Over the weekend I had the honour of listening to Matt Stokes from Whitsunday Suicide Prevention Network (WSPN) speak to an audience of over 200 people at the Mayor’s Charity Ball.

He was on stage to thank the Mayor and attendees for donating half of the proceeds of the ball to WSPN, but his message was so much bigger than that.

The suicide rates in Australia are heartbreaking to witness and one so recently here in our own community was undoubtedly on the minds of many as they listened to Matt speak on Saturday night.

To think an individual would feel so lost and without hope that they choose to take their own life is so shattering and so difficult for many to comprehend.

Despite suicide being so often misunderstood the incredible team at WSPN are doing such amazing work to change this stigma, to let people know that they are not alone, it’s ok to say you are struggling, everyone finds life hard sometimes.

Having such a public platform at the Mayor’s Ball opened

the conversation even further and Matt’s impassioned speech really resonated with me, and I expect many others in the room.

He encouraged us all to connect, for when we connect and ask ‘are you ok?’ or take the time to check-in with others, look for signs that someone is struggling – we may just help save a life.

Suicide is not something that is happening behind closed doors, it is happening to people we all know right here in our community and, while sadly it can sometimes be too late, there is still so much hope.

If you are struggling right now reach out, talk to a friend.

Or perhaps attend a free WSPN sponsored Breathing Class – held weekly in Bowen and Cannonvale these classes are incredible – I know this from personal experience.

PUMP-KIND: SPREADING LOVE THROUGH GIVING

Meet Darcy, a kind-hearted gentleman who generously donates his homegrown pumpkins to the Proserpine Community Centre for those in need.

In today’s world, fresh and healthy food can be a luxury, and sometimes, just one pumpkin can make a huge difference in someone’s day.

Ingrid Ruck, coordinator of Proserpine community centre commented on how amazing Darcy had been for the centre:

“He is well respected within our community, and I think he has been overwhelmed with the response.”

Many community members

rallied together on the Facebook post, which was posted by the centre to thank Darcy for his generosity.

The Proserpine community centre’s free food trolley is there for community members to enjoy and they encourage everyone to stop by and say hello, for a free item or for one of their amazing events, such as the sausage sizzle, Latin dancing and more.

A huge shout-out of gratitude to Darcy for providing the seasonal treats to the community centre. if you could use a pumpkin or some other goodies, the Community Centre encourages anyone to stop by anytime Monday to Friday, between 9am and 3pm.

Airlie Fire Station Officially Opens

Equipped with all-new, state-of-the-art facilities, the brand-new Airlie Beach Fire Station has opened its doors and is ready to serve its community members.

The stunning new space has replaced the older and smaller station that was located in Jubilee Pocket, near PCYC.

With Airlie Beach’s continued population growth, the decision to upgrade and expand the local fire station was in order to better help serve the community, with the old station having been in operation for the past 45 years.

Fourth class firefighter, Jay Steele mentioned how the new station offers modern facilities and a dedicated training room for firefighters.

He also stated that the new location on MacArthur Drive in Cannonvale enables improved response times.

It allows for better coverage of areas like the highway and maintains service to existing areas.

Firefighter Blair Mitchell also spoke about the new facilities and their improvement on response times:

“It means much better response times, we are in the centre of the community now, rather than all the way out in Jubilee Pocket.”

Station Officer, Kevin Tomas, expressed his excitement about the new facilities and how

they will improve the firefighters’ operations:

“It allows us to respond a bit more towards the highway as well, so we can reach a lot more jobs.”

The move will enable firies to get to the residential areas quicker and more efficiently, in turn, better serving the Airlie Beach community.

Senior fire fighter Blake Broadwood explained how the brand new large and open space, allows for more expansion opportunities within the station itself including it becoming a 24/7 fire station.

“It is capable of harbouring a 24/7 fire station,” he shared.

An official opening ceremony was held last Thursday, and in attendance was firefighters and their families alongside special guests, Amanda Camm MP and Councillor Gary Simpson, although the official operations began on Monday 16 September.

The fire station is also looking for any new potential Auxiliary Firefighters that can help assist at the station. At present the station has 11 Auxiliary firefighters and maximum capacity is 20.

If you are looking at getting in the red truck and being Airlie Beach’s newest firefighter, make sure to enquire at the brand-new station which is actively hiring, or head on down to take a sneak peak of the shiny new facilities in Cannonvale.

2024 Footy Tipping Winner

Steve Pilcher from Pilcher’s Mitre 10 Bowen

Congratulations to Steve Pilcher from Pilcher’s Mitre 10 Bowen who won the Mackay and Whitsunday Life 2024 NRL Footy Competition.

