T

he Whitsunday community has been rocked by a spike in road accidents over the past six weeks, with five fatalities across the Mackay and Whitsunday region,

four of which occurred in the Whitsundays.

This comes off the back of a wider eight-month period of fatal accidents that have claimed 10

lives in the region to date, almost half locally within the last two months.

Note Every person you see was very special, they had loved ones whose lives will never be the same again and futures that will now remain untold.

We chose to put their faces up on the front page of the paper this week as a reminder to everyone in the community to be careful each time we get into our vehicles.

Driving is often a bit like walking – we jump in the car and run on auto-pilot – accelerating, braking, and turning is all done without us really realising what we are doing.

Meanwhile we are planning our days in our head, daydreaming about future holidays and assuming we will inevitably arrive at our destination.

I can put my hand up and say that I am a car-driving daydreamer; I will pass friends waving at me enthusiastically and not even notice they’re there, I will travel for long periods without remembering anything about how I got there.

The tragic events on the roads recently have reminded me not only about how fragile life is and how quickly it could all be taken away, but also that it is vitally important to pay attention when driving.

One mistake, one lapse in concentration, one chance overtake gone wrong, and any one of us could be the reason our own loved ones are crying that night.

Let’s pay attention to our own driving but also look out for others, check they are ok to drive and never take unnecessary risks with our own driving.

My own uncle died in a headon collision with a truck when he was on his way to play golf one morning, he was only 27 years old.

The truck driver had fallen asleep at the wheel and this one lapse meant that my uncle’s two young children grew up without their father.

E

very parent’s nightmare is a sick kid vomiting in the car, not only is the child unwell, but the car’s interior is at risk of smelling like vomit for several years afterwards.

Mum of three, Crissy Bottrell, almost experienced this first-hand last week when she rushed to Cannonvale State School last week to pick up her youngest daughter who was sick and vomiting.

Once in the car, it became very clear that her daughter was still in the throes of sickness, so Crissy instantly pulled over and let her daughter out of the vehicle so she could vomit outside.

Sitting on the curb, the young girl was clearly struggling while her mother comforted her the best she could, wishing she’d had more warning and could have been better prepared.

It was at that moment that she looked up and saw a man walking towards them proffering a pile of helpful items that would make her daughter a lot more comfortable.

“He came over to us with spare vomit bags, a cold bottle of water and cloths to wash her face,” said Crissy.

“It was incredible to think that he had all these items to hand so quickly – what a hero!

“The spare vomit bag he gave us came in particularly useful as she needed it a few minutes into the drive after we left!

“We are very grateful for his kindness, and it shows how people in our community are selfless without a second’s thought.”

If you see someone struggling do you pull over to help them out?

Region Marks Fifth Road Fatality In Six Weeks A

BY BRONTE HODGE

cross Queensland to date this year, 170 lives have sadly been lost on Queensland roads, with 10 deaths alone occurring in the Mackay and Whitsunday area, five of which occurred in the past six weeks.

The most recent traffic accident took place last Friday evening, just south of Glen Isla Road, where a 74-year-old Proserpine man’s ute collided with a truck travelling in the opposite direction.

Less than a month earlier, Oscar Jensen, a 24-year-old Gregory River man, tragically died when his ute left the road on Dingo Beach Road.

Then, on July 11, 47-year-old Proserpine man, Gavin Hussey, tragically passed away when his vehicle collided with a truck travelling in the opposite direction on Shute Harbour Road.

On the same day, Bentley Parsgaard, a 50-year-old Townsville man, was the passenger in a vehicle that collided with a coal train west of Bowen, and he died at the scene.

Prior to this, the community mourned the news that a 29-year-old Mackay woman died after the vehicle she was travelling in rolled on the Bruce Highway at St Lawrence.

Detective Inspector Emma Novosel spoke to the community on July 20, saying:

lost has an enormous impact on the families, community, workplaces and responding emergency services,” he explained.

