Our homes in Fassifern

After a number of years of renting halls, The Salvation Army in Boonah and Kalbar was large enough in numbers to require its own premises. A hall was built in Boonah and opened in 1892, however, a fire in 1924 destroyed the building (thanks goes to the proprietor of the Australian Hotel who went in and saved the flag and drum!) The old Boonah hall was sold in 1991 and The Salvation Army moved to its current location in Park Street. In Kalbar, the hall in the centre of town was built on land given to the Army as a thank-you offering by Carl Rieck for the remarkable conversion of his son.
