The recent “Sawdust In Our Veins” tribute night has raised about $10,000 towards the dream of creating a Timber Museum in Blackbutt.<\/p>\n

The not-for-profit Blackbutt Tourism and Heritage Association – the group behind the successful Roy Emerson Museum – have long dreamt of creating another area dedicated solely to the town’s historic (and current) timber industry.<\/p>\n

The group wants to create the museum as part of the Nukku Nook complex in the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail area near the Blackbutt Showgrounds.<\/p>\n

Association member Noeleen Bird said they were exploring the cost of relocating a building from the Jimna forestry area to Blackbutt, although this had not been confirmed.<\/strong><\/p>\n

About 100 people, including volunteers from the Blackbutt Yarraman QCWA and Blackbutt Benarkin Lions, attended the evening in Blackbutt Memorial Hall on August 31.<\/p>\n

Local resident Nick Freeleagus conducted a fundraising auction.<\/p>\n

Noeleen said she wanted to thank the major sponsors for the evening, the South Burnett Regional Council and Stanwell, as well as the auction donors.<\/p>\n

A wooden swing, made and donated by the Timbertown Woodworkers, was auctioned for $2000!<\/p>\n

The hall was decorated with about 30 paintings by the late Blackbutt artist Janet Skinner, who died in March.<\/p>\n

The paintings, part of a collection donated to the Blackbutt community by Janet’s partner Jim Duff and her daughters, were hung around the hall.<\/p>\n

NB. A documentary about the Blackbutt timber industry, “Sawdust In Our Veins”, will be launched in Blackbutt in November.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
