HOMELESS MAN HELPED WITH THANKS TO COMMUNITY
Hi Everyone,
News of the devastating car accident that claimed the lives of two women and an un-born baby on Sunday afternoon sent shockwaves through the community this week, with the outpouring of grief palpable.
As I welcome my own family, who have just arrived from the UK to visit, I can only imagine what Mary Joy’s family are going through, having had their own holiday turned into their worst nightmare in the blink of an eye.
My thoughts go out to all that knew the family and our large Filipino-Australian community who are undoubtedly wrapping their arms around each other this week.
Family is such an important part of life and the events over last week have only magnified how precious family-time is, making the most of every special moment and taking the time to be together.
I am heading on holiday for
the next 10 days and the time I spend with my loved ones has an even deeper meaning. This will be made even more special because I am getting married on Saturday.
It will be a wonderful occasion where two families come together to celebrate love.
With guests arriving from as far afield as England, Adelaide, Mount Isa, Brisbane and Byron Bay, I am feeling very grateful to everyone who is making the trip to be with us on our special day.
To my future husband –thank you for loving me and seeing in me the person you want to share your life with. You make me feel special every day and I am extremely lucky to have found you.
All our hearts feel sad when we see somebody homeless and struggling, especially in such a small community like our own.
Local resident John Burke shared this publicly on a local community chat site when he expressed his feelings after seeing a man sleeping on a footpath next to Flour & Eggs lunch bar.
John posted onto the Whitsundays Noticeboard Facebook chat asking for the community to help.
rived and helped the man.
“Many thanks to Isaac from YWAM, he just arrived getting him some breakfast and arranging some temporary accommodation for him,” John posted on Facebook.
“Isaac mentioned he is well known to him and is continuing to work with him. Thank you so very much to all of you in being so prompt to spread the word and to the person who sent Isaac to help.
Quote of the Week: “To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides” (David Viscott)
He explained that he had been contacting services to aid the man for over an hour, but no one was available. So, John decided to reach out to our wonderful caring community via Facebook.
To his joy, Isaac from Youth With a Mission (YWAM) ar-
“So thankful to YWAM whose hearts are set powerfully to help anyone in need in the community!”
Isaac provided an update on the man and said “We have offered him food, tents, and other supplies. He said he’s good. Thank you for everyone in the community for the love you’ve shown.”

Tragic Loss Devastates Community
Atrip of a lifetime has turned into ultimate devastation following a tragic road accident which claimed the lives of two women and an un-born baby on Sunday afternoon.
The cause of the accident remains under investigation, but it had been raining heavily throughout the day so the road conditions could have played a key role in the unfolding tragedy.
A Queensland Police Services (QPS) report stated that the accident took place at Mount Marlow at approximately 1.06pm when a Nissan Navara was headed east on Shute Harbour Road when it has collided with a Toyota Landcruiser travelling in the opposite direction.
“Two passengers in the Nissan died at the scene, a 60-year-old woman and 35-yearold woman,” said the report.
“The male driver and a male passenger of the Nissan were transported to hospital with the driver remaining in a critical condition.
“Two men and two women travelling in the Toyota Landcruiser were all taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.”
Mary Joy Estrada Dela Cruz and her husband Edgar Dela Cruz Jr were expecting a
child in the coming months and were enjoying cherished time together as a family with Mary Joy’s two parents who had travelled over from their home-country of the Philippines to spend time with them.
Following the tragic incident, the Filipino-Australian community organised a gofundme page to help the family with hospital and funeral costs.
Over $20,000 was donated by the community within three days.
“It is with heavy hearts that we share the tragic news of a devastating car accident involving our dear friends,” read the gofundme page message.
“As they navigate through this profound loss, we hope to come together to offer our support. The financial strain of funeral arrangements, medical bills, and the sudden loss of their loved ones is overwhelming. Our goal is to provide some relief and
show them that they are not alone.”
If you wish to donate search ‘for Mary Joys Family Expenses’ on the gofundme website.
A Sailing Success!
Airlie Beach Race Week 2024 has been an unforgettable experience, both on and off the water. The week was marked by challenging weather conditions, with intense winds in the middle of the week and an unexpected lack of wind toward the end, testing the skill and perseverance of all participants.
Onshore, the atmosphere was electric, with amazing bands, food vans, and entertainment bringing the community together. It was a time to reconnect with friends from other clubs and regattas, with participants and spectators travelling from Perth, Tasmania, Darwin, overseas, and beyond to be part of the event.
A special thank you goes out to naming sponsors, Mt Gay Rum and Ocean Dynamics, as well as many other sponsors. Without their support, and the dedication of volunteers and participants, this event would not have been the success that it was.