“The loss of one life on our roads is tragic, but the fact that we’ve lost four in the space of ten days is a great concern.”

“Drive with patience, if you are planning to drink, plan not to drive, avoid driving tired in all circumstances and finally, drive to the conditions.”

“We’re just urging drivers to make good choices,” she said.

While investigations are still ongoing as to the cause of the accidents, Senior Constable Bradley Cunningham of the Bowen Highway Patrol said most accidents boil down to the Fatal Five: speeding, drink driving, seatbelts, distraction, and fatigue.

Sam Kissier, the life partner of Gavin Hussey, who tragically lost his life on July 11 said she was devastated to hear that even more people had died on local roads.

“People are not paying attention when driving, we hear it all the time when we pull someone over,” he said.

“Next week is Road Safety Week, with Operation Saturation taking place across the region.

“I’d never want to see any other family go through this, it’s so tragic to see it happen again,” she said.

“No matter if you see us or not, our patrol officers will be across the district, ensuring safe driving.”

Family of Oscar Jensen, who tragically lost his life in July, held a touching memorial on the family property, celebrating a beautiful life lost.

“I know how they are feeling because it happened to me and my family.

Senior Constable of the Mackay Crime Prevention Unit, Stephen Smith said by their nature, crashes happen unexpected- “When I read about the other deaths it ly and very quickly. Lives can be changed took me right back and I relived the whole forever and permanently. Every single trip, experience again, it was so sad.”

drivers must be alert.

Ms Kissier said that Gavin had fallen “Every single traffic crash where a life is asleep at the wheel and warns other road

users about the dangers of fatigue.

“He suffered from undiagnosed sleep apnoea,” she said.

“And I told him to go to the doctor about it, but he didn’t.”

“We all need to drive safely, look out for each other and look for signs, take a break if you feel tired.”

The event was held to address housing issues and develop solutions to issues that were identified at the Greater Whitsunday Housing Roundtable which was held in December last year.

Member for Whitsunday, Amanda Camm MP also attended the event and said she was thrilled to see such united forces come together to support such an important issue in the region.

Whitsunday Regional Council Mayor Julie Hall attended the event and said the Housing Summit was a much-needed collaboration to find solutions to address gaps in our current housing system.

“Collaboration is key to unlocking new housing stock, and this Summit provides opportunities for public-private partnerships to form which will be essential to apply for State and Federal funding in the affordable housing space,” Mayor Hall said.

“While council itself is not an accommodation provider, we understand we have a role to play in supporting new housing supply from a facilitation perspective, applying our planning scheme appropriately, incentivising where appropriate, and potentially allocating land for social and affordable housing development,” she said.

“The problem is complex and multi-faceted with no quick fixes, but the Summit is a starting point, and we will build an action plan with many sub-projects coming out of the Summit, where some actions have

Bowen Bands Together With Hamburgers For Homelessness

Aurizon Rail Freighters kicked off the event with big donations to the cause. Photo credit: Bronte Hodge

W

ith National Homelessness Week underway, the Bowen Neighbourhood Centre completed their annual Hamburgers for Homelessness last Thursday.

The annual event sees community members buy a hamburger, with all funds raised going towards supporting homeless people in Bowen.

According to the 2021 Census, nearly one on 200 people in Australia were homeless on Census night, with more than 122,494 people estimated to be homeless.

Bowen Neighbourhood Centre aims to tackle these statistics locally by hosting this annual event.

On the day, rail freight company Aurizon, kicked off the pre-orders, with a $200 donation for their staff who were hand-delivered these tasty treats.

Whitsunday Mayor Julie Hall and Councillor Michelle Wright attended the event and were put to work cutting onions and flipping burgers.

A total of 302 hamburgers were cooked by the dedicated volunteers on the day.

The event was championed by Lauren Moxham, of Community Connect, who works closely alongside other organisations to tirelessly source permanent and temporary housing for Bowen locals

“That was triple what we’ve ever done before,” explained Stephanie Cora, the Executive Officer of the Bowen Neighbourhood Centre.

