Another classic Weipa weekend WEIPA has once again put on a show to enhance its reputation as the events capital of Cape York. The Weipa Fishing Classic had all the Fs – family, fun, fireworks and, of course, fishing. The pyrotechnics on Friday night were a huge hit, but they were topped with an even greater performance to close Sunday night. Chris Hamill won the major prize draw, a $60,000 boat, but he was one of four who walked away with a new boat on Sunday. And three people are off to New Zealand for a fishing trip of a lifetime, hosted by Mark Berg. Massive 12-page liftout – INSIDE
The dedicated Weipa Fishing Classic committee put on another great three-day event for the community.
