The Nanango Library will be launching a new series of local history talks on Monday, October 17.
Former Nanango Shire Mayor Reg McCallum will deliver the first one, discussing the history of Nanango and its surrounding districts, as well as reminiscing about his involvement with the Blackbutt-Linville Rail Trail, the pioneer walk and many of his other endeavours.
Mary Green, from the South Burnett Regional Council’s History and Heritage staff, said the library are currently compiling a list of subjects for future talks.
Potential topics include The Colonial Past, Romance of the Steam Engine, Nuts about Kingaroy and Wine, and Cheese and Heritage.
The library hopes to present new talks each month under the banner “Legends Of The South Burnett”.
“Reg well and truly fits the bill as a South Burnett legend, and we are inviting everyone to come and join us at the Nanango Library for a journey through history with him,” Mary said.
The talk will be held at 10:00am, and light refreshments will be provided.
There is no charge to attend, but to help plan the catering bookings are essential.
They can be made by phoning (07) 4189-9438.