The funds raised from Hamburgers for Homelessness will go towards material aid for people affected by homelessness, and include the purchase of tents, swags, radios, phones, and powerbanks.

“We also had resources and brochures available which included statistic on state homelessness.

“It’s not just low-income earners any more, we’re seeing professionals and middle-income earners too.”

T

he Whitsundays have lost one of its most charming and compassionate community members earlier this month when Janelle Casey passed away peacefully surrounded by close friends and her much-loved husband, Phil.

Most well-known as the owner of Flower Hut, Janelle spent 20 years bringing people joy through her exceptional eye for flower design and styling.

During this time, she nurtured a close-knit team of dedicated staff who became like family to her.

Originally from Plimmerton, on the North Island of New Zealand, Janelle trained in traditional floristry at the age of 16.

She first met her husband Phil when they were just 10 years old, but fate led them in separate directions for many years.

“We didn’t meet again until 1989 when she came to my resort to have lunch with her nephew,” reminisces Phil.

“We started talking that day, but it took us about two years to get together.”

Whitsunday residents in the Airlie Beach and Cannonvale region can collect their script from LiveLife Pharmacy Cannonvale or arrange to have the script Express delivered to you anywhere in Australia.

bats homelessness in a myriad of avenues, by providing services such as hot meals, hot shower, toiletries, emergency and food relief, laundry facilities, and assisting with travel to relocate.

Phil said it wasn’t until 1996 that Janelle “finally decided I was worth keeping!” and they were married.

Together, the couple embarked on many adventures, most notably sailing their 44foot yacht in a regatta with 32 other vessels from New Zealand to Tonga in 1994.

and Vanuatu, before sailing to Brisbane and then Hamilton Island where they spent three years running an ice-cream parlour and then a seafood restaurant.

In 2001 they decided t o venture over to the mainland where Janelle re-discovered a passion for floristry, infusing a dedication to perfection with creative flair to make incredible floral displays that are her legacy.

During this time, she met Sophie Hodgetts who became like a daughter to her.

“I was very lost at the time and Janelle always knew what you needed” said Sophie who became an apprentice at Flower Hut and worked for Janelle for nine years.

“She had a very big heart, but you had to earn her trust, respect and friendship.

“She was like my Miranda Presley from Devil Wears Prada – always telling us to stand up straight, present ourselves properly as we were a reflection of her.”

Phil also recalls Janelle’s dedication to presentation – “she was always a lady and liked to do everything properly,” he said.

The expedition became infamous when a fluke storm hit the group of yachts, sinking eight.

Janelle is survived by “wonderful friends that looked after her to the end”, her much-loved husband, her two step-sons, two nephews and nieces and her sister.

Fortunately, Janelle and Phil lived to tell the tale and went on to spend time in Fiji

Friends will be informed of a date for the memorial service next month.

Collinsville Students Inspired By Renewable Energy

Collinsville State High School students loved the two-day renewable energy workshop.

A

group of Collinsville State High School students have just experienced an exciting and educational two-day future-focussed workshop delivered by the education arm of the Queensland Resources Council (QRC).

The event deep dived into renewable energy, offering students insights into the subject and practical tasks to put their new knowledge to the test.

About 60 students from the Year 7 and 8 cohort participated in the action-packed Queensland Minerals and Energy Academy (QMEA) initiative which offered an unparalleled educational experience exploring the fundamentals of renewable energy.

Day one saw the Year 7 students explore how solar energy is used to power hydrogen cars in the ‘Energy: The Inside Story’ workshop.

Students experimented with different blades to see which turbine performed best. Photo supplied

“Students discovered the fundamentals of using solar energy to power a reversible fuel cell,” explained (QRC) Director of Skills, Education and Diversity, Ms Katrina-Lee. Year 8 students were then tasked with identifying the optimal configuration of wind turbines for different wind conditions and Collinsville State High School Principal, Anna Reeves, said it was a very informative workshop.

