In a recent meeting between Senator Nita Green and Mayor Ry Collins, discussions centred on two new $30 million projects in Cannonvale and the allocation of $7.2 billion in funding for the Bruce Highway.

One key issue raised was the prioritisation of sections along the Bruce Highway, especially given that the Whitsundays region has been identified as the most hazardous area in the recent Bruce

Highway safety survey.

This funding represents the single largest investment in the highway’s history, bringing the Australian Government’s total contribution to over $17 billion for the 1,673 km route.

The Bruce Highway is crucial to Queensland’s infrastructure, with an average Fatal and Serious Injury (FSI) crash rate three to five times higher than

major highways in New South Wales and Victoria. It serves as a vital transport link, supporting 62 per cent of the state’s population.

Concerns were expressed that most of the priority sections were named south of Rockhampton, with the Bowen to Mackay area not being named a priority just yet despite being among the worst-rated.

Ruth’s RoundUp

Hi Everyone,

Rach is away for the next two weeks, so I will be taking over editorial duties until her return.

The weather has been crazy recently, and as a Brit, I’m no stranger to the rain, but the tropical storms are still something I am getting used to.

That said, there is something incredibly calming about sitting indoors, listening to the rain, and watching the lightning. It’s a simple pleasure that helps me slow down, stay in the present moment and make time for my housemates. At the same time, it gives me a chance to be productive on tasks that I have been putting off.

I believe the art of slowing down is essential in a world that’s constantly moving at a fast pace. Taking the time to slow down allows me to clear my mind, find clarity, and make more thoughtful decisions.

Lately, I’ve really been appreciating my time at the gym and in yoga, especially Yin Yoga. Yin encourages you to slow down intentionally, as the practice is extremely slow-paced.

Each session leaves me feeling lighter, and deeply grateful for where I am, and for the people around me. It’s become a reminder of the importance of pausing, reflecting, and embracing gratitude.

This week, I’ve realised how much I appreciate sitting with my housemates, Ricki and Eleanor, on our balcony, watching the storms.

I truly think that you can never be too grateful, even for the little things.

Ruth

STELLAR BUS DRIVER SAVES SCRUFFY BEAR

Lost but not forgotten, a little boy’s treasured bear was accidentally left on the bus. The scruffy but muchloved bear named Teddy spent the day on the shuttle going back and forth between Proserpine and Shute Harbour when little Liam accidentally left him behind after riding the bus with his family.

Tony Snape, an outstanding member of the Whitsundays community was the driver that day and noticed the lost bear. Tony returned the bear to the Jubilee Tavern where the family could pick Teddy up after his ‘little unplanned day of work experience’ as Liam’s mum, Shauna, states.

Avoiding a tearful disaster, Tony saves the day saying thankfully to the kind words from the family he was ‘just doing his job.’

Proving that Whitsunday Transit has some of the nicest bus drivers around to keep this well-travelled little bear safe until he could be reunited with his boy.

The Munro family thanks Tony again for returning their son’s bear and treated him to a tipple of his favourite pint at the Jubilee Tavern. Liam’s now keeping a tighter hold on Teddy, and they plan on having many more fun bus trips together in the future.

Priority Sections For Bruce Highway Funding

The Albanese government recently revealed plans to invest in the Whitsundays with two brand new developments including a $15 million Cannon Valley Sports Park and a $14.9 million Cannonvale Community Facility, which the Whitsunday Regional Council successfully applied for funding under Round 2 of the Growing Regions Program.

In addition to the two new investments into the Whitsundays, the Bruce Highway is also getting a $7.1 billion investment. Concerns were raised over the priority sections of the Bruce and if the Whitsundays to Mackay region would be getting the much-needed work done on the Bruce.

This issue was discussed in a meeting between Senator Nita Green and Mayor Ry Collins. Senator Nita Green explained that she was proud of the Bruce Highway announcement.

“It is going to make a huge difference to the people in North Queensland,” Senator Nita Green explained.

“Making the Bruce Highway safer with $7.2 billion will save lives here in North Queensland, and I’m so proud that we’ve managed to deliver that announcement and work with the state government on

where that money will go.”