Adelaide To Whitsundays Set To Take Flight
The Whitsundays are set to experience a significant boost in tourism and connectivity with the introduction of direct flights from Adelaide launching on September 1st. This new route, developed in partnership with major airline Jetstar, is strategically designed to open the Whitsundays to new markets while providing an affordable and convenient travel option for visitors.
The decision to add Adelaide as a direct destination was driven by the airport’s goal to expand beyond traditional eastern coast markets like Brisbane, Sydney, and Melbourne. Director of Commercial Businesses for Whitsunday Regional Council, Craig Turner, highlighted that this move allows the Whitsundays to reach a broader demographic, with the inaugural flight already seeing strong demand, evidenced by 156 bookings and expected to be fully booked.
The economic implications of this new route are substantial, especially following the loss of Bonza. The direct flights from Adelaide are expected to fill this gap, bringing in new visitors and creating fresh opportunities for local businesses. Craig emphasised that this influx of tourists would not only support hotels and restaurants but also generate jobs for residents, including recent school graduates.
Moreover, the new route offers Whitsun-
day residents easier and more affordable access to South Australia’s attractions, such as the Barossa Valley, Adelaide Hills, and Kangaroo Island. This increased connectivity is expected to strengthen ties between the two regions, making it easier for people to visit family and friends.
Despite the potential increase in passenger traffic, Craig affirmed that the impact on airport operations would be minimal. The flights are scheduled to arrive at 6:20pm and depart at 6:55 PM, a timing that fits well within the airport’s existing infrastructure. The route is expected to attract over 40,000 passengers annually, with load factors projected to exceed 80%.
This new service aligns with the airport’s broader strategic goals of identifying and establishing direct flights to new destinations. The airport has undertaken extensive data analysis and strategic planning to ensure the success of this route. According to Craig, decisions like these are not made lightly; they are backed by rigorous research and collaboration with airline partner Jetstar.
To promote the new Adelaide-Whitsundays flights, the airport has launched a comprehensive marketing campaign. This campaign, developed in partnership with Adelaide Airport, Tourism Whitsundays, and the South Australian Tourism Commission, includes newspapers, billboards,
social media campaigns, and influencer collaborations, all of which are already showing positive results.
Passengers on the new route can look forward to a comfortable experience aboard Jetstar’s Airbus A320, with a flight time of approximately three hours. The airport is committed to maintaining high service standards to ensure a positive travel experience.
In terms of environmental responsibility, the airport is actively working with airlines to minimise the impact of increased flights. This includes ongoing efforts to reduce carbon emissions, such as maintaining extensive green spaces on the airport’s
370 hectares.
The success of this new route will be measured by load factors above 80% and the overall economic benefits to the region.
The airport is optimistic that this new connection will drive the Whitsundays’ economy and is already considering potential future expansions based on the route’s performance.
This new direct flight route not only promises to enhance tourism in the Whitsundays but also strengthens the region’s ties with Adelaide, providing a direct gateway to one of Australia’s most beautiful destinations.
Yellow Crazy Ant Infestation: Treatment Begins
Council’s work on the eradication of the Yellow Crazy Ants has been a long process but this week they have begun more infestation treatments.
In the Whitsundays we have five small infestations in Shute Harbour, Mandalay, Woodwark, Funnel Bay and Hamilton Island. From 12 – 16 August council are working on the mainland ant infestations.
In the Whitsundays, the five combined infestations equal 51 hectares.
It is important to remove Yellow Crazy Ants because they are pests and impact our ecosystem.
Whitsunday Regional Council Manager Natural Resource Management and Climate Scott Hardy said Yellow Crazy Ants chase protein and will eat all the native ants, insects, frogs, lizards, birds and mammals.
“We are actually on the menu!,” he exclaimed.
“There have been reports of Yellow Crazy Ants swarming people lying in bed!”
“If the ants are left to their own device,
they will also eat all of the fauna in an area, and then that can start impacting on other ecosystem processes, like pollinisation. So, it can actually start impacting the ability of plants to reproduce.
“There are also social and economic impacts as well, if Yellow Crazy Ants develop nests in the house, it impacts people’s ability to sleep, has impacts on pets.
“It can also impact on people’s ability to rent out their property and selling their homes.
“Then the larger picture is we are concerned that if the ants get out to the islands, that it may have an impact on tourism.”
Scott urges that if you find unusual looking ants on your property to contact Council.
Bowen Records Record Numbers At The Visitor Information Centres
Tourists are flocking to the Big Mango and Bowen Tourist Information Centre, with the iconic gateway to the town proving to be a popular stopping point where motorists are encouraged to venture into Bowen for the day or even longer.
The popularity of the centre has reached new levels this year with record-breaking visitor numbers announced.
Bowen Tourism and Business released figures this week confirming they welcomed more visitors than ever before during the 2023/34 financial year.
This included more than 51,000 at the Bowen Visitor Information Centre next to the Big Mango on the Bruce Highway and a further 5000 visitors at the Information Booth at Bowen’s Front Beach.
Manager of Bowen Tourism and Business, Leanne Abernethy said the new financial year had also started strongly with 7002 visitors in July.
That is an average of 225 visitors every day.
“We became an official Driver Reviver station in recent months so that has also contributed to our high numbers,” she said.
“People certainly appreciate the free tea, coffee and biscuits and we are proud to be contributing to road safety.”
Leanne said more than half of the people who stopped at the Visitor Information Centre spent a day or more in Bowen.
Chair of Bowen Tourism and Business, Jenn Honnery congratulated the Bowen Tourism and Business team on setting yet another record.
“I’m very proud of the team of staff and volunteers at the Big Mango Visitor Information Centre on achieving record visitor numbers once again.
“Over the past 18 months, Bowen Tourism and Business has invested significantly in destination marketing and we’re now seeing the results of this work both at the Big Mango and in Bowen.
“Most important, however, is the expert advice and friendly smiles each of our team offer visitors, making our Visitor Information Centre one of the most popular in regional Queensland.”
Interim CEO of Tourism Whitsundays, Aimee Cameron highlighted the significance
of the drive market for The Whitsundays, noting the impressive recent achievement.
“Last month’s record-breaking arrival of 7,000 visitors is a testament to the exceptional efforts of the team at Bowen Tourism and Business,” she said.
“Leanne and the team excel in showcasing the entire Whitsundays region, driving bookings in Airlie Beach, encouraging exploration of Bowen, and promoting inland areas such as Proserpine and Collinsville.”

