Mayor of Mission Beach:
We All Take Care of Each Other Here

MOTOCROSS RACING ACTION IN TULLY SPORT
MORE than 600 residents of Mission Beach and surrounding towns gathered at Castaways, Mission Beach last Sunday to rally behind the efforts to raise over $15,000 for the orphaned children of Gemma Cosgrave, 37, and Steven Arthur, 34, who were killed in a head-on collision with a truck on the Bruce Highway near Cardwell on Tuesday, June 4. As a relative newcomer to this part of Australia, I’ve come to believe that the best time to
come to the Cassowary Coast is not a matter of the time of year or whether it’s sunny or rainy. The best time to come is during one of these occasions when you get to witness the beauty of how the community comes together when one or more of its own is vulnerable and needs support. In this case, the members who need support go by the names Phoenix, only seven years old, and his eight-month-old brother, Jackson.
Paul Roxby, the man referred to as “the unofficial mayor of Mission Beach” said it best as the emcee for the fundraiser: “Mission Beach, I’ve been here since ‘87 and the reason why I’m here and the reason why I stay here is we look after our own. We stick up for each other and get behind each other and we make this place a community. It’s not just a tourist resort. It’s a community.” CONTINUES PG3