“The state government, I don’t mean to speak for them, but they have said that they are now going to have a look at where that money needs to go. So, the priority areas will be decided by the state government. They’ve set up an Independent Assessment Panel. I think that’s a good thing.

“We know after 10 years of the coalition government, we didn’t see the investment in the Bruce Highway that we needed to and so I think priority areas like this in North Queensland are crying out for funding, and the state government should listen and should get that funding out as soon as possible.”

“If North Queensland misses out, you’ll be hearing from me, and you’ll be hearing from Ry and you’ll be hearing from local members.

“We want to make sure that these parts of the roads that we know get flooded easily, have become the scene of serious accidents, and are used by tourists, are looked at. Quite often.

Speaking about the recent flooding over the past few months, Mayor Ry Collins highlighted the severe impact of inadequate road infrastructure along the Bruce

Highway.

“It’s not just about the tourism industry; it stopped families from communing,” he said.

“Pre-Christmas, our airport, which is in the top 20 commercial airports in the country, was shut down for two days.

“We had people that couldn’t get to the hospital, so they’re real concerns for communities.

“I think, the win for us here is now we’ve got that 80/20 commitment reinstated.

“So, as Senator Green said, really the opportunity now is for us to highlight the priorities we know in the Whitsundays.

“Here we’ve got two of the eight two-star sections that remain on the Bruce Highway, so I’d say we have got more than our

fair share of substandard Bruce Highway in our local government area.

“I really look forward to working closely with the state government to make sure that our needs are prioritised and that we get those sections of road delivered as soon as we can.”

Nature Strip Residents Express Concerns To Council Officials

Amid growing concerns, a group of residents came together on Wednesday, 8th January, to confront the council over the recent clearing of land around their properties. The residents say that the work was carried out without sufficient consultation, sparking frustration and a call for greater transparency in the decision-making process.

Residents claimed that site inspections and a meeting with Council planners offered no reassurance. They said they were severely impacted by runoff, noise, dust, and heightened distress after the land they believed was zoned for ‘green’ protection was bulldozed, disturbing their boundaries.

Amy Young Smith, a concerned resident, described the Christmas-period work as causing significant stress for her and others. She suggested the situation could have been better managed with more effective communication and advance notice.

“Everybody that I’ve spoken to have bought their property because they enjoyed the privacy and the nature that was offered here,” Amy explained.

“We understand there’s a housing crisis, and we need to build houses, but let’s do that in a sensible manner.”

Council was closed for 10 days during

the Christmas holidays, and residents alleged they closed just as the works started, with their calls to the after-hours number unanswered.

The Whitsunday Conservation Council (WCC) claimed that Council’s planning maps show most of the site is covered by MSES Category B vegetation, offering no protection as local councils can approve large-scale clearing despite significant vegetation and wildlife.

WCC spokesperson Suzette Pelt says, “Under no circumstances can what has happened on this site be considered best practice.

“In a region where the environment is everyone’s business, this Council’s planning is woefully out of date.

Councilor Clay Bauman, who also attended the meeting, stated he understands citizens’ concerns:

“This is something that I have been working for within Council, to find better ways to balance between our natural environment and our urban environment.

“That’s something that I hope is coming across in our current draft corporate plan.

“I’m going to present the petition at the next meeting on the 29th and then I think some of the residents are going to come

up and ask questions from the public gallery.

“I am also working with the planning department, just going through the operational works approvals and how this process was dealt with council, and how we can look at that in future circumstances as well.

called for a cultural shift in the Regional Council to prioritise environmental considerations in planning decisions.

“Within the recent boom and seeking more land, we have had a number of these historic developments that have had stages moving forward, and it has assisted me to see that when I look back at these 2005 and 2007 approvals, there were mentions for protection of vegetation that is not within the current scheme, and that’s something that I think we could look at.”

At an onsite meeting, residents and the Whitsunday Conservation Council raised concerns about potential breaches of approval conditions. While the developer submitted an environmental management plan, residents argued it wasn’t fully integrated into the Council’s approval.