Vietnam Veterans’ Day
This Sunday
Army and Vietnam veteran Brian “Weary” Dunlop is encouraging his local community to take a moment to recognise and support all veterans this Vietnam Veterans’ Day.
Weary volunteered for national service and joined the 5RAR in 1967 at just 20 years old. After training with the 5RAR, Weary was deployed to Vietnam from 1969 to 1970.
After his service Weary moved to Proserpine in early 2000 and joined the Proserpine RSL Sub Branch in 2010.
Commemorated annually on 18 August, Vietnam Veterans’ Day honours the significant contribution of Australian veterans who served in the Vietnam War. The 18 August is the anniversary of the Battle of Long Tan – one of the most significant conflicts for Australians who served in the Vietnam War.
More than 60,000 Australians served in the Vietnam War from 1962 to 1973, with additional personnel from the Royal Australian Air Force returning to Vietnam in 1975 to carry out evacuations and assist refugees in the lead-up to South Vietnam’s surrender. Of those who served, 523 died and around 3,000 were evacuated with wounds, injuries or illnesses.
This Vietnam Veterans’ Day, Proserpine RSL Sub Branch will be hosting a lunch for all members of the community to come to-
gether and commemorate.
“I do hope to see more veterans and locals come together to commemorate the efforts of Vietnam veterans, but really, seeing the community come together for a meal and a chat on the day would be just as special.”

Meet Billie
Billie, an adorable little puppy, was found dumped in a puddle between Proserpine and Bowen on Christmas Eve.
Billie was found by a young teenager who took her in and cared for her until she was nursed back into a healthy puppy. Billie is now a whirlwind, full of love and joy.
Unable to provide Billie with the love and attention she needed due to her studies, the lovely young lady, though saddened, chose to entrust her to Christina at Animal Rescue Whitsundays. Christina has since successfully found a new home for the beautiful puppy.
Billie is one of the many success stories at Animal Rescue Whitsunday. While no longer up for adoption, Christina has many other beautiful animals that come through her centre and need a home. Keep an eye on her Facebook page, or Whitsunday Life’s Pet of the Week for animals up for adoption.
Last week CEO Warren Bunker, Councillor Clay Bauman and I attended the two-day 2024 Coastal Leaders Forum in Townsville.
This annual forum was a vital gathering of elected members, chief executives, and senior officers from across Queensland to showcase coastal council initiatives.
The well-attended forum explored current and emerging issues, identified coastal council-specific advocacy priorities and gave us the opportunity to engage with key State and Federal Government representatives and industry partners, on a range of matters impacting coastal communities.
Economic growth and diversification were major topics, particularly how we can leverage our natural assets to create new opportunities to boost tourism, support local businesses, and attract investment to our region.
The Shadow Minister for Environment and Science Sam O’Connor spoke openly of the LNP’s plans to improve access to National Parks, revitalise island tourism and fast track the approvals process for new projects such as the Whitsunday Skyway project.
This is encouraging news as the Skyway initiative, being driven by visionary tourism operator Elizabeth Hackett, is a project that will transform our region, offering both locals and visitors a unique way to experience the stunning natural beauty of the Whitsundays.
In Elizabeth’s words “Whitsunday Skyway will expand on, and complement current Whitsunday Tourism operations, offering greatly needed land-based infrastruc-
ture and activities for current and future tourism groups, regional residents, school groups, coach tours and other market segments.”
The Project is based around a 1km cable car ride to a summit 430m above sea level, in the Conway National Park, overlooking Airlie Beach and planning has progressed significantly and is now in the Detailed Assessment stage of an Exclusive Transaction Process with the Queensland State Government.
The all-weather cable car will move along at a height of 430m and offer a unique 360° vantage point to the Whitsunday Islands, Whitsundays mainland and the Coral Sea, with bistro, café and viewing facilities at the top.
There are also plans for a cultural interpretive centre, tropical rainforest activities and experiences, a network of mountain biking trails, a luge track facility, and a junior ropes course.
It is estimated that there are a further 12 months of the planning and development approval stage and then an estimated construction timeframe of 24 months so the next term of Government and support offered to the project will be key to it actually becoming a reality.
The economic impact is estimated to be around $40 million of new tourism spending, per year, with current analysis showing that more than 250,000 people are expected to visit the Skyway every year.
The total project development cost on completion is expected to be about $86m.
Fines for not controlling your dog in public places have increased to $806. This includes having your dog off-leash in designated on-leash areas, or if the dog is in an off-leash area,
you must be able to control the dog using voice commands. For everyone’s safety, let’s make sure our furry friends are always well-behaved in public spaces!
Channel Nine’s Dilvin Yasa Visits Whitsundays
Tourism Whitsundays partners with national media to highlight the best experiences our region has to offer. Recently, we had the pleasure of hosting Dilvin Yasa from 9Honey, the lifestyle arm of nine.com.au, known for uncovering and sharing top local gems.
Dilvin’s visit focused on showcasing the fantastic family-friendly land-based experiences and accommodation options available in The Whitsundays.
During her stay, Dilvin spent a long weekend at the Big4 Adventure Resort, which provides the perfect mix of relaxation and fun for families. She also spent a day at the Whitsunday Crocodile Safari, ideal for those seeking adventurous encounters with local wildlife.
Dilvin explored the region’s hidden treasures with Driftwood Tours, including spots like Cape Gloucester and Dingo Beach.
Tourism Whitsundays actively seeks local operators who are interested in promoting the region’s top experiences and accommodations.
If you are excited about contributing to the promotion of the Whitsundays’ unique offerings and showcasing its beauty to a wider audience, we’d love to hear from you. Please reach out to Rosanagh at pr@ tourismwhitsundays.com.au for further information.