All students were given model-scale wind turbines to construct themselves and invited to explore three different fan blade options by applying critical thinking and trial and error to determine how surface area and angle affects the efficiency of wind turbines.

“This helped them make insightful connections between their science curriculum and real-world applications and intro-

duced them to the critical role renewable energy will play in a sustainable future, and how individuals can shape tangible outcomes,” Mrs Reeves said.

The event was sponsored by Ark Energy who are the driving force behind an initiative to turn 180,000 acres of grazing property near Collinsville into a multi-purpose site that will create 3,000 megawatts of wind and solar renewable energy.

It is estimated that the project will generate at least $1 billion of economic activity in the region and more than 350 jobs during construction.

As a financial sponsor of the local school’s renewable energy workshop last week, Ark Energy are hopeful to have inspired the next generation of scientists who may one-day benefit even further by enjoying a long career in the sector.

All tasks completed during the event centred around science, technology, engineering, and maths (STEM), and Senior Development Manager Ark Energy’s Collinsville Green Energy Hub, Ms Trina Jensen said students enjoyed the interactive sessions.

“Working collaboratively, they looked at energy generation, distribution and planning as they use diced and problem-solving to create their own unique Energy Plan for 2050, based on real-world challenges and opportunities,” Ms Jensen said.

“It’s a fantastic opportunity for students to use exciting game theory to gain a comprehensive understanding of Queensland and Australia’s energy market, analysing dynamic aspects such renewable energy targets, peak demand forecasts and energy contracts.”

Domestic Violence

Car Theft

On August 8, a 37-year-old Mackay woman was arrested and charged with two counts of breaching a protection order and one count of common assault in relation to actions she took against a person’s neighbour. She will appear in court.

On the evening of August 12, a white 2004 model Toyota Landcruiser was stolen from a large rural property on the Bruce Highway in Guthalungra.

On August 11 at about 11pm, a 43-yearold Brisbane man was arrested for breaching a protection order and public nuisance offences within a safe night precinct due to his behaviour towards another person.

Grievous Bodily Harm A 21-year-old Cannonvale man has been arrested for an alleged assault on August 14.

The alleged attack occurred at 3.10am on August 14, when the 21-year-old approached a 23-year-old Bungalow man.

The Bungalow man sustained life threatening injuries and was airlifted to Townsville, where he remains in a serious condition.

The 21-year-old has been charged with grievous bodily harm and appeared in Bowen Magistrates Court earlier this week.

The registration number for the vehicle is 455 CY6.

Search Warrant On August 12, police executed a search warrant on a Cannonvale address.

Police allege they located a large quantity of dangerous drugs including cocaine, amphetamines, ketamine, MDMA, GHB, as well as cannabis and cannabis plants. Police also located a replica handgun.

The 34-year-old male resident was arrested for drug offences and will appear in court.

Awards Welcome Bowen And Collinsville Best Business Categories

T

his year, for the first time, the Whitsunday Tourism Awards will be introducing two new region-specific categories into the mix.

This follows the recent announcement that the Bowen Best Business Award and Collinsville Business of the Year Award will be featuring in the upcoming 2023 event which is due to be held at the Proserpine Entertainment Centre in October.

Backed by sponsorship from Bowen Tourism and Business, these awards celebrate businesses that are not necessarily tourism related but interact with the tourism industry.

Chair of Bowen Tourism and Business, Jenn Honnery, said the organisation was proud to sponsor the business awards as part of the Whitsunday Tourism Whitsundays awards this year.

“We have more than 200 members and many of those are non-tourism businesses,” she said.

“We believe that tourism is everybody’s business.”

“Some of our visitors come to Bowen for the entire winter every year. They get their haircut, go out for dinner, buy new clothes, get their car serviced, their caravan fixed, and their pet groomed.

“The businesses providing these goods and services are complimenting the tourism industry.”