It was an extremely close contest, with Steve winning by just one point with 132 points and Bruce Spannagle from the Metropole Hotel in Proserpine and Stacey Gerhart from Leader Group in joint second place with 131 points each.

Steve said he has been watching football on and off his whole life and his knowledge of football plus checking weekly stats helped him reach the win.

Additionally, since entering the competition Steve has tried to watch as many matches as possible to understand the teams and see how they were performing.

Since winning Steve said he has already been bragging to his friends that are also in the competition.

Steve considers himself a Bronco’s fan but being in North Queensland he has started to root for the Cowboys too and watches them play at least two times a year in Townsville.

Although the competition is over, Steve is already thinking about the final.

“I think it’s going to be a Storm vs Panthers final,” Steve said.

“I think the Panthers will just tip them, their consistency and their structure has been very impressive so far this year.”

For winning the competition Steve receives Two Grand Final Tickets, $1000 cash, a one-page profile in Core Life Magazine (valued at $1895), and a full-page advert in Mackay and Whitsunday Life Newspaper.

Well deserved, congratulations – let’s see if you can back it up next year!

Brave Theo Begins His Battle

4-year-old Theo Large is described as an easy-going and fun-loving kid, who always has a bright smile on his face. Sadly, little Theo’s life changed on the 14th August 2024, when he was diagnosed with Childhood Leukaemia.

Theo was taken to the Proserpine Hospital on 14 August, as it was clear to his parents something wasn’t quite right. He was taken by ambulance to Mackay hospital that evening. Theo was then flown to Brisbane by Life Flight on the 15th of August and his treatment began at the Queensland Children’s Hospital in Brisbane on 17th August.

“It will help give some stability and normality to them, while their life’s been turned upside down,” he shared.

Despite the devastating news, lovely Theo still has a smile on his face, and seems to be remaining positive.

The news has been devastating for Theo’s family. As the middle child of three, Theo’s family has been temporarily divided, with Theo and his parents staying in Brisbane while his siblings are with their grandparents in Proserpine.

With the need for the community to rally around them for support, the family, alongside The Hangar Cafe and Bar have organised a community raffle to help them raise much needed funds, to help mitigate the mounting bills for ongoing treatments and travel and living expenses the family are currently enduring.

Every contribution counts. Whether you make a small donation or purchase a $20 raffle ticket online or from The Hangar Cafe and Bar, you can truly make a difference in this little boy’s life. Plus, you’ll have the chance to win amazing prizes, from an acrobatic flight to a thrilling skydive over the stunning Whitsundays.

Family friend and manager at The Hangar Cafe and Bar, Dan Shoebridge, stated that the money raised from the raffle will help relieve the pressure for the family.

Dan commented on how amazing the Whitsundays community has been in the midst of such turmoil, and in just 24 hours of the fundraiser being live, the community had helped raise over $9000.

“It’s so overwhelming, to see the amount of support that everyone rallies together and brings, especially in the trying, tough times we’re all experiencing at the moment with financial hardship, it’s amazing to see people giving.”

Theo still has a long journey ahead, and with the raffle continuing on until October, you still have plenty of time to enter.

“Any funds that come through are extremely appreciated on behalf of the family.”

Help support Theo’s journey and his family by donating anything you can through this extremely difficult period.

The Whitsundays are thinking of you Theo.

Search For Whitsunday Man Ends In Heartbreak

The search for missing man, Joel Pringle, sadly came to an end when his body was discovered last week.

The 40-year-old man was last seen on Monday 19 August at 4.30pm at the Lagoon in Airlie Beach and, when he did not return home, was soon reported missing.

A massive search ensued with emergency service personnel and dozens of regular people all involved in a desperate effort to bring him home alive.

Teams of people scoured the areas he was known to frequent by land and by air, but there was no sign of Joel for almost three weeks.

His last known location was at 6am near Conway Range, the day following his disappearance.

Despite the intensive search to find him alive, Joel Pringle has tragically been found deceased and his death is believed to be non-suspicious.

Joel’s partner Eve Houghton shared the devastating news via her ‘Find Joel Pringle’ Facebook group.

“It is with deep sadness that we share the news that Joel was found late yesterday evening. Unfortunately, he has passed,” the post said.

“We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has come together in the search for Joel – family, friends, and the many people who travelled from far and wide to help.

“We are incredibly thankful to the police, water police, SES, and local businesses that displayed flyers and posters.

“To everyone who offered their support and kindness - your love and care will forever be treasured by Joel’s family and close friends.

A Hub Of Community And Creativity

The Collinsville Men’s Shed could get an upgrade if plans to enhance its facilities with a proposed $400,000 extension go ahead.

Under the leadership of Club President Philip Higham, the shed has served as a vital gathering place for local residents since its inception eight years ago.

store larger projects safely,” Higham explains.

