Aspley Orchid Society Celebrates 50th Anniversary With Valentine’s Day Summer Show

Chermside Guide / Facebook

The Aspley Orchid Society hits its 50-year milestone this month, celebrating five decades of local history with a massive Summer Show this Valentine’s Day at the Pine Rivers Showgrounds Hall in Lawnton.

Since kicking things off on 6 February 1976, the society has become the go-to hub for orchid lovers right across Brisbane’s north side. President Trich Ewing said that with 50 years on the board, Aspley Orchid Society can rightly say it is part of the local community fabric.

The Valentine’s Day show on Saturday, February 14, runs from 8am to 3:30pm and features competitive orchid displays, orchid sales from experienced growers, and expert advice for novices and experienced growers alike. Secretary Roslyn Hunt said hosting the show on Valentine’s Day brings extra charm, as orchids make an ideal romantic gift.

Five Decades of Growth and Community Building

A key moment for the society came in 1995, when life member Chris Duffy established the New Growers group to educate new members about growing orchids. This initiative continues today and has contributed to raising public awareness about the organisation while bringing in new members over the past three decades.

Another milestone arrived in 1982, when the society secured a permanent venue at the Wavell Heights Community Hall. When the society outgrew its space, members rolled up their sleeves to enclose and roof the veranda themselves, expanding the hall for the whole community to enjoy.

Anniversary Celebrations Extend Beyond Valentine’s Day

To celebrate the 50th anniversary properly, the society will hold a formal dinner in mid-March as a thank you to members past and present. Roslyn Hunt said the celebration recognises all the years of hosting successful orchid shows and expanding membership, as well as the society’s commitment to future excellence in orchid growing and community spirit.

The society looks forward to nurturing future generations, strengthening ties with the wider community, and celebrating orchids for decades to come. The 50 years of continuous operation demonstrate the enduring appeal of orchid cultivation among Brisbane gardeners and the value of specialist hobby groups in suburban communities.

What to Expect at the Summer Show

Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting out, come along to grab some expert tips, stock up on supplies, or snag a flowering orchid for your Valentine. The romantic themes of Valentine’s Day match the orchids’ delicate beauty, making them perfect gifts for that special someone.

Admission to the show is $5 for adults, with children under 14 free. The event takes place at Pine Rivers Showgrounds Hall, 757 Gympie Road, Lawnton.

Jewellery Heist Under Police Investigation in Aspley

Police are investigating a jewellery theft at the Aspley Shopping Centre after masked offenders targeted a store inside the complex.

Early-Morning Break-In

Police reported that two masked thieves forced their way into the Aspley Hypermarket at around 5:30 a.m. on Saturday, 29 November. The offenders shattered the centre’s main entrance before breaking open a display cabinet holding jewels, chains, rings and earrings. Officers said the pair took the items and left the scene, and investigators believe a third person acted as a getaway driver.

The incident was captured in footage shared online, which prompted a significant amount of public discussion. The images circulated widely and led to hundreds of comments from locals who reacted to the early-morning smash-and-grab.

Background on the Business

The jewellery store forms part of a family-owned company established in 1978 by Giovanni and Maria Antonaglia. Over several decades, the owners travelled internationally to source high-quality items, including innovative jewellery designs and unique gifts, which they introduced to their Australian customers.

The company has since expanded, becoming the parent organisation of Crown Family Jewellers at Westfield Chermside. Their daughters now lead the operations, and the store features an in-house master jeweller who produces custom-made pieces. The family has also engaged in charitable initiatives, and in 2008 Giovanni received a Queen’s Orders of Australia Medal for his contributions.

Community Sentiment

Comments online reflected concern about the break-in and support for the affected business. Some people questioned the value of the items taken, noting speculation about whether the pieces were of high worth or lower-cost items. Others expressed frustration at theft-related incidents and sympathy for the store owners, especially given the family’s long presence in the jewellery industry.

Ongoing Investigation

Police are continuing to search for the two masked offenders and the suspected getaway driver linked to the Aspley incident. Inquiries into the jewellery heist remain ongoing.

Motorcyclist Miraculously Uninjured After Frightening Gympie Road Encounter

A motorcyclist has spoken out after a frightening encounter on Gympie Road in Aspley left him shaken but miraculously uninjured.

Ruchir Awate was waiting at traffic lights on Gympie Road when a red Mazda allegedly rear-ended his motorcycle without warning on Tuesday evening.

