If you have any photos from the really early years, please consider sharing them here
These are the oldest photos we have in our collection circa 1967
The ?1967 RadioActive BCC entry in the Raft Race kindly notated by
George McLucas VK4AMG who took the photo
This is a group of Deptarment of Civil Aviation trainees - except for John Perryn and Danny’s mate.
Danny was actually employed by OTC but still trained with DCA.
The group was probably attending an amateur radio convention being held at Alexandra Headlands.
This was either 1967 or 1968 - and obviously not wintertime.
They carried a Pye Mk III up Mt Tibrogargan,
Peter Crewdson, being the smallest, carried the battery. No contacts were made.
George McLucas (now VK4AMG not pictured as he took the photo of,
Mike Willet VK4ZMW, Peter Crewdsen VK4ZPC, Ron Chernich VK4ZRC
Bob Stroud VK4ZSB, a friend of ZDD from ?Gympie, Danny Dwyer VK4ZDD
John Perryn VK4ZJP & Graham Bell VK4ZGB
We wonder where they all are now?
Here are some photos of the 1968 annual dinner - Upstairs in the Grand Hotel (photo's were found by Bob & Jenny Elkin)

Memorable shot of the team building the repeater shack on Mt Goonaneman
Following are photos of the construction project and the official opening.
The crowd shots show a vibrant club and talented group of 'fathers and sons' who got in and built the shack and the tower.
Very few names are on the reverse of the photo's so once again if we have missed someone we apologise.
The Official opening was performed by Mr P C Millar MHR Wide Bay on 29th October 1978
P.C. Millar & Danny Morrish

Rusty VK4JM and Keith VK4APQ (SK), the honoured old-guard of the club.
While others certainly helped to build the club, many have moved on. These two men remained our staunch supporters in every way
