On 5 February the Dickabram Bridge closed for major maintenance and is expected to reopen around October. The bridge is heritage-listed and crosses the Mary River between Miva and Theebine. It is Qld’s oldest timber bridge and one of two remaining road and rail bridges in Australia – although the last train crossed the bridge in 2008. It is also the oldest remaining large, steel-truss bridge constructed in Qld.
Dickabram Bridge was built from 1885-1886 as a major bridge on the Kingaroy branch railway line to provide access to the mineral resources at Kilkivan. These resources included gold, copper, silver, cinnabar and cobalt. During construction it was known as the Kilkivan railway bridge.
The Dickabram Bridge is also said to have its own ghost. During construction a worker who had been pushing a wheelbarrow full of concrete disappeared and it was suspected that he fell into one of the pylons. His body was never found. Some say that the ghost of the lost worker can be heard in the steel piles of the bridge.
At 21.3m above the Mary River, Dickabram Bridge has survived many floods, although in 1893 its decking was submerged, and in 2022 the water stopped just under the decking. Not bad workmanship given it was built using cross-cut saws, wedges and wheelbarrows! ... See MoreSee Less

Imagine arriving for an anniversary party to discover your host – a British government minister – has shot himself in the ear. Guests Ken and Chris wonder whether it was accidental. Others arrive including Len and Claire, who have already been injured in a car accident, while Ernest, Cookie, Glenn and Cassie all have their own problems. Efforts to avoid a scandal result in hilarious mayhem and soon police are involved. Audiences will be laughing nonstop at the crazy development and fast-flowing witty dialogue in Neil Simon’s upcoming play Rumours, at Noosa Arts Theatre
Neil Simon is the master of social middle class farce, with innumerable Broadway hits turned into movies such as The Odd Couple, Plaza Suite, Barefoot in the Park and Rumours. The original version involved a New York Deputy Mayor – written during Simon’s messy divorce when he needed to find laughter in his life. Its huge success led to his UK farcical version with British characters and a “u” in the title.
Director Andrew Moon has gathered a super cast, including new faces and several well-known favourites including Robert Boesch – recently incognito as Scrooge – Oriana Packman, Glen Miller, Liz Bear, Maria Karambelas, Michael Morgan, Ryan Carr, Lily Parisi, along with Jane Rivers and Stephanie Fratter – as the two shortest officers in the Metropolitan Police.
Tickets are selling fast, with performances on 3-20 April. Bookings: noosaartstheatre.org.au or at the Box Office on 5449 9343, Tuesday to Fridays between 10am-2pm. ... See MoreSee Less