Higham, who has been president for five years, emphasises the shed’s role as a sanctuary where members can engage in meaningful projects, vent their frustrations, and foster camaraderie.

The shed is known for its community initiatives, including timber projects for local schools, fundraising raffles, and casual gatherings. However, as demand for its services grows, so does the need for more space.

Higham is working with Member for Burdekin Dale Last to install a larger shed, which will allow for better timber storage and the installation of an overhead dust extraction system.

“We currently have nowhere to build and

The Men’s Shed has been fortunate to receive substantial support from the mines and the council, which owns the building. With upgrades to electrical systems and machinery, the shed has transformed from a small room into a well-equipped workshop. Higham acknowledges that while running the shed takes organisation and dedication, the impact it has on members is immeasurable.

“It’s absolutely critical,” he states. “This space provides mental health benefits as members connect with like-minded individuals.”

Currently operating on Tuesdays and Saturdays with around 20 members, the shed plans to expand its hours to include Thursdays once the new extension is completed.

Camm Speaks Up On Boat Ramps

Member for Whitsunday Amanda Camm MP is calling on Whitsunday residents frustrated with the lack of decent boating infrastructure in our region to have their say and register their support for boat ramp upgrades.

“We have the highest boat ownership per capita in the state and our boating infrastructure is not sufficient to meet demand,” Ms Camm stated.

“And the infrastructure we do have is not only under par but in some cases dangerous.

“Shute Harbour boat ramp is a prime example of a government refusing to undertake proper community consultation on design and leaving our community with an unsafe ramp, not fit for purpose”.

The boat ramp has been a point of contention for boat-owners within the Whitsunday community since it opened in 2021.

The $1.8 million state-owned structure has been called an “engineering disgrace” and becomes submerged at hightide, with

many boaties calling it dangerous and not fit for use.

Ms Camm is calling for safer ramps with more all-tide access, more trailable carparks, better lighting and security and for more local consultation on design and planning.

“It’s time the government got serious about our infrastructure. Instead of just patchwork upgrades, it’s time to look at the big picture and look at new infrastructure, like at Shute Bay,” Ms Camm stated.

“For the last four years I have been standing up for our local boaties, but this government has refused to listen.

“It’s time for locals to have their say on what boating infrastructure improvements they want in our region and call on this government to make a commitment ahead of the election in October”.

Ms Camm invited the community to go to www.betterboatramps.com.au to register their support.

Music Superstar Johnny Manuel Joins Songwriter Festival Line-Up

Eurovision, America’s Got Talent and The Voice (Australia) superstar Johnny Manuel joins the Whitsundays Songwriter Festival.

Johnny Manuel has an impressive 20year career as a singer, songwriter and musician, and we get to see his skills here in the Whitsundays.

He has recently performed for United States President Joe Biden in New York City and, has appeared on America’s Got Talent, The Voice Australia and Eurovision, honing his skills and building an international fan base along the way.

Johnny Manuel will take to the stage in Airlie Beach for the Concert and Conversation held at the Whitsunday Sailing Club on Oct 12 as part of the festival’s program.

Last year’s festival Concert and Conversation sold out fast with audience members coming from all over Australia to see this

unique world-class performance in a local waterfront setting.

Tickets are now on sale here to see Johnny Manuel and other festival favourites in Concert and Conversation on Saturday 12 October.

Johnny Manuel will also take part as songwriting mentor joining the festival’s Professional Faculty as part of the one-day songwriting workshop open to the public on Saturday 12 October.

Tickets are selling fast for both public events.

Julie Hall Retraction

Last week in this newspaper we incorrectly stated that Julie Hall ran against Amanda Camm in the last state election.

Please note, this information was incorrect.

Julie Hall in fact ran for the One Nation

Party in the Federal election.

We apologise to Ms Hall and look forward to featuring more about her current election bid as a candidate for the role of Member of the Whitsundays in the upcoming state election due to be held on October 26th.

Adelaide Flights Instant Success

Direct flights from Adelaide to the Whitsunday’s started earlier this month, and the flight path has been an instant success.

In just two hours and 20 minutes people from Adelaide can get to the region, whereas previously visitors would have to catch a connecting flight, equalling approximately an eight-hour journey.

CEO of Whitsunday Coast Airport Craig Turner said the new route is making it much easier for people from Adelaide to get here to the Whitsundays and beyond.

“For a long time, it’s been so difficult for people from Adelaide to get here,” said Craig.

“It was expensive, inconvenient, and it was a long way to get here, going via Melbourne or Brisbane, whereas now it’s cheaper, it’s faster, and it’s direct.

“1.2 million people from South Australia can now access the Whitsunday coast effectively and conveniently.”