WHITSUNDAY SHIRE COUNCIL
A MARCH TO MEDIOCRITY
You, our Council, have no vision splendid, rather a mute acceptance of what is second best. A cold and soulless existence depending on the Gang of Four and their sheer lack of foresight.
The Beach has a will for excellence. Stop worshipping an orgy of average. Stop wallowing in this bog of stagnant mediocrity.
SURPRISE YOURSELVES! ACHIEVE SOMETHING!

“Buy a Pie to Keep Them Dry” Homeless Week Event A Huge Success
Bowen Community Centre is thrilled to announce this year’s ‘Buy A Pie To Keep Them Dry’ event was a tremendous success, raising over $3,000 to support homeless in the community. The funds raised will be used to provide essential items such as tents, swags, and backpacks to those in need.
This year’s event took a different turn from the last, where the Community Centre hosted ‘Hamburgers for the Homeless’, which was warmly received by the Bowen community.
During this event, the staff and volunteers distributed informative flyers to the community to raise awareness about these pressing concerns.
In addition to ‘Buy A Pie To Keep Them Dry’, Bowen Community Centre also launched ‘Pie It Forward’, which allowed them to distribute over 120 pies to those in need.
Stephanie Cora from Bowen Neighbourhood Centre said that making pies is a costly endeavour, but very worthwhile.
“This initiative has been crucial in providing support to our community,” she explained.
“A special thanks goes to Andrew, the Manager of Bowen Woolworths, for generously supplying all the ingredients for our delicious pies and hot apple pies.”
Kelly McDonald from Hillery Group, one of the major supporters, expressed her enthusiasm, stating, “This is a great community program, and we are thrilled to be a part of it.”
“Some of our crew has already devoured the pies, and in fact, we have very few left! They asked to give a big shout-out to the pie-makers!”
None of this would have been possible without the tireless efforts of Bowen Neighbourhood Centre’s Xena Yasso, who spent her birthday cooking up this magnificent storm.
“We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who contributed to making this event a success,” said Ms Cora.
“Together, we are making a significant difference in the lives of our homeless community.”

Festival Village Goes Off-Grid!
Did you know that this year’s Airlie Beach Race Week Festival Village was powered entirely by the sun?
Airlie Beach Race Week’s Festival Village was fuelled entirely by Mobile Power Trailers’ solar panels.
Founder of Mobile Power Trailers Adam Janczyk said people were excited to see the power trailers driving the Festival Village ever since they announced the new innovation.
“Last time when we were here, we announced that we would go off-grid and sustainable, everyone was very excited about it!” explained Adam.
“I took it a step further when I came up here, I said no generators.
“I will run it all off the solar and the batteries and it’s been fantastic.”
Even on a cloudy day the batteries charged up and Adam was ready for a night filled with music, lights and activities.
Adam initially started Mobile Power Trailers through his other business called Pure Nation Solar. In total bringing 75 kilowatts worth of battery and 30 kilowatts worth of solar.
They started powering tiny homes with a device that could supply the house with power, whilst being up to 50 metres away from the home itself.
As the power trailers generated a life of their own, Adam spilt the two companies and now Mobile Power Trailers are powering big events.
Renewable and sustainable power is important to Adam, he has three children of his own and questions what world he is leaving behind for them. Adam, knowing he could make a difference, took the leap and has not looked back.
Although supplying renewable and sustainable power solutions is important to Adam, his passion lies with being able to provide if a disaster occurred.
“Imagine if a cyclone came through and we had these in the yard?” stated Adam.
“Mobile Power Trailers can give you Wi Fi and telecommunication. You can send that message to your mum and let her know you are safe.
“SAS helicopters fly blind but with power if you are in necessary need, you can send
a text message and say, this is where I am. Come and get me.”
To prove that these trailers are capable of aiding people during natural disasters Adam has to prove their worth first. Next year Adam has plans to take the entire Whitsunday Sailing Club off-grid and run entirely off his Mobile Power Trailers. For further information about Mobile Power Trailers or installation inquiries visit mobilepowertrailers.com.au or contact Mobile Power Trailers on info@mobilepowertrailers.com.au or phone 0455 875 965