Rick Hamilton, CEO of Tourism Whitsundays said the Whitsunday Tourism Awards shine a light on the whole region.

“The addition of a Bowen, Collinsville and Proserpine Business of the Year Award presents a remarkable opportunity for all businesses in these townships to be spotlighted at the region’s biggest awards night.”

Submissions for these categories close August 21, so Bowen and Collinsville businesses are urged to put their applications in soon.

The link for the submissions can be found on the Bowen Tourism and Business Facebook page.

Manager of Bowen Tourism and Business, Leanne Abernethy said this was about including all types of businesses.

“We encourage all Bowen and Collinsville businesses to nominate for these awards, even if the business is not directly involved with the tourism industry,” she said.

Bowen Tourism and Business wins big at the 2022 Whitsunday Tourism awards, and the team encourage all businesses to apply.

s we head into mid-August, preparations are well underway for the much-awaited Cape Edgecumbe Walking Trail upgrades which are due to commence shortly.

The first stage of the upgrade will start at Murray Bay Road and stretch to Rose Bay Lions Lookout and Mother Beddock Rock. These initial works are set to take place between the 4th of September and early October.

The second phase is due to commence on the 2nd of October at the Horseshoe Bay end of the trail, and is estimated to be completed by late November.

The Cape Edgecumbe Trail is walked by many locals and tourists alike, and for this reason it is imperative that we set the time aside to upgrade the weathered sections to restore safe access for all.

Works will include repairing the eroded sections, adding new drainage, handrails and wayfinding signage, and the replacement of damaged steps with pre-cast concrete steps. We will also be widening the track to a minimum of 1.2m, with short sections widened to 2m to allow resting places and passing points.

The project has been funded by the Commonwealth Governments Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program.

Further stages will be completed as grant funding becomes available.

I am so excited to see what the new tracks will look like, and I can’t wait to get back out there again and enjoy the unique scenery and viewpoints that Bowen has to offer.

In other news, last week Council approved a sponsorship of $25K of in-kind support to assist the Don River Dash.

This prestigious and one-of-a-kind event has exploded in size and popularity since its homegrown roots in 2019. Starting with only 90 competitors and 100 spectators in its inaugural year, this year the Don River Dash has 400 open competitor entries and is expected to draw crowds of over 5000 people!

This event not only attracts bike and motor enthusiasts; having gained Destination Queensland and Tourism Events Queensland recognition, the Don River Dash also puts Bowen and the Whitsundays on the map for all to see.

We are so happy to be able to provide assistance to these types of events to ensure that world class experiences like these can continue to take place in our very own back yard.

Council’s Organisational Restructure

W

hitsunday Regional Council will see an internal restructure in the coming months, with more streamlined strategic planning for the region its goal.

This organisational restructure will see a separation between operations and strategy, to better focus and strengthen the delivery of services and future planning.

Council’s Chief Executive Officer, Warren Bunker, said the new structure is designed to allow each Directorate to streamline their focus.

“Making it easier to provide effective and efficient services as well as having dedicated resources for longer term strategic projects that will provide for our communities into the future,” Mr Bunker said.

he local community is assured that new social housing will be delivered to the region thanks to the Quick Start Fund which will facilitate commencement of 100 new builds in the area before 2025.

Two projects are already underway in the region, one being recently completed on Livingstone Street in Bowen, supplying four one-bedroom houses for people living with disabilities.

A second project at 185 Shute Harbour Road in Cannonvale will deliver two, two-storey buildings and a total of 12 new social housing units to the area.

Construction of this $5.5 million complex commenced in April this year and is due to be complete by March 2024.

Six of the dwellings are accessible with four of the units designed to Gold Level, including features such as level thresholds, wider doorways and hallways, and provision for grab rails, making them suitable for people with varying levels of mobility.

Two of the units designed to Platinum Level include additional features and clearance spaces, making them particularly suitable for people who mobilise in wheelchairs.