The Whitsunday Conservation Council

In response, Director Neil McGaffin stated the land was residentially zoned, not a “nature strip,” and owned by a developer with long-standing housing lot approvals.

“The subdivision is surrounded by residential housing, and this next stage was recently released by the developer, so that is why the clearing has only recently happened.

“Final number of lots in the subdivision are less than what was originally expected.

“We have received a submission from residents, and a response is being prepared by officers responding to their concerns.”

NO-BALL! THIEF’S OBSTRUCTION OF JUNIOR CLUB’S FIELDS

The Proserpine Junior Cricket Club was thrown a hard ball late in December, an attacking shot that resulted in the loss of the club’s groundskeeping equipment. The thief delt a heavy blow to the community and the club is shaken but club members are trying to move forward.

On the 23rd of December, an eyewitness reported that they saw a person driving the club’s ride-on mower across the greens with a brush cutter on their lap. This was at 2:30pm, so at the time, they thought it was one of the groundskeepers. Only later did they realise this was the culprit in the theft. It was discovered that the equipment was removed from the shed and stashed behind it the night before. The perpetrator took everything that afternoon from toolbox full of socket sets to three different lawnmowers and brand-new handheld power tools.

Michael Hope, president of the club says that they were angry at the start that someone would target a non-for-profit club for children, but that the club is receiving a lot of support from the community. They have received support from the Queensland Cricket Association along with offers to loan equipment from kind-hearted locals.

“It’s sad it’s been taken, as a lot of work went into getting the equipment.”

The club has partnered with Toyota for the Good for Cricket Raffle, where you can buy a ticket to support the club and have the chance to win a brand-new Toyota! All proceeds from the purchasing of raffle tickets goes straight back to the club so they can buy new equipment.

ACollaborating for a Stronger Whitsunday Region

Earlier this week, I had the pleasure of hosting Federal Senator for Queensland and Special Envoy for the

Great Barrier Reef Nita Green to tour our region and witness firsthand some of the transformative projects underway in the Whitsundays.

Senator Green is a tremendous advo-

This year, Council will be hosting Australia Day with a special event at the Airlie Beach Foreshore.

Join us from 4pm as we celebrate Australia Day Our Whitsunday Way, with live music, food stalls and family fun. The event will also include the prestigious Australia Day Awards Ceremony and conclude with a spectacular fireworks display at 8pm.

cate for North Queensland, and visits like this highlight the importance of collaboration between local government and other tiers of government to ensure our region gets its fair share of funding and support.

During her visit, we toured two exciting projects that have recently secured significant federal funding under the Growing Regions Program:

Cannonvale Community Hub – This state-of-the-art facility received $14.8 million in funding and will provide much-needed infrastructure for our growing community. It will feature a modern library, meeting rooms, and spaces designed to foster education, business, and social initiatives while enhancing disaster resilience.

Whitsunday Regional Sports Precinct – Also receiving $15 million in funding, this project will create a premier sports and recreation destination for our region. The precinct will offer multi-purpose fields, courts, and facilities that cater to both local sports teams and

community events, promoting active living and sports tourism.

These projects are game changers for our community, delivering social, economic, and cultural benefits while supporting job creation and regional growth.

In addition to these visits, I took Senator Green to inspect Goorganga Plains on the much talked about Bruce Highway, an area that once again experienced severe flooding just before Christmas. This flooding caused chaos for our community, cutting off access to our airport during the busiest week of the year. The disruption underscores the urgent need for targeted infrastructure investment in flood-prone areas.

The Prime Minister’s recent announcement of $7.1 billion allocated to upgrades along the Bruce Highway presents a critical opportunity. As Mayor, I will continue to advocate to ensure that these funds are spent on priority areas within our region, like Goorganga Plains and Bowen to Ayr, to improve flood resilience and maintain connectivity for residents and visitors alike.

Collaboration is key to achieving these goals. By working closely with leaders like Senator Green, we can deliver the projects and improvements our community needs to thrive. The Whitsundays deserves the best, and I am committed to ensuring we continue to build a brighter future for our region.