To display this new route, Jetstar the airline supplying the service, and Whitsunday Coast Airport have been advertising everywhere.

Advertisements in this paper, posts on social media, digital billboards in Adelaide and Whitsunday Coast Airports plus on radio are just some ways the route has been advertised.

Whitsunday Coast Airport are thrilled the Adelaide flights are up and running but they won’t stop there.

“We’re really happy, we will continue to monitor the flights. We are also active in the market to make sure that these flights are

sustainable, and they last,” said Craig.

“Just because we’ve got the flights in, doesn’t mean the jobs done.

“There’s still more to do to make sure people know where they can fly to or from when they’re in the Whitsundays.”

The new flights are great for local tourism and also supplies local residents with another potential route.

“The airport services the whole region, from tourism, visitors, mining, agriculture – everyone in our community!” said Craig.

“The airport is the funnel to drive the economy for the Whitsundays.”

Skytrans Travels To Cairns

Skytrans Airline has been operating a flight from Whitsunday Coast Airport to Cairns for over two years and they want more people to know about it.

Why fly south and spend up to six hours in transit, when in just 1 hour and 25 minutes you can get from the Whitsundays to Cairns, and still enjoy that wonderful tropical weather?

Whitsundays to Cairns is over 600 kilometres and a takes several hours to drive, which is a long drive and too long for some.

The direct flight from Whitsundays to Cairns connects people in Cairns and the Whitsundays, allowing people to fly seamlessly between the two, without having an expensive and longer flight connecting from Brisbane.

In Cairns you can experience the iconic Skyrail, Indigenous tours and white-water rafting, or explore the greater area such as Port Douglas or the Daintree.

During Pre- Covid times the Whitsunday Coast Airport visitors would be 45% international.

International customers would arrive via Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, but they did not have international customers arriving from the north.

CEO of Whitsunday Coast Airport Craig Turner said “People can fly now into Cairns and then straight to the Whitsundays directly.”

“It was strategically important because it opened up a northern international entry point for us as a destination,” he explained.

“We are already seeing more and more international tourists coming in on that flight.”

Seeing more and more international visitors coming directly from Cairns is encouraging and is on trend with the State and Federal Government forecast of international visitation reaching its full strength and pre-covid levels at the end of 2025.

Growing To Give Proserpine Community Centre Gardens

Many will know that the Proserpine Community Centre does a lot of great things for the community and recently the Centre has been busy cultivating a wonderful garden for everyone to enjoy. Five dedicated volunteers, have come together to transform the space into a beautiful retreat and learning ground for the community.

The project has involved volunteers clearing ground, constructing garden beds and planning and creating a herb garden and garden shed.

Coordinator of the Proserpine Community Centre, Ingrid Ruck, emphasised that the garden will be accessible for everyone, including those with disabilities.

“We’re making sure that in between each garden bed there’s enough room for a wheelchair and walking frames to go through,” she explained.

The community gardens will be a way for the individuals to learn how to grow produce and help those who may need some fresh food.

“We want to try and show our community and especially our children, that you can actually grow your own fresh and healthy food, if you know how,” Ingrid added.

Alongside the garden, Proserpine Community Centre is looking at hosting guest speakers. The guest speakers will aim to empower community members with valuable skills and knowledge for successful gardening.

The centre has already had various donations from members of the community, such as two garden beds, tools, fruit trees and hoses.

“Donations such as these, are so important to us, not because they help save money, but because it shows people are actually interested in helping us,” Ingrid explained.

While the gardens aren’t quite ready for planting to begin, the centre welcomes community members to come take a look and learn about soil or even about how to set up your own garden.

When you are next in the area, pop by and see the great work being done at the community gardens and the community centre in general.

Tourism Whitsundays Member Spotlight

Whitsunday Writers Festival ‘Love Letter to Queensland’

Earlier this month Paige and I attended ‘Love Letter to Queensland’ a heartwarming event at the Coral Sea Resort Hotel as part of the Whitsundays Writers Festival. This special celebration honoured the Queensland writing competition that captured what makes our state truly remarkable. The atmosphere was filled with romance and country pride as we settled in to hear the inspiring words of our speakers.

The event boasted a diverse lineup of special guests, each contributing their unique perspective. Marco Renai, the 2024 Queenslander of the Year, moved us with his heartfelt poetry. Andrew Wilcox MP and Dr. Chris Sarra CEO of the Office of First Nations Engagement and Innovation shared their insights and wisdom. Elizabeth Hackett and Dr. Melissa Ashley enriched the evening with their literary contributions, while Karen Jacobson’s performance added a touch of magic to the event.

