January 27, 2022<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s no secret that Cherbourg’s Tyrone Murray loves being a barber … but the opening of his new shop in Murgon on Thursday was definitely “a cut above the rest”.<\/p>\n

The opening celebrations are going to take a lot of beating!<\/p>\n

Tyrone’s shop, “Crow’s Barbershop”, is believed to be the first Indigenous-owned business in Lamb Street so there was plenty to celebrate.<\/p>\n

QEII Park hosted Tyrone’s friends and family in a mix of modern and traditional celebrations.<\/p>\n

There was dancing by the Wakka Wakka Dancers – dancing is another one of Ty’s loves – speeches, a barbecue and a jumping castle for the kids.<\/p>\n

Cherbourg Radio did a live broadcast to share the fun with anyone who could not make it into Murgon.<\/p>\n

Wakka Wakka Elder Aunty Vera Sullivan, who did the Welcome To Country, congratulated Tyrone for all the hard work he had put into getting the business to this point.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We are all so very proud of you. You are a good role model for your community,” she said.<\/p>\n

Pastor Max Conlon, who did the blessing, was also full of praise.<\/p>\n

“It’s wonderful to see an Aboriginal business in this community … dreams do come true,” he said.<\/p>\n

Nurunderi TAFE campus co-ordinator Sharon Sippel said Tyrone had done a lot of hard work “behind the scenes”.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“He hasn’t just sat down and waited for opportunities to come,” she said. “He kept getting back up and made this happen.”<\/p>\n

Cherbourg Mayor Elvie Sandow, Deputy Mayor Tom Langton and Council CEO Chatur Zala presented Tyrone with a clock as a keepsake for the occasion.<\/p>\n

An emotional Ty told the crowd he had promised himself he would be the first Indigenous man to have a shop “in this street”.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“That promise has come true today as I open my shop,” he said.<\/p>\n

Ty admitted he had faced challenges along the way but said people had always pushed him to get back up, including his mother and wife.<\/p>\n

“It’s something I love. I love cutting hair,” he said.<\/p>\n

The shop has been named Crow’s Barbershop after his great-great-grandfather.<\/p>\n