STORM SAFETY PREVENTS TOPPLING TREES

While we are in the thick of storm season, it’s important to prepare your trees for the weather to prevent incidents that could put you or your property at risk. Here’s some helpful advice on how to prepare your trees and keep them safe during storms.

Assessing your trees is the best place to start. Consulting an arborist can be done if you are not familiar with your trees or if you need a professional, second opinion. All trees are different, and not every protective method is applicable to every tree on your property.

If your tree presents a storm risk, prevention is better than no action. Starting early in their growth to promote healthy roots and a strong trunk will not only reduce their risk but also improve the longevity and health of your trees. Try not to plan major earthworks around trees this season, as the rain can wash the soil away, causing the roots to loosen, thus uprooting the tree and causing it to topple.

Selected pruning can also strengthen branches. Cut-

ting away dead or broken branches, along with any that are close to structures like hanging electrical wires or your roof, is another good preventative measure. This reduces the chances of branches snapping in the winds, and good pruning at a young age can also make your trees more resilient.

Other methods, like anchoring and tenting, can be used, but if done incorrectly, they can do more damage than good. So, make sure you do your research and look after your trees this storm season for their health, your safety, and your peace of mind.

FLORALS FOR YOUR GARDEN’S SEASONAL TRANSITION

As the seasons transition from summer to autumn and you have no idea what to plant, here’s a helpful planting guide with some growers that do well in both seasons. The Whitsundays is located in the Wet & Dry Tropical zones of north Queensland and the plants below can handle the weather and the heat.

Starting small with some ground cover, the native coleus is great for damp soil, sun or part shade and naturally thrives in eucalypt forests and rainforests. They are hardy, tough little plans that can be pruned into shape and are suitable for hedging and bordering gardens. Their little purple flowers attract bees, and when rubbed the leaves produce a mild lemon scent.

production. Having both of these in your gardens will help them thrive as marigolds also repel harmful pests, and both flowers come in varying sunny colours, so you can mix and match them.

Marigolds and sunflowers, though not native, have been a staple in Australian gardens for years. They are also productive plants for those who like growing edible flora. From collecting your own sunflower seeds or putting marigold petals in your salads, to insect attraction for those wanting help with crop pollination and honey

For a hardy-medium-sized plant, kangaroo paw is a great choice to give levels to your garden. With cute little flowers, from where it takes its name and native to Western Australia means it can definitely survive in your garden. It’s a big attractor of native birds and very low effort to care for, plant it in large groups for the best flowering results.

Get gardening and show off your green thumbs, your native fauna with thank you!

back to school is an exciting milestone, but it can also bring its share of stress. To help your child start the year off on the right foot, here are some essential items and tips to ease the back-to-school jitters:

1. Invest in a High-Quality Backpack

A good backpack is a must-have for students who carry a variety of items, from lunch boxes and water bottles to books and stationery. Look for a comfortable, durable rucksack with adjustable straps and multiple compartments to help organise everything. A well-designed back-

pack can make all the difference in your child’s day!

2. Essential Stationery Supplies

A complete stationery set is key for primary school students. Make sure to stock up on these basics:

• Pencils

• Highlighters

• Pens

• Folders with pockets

• Three-ring binders

• Lined notebooks

• Ruler

• Calculator

• Index cards

• Stretchable book covers

• Sticky notes

These items will not only help with everyday learning but also keep things organized for easy access.

3. Lunch Boxes and Water Bottles

Healthy eating habits start with good

planning. A sturdy, reliable lunchbox ensures your child can enjoy fresh, nutritious meals at school. Don’t forget a reusable water bottle to keep your child hydrated throughout the day!

4. Educational Games and Toys

Learning can be fun! Educational games help promote creativity, problem-solving, and social skills. Choose toys that foster interactive learning and encourage your child’s curiosity. These can be a great addition to their at-home study routine.

5. Scientific and Graphing Calculators (for High Schoolers)

High school brings a surge of responsibilities, from homework assignments to extracurricular activities. A well-organised planner can help your child stay on top of deadlines and improve time management skills. The 2024 Student Diary, available at Brilliant Minds, is a fantastic tool to keep everything in order.