‘Love Letter to Queensland’ was not just a celebration of writing, but a testament to the deep love and pride we hold for our state. It was an evening that beautifully showcased the vibrant community spirit

of Queensland and the incredible talent within it, leaving a lasting impression on all who attended.

I took many heartfelt moments away with me from this evening, one of which was spoken by Elizabeth Hackett in her own Love Letter to Queensland; Elizabeth wrote, “Love, without a doubt, is the most important thing, love in its romantic form, love in its nurturing form, love born of grief, love born of fulfilling other’s needs, it is the most wonderful of all feelings.” I find myself constantly inspired by the incredible people within our community and truly appreciate these experiences offered in The Whitsundays. It was a wonderful event; well done to the organisers. Contributed by Jade Yvonne, Business Development Executive, Tourism Whitsundays

WHITSUNDAY COUNCIL PREPARE FOR Disaster Season

As we approach another disaster season, I want to emphasise how critical Council’s Local Disaster Management Group preparations are to ensuring the safety of our community.

Council takes disaster management very seriously, and our small but dedicated Disaster Management Team has been working hard behind the scenes undertaking rigorous training exercises and simulations to ensure we are ready to respond swiftly and effectively in the event of a cyclone, flood, or other natural disaster.

As Chair of the Local Disaster Management Group (LDMG), I recently joined Council’s Local Disaster Coordinator Adam Hagy, and our Disaster Management Coordinator Sandra Black on a Queensland Police Service led high-stakes disaster management exercise, “Exercise Tempestas,” on Hamilton Island.

The focus was on preparing our Whitsunday islands for the unpredictable wrath of severe cyclones and deadly storm surges during the summer months.

The exercise aimed to refine evacuation strategies, tighten communication channels, and identify those crucial moments when evacuation becomes not just an option, but a necessity.

In a true show of unity, key stakeholders from across district and state levels came together for the exercise. Representatives from Daydream, Hayman, and Hamilton Islands joined forces with heavyweights like the Queensland Police Service, Queensland Fire Department, and Maritime Safety Queensland.

This collaborative effort also saw critical input from the Bureau of Meteorology, Queensland Ambulance Service, Queensland Health, the Queensland Reconstruction Authority, and the Inspector-General of Emergency Management. Together, they tackled real-world challenges head-on, fine-tuning their responses and solidifying communication networks to ensure no gap is left unchecked when disaster strikes.

Adding to the preparation, the Disaster Management Team conducted a vital pre-exercise visit to Daydream and Hayman Islands the day before. This annual

check-in included reviewing contact lists, assessing disaster response protocols, and making any necessary updates to safeguard the islands ahead of the fast-approaching storm season.

As we gear up for storm season, the Whitsunday Disaster Management Group continues to engage with the community to build resilience and awareness.

Mark your calendars for Council’s Cyclone Saturday in Airlie Beach and Cyclone Sunday in Bowen on October 26th and 27th - just in time to prepare for the storm season, beginning November 1st.

Our community’s strength lies in preparedness, and with exercises like these, we’re one step closer to weathering whatever nature throws our way.

I encourage all residents to take the time to review their own emergency plans, ensure your homes are cyclone-ready, and stay informed about the resources Council has to offer.

Our Disaster Management Team works tirelessly to be ready, and together, as a community, we can face whatever challenges the season brings with resilience and unity.

Stay safe, stay prepared.

Chamber

It’s been another busy time for businesses in the region, with a number of regional events wrapping up and school holidays upon us.

While business owners are constantly dealing in ‘the now’, we also need to keep an eye on ‘the future’.

With the Queensland State Election on our doorstep, the Chamber will soon issue our State Election Statement that reflects the critical priorities our members want to see addressed.

We have invited Chamber members to share their view, and provide impact examples, on issues ranging from urgent road infrastructure, business red tape and regulation, business insurance and affordability, regional housing, utility (water, electricity, energy, and digital) costs and reliability, securing region-

al involvement in the 2032 Olympics, and increasing Whitsunday and north Queensland representation in state government decision making.

The Chamber will be undertaking advocacy work with all candidates and allied stakeholder groups to represent the priority needs of the region’s business community.

We will be hosting a members-only Meet the State Election Candidates event to discuss business community priorities. We encourage other regional special interest groups to hold their own forums with candidates so to provide our community with priorities to meet candidates and discuss priorities.

From People Pleasers To Narcissists

Our work life is an ever-changing landscape – we’re either changing workplaces or the team in our workplace is constantly changing. This means we are constantly required to work alongside people who are vastly different to ourselves.

The workplace is full of introverts, extroverts, gossipers, micro-managers, complainers, high-performers, pessimists and ‘almost geniuses’. For many, this is a nightmare; for some, this can be - and is - highly entertaining. What’s required is awareness, some level of emotional intelligence, and the capacity to self-assess our own workstyle.