The houses are centrally located two minutes from the shopping centre, doctor’s surgery, and local state school.

Fergus Builders have been contracted to the build and have so far employed 76 local people, a figure that is expected to double when other local trades join the final stages of construction.

Housing Minister, Meaghan Scanlon, took a tour of the site on Tuesday and reassured the community more housing is on the

way.

“Queensland can expect more social housing,” she said.

“We need to pull every lever that is available to us - building more homes, rental subsidies, and scaling up supply - we are looking at every option to scale up supply which is why we are working with Council’s to unlock more.”

Earlier that morning, Ms Scanlon attended the opening of the Housing Summit held in Mackay and she said she was pleased to hear from local stakeholders firsthand.

“Supply is the key area right across country and state,” she said.

This year there are 183 applications on the social housing register for the Whitsunday Local Government Area.

Between 1 July 2022 and 30 April 2023, the Mackay Housing Service Centre has provided 367 bond loans and 147 rental grants to help people secure a rental home in the private rental market.

he second annual PRD Annual Property Research Night was a huge success, with PRD’s Chief Economist Dr Diaswati Mardiasmo, more affectionately known as Dr Asti, speaking about the Royal Bank of Australia and local property predictions.

With almost 70 people in attendance, the second annual PRD Property Research Night was well received with attendees feeling both inspired and reassured by Dr Asti’s comments and predictions.

“We are passionate about where we live in the Whitsundays and about bringing the information that matters to us, which is why we put this night on,” said Annette Neil, CEO of PRD Whitsunday.

Dr Asti is uniquely positioned to be able to talk about the RBA and economic trends, being a PRD Chief Economist and an RBA Liaison Partner, meaning she represents housing and property when meeting with the RBA every quarter.

Covering everything from inflation and cash rate forecast to a Whitsunday region property market review, Dr Asti communicated a resilient and undeterred economy, predicting that inflation will steadily decrease over the next year.

“We covered what is expected for the cash rate, especially the next three to six months, where the RBA is going to take us,” explained Dr Asti.

“How that’s going to impact a lot of people’s mortgages, their household budgets, and how all this has a multiplier effect on the real estate market.”

The evening also discussed property investment, geared towards owner occupiers and investors.

Dr Asti said that six months ago, the push was for first home buyers, but that has shifted towards investors, to ease the rental crisis.

“A lot more people are now being more inquisitive about properties, what are the comparables, how long has it been on the market, because this is the biggest purchase they may ever make,” she said.

“It’s no wonder people are being more inquisitive and wanting to make sure that they have the right information and as much information as possible.”

Bacon Busters

Hitz, Huntz And Hogs This Weekend!

T

he Collinsville community are roaring and ready to go for their ninth annual Bacon Busters event which is due to take place this weekend and is anticipated to be the biggest and best yet.

Upscale Offerings At Rainforest Retreat

For almost a decade, Collinsville’s vibrant country culture has been displayed at it’s best through this event which brings the community together to raise funds for the local state school.

Attendees can sit back and watch a variety of events or, for those spirited and experienced in the art of pig-hunting, can participate in the Bacon Buster biggest boar competition.

Registered as pests, the wild boar in the area is free game to hunting enthusiasts and the skill of killing the beasts has become a popular sport in the area.

and merriment.

The much-anticipated Bacon Busters weigh-in, however, is a highlight of the event.

While some may view this as a bit barbaric, this is a staunch and accepted part of local culture.

Over the past six years the local P&C organised event has raised over $100,000 for the school and proceeds are put towards funding school excursions or extra equipment.

The event, however, is more than a hunting competition, at its heart it is a fun family day out that brings everyone together.

Each year, the P&C choose a local charity to also benefit from the event and this year RACQ CQ Rescue has been selected.