What appeared to initially be a traffic accident quickly escalated into something far more sinister. Footage captured on Mr Awate’s action camera shows the vehicle reversing before allegedly driving directly towards him as he sat on the side of the road after being knocked from his bike.

“I think at one point my legs were under his car and my heart was just beating,” Mr Awate said. “I was thinking, am I – is this it?”

The incident didn’t end there. The driver allegedly attempted to steal Mr Awate’s bag, which had fallen during the collision. The motorcyclist managed to retrieve his belongings by reaching through the car window.

Separate mobile phone footage shows Mr Awate, still wearing his helmet, jumping onto the footpath and moving towards bushes to escape the vehicle.

“I thought, it’s stolen or something, he doesn’t care about the car, he’s gonna go straight into me over the curb into the bush,” Mr Awate explained.

Queensland Police are investigating the incident and have identified a person of interest. Authorities have indicated that the registered owner of the vehicle does not match the description provided by Mr Awate.

Police expect to lay charges soon.

Mr Awate, who captured the entire ordeal on his action camera, expressed hope that the person responsible would be held accountable.

“I really do hope the police can track him down. I hope he understands what he’s done wrong and I hope he gets the charges that are coming,” he said.

The incident occurred in Brisbane’s northern suburbs, with Aspley residents likely to be concerned about road safety following the alleged attack.

Anyone with information about the incident is encouraged to contact Queensland Police.

Modern Facilities and Club Growth

Located at 20 Kookaburra Court in Carseldine, the Aspley Memorial Bowls Club—known locally as “The Friendly Club”—operates three artificial greens, one of which is covered and two fitted with lights. The club caters to players of all ages, encouraging both social and competitive participation. It offers regular playing sessions, barefoot bowls, and community events throughout the year, providing opportunities for both experienced and new bowlers to get involved.

Promoting Health and Connection

Beyond sport, the club acts as a social hub for residents in and around Aspley. It offers venue hire for community functions and family gatherings, supported by volunteers and local sponsors. Upholding family-friendly values, the club operates without gambling facilities and focuses on providing a welcoming space for recreation, connection, and active living.

Looking Ahead

The addition of the John Newman Green 3 marks a major step forward in maintaining high-quality playing surfaces and ensuring the club remains a key part of the community’s sporting life. The development strengthens Aspley’s reputation for supporting local sport and continues the legacy of members like John Newman who contributed decades of service to the club.

New Youth Programmes Launch in Aspley and Bridgeman Downs with Kickstarter Funding

To help steer young people away from a life of crime, two community organisations in Aspley and Bridgeman Downs have been chosen to deliver new, locally-focused support programmes funded by the $2.7 million Kickstarter initiative.

Grassroots Action for Local Youth

The investment will see the Queensland Blue Light Association Inc. begin its ‘Blue Edge’ programme in Aspley, while ACCER Care PL will run its ‘YD Project’ in Bridgeman Downs. These are two of the first 11 community-based projects in the region to receive the new funding.

In Aspley, the eight-week ‘Blue Edge’ programme will support at-risk youth by combining physical training with life skills workshops and peer-led mentorship. Delivered twice a week, the initiative aims to enhance mental and physical wellbeing, build leadership, and foster respectful relationships between young people and police, culminating in a celebratory graduation event.

Meanwhile, the ‘YD Project’ in Bridgeman Downs is a 12-week early intervention initiative focused on empowering Indigenous youth aged 8 to 17. The programme uses individualised case management, mentoring, and cultural activities to foster positive life choices. For participants who require additional support, an optional extended 12-week phase is also available.

The Fuel Behind the Initiative

This local support is made possible by the Queensland Government’s new ‘Kickstarter’ grant programme. The Aspley and Bridgeman Downs organisations received a share of the $2.7 million distributed in the first round of funding.

The Kickstarter programme was created to trial new ideas for preventing youth crime by empowering local groups to address challenges unique to their communities. To be successful, applicants had to show how their projects would reduce crime, help youths re-engage with education or training, and repair family relationships. Programmes that demonstrate a measurable positive impact may become eligible for ongoing funding in the future.

A Statewide Push for Early Support

The grants are part of the government’s wider $115 million ‘Gold Standard Early Intervention’ strategy, a key pillar of its efforts to improve community safety. Overall, a total of $50 million will be committed to the Kickstarter programme across four years.

According to the Minister for Youth Justice and Victim Support, Laura Gerber, this investment is a critical step in preventing young people from entering a life of crime. The government’s view is that effective, community-led intervention offers youths a positive path forward while helping to restore safety in local neighbourhoods. The initiative follows a period where, according to the government, insufficient investment was made in such preventative measures.

