Be transported by Midcoast Productions as they perform Noel Coward’s Fallen Angels at the Killabakh Hall.
Set in 1920s London, two fallen angels, Julia Sterroll and Jane Banbury, have been in happy but uneventful marriages. Before their marriages they had a short steamy affair with Maurice Duclos who has now arrived in London and requested to see them both. Whatever should they do?
Join us for an afternoon of fun & see this scandalous and riveting play at the Killabakh Hall.
Snacks and drinks available from the Killabakh Cafe.
Fallen Angels’ ensemble cast is nothing short of brilliant. Starring Cathrine Watson as Julia Sterroll, Brianna Xuereb as Jane Banbury, Millie Graham as Fred Sterroll, Tyler Blake as Willy Banbury, Quillan Joyier as Saunders, and Kaylan O’Keefe as Maurice Duclos.
Written by Noel Coward | Hosted by Killabakh Community Association | Directed by Cathrine Watson | Produced by MidCoast Productions. Tickets can be purchased on the door as well as online in advance. Please bring cash to use at the cafe, we will have an eftpos reader available but the internet can be patchy. Money goes towards supporting local creatives and fundraising for the Killabakh Community Association.

The Killabakh Rural Fire Brigade will be holding its annual fireworks and bonfire night on 20 July 2024. As in previous years we are looking for soup makers. Anyone willing to make a large pot of their favourite recipe, please advise via this post. Traditionally soups have been donated but the cost of ingredients may be claimed if receipts are provided. Of course donations will still be accepted.
The doors open at 4:30pm, we will light the bonfire around 5pm and the fireworks will be at 6pm and last for 20-30mins. Hopefully the noise will not be too distressing for local pets and livestock.
Entry fees this year show a small increase over previous years so as to enable a small surplus. Prices are as follows:
a) Family entry - $15
b) Single entry - $6 (adult) / $3 (child)
c) Mug of soup - 50c
d) Sausage sizzle - $2
e) Soft drink - $2
We will have the sausage sizzle and soups at the Fireshed irrespective of weather, but the fireworks are weather dependent. In order to avoid any confusion, these are the constraints which apply in order for the fireworks to go ahead:
We need to set the fireworks up ready for firing. They require a flat surface, normally a tile or paver, and to be secured against falling over.
Most of the preparation work is done the day before firing. If it's raining heavy, no set up, no fireworks.
On the day, we can tolerate some light rain but protecting fireworks from rain has limitations because damp fireworks can be dangerous, if not impossible, to fire.
Rain at firing time, will generally mean no fireworks.
Wind is usually not a problem, but it may be.
We will do our best to have fireworks, but will not be making any last-minute changes/announcements. So come along anyway and support your local Fire Brigade and, hopefully, see a firework display up close.

Monthly meetings for the Killabakh Community Association are held on the Third Thursday of every month and are open for any community members to attend. Active participation in the meetings requires membership to the KCA, which incurs a $2 annual fee to be paid to the Treasurer.

Beginning Fri 15 Dec 23, the Killabakh Rural Fire Brigade UHF Base Station will be on air between 17:30 and 18:30 (5.30PM to 6.30PM) each Friday afternoon to enable members of KERN to test their radios and make calls to the station.

This is a wonderful start to what we hope will be a valuable component of our community resilience and emergency plan. We aim for it to be a mechanism that will enable us to help our own family and our fellow community members in the next emergency/disaster event in our community.

Please use the Friday afternoon sessions to practice your use of the radio and to become familiar with it. I recommend that you call in every Friday afternoon or as often as you can so that you get used to hearing different voices. Practice makes perfect.

Please do the following:
Commit to participating as often as possible on a weekly basis because this will give you confidence and trust in the system.

What this will achieve is:
You will get to know that you can speak confidently with Killabakh Base (the fire station) you will also get to know who else on the network that you can hear and talk to.

From here on in, I will invite KERN users to not only call Killabakh Base but to call each other and practice using your callsign and doing radio checks with each other. Just remember the procedures:
- KERN is a SIMPLEX network. This means we all talk and listen on the same channel, so only one station can talk at any one time.
- Listen out before you transmit
- Make sure no one else is speaking before you speak
- Press the button for a split second before you speak because you do not want to cut off your first words
- Start with the callsign of the station you are calling and then say your callsign; eg:
"Killabakh Base THIS IS wun too fife six Comboyne Road, radio check Over", or
"wun too fife six THIS IS wun sev-en too too Comboyne Road, radio check over"
- When responding to another station who has requested a radio check; eg:
"wun sev-en too too Comboyne Road THIS IS wun ait fow-er Yarnold Road, loud and clear OVER."

Please refer to the attached Phonetic Alphabet and keep a printout of it next to your radio.
For more information and to register your participation please contact Brian Willey