There will be a variety of additional activities including dog-jumping, ute pulling and iron-man competitions.

history

F

or many years, the fate of the “Llewelyn”, which disappeared off Queensland waters in 1919, remained unsolved, until ……… on August 28, 1998, ‘The Daily Mercury’ reported that a Mackay diver, Mark Earney had solved the 79-year-old maritime mystery when he discovered the wreck near Bees Island.

It was almost intact and was resting in a vertical position.

The “Llewelyn” was an iron steamship of some 350 tons, 112ft long, 19ft 6inches wide, and 9ft 2ins deep. Built in Chester, England in 1884, it was engaged in pilot service in the port of Brisbane.

During this time, it narrowly escaped foundering in heavy seas at Cape Moreton and was declared by a well-known mariner to be unsuitable for use in heavy seas.

Consequently, the State Treasurer, Mr Barnes, took steps to safeguard the lives of seamen on this steamer by issuing instructions forbidding it to be put to sea in rough weather.

On July 16, 1919, the “Llewelyn” departed from Rockhampton enroute to Bowen, making a port of call at Cape Capricorn on July 17 and leaving there that same day.

Based on the report by Captain Wilson of the “Florant” of “a terrific sea … and wind of gale force” in the area which did not abate for “a couple of days”, it is believed that the ship struck a bad storm with strong south-easterly gales.

It appears the warnings of the ship’s unsuitability in rough seas was well-founded.

Early searches by Captain Wilson and others between Mackay and Bowen located very little wreckage despite their search lasting a week during which time they walked around the coastline of every island, each wearing through two boots in

the process.

A hatch cover of the old type used on vessels such as the “Llewelyn” was found and Captain Wilson, who had served on the “Llewelyn” some years previously, was of the opinion that the wreckage was part of the ill-fated steamer.

Sadly, Emily Gordon, nee Sheen, went on to commit suicide in 1944.

It was reported that she had been tied to the life ring, no doubt in the hope that her life would be saved.

Mr Busuttin from St Bees Island, an 18-yearold at the time, reported seeing lots of wreckage passing north around July 25, 1919, and recalled, many years later, that he had picked wreckage off the beach at St Bees as well as a bell bearing the name “Llewelyn”.

Considering the weight of the bell and its inability to be able to float, he believed that the wreck would have had to be very close to shore.

Mr Busuttin also stated that the bell “was cursed with the number 13” - a number dreaded by sailors of earlier times who believed it would be certain cause of death and disaster.

Some reports say that there were thirteen aboard including two passengers - a commercial traveller, Will Bradford and Rowena Gordon who was a probationer nurse at Rockhampton Base Hospital travelling to visit friends in Proserpine then on to Bowen.

Rowena Gordon was born Rowena Sheen Ryan in 1900 but was brought up by her aunt Emily Gordon.

Her mother, Rebecca Sheen, had been in a relationship with William Harold Ryan who was a police constable in Proserpine

and who went on the be the 6th Police Commissioner for Queensland.

Rebecca registered Rowena’s surname as “Sheen Ryan” making no doubt as to who the father was.

MOVIE REVIEW

Sound Of Freedom

S

ound of Freedom follows Tim Ballard, a former Homeland Security Investigations operative, as he endeavours to rescue a young girl, Ricio, as she becomes embroiled with human traffickers.

Working as a Homeland Security Officer, Tim is becoming frustrated with arresting people in possession of child pornography, but not being able to rescue a single child from this situation.

After arresting a predator, Tim pretends to be a paedophile himself, in order to be able to meet with a trafficked child.

This is where he meets Miguel, a trafficked boy who is still missing his sister Ricio.

It comes to light that a nice-faced woman posed as a modelling agent and was able to separate the children from their parents.

Under the guise of a modelling contract, she was able to convince the children’s father of the legitimacy of her offer.

Vowing to find and return Ricio to her family, Tim embarks to Columbia, where he meets Vampiro, a former cartel accountant who now works to rescue children.

WHAT'S ON

Setting up a team of other likeminded individuals, including a police officer, Tim is able to organise a sting operation and rescue a number of children from the modelling guise, however Ricio is not among them.