More Opportunities on the Horizon

With the first round of recipients announced, the government has now opened a second round of funding. Community organisations across Queensland are encouraged to apply for grants of up to $300,000 to develop their own innovative early intervention ideas.

Applications for the second round of the Kickstarter programme will close on 10 September 2025.

Three Hornets in Maroon: Aspley Players Key to QLD’s Showdown with Tassie

Aspley footy fans have reason to cheer, with three local talents named in Queensland’s final men’s squad to face Tasmania in this weekend’s state clash at Latrobe.

Ryan Banks‑Smith, Jordon Arnold, and Coen Harker will all don the maroon jumper, representing not only the State but also the strength of the Hornets’ QAFL program.

Queensland coach Steve Daniel has confirmed the 23-man team that will take the field at 2:15 pm on Saturday 5 July, following the women’s match at 12 pm. Both games will be livestreamed on AFL Queensland’s YouTube channel.

This is Daniel’s first time back at the helm of the Queensland side in over a decade, and he’s determined to shift momentum after back-to-back losses to Tasmania.

“2025 brings an exciting new challenge against Tasmania who over the last two years have been too good for us,” Daniel said. “So with that comes optimism and excitement to try and turn the tables. We have been able to establish a very combative team that is ready to put their best foot forward to contribute and help guide Queensland to victory.”

Aspley’s representation in the final team is a point of pride for the northside club. Banks‑Smith, a Grogan Medal winner in 2022 and one of QAFL’s most reliable midfielders, returns to the state line-up after a strong 2024 season. Stackelberg, known for his goal-kicking prowess, adds serious firepower up front. Harker brings further depth to the forward line with his agility and attack.

Their inclusion underscores Aspley’s continuing influence in Queensland football. The Hornets were crowned back-to-back QAFL premiers in 2022 and 2023 and have consistently developed players who transition into state and higher-level roles.

The Queensland line-up also features high-profile AFL alumni: Clay Cameron (ex-Gold Coast SUNS), Kyle Dunkley (Melbourne), Jarrod Cameron (West Coast Eagles), Matt Hammelmann (Brisbane Lions), and Cam Ellis-Yolmen (Brisbane and Adelaide). Their experience is expected to steady the side and guide the younger talents through the high-stakes encounter.

Eight players from last year’s squad return for redemption after a tough loss to Tasmania on the Gold Coast in 2024.

The match is more than just a game; it’s a chance for Queensland to reassert its strength and showcase the best of local talent—including a strong Aspley core that continues to rise.

Very flavourful Afghani food. Nice decor and lovely warm service. Went for dinner tonight and very glad to find such an amazing place close to home! Kebab plate had succulent meat and delicious rice. Naan by itself was so delicious. End your meal with their special tea and you wont regret.

Yesita Putri
⭐⭐⭐⭐

My first time visit the restaurant and tried Afghan food Food was absolutely amazing 5/5 The kebab and beef mantu were juicy and well spices. Ambience of the restaurant is actually great. Definitely will get the food here again, but maybe order online then pick up rather then come in person. Give poor rating for the service tho. Seems like the waitresses are very very new, not aware of the food they sell. Needs to take my order multiple time and waited almost 40 minutes for the food, yet they serve the food for people who dine in first!. There’s obviously a reason why I want a takeaway 🙄 But the kitchen lady came and fix the situation

May Vrazofski
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We have been here twice now and both times have been blown away with flavour, service and portion size. I love the mantu to start (not pictured, too hungry for photo) and this time we shared a Karwan Platter for 2 and Afghan salad. Juicy, fresh meat grilled to perfection and the fluffiest rice you’ll ever have. Can’t wait to visit again!

Milky On the way
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is my first time here, and I love it! I’ve never tried Afghan food before, and this place really impressed me. The dumplings were flavorful—the marinated meat filling had a nice hint of herbs. I ordered the chicken kebab, and the chicken was tender and juicy, with a delicious marinade. The rice was soft, light, and fluffy. The dipping sauce was great. The portions were huge—I couldn’t finish everything! I also had the marinated lamb kabab, which was equally delicious. I tried their special ice cream, which had a unique flavor I had never tasted before. I didn’t love it, but it wasn’t bad either. The serving was quite large—definitely enough for two people. Overall, I really like this place and highly recommend it! The portions are generous, the service is friendly, and the prices aren’t too expensive (around $20-$40+), but the quality is excellent. I’ll definitely come back!