Eco Barge Cleans Up With New Computers: Grant Helps Tech-Tide
Their Marine Debris Efforts
Two weeks ago, Andrew Willcox dropped in to congratulate Libby Edge and her team at Eco Barge CleanSeas on receiving a much-needed $4000 volunteer grant to upgrade their outdated computer equipment.
Libby requested the grant back in November last year after seeing the volunteer grant opportunity on Federal Member for Dawson, Andrew Willcox’s newsletter, and received it in May this year which Libby described as a “great turn around!”
Before receiving the grant Libby and her team were using really old computers, which are vital to the running of their organisation:
“We do a lot of reporting and send out a lot of emails to our volunteers, everyone knows we need a computer to run, we were running off computers that were so
old and weren’t keeping up with the speed that we needed at all,” Libby explained.
The grant, which has gone to two new computers, has really streamlined the admin side of Eco Barge:
“This grant was perfect, it is so helpful, it’s all about the nuts and bolts in running the organisation and you can’t do it with a slow computer, but now we have brand new computers!” Libby enthused.
Libby herself uses the computers for grant writing and policy procedures, and without the admin side of Eco Barge they “can’t run.”
“We reply to hundreds of emails a week and the new computers just make it that bit faster!”
Upon visiting Eco Barge, Andrew Willcox MP, stated, “It’s important we keep con-
tinuing to support organisations such as Eco Barge in the Whitsundays and I know they have big plans in the making and I look forward to continuing to work with them.”
The Eco Barge team really appreciated, Andrew Willcox’s attendance and for helping get the team the grant:
“I really want to thank Andrew and his team; it really is a daily thank you when we come into the office and it is so streamlined,” Libby emphasised. She continued that visit to the centre, like the one Andrew Willcox MP did are important:
“It’s very important for people to come into the centre and see what we do, once you come and see the marine debris, and the sheer volume that we have, it’s an
eye-opener, this is direct action and you can see it in action and see the plastic.”
Organisations like Eco Barge, rely on the generosity from the public and volunteers:
“If anyone donates to eco barge anything small or large is greatly appreciated, it all helps us go out there and do what we do best which is remove marine debris and protect our beautiful sea turtles.”
Libby and her team are always looking for more people to join Eco Barge: “if there are volunteers that are specialists in admin or data collection, I’m all ears and you can volunteer via our website.”
Eco Barge, now have the equipment to continue keeping their ocean clean and “raising awareness on how each individual can play their part on how to protect our ocean.”

Acting team leader of Proserpine, Bowen and Collinsville Libraries Alicia Mulcahy loves reading herself and thinks it is important for children to start reading too.
“I love reading, it transports me into a new world, allowing me to have incredible adventures and meet fascinating characters. I love to read books about different cultures to learn new perspectives,” Alicia said.
“It’s important to foster a love of reading early to encourage lifelong learning!
“In school, you read to learn, and that can be a little bit boring, but reading is a lifelong skill, so if you’re reading fantastic stories you learn to have a love for it.”
Alongside Book Week an annual Book of the Year Award is announced.
The Children’s Book Council of Australia (CBCA), established in 1945, hosts an annual Book of the Year Award, created to promote high-quality literature for young Australians.
There are different judging panels, and they award a book of the year.
Libraries receive a short list of books, so they can stock all of the books that are on the list, and then the CBCA award Book of the Year.
In the lead-up to the CBCA’s Book of the Year Awards, children celebrate the joy of reading by dressing up as their favourite literary characters in Book Week.
Come to Book Week and fall in love with reading, Stock Image
During this special week stories come to life and young readers are inspired to explore the wanders of books and the limitless possibilities they hold.
Come and be a part of the enchanting Book Week celebrations at your local library! Dress up as your favourite characters and dive into the magical world of reading and start your reading journey.

