frank Robson, replaced the framework, and the church was completed and officially opened in November 1918. In 1925, the ground under the church was excavated and a concrete hall was built by Peter Van Leeuwen, made possible from another bequest of £499 from Mary Kate Margach. This hall 36'x 26'was later enlarged by an additional 24 feet (7.3 m) and formed the foundation of the new building.[1] Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Andrew%27s_Presbyterian_Memorial...

Crows Nest, established on Dalla tribal lands, was declared a town in 1876.[5] Crows Nest Post Office opened on 1 July 1878.[6] A branch railway line from Toowoomba, which serviced a number of sawmills and a dairying district, was finished in 1886.[5] In December 1880 the Primitive Methodist Church purchased 1.5 acres (0.61 ha) of land for a church.[7] The church opened on Good Friday on 15 April 1881.[8][9] On 31 December 1905, a new Crows Nest Methodist Church was opened; it replaced the old church.[10] In 1956 the church was remodeled. After the Methodist Church amalgamated into the Uniting Church in Australia in 1977, it became the Crows Nest District Uniting Church.[11] Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crows_Nest,_Queensland

While not being urged to avoid competition, women had few opportunities to compete in sport in Australia until the 1880s. After that date, new sporting facilities were being built around the country and many new sport clubs were created.[1] One of the reasons women were encouraged to play croquet, tennis, and golf during the late 1800s was because it was seen as beneficial to their health. These sports were also seen as passive, non-aggressive, and non-threatening to the period's concepts of masculinity and femininity.[2]" Source: www.wikiwand.com/en/Women%27s_tennis_in_Australia
