Film Premiere: Kenilworth Township Centenary

100 years of history 1924 to 2024



Celebrate the settlement of Kenilworth township. Hear from locals as they share their memories of what life was like in days gone by from the opening of the first shop, to the hall and school. Share in the excitement of show time at the local rodeo, and hear how this close knit community sticks together and supports one another through thick and thin. The future of Kenilworth is bright in this picturesque hinterland town.



Interviews with:

John Cochrane

Shirley Moreland

Lenore Meldrum

Shane Smith

Susan and Peter Hennessy

In honour of National Reconciliation Week, the MRCCC acknowledges First Nations people of the Mary River catchment: the Jinibara people from the headwaters in the Conondale and Blackall Ranges, the Kabi Kabi or Gubbi Gubbi people from the lands where the river begins its journey to the sea, the Wakka Wakka people in the very northwest part of the catchment and the Badtjala or Butchulla people in the tidal reaches, Great Sandy Strait and on K'gari.

We acknowledge the various names by which they've known this river that we've known so recently as the Mary; Numabulla, Moonaboola, Moocooboola, Moorooboocoola.

The MRCCC's efforts 'healing the country', this catchment, have spanned just over a quarter of a century.

We remain humbled by our First Nations peoples' long connection and custodianship and look forward to working together in the future.