By preparing with these essentials, your child will feel more confident and organised as they embark on the school year. Let the learning and growth begin!

In the Proserpine Guardian, June 30 1972, it was reported that a visiting Sydney journalist had observed that “far too many details of the bygone days have faded in the mists of memories of the oldtimers … and many of these (oldtimers) have faded into the mists of mortality.”

In an effort to preserve the narratives of people from the past who helped shape the future, today the story of yet another of the Whitsundays’ colourful characters is shared – Phillip “Skip” Moody, who held the lease on Daydream Island from 1941 to 1948.

A pioneer of Australian aviation.

Phillip “Skip” Moody was one of 250 Australians who trained to fly and became a test pilot in England for the Royal Flying Corps. After serving in World War One, he returned to Australia where, in 1924, he joined Qantas as a pilot along with Reg Ansett and flew Western Queensland services out of Charleville.

Skip was one of the first Australians to be engaged in commercial aviation. He quickly acquired a reputation as a daredevil through the stunts he performed. In 1927, he flew under the Victoria Bridge in Brisbane. Civil aviation authorities were not amused.

In 1928, Skip and friend, Howard Jolly, planned to fly across the Tasman Sea to New Zealand but the government banned the flight. Instead, Skip took his plane to New Guinea to go commercial flying between Lae and Wau, but that came to a sudden halt when he developed engine failure which forced him to ditch his plane near Lae.

Previously, in 1926, he had drawn a sheep property south of Charleville in a ballot and after his New Guinea adventures he returned to the property.

This turned out to be a struggle, so he rejoined Qantas until 1930 when he returned to his land for ten years. At this point, wool prices had dived so he sold out and went to Rockhampton where he ran an aerial taxi service.

A pioneer of tourism

When World War Two broke out, the military service took over the aerodrome so Skip decided to try island life and purchased the lease of West Molle Island. Due to the war and subsequent lack of tourists, he closed the resort, leaving it in the hands of a caretaker, Sam White, before joining the RAAF in Townsville. When the war was almost over his wife, Helen, returned to the island and was joined by Skip on his discharge from the RAAF. They reopened the resort in April 1946. At this time, Skip unsuccessfully tried to have the island, West Molle, renamed as Daydream.

The Moody’s had purchased the 15 metre ex-navy work boat MV “Jane”, reputed to have been General Douglas MacArthur’s boat. Rupe Wilson, the owner of a baker’s shop in Proserpine, skippered the boat and Jack Stewart, who was the underground manager of the then flourishing Dittmer Mine, used to take tourists out in “Jane”. Because Jack had no ticket to drive the boat, Skip was forced to accompany the trips. (“Jane” served as a cruise boat until it was wrecked at Stonehaven in Cyclone Ada.)

In early 1948, the Moody’s sold to Barrier Reef Islands Pty Ltd, an Ansett subsidiary, and moved to Brisbane. The island had various openings and closures before June 1963 when Orm Foxlee together with local cane farmer, Daly Thomas, and policeman, Doug Virtue, were given a special lease for Daydream Island.

The Moody’s did return in 1950 to start a tourist resort on Hamilton Island but were unsuccessful. Skip and Helen’s era on what is now called Daydream Island, was an exciting time.

Phillip “Skip” Moody died in Sydney in 1978, aged 85 years.

Out and About with Tourism Whitsundays

Ihad the wonderful opportunity to visit Cannonvale State School earlier this year, where I was immersed in an incredibly insightful, educational, and inspiring experience with Wildlife Whitsundays. Tenielle, our local Wildlife Ranger, brought an abundance of show-worthy energy to a captivating and interactive session for the kids at school. The children were treated to an up-close encounter with various fascinating wildlife, and Teneille’s passion for education was truly inspiring.

As the region’s primary mobile wildlife provider, Whitsunday Wildlife offers diverse experiences for schools, corporate events, markets, festivals, private functions, and community events. From inter-

active presentations to hands-on encounters with insects and animals, the options are versatile and can be tailored to suit the specific needs of each audience.