Good Malaysian food. Good portion, delicious and authentic. Their Nasi lemak, hainanese chicken rice and char kuey teow are very good. The yam cake is nice too. ABC dessert was so so in my opinion.

Josephine Lim

This review is long overdue… Little Nyonya is one of our fave Malaysian restaurants in Brisbane. We drove 45 min each way to eat their food when they were in Ferny Grove, and fortunately for us they are in a much more accessible location now! The food is always top notch, reminds me of my grandmother’s cooking back in the day. The weekly specials are the stars of the show, but they do sometimes run out. If you want a particular meal, call them and they’ll reserve one for you. Service has always been amazing and efficient, and the kuih that they sell at the counter is the cherry on top. Love taking some home for the next day. Highly recommended!

Ebi Tempura
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Sincere and authentic Malaysian food. One dish that stood out on the special menu is Singapore Fried Hokkien (prawn)which was delicious!!! This dish is not commonly found on the menu of Asian restaurants in Brisbane. I applaud the owner’s passion for cooking for keeping the authenticity of the flavours. I noticed she add interesting local dishes to the special menu from time to time. Look forward other dishes in the future. The nyonya kuihs on the counter look very enticing. Drinks are ordered from the bar next to the kitchen. Having some Malaysian drink options on menu eg ice teh tarik would complement the dishes even more. Friendly service!

Our group of five visited for lunch. The service was fast and the Cha Kuey Teow, Nasi Lemak with Beef Rendang, Combination Laksa and Fried Bee Hoon were all delicious. Highly recommended!💯

I decided to give this place a try for Chinese New Year dinner with the family. We were blown away by the dish quality and freshness of ingredients. Spot on Hong kong cantonese cuisine by an experienced chef. I recommend ordering authentic dishes. The scallops were fat and juicy in generous portions. The seafood hot pot was exactly as I remember eating it growing up in Singapore. My son loved the sweet and sour pork. The bater to protein ratio was just nice..not too thick. The sweet sour sauce didn’t have artificial colours like other places. The cost of white rice is per person and free flow which is great for big eaters like myself that need rice to eat Chinese dishes. A great Northside treasure

Dosa Hut in Aspley is a must-visit for anyone who loves authentic Indian cuisine, particularly their incredible Goat Curry and Chicken Biryani. The Goat Curry is tender, cooked to perfection, and packed with rich, aromatic spices that transport you straight to the heart of India. The meat just falls off the bone, blending beautifully with the flavorful curry, making it an absolute delight for your taste buds. The Chicken Biryani is another standout dish. It’s fragrant, with perfectly spiced long-grain rice and succulent chicken pieces that are cooked just right. The blend of spices in the biryani is masterful, offering a burst of flavor in every bite without being overpowering. Beyond the food, what makes Dosa Hut in Aspley truly special is their hospitality. The staff is warm, friendly, and attentive, ensuring that every guest feels welcomed and taken care of. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a smile, and the service throughout the meal is exceptional, making the dining experience feel both personal and enjoyable. If you’re in the Aspley area and looking for delicious Indian food with top-notch service, Dosa Hut should be at the top of your list. Highly recommended!

Brisbane Locals Set to Green Aspley Streets This Weekend

Aspley residents will take part in a hands-on tree planting day this Saturday, transforming their suburban streets into greener, cooler and more walkable areas.

Aspley Locals to Dig In and Green Their Streets in Community-Led Tree Planting Drive

Aspley residents will come together this Saturday to plant native trees along local streets, helping to green the neighbourhood and make outdoor spaces cooler and more inviting.

The Aspley Community Street Tree Planting will be held on 5 April 2025, from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm. Locals are asked to meet at the sportsfield carpark on Ellison Road, opposite Boulter Street near Marchant Park.

Greening the Streets Together

Hosted by Brisbane City Council, the free event invites people of all ages to help plant trees across 15 selected Aspley streets. No bookings are needed, and all equipment will be provided, with planting holes already prepared.

Residents are encouraged to bring water, wear sturdy shoes, and dress for the weather.

Community Spirit and Lasting Benefits

After the planting, attendees can enjoy a sausage sizzle and cold drink, with a free native plant to take home. Council says the event promotes greener, more liveable suburbs, while also building stronger community ties.

Long-Term Impact for Aspley

Council officers say planting more trees not only improves the appearance of neighbourhoods but also helps create more walkable and pleasant streets.

The initiative supports Brisbane’s efforts to expand its urban forest and reduce heat in local areas. It’s part of a series of events designed to make the city more sustainable through hands-on community action.
