Tanya McIver –
After Year 10 at Mundubbera, I went on to Ipswich Girls Grammar for Years 11 and 12. Then went to Lorraine Martin College, Brisbane for 12 months and came out with a Diploma of Tourism and Travel. Unfortunately jobs in the travel industry were few and far between, so I worked as a receptionist/typist for a mining company in Queen Street, Brisbane for 3 years, until I was retrenched.
Next job was at Eagle Farm, Brisbane as a receptionist/typist for an International Distribution Company, which sold everything from tissues to packing tape. Worked there for almost 2 ½ years, then resigned and moved back to Mundubbera with my boyfriend Andrew to work in the Council Office. We lived on Mum and Dad’s property and I worked at the Council for just over 9 years, working with Rates, Cemetery records, Accounts Receivable and town promotions. During this time in Mundubbera, Andrew and I were married on 14 February 2004.
Resigned from Council in late 2004 and Andrew and I moved to Gympie. I worked in Office Administration/Reception for an abattoir, which certainly taught me a lot! July 2005 saw us moving to Burrum Heads where we have bought the General Store, Newsagency and Post Office This is where we still live, and hope to stay for a few years.
We have no children, Andrew does, so I have two stepchildren, Rebecca and Trent and we have our dog Minty, who is almost human. atj04@optusnet.com.au



Peta-Anne (McNaught) Stoker -
After leaving Mundubbera State School in Year 7, Peta-Anne moved with her family to spend the rest of her school years growing up on a farm outside Gympie. She attended St Patricks College and then went on to study a Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Education at Griffith and Queensland Universities. After graduating from University in 1993, she left Australia to travel overseas and lived and worked in the UK, Europe, Ireland, Africa and the Middle East for 5 years. While working in Scotland she met her husband David and they got married in 1996. They worked and travelled together for a few years and eventually ended up back in Australia. David is a financial account and works for a IT company on the Gold Coast and Peta-Anne is an Environmental Education Officer who works for councils in South-East Queensland. They currently live in Victoria Point on the Brisbane's Bayside and have one little boy called Callum who is two years old.

Liam Payne –
After finishing year 10 at Mundubbera, I went to Rocky Grammar for years 11 & 12, followed by a year at home on the property, during which I applied for a 2 year Assoc. Diploma (stock & Meat Inspection) at Gatton College. I started at Gatton in 1990. After a fairly quite year in Eidsvold, Gatton College was great!!! Parties every night of the week etc – don’t know how I passed actually. After graduating, I came home again for a few years until 1994 when I went to the US for 12 months on a agriculture exchange program. More fun/ partying etc. (as you do at that age!!) Got to see a fair bit of the ‘States, Canada and Alaska.’ I came home in Feb ’95.
In 1996, we (ie parents & I ) purchased “Kerwee” a 15500 acre cattle property between Eidsvold and Mt Perry. I moved to Kerwee to live about 1999 and have been there ever since. In Nov, 2001, I met my Fiancé Trudie. She moved in last year and we are planning to marry in October this year. And that’s about it!!!