The impact of Wildlife Whitsundays extends far beyond entertainment. The team is passionately dedicated to fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation for the natural world, and it’s truly inspiring to see them making such a positive difference in the community.

This family-owned business is an incredible addition to our land-based activities in the Whitsundays, and it’s exciting to watch them rise to their fullest potential. With wonderful new prospects on the horizon, we are so fortunate as a community to have the addition of Teneille and Whitsunday Wildlife in our region.

Cannonvale Cannons Dive Into The New Year

The Cannonvale Cannons Swim Club made an energetic return to weekly club nights this week. Congratulations to Evie Doherty, Zane Clayworth, Roxy Groom, and Asher Springbett for delivering great performances and achieving notable personal best times during the evening’s races.

A sincere thank you goes out to the dedicated swimmers who devoted their time over the weekend to sell tickets for the club’s annual mega community raffle at Whitsunday Plaza. Their efforts were rewarded with vouchers generously provided by Boost Juice.

The club also extends its gratitude to the local community for their unwavering support in purchasing tickets. Special acknowledgment goes to the many business-

es that have generously contributed to creating the impressive pool of prizes—this support ensures the success of the initiative. The club eagerly anticipates announcing the winners at the upcoming Summer Carnival on January 25th and 26th.

On Saturday, 25 Cannons swimmers participated in the Mirani Long Course Transition Meet, which turned out to be a fantastic day of racing. Congratulations to Roxanne Groom, Matilda Nicholes, and Celeste Orenshaw for earning A Grade upgrades, a testament to their hard work and commitment to training over the holidays.

A highlight of the Mirani meet was the Dash for Cash events, where the top six 50m Freestyle swimmers vied for cash prizes. Congratulations to the Cannons’ qualifiers: Lucas Korosec, Miller Eaves, Jax Clayworth, Isaac Pisaniello, Andie Reynolds, Isabella Pisaniello, Tora Delac, and Charlie Doherty.

Outrigger Whitsunday

Outrigger Whitsunday recently asked the question - Why Do We Paddle? on their Facebook page as a part of the Come & Try program to be held on Saturday 11th. Organisers were excited to welcome 36 members of the community keen to see what outrigger canoeing was all about.

ed. “Our ‘Come & Try’ day was a huge success. We had an amazing turnout from our community and got to meet new people”. Paddlers took to the water in 4 OC6 canoes, followed by a get together and BBQ.

Club President, Kim Dodds, greeted the new paddlers giving an overview of the sport and what to expect in the morning’s program.

“What a great start to the New Year!” Kim has stat-

Exciting Action At The Airlie Beach Bowls Club Despite Setbacks

Due to heavy rain and ongoing delays in the installation of the new hard-cover roof, there was no news from the club last week. However, we’re eagerly awaiting its arrival and are currently in limbo.

This week, Tuesday morning’s Ladies Bowls saw four exciting pairs games. The standout performers were Tony Whitehorn and Sue Walker, who emerged as the dominant winners of the day.

On Wednesday afternoon, 18 bowlers participated in the Jackpot Bowls. The winning team, featuring skipper John Fielding, second John Brown, and lead David Meiklejohn, claimed the winners’ prize, though the jackpot was not won.

Saturday’s Scroungers event featured a thrilling first-round win for Margo Stanley and Cath Remmerswaal. In a close final, Margo narrowly triumphed by a single point over a gallant Cath, who is still in

her first season of lawn bowls. The B Grade final was claimed by Tony Whitehorn.

Sunday’s social bowls saw Rick Galea in exceptional form, partnering with Arthur McManus to secure a commanding victory.

Special mention must go to Tony and Betty Whitehorn, who have become an integral part of the club.

Originally from South Australia, they moved to Airlie Beach eight years ago. Their combined achievements include multiple championships in mixed and open events, with Betty winning the 2017 Ladies B Singles, 2018 Ladies A Grade, and 2019 Mixed Triples, among many others. Together, they inspire newcomers and contribute immensely to the club’s vibrant community.

The attached photo captures one of their many victorious moments at the club.