A LIFE LESSON IN MY GARDEN
Feeling lower than low, after discovering that someone I knew and trusted had been stealing from us for some time, I went to my vegie patch with a very heavy heart.
I discovered three things:
Firstly, Bandicoots had returned. They had destroyed two of my newly planted garden beds.
Totally unsavable. Secondly, when picking what I thought were beautiful red ripe heritage tomatoes, on closer inspection, they turned out to be eaten by caterpillars. I had not recovered the crop after the wind had blown the netting off.
Third and not really vegetable related, my pet turtle of seven years who I had let out of his tank to bask in the morning sun, had escaped from his outdoor enclosure and had run away.
CRAP! (Not a negative word in the plant growing world!)
So, what do you do to keep bandicoots and insects out of your vegie patch? It’s really simple. Net your crop with 25% shade cloth. Weight the edges down with anything you have – rocks, tent pegs or
even branches that have fallen from trees.
It’s a win, win:
Firstly, you have given your crop shade from the harsh midday Whitsundays sun
Secondly, you have reduced loss of soil moisture in our (so called) dry season
Thirdly, you keep out bandicoots and insects!
There are MANY and I mean MANY options for holding your shade cloth in place. From irrigation pipe (cut into lengths, bent into semicircles and pushed into the soil), to 25mm hardwood stakes, to bamboo bent over like you would irrigation pipe or simply use branches from trees.
A very simple but effective way to hold your shade cloth to the structure is to use clothes pegs. They work a treat.
I had let my guard down and I was paying the price.
I had let creatures into my crops by not being vigilant.
And in not being vigilant in life, I had also let someone take what was important to me.
In the garden I see the prob-
lem and I solve it! I found a way to protect what is precious to me. I don’t get angry with the insects – pointless they wouldn’t really care if I yell at them. I just keep them at bay.
So, I stopped sulking and got into action in my garden and in my life.
Re-seeded, secured shade cloth and removed insect effected veggies and added them to the compost bin.
And guess what, three days after my turtle escaped, I stepped out of my front door to be greeted by a very hungry and dehydrated turtle. True story! Who said reptiles don’t love their owners?!
Protect your patch and reap the rewards!
IT’S THE LAST MONTH OF WINTER
While you may be sowing seeds in preparation for your spring crops, it’s also a time when you are reaping the rewards of seeds sown in the beginning of the season. So, with lots of growth it is an important time to be liquid fertilising your crops. Grab your seasol today and give your vegie patch an all important boost

If there is one place that knows about Lawn Mowers, it’s Whitsunday Mowers, the company dates back to 25 years ago, and was bought by Wayne and Sharron Drabsch in 2018.
Wayne, a seasoned business owner, brings extensive experience to the lawn mower industry. With over 40 years as a mechanic and a passion for lawn mowers dating back to when he was 13—when he would take community mowers home to study and tinker with them —Wayne combines deep technical knowledge with a lifelong enthusiasm for the field.
Business owner Wayne explained how the business went from a “little backyard business and developed into something where we service the whole area now, and not just Proserpine.”
Whitsunday Mowers only sells top quality products:
“We do not sell any cheap product at all; it’s got to be value for the customer for us to put our hands on it.”
On their second-hand products the company gives a 3-month warranty to ensure the quality and longevity of their products.
Despite enjoying a strong start during the COVID-19 pandemic, Wayne acknowledges that the gardening market is highly competitive. However, given the company’s rapid expansion, it’s clear they are thriving.
Whitsunday mowers has some new and exciting items coming online, including an all-terrain type mower called the ALTOZ TRX354. This machine is a commercial grade zero turn mower with

Close to 100 people attended the QWCA Bowen Branch’s Breast Cancer High Tea Fundraiser over the weekend.
The Bowen Branch decided to incorporate the CWA’s ‘conversation day’ with a breast cancer event, and it was a huge success. Money was raised through ticket sales and
raffle tickets, and all the money went towards the Breast Cancer Network.
Handmade baked goods were eaten and wine was drunk, everybody had a blast.
This is also the first event the QWCA Bowen Branch has held and the organising committee said they are extremely thankful for the community support they have received.

The eagerly awaited return of the Whitsundays Writers Festival in September 2024 offers an exciting opportunity for writers, poets, and book cover designers across Australia.
In a bold initiative, the Festival launched earlier this year the Whitsundays Literary Heart Awards, offering substantial cash prizes to recognise and honour outstanding contributions to the literary and design landscape.
The Heart Awards’ mission is to spotlight the diverse talents within the Australian creative community while also paying homage to the captivating Heart Reef—a natural wonder found in the Whitsundays region.
Festival President Karen Jacobsen expressed enthusiasm for the awards program, “We believe in celebrating the richness of Australian creativity in all its forms. The Whitsundays Literary Heart Awards are a testament to our commitment to recognising and rewarding the extraordinary talents within our community,” remarked Karen.
The Heart Award for Best Published Book
Cover Design offers a first prize of $1,500 and $500 for the runner up for original design works for books published in Australia between 1 July 2023 and 30 June 2024 and offered for sale to the public.
Book covers in any genre were eligible, as were printed books, ebooks and audio book cover designs.
We are delighted to announce the longlisted submissions for the 2024 Best Published Book Cover Design award:
• A Leaf Called Greaf, designer Rebecca Mills.
• Birdy, designer Imogen Stubbs.
• Courage Be My Friend, designer Rebecca Mills.
• I am the Mau, designer Rebecca Mills.
• Minutiae, poet and painter Kirsten Johnston.
• Mums and Mogs, author and illustrator Mick Elliot.
• The Furphy Anthology 2023, designer Josh Durham/Design by Committee.
• The Skeleton House, designer Nada
Backovic.
• They Who Nicked the Sun, designer Nicola Matthews.
• Those Girls, designer Walker Books. The judging panel have diligently reviewed submissions for the Best Published Book Cover Design award against three selection criteria of title clarity and genre indication, visual appeal and tone setting, and introduction of key elements and design. The longlist submissions are currently under further consideration. From the longlist, a final shortlist will be selected, and winners announced on Saturday 7 September 2024 at the Whitsunday Sailing
Club.
“In a world where first impressions matter, book covers serve as visual gateways to literary worlds. We are proud to shine a spotlight on the designers whose artistry enriches the literary landscape,” Karen remarked. “There is little recognition for our designers and the cover prize is a timely addition to the Heart Awards.”
The Festival is grateful for the generous support by the major venue partner the Whitsunday Sailing Club in hosting this year’s event.