Us humans differ on many different levels, namely:

• Personality traits

• Strengths

• B elief concepts

• Expectations

• Life experiences

• Priorities

• Core Values

When differences are vast it can result in workplace irritations, frustrations, and conflict. Understanding we are all hardwired differently helps us realise that our colleagues may not be irritating us with intent – they may just be doing things the only way they know. This tends to help us de-escalate our emotions once we start to realise that our irritations may be our own doing through our own subjective viewpoint.

So how do we all get along? Be smart enough to remain curious…….

Key questions to ask yourself:

1. What can they do that I can’t?

2. How can my role benefit from these differences?

Choose not to focus on the negatives. As the philosophers say, “what you look for you will always find”. People will always irritate us as we can never all be the same. Choose to remain interested, curious, and entertained even! If you are wanting to work with people just like yourself, you will find that team has many weaknesses and gaps. Namely, there will be no-one to do the tasks you don’t like, and no-one to offer different perspectives on critical thinking.

Meet Charlie!

This week’s “Pet of the Week” takes a poignant turn as we introduce Charlie, a 4-year-old German Shepherd. Sadly, Charlie’s journey has taken a sad and unexpected twist after his owner, unable to find him a new home, reportedly dumped him with a backpacker named Manuel.

Manuel stepped in to help after seeing an advertisement from Charlie’s owner, who needed someone to care for the dog briefly. Eager to make a difference, Manuel offered to look after Charlie during this challenging time.

Bowen Community Centre Donates Shipping Container To Men’s Shed

The Bowen Community Centre is pleased to announce the donation of a shipping container to the Bowen Men’s Shed.

In early 2022 Men’s Shed announced that they were desperate for additional storage space and Bowen Community Centre has responded to that request.

The Bowen Men’s Shed is a volunteer-run organisation, and it plays a central and vital role in the Bowen community.

These dedicated men restore and rebuild old and new items for various local institutions, including the Bowen Community Centre. Their efforts benefit the community and adopt camaraderie and support among the members.

The Bowen Community Centre recognise the invaluable contributions of Men’s

Shed and made it a priority to assist these community members.

The donation of the shipping container will provide much-needed space for their projects and materials, enabling them to continue their important work.

Executive Officer of the Bowen Community Centre Stephanie Cora said the community centre is delighted to help this organisation.

“We are thrilled to support the Men’s Shed with this donation,” said Stephanie.

“Their dedication to helping the community and each other is truly inspiring, and we are proud to contribute to their ongoing efforts.”

Two Bowen Locals Celebrate 50 Years of JP Service

On Wednesday, September 25th, a momentous milestone was reached as JP’s and government members gathered to celebrate Mikky and Barry Menzies 50 years of dedicated JP service. This significant occasion honours the unwavering commitment and invaluable contributions of the pair to the community.

Member for Burdekin, Dale Last, joined the celebration to award the JPs with their service awards. Joining Mr Last was JPs Paula Bould and Belinda Finlay who travelled from Brisbane to extend their congratulations to the honourees. Mikky Menzies expressed how deeply their presence touched her, highlighting the significance of this special occasion.

Dale Last MP, began the speeches:

“It’s a great privilege today to be able to present 50-year JP certificates to Mr and Mrs Menzies,” he said.

“This

is something very special.”

Volunteers An Integral Part Of Bowen Tourism

Volunteers are such an integral part of many community organisations and Bowen Tourism and Business is one of those in our region.

The Local Tourism Organisation has 18 active volunteers who freely give their time at the Bowen Visitor Information Centre on the Bruce Highway and the information booth at Bowen’s Front Beach.

During the school holidays the information centres were very busy, and the volunteers were called on in recent weeks to help more than just their regular hours.

Manager of Bowen Tourism and Business, Leanne Abernethy said the volunteers were a wealth of local knowledge and welcomed every visitor with a smile.

“Last week, with so many visitors, we needed some extra help at the Bowen Visitor Information Centre next to the Big Mango and our wonderful volunteers were more than happy to help,” she said.

“On just one day at the start of the school holidays, we had 350 visitors, so we certainly needed some extra help to cope on such a busy day.

“Our mission is to drive tourism, promote destination awareness and provide excellence in visitor experience and membership support.

“We need our volunteers to help us achieve our aims.

“They are Bowen locals through and through and really, we want to acknowledge your service, but also say thank you, thank you for taking on that role of what you do in the community.

“You do fulfil a really important role in our community and 50 years is such a rare event.”

When asking Mikky how it felt to have reached 50 years of service she stated:

“To have served my community for 50 years is an honour, and a privilege not given to everyone, and I am honoured to do it.”

