Brennan & Geraghty's Store Museum
The remarkable store that time forgot! This heritage-listed grocery store operated in Maryborough for over 100 years before closing its doors with everything inside. The shop contains a collection of more than 100,000 items, all preserved in original condition. After many painstaking years of restoration, the store was opened as a museum by the National Trust and is open to the public seven days a week at 62-66 Lennox Street, Maryborough.

NIGHT WATCHERS - PARANORMAL SERIES:
Long Tan - Harry Smith Star of Gallantry Presentation
This is an edited extract of the main parts of the Star of Gallantry (SG) presentation to Lt Col Harry Smith (RTD) SG MC on 9 March 2011 in Maryborough, Queensland. Harry Smith was the Officer Commanding D Company, 6RAR during the iconic Battle of Long Tan on 18 August 1966.
Speakers in order of appearance are: Lex McAulay, Major Pittard OC D Coy, 9RQR, MP Paul Neville, Lt Col Harry Smith (RTD), Victoria Cross winner Corporal Ben Roberts-Smith SAS, Brian Harland College Captain Fraser Coast Anglican College, John Meyer - Director Maryborough Military & Colonial Museum.
Harry Smith was originally recommended for the Distinguished Service Order (DSO) but this was downgraded to a Military Cross (MC).
At the first Australian Government inquiry into the medals awarded for Long Tan in 2008, the inquiry recommended that Harry Smith's Military Cross be upgraded to the Star of Gallantry which is just below the Victoria Cross.
This is his original DSO citation from 1966, written by his commanding officer Lt Col Colin Townsend, CO 6RAR:
Major Harry Arthur Smith was commissioned from the Officer Cadet School on 13 December 1952 and first saw active service with 2nd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment during the Malaya Emergency 1955-1957.
In August 1966 Major Smith commanded D Company 6th Battalion The Royal Australian Regiment. On 18 August 1966, D Company began a Search and Destroy Patrol in Phuoc Tuy Province South Vietnam. During the patrol, the leading platoon contacted what appeared to be a small Viet Cong patrol in thick rubber. The enemy soon proved to be the vanguard of a regimental size force, and the platoon engagement quickly developed into a Company battle. The Viet Cong attacking from two flanks and supported by intense mortar and recoilless rifle fire, soon penetrated between the leading platoon and the rest of the company.
Despite the intense and accurate enemy fire, Major Smith formed the remainder of his company into a small defensive perimeter from which he made repeated but unsuccessful attempts to relieve the leading platoon whilst halting numerous attacks from both flanks on his own position.
Throughout the action, he directed the fire of his company and of his supporting artillery batteries with such effectiveness that the enemy finally disengaged and withdrew, leaving behind over 200 dead.
But for the determination and outstanding leadership shown by this officer D Company might well have been annihilated.
During the whole of the engagement, he had complete control of the situation. He exercised his command with calmness, determination and confidence, and demonstrated professional competence, leadership and inspiration to an exceptional degree. There is no doubt that his leadership and his disregard for his own personal safety inspired his soldiers to a performance of duty of a high order.
His display of command, leadership and professionalism is an inspiration to all.
My trip to Australia (part 1)
Filmed on May 23/25/26/30, 2018. As a graduation gift to myself and as a birthday gift to my boyfriend, I decided to take a well deserved vacation and visit him at his home in Australia. Before heading to the airport I had to do one important thing first, which was graduate from Cal State Long Beach with my Bachelors Degree. After the 14 hour flight I finally landed in Brisbane where my adventures started. I mostly spent time with my boyfriend, his family and friends. We went bowling and walked around historic Maryborough.

- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

SUMMARY
=======
A metal detector is an electronic instrument which detects the presence of metal nearby. Metal detectors are useful for finding metal inclusions hidden within objects, or metal objects buried underground. They often consist of a handheld unit with a sensor probe which can be swept over the ground or other objects. If the sensor comes near a piece of metal this is indicated by a changing tone in earphones, or a needle moving on an indicator. Usually the device gives some indication of distance; the closer the metal is, the higher the tone in the earphone or the higher the needle goes. Another common type are stationary walk through metal detectors used for security screening at access points in prisons, courthouses, and airports to detect concealed metal weapons on a person's body.
The simplest form of a metal detector consists of an oscillator producing an alternating current that passes through a coil producing an alternating magnetic field. If a piece of electrically conductive metal is close to the coil, eddy currents will be induced in the metal, and this produces a magnetic field of its own. If another coil is used to measure the magnetic field (acting as a magnetometer), the change in the magnetic field due to the metallic object can be detected.
The first industrial metal detectors were developed in the 1960s and were used extensively for mineral prospecting and other industrial applications. Uses include detecting land mines, the detection of weapons such as knives and guns (especially in airport security), geophysical prospecting, archaeology and treasure hunting. Metal detectors are also used to detect foreign bodies in food, and in the construction industry to detect steel reinforcing bars in concrete and pipes and wires buried in walls and floors.