Events in Paris make Proserpine’s links to previous Olympics very topical. Although there are no Proserpinians competing in the current Olympic Games people, from this great sporting town have certainly made significant contributions to Australia’s success in the Paralympics. And there have also been two wonderful occasions when the Olympic Torch relay has passed through the region involving many locals and attracting large crowds.
Alan Dufty, a wheelchair athlete, competed in three Paralympic Games – London (1984), Seoul (1988) and Barcelona in 1992. In London, he won two gold, two silver and two bronze medals and a total of twelve medals over the three games. Upon his return after the London Olympics, one of the largest crowds ever seen in Proserpine welcomed him and saw him drive slowly down Main Street in an open vehicle. At his reception, he was presented with the Advance Australia Fair Ambassadorship, an award he now shares in the illustrious company of Bert Newton, Dennis Lillee and Sir Robert Helpmann, all past recipients of this award.
David Nicholas is another outstanding Paralympian who won cycling gold and bronze medals in London in 2012, a gold
medal in cycling in the C3 3000m individual pursuit in Rio de Janeiro in 2016 and a bronze medal in the men’s individual pursuit C3 in Tokyo in2020.
Amanda Fraser, granddaughter of Phil and Marie Fraser, swam in seven events in the Sydney Paralympics, reaching six finals and winning bronze medals in two. By the time of the next Paralympics in Athens, she had changed sports and went on to win silver in the discus in Athens (2004) and then in Beijing (2008).
Glen Gough, talented local equestrian, was one of the stockhorse riders to perform in the magnificent ‘Man from Snowy River’ segment in the Sydney opening ceremony, and Australian 100 metres record holder, Patrick Johnson, spent part of his nomadic childhood near enough to Cannonvale to attend the school for a short while, long enough to set a new shot put record. Patrick went on to represent Australia in the Sydney Olympics in both sprints and the relay. Can we claim him?
The Melbourne Olympic Torch Relay evoked much interest locally. The flame had to be carried all the way from Cairns to Melbourne on foot. Each runner was required to cover one mile in under seven minutes and was tested at the show-
grounds. They then trained regularly, with particular attention to the considerable weight of the torch. Often this necessitated frequent changing of hands throughout the run. One runner in Bowen even trained holding a water bottle of the same weight aloft. No women were allowed to run - their longest track event in the ’56 Games was only 400 metres. Perhaps they were considered incapable!
sion of nine women in the team of twenty, clearly attitudes towards women in sport had become much more enlightened by 2000. The torch was greeted with enthusiasm by thousands of spectators who lined the route.
One of the 1956 torch bearers, Kevin Duell, was also in the team to carry the Sydney Olympic Torch in 2000 which arrived by train and was then carried around the shire. Less fitness was required and the relay team was chosen from those who had made major contributions to sport and the local community. With the inclu-
With the prospect of the Olympic Games in Brisbane in just eight years’ time, perhaps one of our young Whitsunday athletes could be a future Olympian at those games. You never know!