JP Paula Bould who travelled to Bowen from Brisbane stated:

The Justices of the Peace Branch oversees the Justices of the Peace and Commissioners for Declarations Act 1991. This includes handling appointments, ensuring compliance, coordinating professional development, and providing advice and information.

The branch also manages the highly regarded JPs in the Community Program, which has grown to include 3,900 volunteers across over 245 signing sites. This program offers essential access to Justices of the Peace and Commissioners for Declarations for community members in need of their services.

Big Congratulations Mikky and Barry on this fantastic achievement.

“Bowen Tourism and Business is a not-forprofit organisation, and we really appreciate what our volunteers do, allowing us to spend any profit on marketing Bowen as a tourism destination.

“They are passionate, dedicated and very knowledgeable and play such an important role in what we do.”

If anyone would like to become a volunteer for Bowen Tourism and Business, call the Visitor Information Centre on 4786 4222.

Community Rallies To Get Tones And I inTo Town

Airlie Beach locals have taken to Facebook in hopes of securing a performance from singer-songwriter Tones and I.

Many people may know the famous singer for her song ‘Dance Monkey,’ which helped raise her to fame in May 2019.

One particular fan of the artist, Kristel Risteski, set up the facebook page: ‘Tones and I comes to Paradise!’, in hopes of getting Tones and I to come to the beautiful Airlie Beach.

“She’s an amazing artist, she came from nothing, which has made a lot of people drawn to her, including myself.”

“She sings, writes, produces and composes all of her music, what else can you say

about her? When someone as talented as her is in the area, why wouldn’t we want her here?”

After seeing her a few weeks ago in Townsville during part of her Queensland stint, Krystal jumped on the Facebook trend, where fans create pages encouraging the artist to visit their area.

Getting Tones and I to Airlie Beach would be great for the community, as Airlie Beach often isn’t on the tour list for many artists:

“’I’m really excited to bring the community together to support something I believe is amazing,” Krystal added.

“Her music resonates

deeply with younger audiences—especially kids. She’s become a bit of an idol for them.”

“Her spirit is so community-oriented; she rose from humble beginnings as a busker and made it on her own. Many young people look up to her story.”

Airlie Beach community members have rallied together in a bid to get the singer to come to the region, with the beautifully located Northerlies even raising their hand to host the concert if the singer accepts.

Please come and have some fun in the sun Tones and I, the Airlie Beach community are crossing their fingers!

Starting out Oktoberfest on a high-note the band will be also putting on a yodelling competition, to ensure guests leave with sore throats!

Band leader and trumpeter Kyle Eardley, states that Oompah Loompah love playing to regional crowds:

“Just seeing everyone enjoy it as much as we do is really thrilling for us!”

Having played together for over 10 years, and regularly playing in Brisbane at their Mariachi Mondays, the band is well equipped to provide you with a sensational Mexican tequila chaser to draw a close to Oktoberfest-ivities.

“We are very excited; the plan is to try and find the best fish and chips in Airlie Beach!”

Mad Mariachi love playing for regional crowds like Airlie Beach:

“We love playing for regional crowds as they are quite responsive and super curious,” Nelson enthused.

“We also feel a little bit of a responsibili-

ty when, we go around calling ourselves mariachis, because it’s also an educational thing for people.”

The passion and energy of The Mad Mariachi are irresistible and contagious, making every performance a fiesta of joy and celebration, where you can sing, dance and party Oktoberfest away.

Mayor Ry Collins’ first Mayor’s Charity Ball was a high-class evening, with a touch of sparkle.

This year the event had two options, the Gala Experience, complete with a three-course meal and charity auction.

This was followed with the After Dark Experience which started at 8pm and guests could dance the night away in front of the amazing 1RAR band and DJ Cue.

Awarded a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List 1959 in recognition of her dedicated service to the community.

Born Grace Dobe at Ravenswood in 1893, she married Francis Davy on March 28 1914. She and Francis arrived in Proserpine with their three children in 1920. By 1923, their family had increased to five boys.

Tragedy struck on February 23 1924 when Grace’s husband, Frank, drowned in the Proserpine River. He had gone to the rescue of an eight year old boy, Frederick (Duke) Beames who had gotten into difficulties. Frank managed to reach the boy however the pair went under water twice. Sixteen year old Louis Borserini went to their aid as the two of them were going under for a third time. Despite managing to get Duke ashore, Mr Davy did not surface and his body was found about an hour later.

Grace was left to rear their five sons, Doug, Frank, Vivian, Hector and Colin, ranging from a nine-year-old to a oneyear-old. These were times when there were few labour-saving devices and none of the social services to which we are now accustomed. Grace was a beau-

tiful seamstress and used this talent to support her family by sewing for others. She would send her boys to deliver her sewing to customers with instructions NOT to leave until they had received payment for these goods. She worked long and hard to raise and educate her family. Grace demonstrated the skill to survive that belongs to people in times of crisis.

