May 2, 2013<\/strong><\/p>\n

The South Burnett Regional Council has planted a garden at the recently Heritage-listed Murgon Town Hall to honour sporting legend Steve Renouf.<\/p>\n

\u201cCouncil have chosen to plant black roses – which are also known as the Black Pearl – in honour of Steve\u2019s nickname,\u201d Cr Kathy Duff said.<\/p>\n

Steve Renouf, who grew up in Murgon, was a try-scoring machine for the Brisbane Broncos rugby league team, and still holds the club’s record for the most tries scored in a season.<\/p>\n

He was dubbed “the Black Pearl” by team-mates.<\/p>\n

The Black Pearl rose, also known as the Brindabella Rose, has buds that are jet black. It then flowers into a deep red, almost black, rose with a beautiful perfume.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe there was another football player in England called the Black Pearl,” Steve said today.<\/p>\n

“When I first went to the Broncos in the reserve grade, way back in 1988, a team mate called me ‘The Black Pearl’ and it caught on as my permanent nickname.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am looking forward to seeing the facelift to the Murgon Hall. I am honoured the flower of choice at the hall will be \u2018The Black Pearl\u2019.”<\/p>\n

Cr Duff said the garden would finish off the renovations to the building and “add some current memories to its history”.<\/p>\n

Steve Renouf was in the South Burnett for the launch of the Kingaroy Salvation Army Red Shield Appeal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