The Beach Boys are coming to Airlie Beach!
Get ready to ‘Dance, Dance, Dance’ as Australia’s best and biggest Beach Boys tribute band surfs back to Airlie Beach for their 5th performance at the venue.
The band, consisting of five male members and one female, delivers a live performance where every member sings and plays their own replica instruments. Their attention to detail extends to their costumes, creating an authentic experience. The band also focuses on achieving a powerful wall of sound, ensuring their performance closely resembles the original Beach Boys records.
The Beach Boys Tribute band is Will Siska’s 8-year brainchild. The band promises an authentic Beach Boys experience from their performance. Will asserts, “People get a real Beach Boys experience, they can hear the songs as per the records.” Will acts as one of the lead vocalists and on rhythm guitar.
With him is Greg, with lead vocals, Gerry as vocalist and the band’s drummers, Michael as vocalist and lead guitar and Ian on bass guitar.
The crew also enlist the powerful presence and vocals of Anita, who is backing vocals and feature vocalist.
When asked what the band’s favourite song to play is, Will answered, ‘Don’t Worry Baby’:
“It is the first song that the Beach Boys produced which had a big wall of sound and instrumentation and orchestrations.”
“That song has always resonated with me. It has this beautiful feel, beautiful harmonies, and beautiful vocals.
“However, Under the Boardwalk and Kokomo are massive crowd favourites. They just put this energy into the audience that is amazing.”
The band will be flying in on Thursday and will remain in Airlie Beach until Monday. They’re all looking forward to immersing themselves in the beauty of the Whitsundays during their stay. Will, in particular, is thrilled about the experience and has expressed his excitement about enjoying his time in the luxurious suite at ABH.
Coming to a regional location is a different experience for bands who often play in big
cities, but Will said the band love coming to play in Airlie Beach:
“I love playing regional gigs, because the people are very appreciative of a big band coming to the regions, because a lot of bands don’t do that, it can be a bit financially difficult for regions to get big bands to come out.”
“We try and keep prices down as much as we can so people can still enjoy some real good quality live shows,” Will added. Audiences can expect a lot of fun, nostalgia, great music, great harmonies and a great time:
“We always have a good time when we perform and that shows and people just get into it and have fun!”
“It’s About Time”, you head on down to Airlie Beach hotel for some “Good Vibrations,” with the Beach Boys.

Cannonvale Cannons Dive into a New Season
SWIMMING
The Cannonvale Cannons officially kicked off the 2024/25 season with their first Club Night on Wednesday. Despite the chilly conditions, a total of 26 swimmers took to the pool, including three new members: Erik Hinrichsen, Kate Savage, and Ruby Lawson. The club extends a warm welcome to its newest members and their families.
During the event, swimmers who set new club records at the Winter Carnival were recognized with certificates. Zach Trefz now holds the 50M Butterfly record for
12-year-olds. Jacob Bell broke the 17-yearold 200M Individual Medley record, and Levi Smith was celebrated for setting new records in both the 9-year-old 50M and 100M Breaststroke events.
Upgrades were also announced, with Andie Reynolds moving up to the 800M Freestyle, Tyler Bennett advancing to the 200M Freestyle and 200M Butterfly, and Zach Trefz upgrading to the 400M Freestyle. The youngest recipient was Evie Doherty, who upgraded to the 100M Freestyle and 100M Backstroke. Congratulations to these swimmers; the club eagerly
anticipates watching them compete in their new events this season.
Over the weekend, six of the club’s talented swimmers represented the Cannonvale Cannons at the prestigious Hancock Prospecting Queensland Short Course Championships in Brisbane. The team, consisting of Tora Delac, Tyler Bennett, Zach Trefz, Thomas Ganter, Ruby Harland, and Don Algie, was accompanied by Coach Ken Krittenden. The competition was fierce, but the Cannons held their own against some of the best swimmers in the state, securing several top-ten finishes and
Whitsunday Game Fish Club: Celebrating Tradition and Looking to the Future
Established in 1979 by a group of passionate local anglers, the Whitsunday Game Fish Club has become a cornerstone of the region’s fishing community. The club was founded with the aim of bringing together anglers of all ages and skill levels to share knowledge, uphold the ethics of game fishing, and foster a family-friendly, competitive spirit in a fun atmosphere.
Throughout the year, the club hosts a variety of fishing events, including its premier three-day Light Tackle Tournament held every October. Members also benefit from a series of workshops and information nights covering topics such as bait and lure rigging, tackle setup, boat handling, safety, and strategies for finding local fish species.
The club emphasizes the importance of sharing knowledge, particularly with young and novice anglers, as they represent the future of game fishing. A portion of the membership fees is allocated to
FISHING
governing bodies such as the Game Fish Association of Australia (G.F.A.A) and the Queensland Game Fish Association (Q.G.F.A). These contributions support research and development, providing valuable data to State and Federal Governments to ensure sustainable fishing practices for future generations.
In addition to its educational efforts, the club supports the game fish tagging program. This initiative collects crucial data on fish migration, growth rates, spawning patterns, and overall fishery health. This research has been instrumental in eliminating destructive fishing practices like longlining, drift nets, and super trawlers from Australian waters.
The club is also committed to promoting junior and women’s participation in game fishing. Events such as the Sweeties and Squires Rally, which takes place over the Australia Day holiday, are dedicated exclusively to women and junior boys
and girls, with men serving as crew members. These competitions aim to foster enthusiasm and inclusivity in the sport.
Game fishing has evolved from its early days of indiscriminate capture to a focus on sustainable practices and enjoyment of the sport. Catch-and-release techniques, such as tagging or measuring and releasing fish, are now standard practices, helping to ensure the health of the fishery for future generations. Recently, the Whitsunday Game Fish Club held its Annual General Meeting and proudly inducted Stacey Gerhart as a Life
numerous personal bests.
Special congratulations go to the swimmers who secured the following placements: Tyler Bennett finished 7th in the 50M Freestyle, Zach Trefz took 9th in the 100M Backstroke and 10th in the 50M Backstroke, and Tora Delac placed 10th in the 50M Breaststroke.
As the season progresses, the Cannonvale Cannons are eager to build on these successes and continue making waves in the pool.