Despite tragedy, Grace remained a woman of great faith and for some years, she was President of the St Paul’s Anglican Church Ladies Guild. Throughout her lifetime, she devoted her energies to many charities – the Country Women’s Association being particularly dear to her heart. She and sister, Jane Ruge, rarely missed a meeting. In 1948, she became President of the Country Women’s Association, succeeding Kath Mazlin.

All of Grace’s sons joined up when the Second World War broke out. After losing her husband so early in their marriage, this must have been a worrying and lonely time for Grace. Not one to dwell on her circumstances, she immersed herself into community work. During the war years, she was associated with the Welfare Association and became a tireless worker for the Com-

forts Fund. Money was raised, items donated and the local ladies knitted and sewed garments to send to those serving overseas.

In 1947, when the Women’s Auxiliary of the Proserpine RSL Sub-branch was formed, Grace was elected President, holding this office for twenty years. Noted for her organisational ability, she was responsible for starting the popular Melbourne Cup afternoons which were an extremely successful source of revenue for the RSL Sub-branch.

Grace was awarded an MBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List in 1959. This was a fitting reward for her tireless work in the community. Her dedicated service to the Queensland Country Women’s Association, St Paul’s Anglican Church and many other patriotic and charity organisations was recognised. The investiture took place at Government House, Brisbane on December 4 1959, the presentation being made by the Governor, Sir Henry Abel Smith.

RSL Sub-Branch

In 1968, Grace was awarded a Gold Badge and Life Membership for her commitment and long service to the Women’s Auxiliary of the Proserpine

Grace Davy, a woman of great faith and a respected resident who was an inspiration to all who knew her, died on May 19, 1981. It is fitting that one of Proserpine’s streets, Davy Avenue, is named in her honour.

The Whitsunday Old Iron Restorers Club Car & Bike show was a huge success over the weekend.

Whitsunday Old Iron Restorers Club

Over 1000 people attended and enjoyed a day in the sunshine admiring the gorgeous classic cars, watching the tractor pull and interacting with the animals at petting zoo.

The Department of Environment, Science and Innovation is undertaking an aerial baiting program over two days between Thursday 3 October and 5 December 2024, weather permitting.

Sodium Fluoroacetate (1080) meat baits will be used to control feral pigs on Conway National Park (Lot 43 on NPW1144 and Lot 1 on NPW1145), Dryander National Park (Lot 24 on AP19346), Dryander State Forest (Lot 432 on AP13946), and Dryander Forest Reserve (Lot 5 on AP19346)

Notices will be placed at the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service & Partnerships office at Jubilee Pocket and the Whitsunday Regional Council offices at Proserpine and Cannonvale for one week prior to each baiting event. These notices will remain in place for four weeks after baiting has finished.

Notices will also be placed at the entrances of the Conway Range Trail on Conway National Park and at Double Bay on Dryander National Park. A Park Alert will also be placed on the Department of Environment, Science and Innovation website (www.desi.qld.gov.au) for the same period.

Dogs and other domestic animals are not permitted within the protected areas. Steps must be taken to ensure domestic dogs do not gain access to the 1080 baits or poisoned animals. Neighbours should restrain dogs and other domestic animals during baiting programs.

Animal Management Inspections

Whitsunday Regional Council Approved Inspection Program

Local Government Act 2009

Animal Management (Cats and Dogs) Act 2008

Whitsunday Regional Council Local Law No. 2 (Animal Management) 2014

Whitsunday Regional Council will be carrying out an approved inspection program in accordance with Part 2 Division 1 Subdivision 3 Section 134 Local Government Act 2009.

The purpose of the program is to inspect selected residential properties in the Whitsunday Regional Council area to identify registration and the number of dogs and cats kept at each property to determine compliance with the Animal Management (Cats and Dogs) Act 2008 and Whitsunday Regional Council Local Law No. 2 (Animal Management) 2014.

The program will be conducted for a period of three (3) months commencing Monday, 23 September 2024 and conclude on Friday, 29 November 2024.

Refurbishment of Collinsville Pool

The Collinsville pool refurbishment is looking great, with new tiling fully installed within the pool. Unfortunately, works on the wet deck surrounding the pool have revealed significant deterioration in the waterproof seal beneath existing tiling. New tiles will be installed on the wet deck but need time to cure before a new external seal can be applied over the top. Due to the unforeseen circumstances, the pool will be re-opened on Saturday 9am, 12th October 2024. We apologise for the inconvenience caused by the delays to works.