Tim Ballard endeavours to rescue children from the hands of traffickers

Rather, Ricio was sold to the Revolutionary Armed forces of Columbia, deep in the heart of the jungle.

Posing as doctors, the group infiltrate the army, however Tim enters the centre camp alone.

He discovers that Ricio is in the clutches of the rebel leader, known as The Scorpion, before he is able to free Ricio, and they escape into the jungle.

This show is set to be a roundhouse of laughter and gags, with Wil on the lookout for the best audience interactions that he’s ever faced.

In a unique first for Wil, the Airlie Beach show is set to include the best of his hilarious comedy.

“This show will actually be a bit of a combination of both scripted and improvisation, and there’ll probably be a little bit more talking to the audience,” Wil said.

For a first for Airlie Beach Hotel, the iconic Wil Anderson is coming and he is bringing his all

go, Wil is excited to get a taste of Airlie Beach.

But not to worry, Wil won’t call on you unless you look keen and eager.

“It’s quite exciting!

“And certainly, my intention will be to make sure it’s a really fun night for people, however that plays out,” Wil said.

“I’m not there to pick on you, I’m actually there to find out something interesting about you then refine it and have some fun with it,” he explains.

“We’ll just have some fun, everyone just wants to laugh, and talk about some interesting things,” said Wil. “I try to be very conscious about not bringing old materials to new shows, and if you want to watch an entire show of mine, you can go onto ABC iView and watch it for free, but this is not that,” he said.

“This is a group of people getting out together, having an experience together, which is completely flavoured by the audience.”

With no expectations of how the show will

“I’m happy with a few characters to be involved in the show, they’re always a bit of fun.”

Wil says he loves meeting different sorts of people and is always up for a bit of banter with the audience, especially the lively characters.

“At one of my most recent shows, I had this guy in the front row who was very proudly a plumber, and I was like ‘I cannot believe you made it to the show on time!’.”

“It’s never about ‘you’re wearing a dumb shirt’ unless someone is a dickhead first and then I’m very happy to use my comedic skills to maintain a bit of authority over the room.”

“Don’t get me wrong, if they start it, I’m happy to finish it.”

“That’s the thing with comedy, it’s a conversation with the audience, it’s as much about listening as it is about talking.

“All these things are about having a conversation with the audience, and I always say, it’s a collaboration.

“We’re about to make comedy together, and the good news is, I do all the hard work, you don’t need to try to be funny, you just have to answer my questions and I’ll do the job and make it funny!”

For one night only, only at the Airlie Beach Hotel, Wil Anderson Live. Get your tickets while you can!

he Whitsunday Raiders travelled to BB Print stadium in Mackay to take on the Moranbah Bulls for the 2023 MRU Grand Final.

T

It was the Raiders who had the first chance to put points on the board with a penalty 30 metres out from the posts, unfortunately it missed by the smallest of margins.

All season these two teams have been the strongest of the competition.

As the game unfolded the lead changed six times.

It was always going to be a tightly contested game for the coveted silver cup.

With neither team giving any easy ground.

Moranbah had the confidence of the semi final win over the Raiders and the Raiders had the confidence of a tough win over Kuttabul last week.

Smalley KC’s Bar & Grill

Luke’s third try came off a backline movement that saw winger Jack Briskey chip over the fullback and Luke pounced on the bouncing ball to give him his third and the Raiders a 25-20 lead.

Two trophies in the past 3 years made it a special send off for outgoing coach Andre Houston and capped off a wonderful 5 years for the club under his tutelage.

The last 5 minutes of the game saw Moranbah attack the Raiders line, the men in green stood the onslaught of the bulls the defensive pressure was too much for the bulls and a knock on at the base of a ruck saw the Raiders pounce on the loose ball

Proserpine Whitsunday Rugby union as well as Mackay District Rugby is indebted to Andre and Karla for their dedication to the players and the game of Rugby Union.
