Branchline Freight - Charleville, Quilpie, Cunnamulla
19 Minutes. Even in 2005, freight trains were running here twice a week. The shocking 2011 floods closed the line to Toowoomba for a couple of weeks. Trucks took over, trains never returned.
Thanks to Phil, 'Signal01' for current freight train information

Southwest Murries - 'Ripple Effect'
Desert Pea Media is very proud to announce our new collaboration with 'The South West Murries' - a group of incredible young First Nations artists from Cunnamulla, Queensland. This Desert Pea Media production brought together Elders, community members and young people to create an important conversation about country, culture and community.
The project was funded by Cunnamulla Aboriginal Corporation for Health (CACH) and Paroo Shire Council:Strong Families Strong Community Program, and facilitated/directed by charity organisation, Desert Pea Media.
‘The Ripple Effect' was created in March 2019, the result of a five-day Desert Pea Media music, film & storytelling workshop. Co-written by, and starring, an incredibly talented group of young people, community members and local Elders from the local community - with support from the DPM team and Cunnamulla community members.
Desert Pea Media projects involve a dialogue-based storytelling process that encourages participants to analyse 'the real', 'the ideal' and 'the bridge'. In simple terms this means critically thinking about how to create positive change for yourself, for each other and for our communities.
'Ripple Effect' is a bouncy, electro anthem for the Original Nations community of Cunnamulla in Central QLD. The track pushes an agenda of positivity and respect for country and community. It looks at the interconnection of Original Nations people, land and story and the huge impact of historical events on social and emotional well-being for the local community.
Lead DPM Songwriter and Central Arrernte artist Declan Furber-Gillick from Desert Pea Media said The young people from Cunnamulla took to the song-writng yarn with real determination, courage and open minds. With a balanced commitment to their cultural heritage and to mainstream education, Cully kids really know what they can achieve for themselves, their families and their town. For a place that has a pretty rough history for blackfullahs, these kids are an example of community pride. Cunnamulla Dreaming, Cully represent!.
Special Thanks to Miriam Avery from the Hope Project, Lacey Mack and Julie Fox at Cunnamulla State School P-12, Kerry Crumblin and Ethan Capewell and the team at CACH, Lawrence Anderson (aka Cheesy) at Paroo Shire Council and Allen Wharton (aka Monk).

LYRICS
How ya goin’ cuz? What up my bred?
Where you from? Who ya mob? - Cully crew represent!
We the Mardigan, Kunja, Badjari, Budjudi,
Kooma, Murrawarri, Don’t forget Kulluli!
Southwest murries at one with the Warrego
Swimmin’ in the river! tubin' on a motorboat!
Gettin them booglies, yellow belly, cod
But there ain’t too many since the waterline dropped
Elders got the knowledge, but there ain’t many left
Still, we know how to pay respect with our family and friends
Check it - everybody here knows:
Cully is our home, Cully is your home
Cully’s reputation? PAUSE These opportunities we takin’
If we got problems, we face ‘em!
Land keepers, with culture in our veins
Proud of our community and proud of this place.
HOOK 1:
Proud of my town and I’m proud of the south west
That’s the ripple, the ripple effect!
Proud of my people and this heart in my chest
That’s the ripple, the ripple effect
You get respect when you give respect, yep!
That’s the ripple, the ripple effect
Cunumulla dreamin’, Cully represent!
That’s the ripple, the ripple effect
BRIDGE 1:
That’s the ripple, the ripple effect
That’s the ripple, the ripple effect
That’s the ripple, the ripple effect!
COMIN’ TOGETHER, MOVIN’ AHEAD
VERSE 2
Back in the days of the Yumba
Our old people were the deadliest hunters
Eating up Johnny cakes, roo and emu
Livin’ on the camp in numbers
But a lotta blackfullas got shipped out
For speakin in language - now we all miss out
The west lander was a passenger train
But it took a lotta people away, ok?
Education, cuz: knowledge and meaning
Livin’ by the river, listenin’ since the dreaming
For something new for our culture and our country too
We lost time so theres lots to do
We got this, we got the tools, gonna go get it
Don’t step ya game up, yah gonna regret it
Put it there, change coming, new competition
Uppa sis, calling out now - join the mission

Australian - Outback Sojourn - Westlander
The Westlander servicing the south west region of Queensland has been a fixture of rail operations since its introduction in 1954. At the time it was seen as ultra modern and levels of luxury never before seen on the south western rails of Queensland.
This production features the Westlander in the final days of sleeping car accommodation operations on 3 December 2014. Since 2015, the Westlander operates without sleeping cars for the 17 hour hour journey between Brisbane and Charleville.
Shortly after sunrise the Westlander is seen on approach to Yuelba and is followed steadily westward through to Charleville.
Produced and directed Mike Condon.
