Current statistics show that more than 50% of the caravans on our roads are overweight. An overweight caravan is classified as an unroadworthy vehicle and that may affect your caravan and vehicle insurance policy, as well as the possible of you being liable in the event of an accident.
This however is half the battle, tow vehicle weights matter too. It is important to make sure your vehicle is not overloaded and you are complying to the Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) and when towing, the Gross Combined Mass (GCM) allowable for your vehicle.
GVM is the maximum allowable weight for the vehicle.
GCM is the maximum allowable weight for the vehicle and the caravan/trailer combined
When towing on bitumen or through rugged terrain, having the right tyre makes all the difference between an adventure or a nightmare. Original equipment tyres are built to carry the necessary load to support the vehicles GVM, but depending on your needs it may not perform as you were hoping. With a huge range of brands and tread designs available our customers rely on our wealth of experience to give you the right tyre for whatever your needs.

Dear Sir,
So you are in full support of a new council office/ Taj Mahal.
We already have very high rates and to spend on this is just plain crazy.
So Council spend 100m to get 40m from the government. So let’s forget about the 40 million and spend 60 million of our own on reducing rates etc or spending 10 million or whatever on renovating existing offices etc.
I am sure there is plenty of land to build new offices etc near current offices.
I’VE BEEN a media owner here in Hervey Bay for over fifteen years, and I am a staunch advocate for freedom of speech.
I tackle some topics in this Publisher’s Point that I have strong views about. Not everyone agrees with me, but that’s all cool; that’s the basis of a democratic society.
Someone recently pointed me towards the Facebook group Fraser Coast Regional Commentary. It’s apparently been around since the 1st of April 2019, ironically created on April Fool’s Day.
If you are old enough to remember the Muppet Show, you may fondly recall the two old timers Statler and Waldorf, best known for their cantankerous opinions and shared penchant for heckling from the bleachers. They would find themselves vastly
As for the disaster centre, what about the old library if a new one is built?
With regard to Council changing tune I can assure them that if this goes ahead they will not be there next election.
With regard to funding already spent I am sure it is not that much.
So Sir you being a staunch advocate for the project, let’s have a vote for and against and see results.
My guess is a no will prevail on a stupid and costly waste of our money. Thanks
Darryl EdwardsWhy doesn’t some articulate person (or committee) on the “Yes” side simply produce a credible, detailed, unarguable list of issues the Voice will influence and those it won’t change.
A list also, would be useful, of things which may be affected, depending on the view of the high court judge adjudicating at the time. We just want to know what will be or could possibly be changed or affected…. But everyone seems too slippery by far, on this.
EITHER they haven’t
entertaining and inevitably burst into mutual laughter at their own witticisms, slapping each other on the back.
Fraser Coast Regional Commentary is the digital version of that.
Engaging in an educated debate is beneficial because it promotes critical thinking, intellectual growth, and the exchange of ideas.
It allows individuals to challenge their own beliefs, consider alternative viewpoints, and arrive at more informed conclusions.
In an educated debate, the focus is on the quality of arguments and evidence presented rather than attacking the person making them. This approach fosters a respectful and constructive environment for discussion.
In contrast, personal attacks derail productive conversations. They create a hostile
decided yet…. In which case no-one should vote until details are made clear and finalised.
OR…
They have decided, but know that sensible people won’t wear it, so they hedge around and look shifty!
In this case, they would save a lot of face and anguish if they just settled for an acknowledgement in the preamble of the Constitution that Aboriginal people were here first…. And leave the Constitution well alone.
It can’t be that hard if they really want this issue resolved without dividing the country
any further.
atmosphere and hinder meaningful dialogue.
Personal attacks do not address the merits of the arguments and undermine the opportunity for individuals to learn from each other and find common ground.
Fraser Coast Regional Commentary loves a good personal attack, that’s for sure.
It is somewhat difficult to be greatly upset by grammatically incorrect sledges, but it is mildly amusing and entertaining if you are the subject of their commentary.
Local government elections are in March of next year, and I look forward to seeing some of the enthusiastic members of Fraser Coast Regional Commentary sticking their hand up for nomination, to make the change they seek. Might be a long wait…..

I agree with Patricia Pickering regarding the building of Library and Council chambers.
There is no reason to carry out this work. The library is in the best position it could be, and as for the council offices, this is in a great position for parking etc, no need to change.
$27 plus million to be used for this is sickening when there are residents living on
the streets and not enough temporary housing in the area.
This is where the millions should go, not on non urgent infrastructure.
Why was there not a vote by the electorate on this amount of spending for the proposal?
Millions being spent as the sitting mayor prepares to leave.
Like Ms Pickering said, everyone I talk to feels the same way.
About time the Council really listens instead of totally disregarding the people who pay rates and ultimately their salaries!

Almost every evening at Point Vernon, we can hear the sound of cars doing burnouts, probably at the new building sites.
This has been happening for weeks now, and it seems that nothing has been done about it.
Perhaps something will be done after there is an accident and causes damage to a property or a person.

It seems they ignore the road rules everywhere.
Where I live, we often see on a Sunday the cycle clubs going past and they ride two and three abreast on a 100kph road. If you say anything, you usually get abused.
Last Saturday (15th) while staying at Torquay, I drove from there to the Golf Club at 6:15am and had to pass about 6-7 cyclists going along the Esplanade.
And there they were two and three abreast and not giving a tinker’s toss about breaking the law, and worse, making no effort to single up when cars needed to pass. Well done.... not!
Emblazoned on their backs was “FCCC” which I assume is the Fraser Coast Cycling Club; what a great
advertisement they make for the Club.
And these types would be the first to complain about the motorist if there was an accident or incident.
Trevor Owens
Another dingo attack has occurred on K’Gari [Fraser Island}, and again the dingo is to blame, so it seems.
When are people going to learn they are on an Island where wild animals are roaming and if people are stupid enough or, better still, ignorant enough not to listen to all advice that has been given, handed out or read the notices that have been put in place, they should be the ones who are banned from the Island and fined heavily.
Of course, with the latest, the person was running, that to me is the worst thing anyone can do, of course the dingoes see something moving and think it is prey and of course they will go after it. It is instinct for them.
I am hoping that the rangers do not take people’s stupidity above the dingoes.
If these people were in a National Park in say Africa, and entered one of the Wildlife Parks, they certainly would not be doing stupid things by
running or allowing children to play unsupervised.
Each time I hear of an attack on the Island, I feel for the dingo, not the people who have been stupid enough not to do the right thing.
Well what can I say… The Blessing of the Fleet was a very disappointing event yet again.
No fireworks, one food truck and the jetpack guy - he was pretty cool.
The restaurants along the marina obviously did very well which is great but what about those that couldn’t get a table or cannot afford a restaurant meal.
A great event for the vessels and whale tours to sell their business too. But what about entertainment for the kids and why no fireworks, what happened to all the pretty lights?
The event was pretty boring and definitely didn’t live up to previous years.
The Whale Festival is a massive drawcard for Hervey Bay why are we not providing the effort and event it deserves. Let’s hope the Whale Parade lives up to its pre 2022 event.

WIDE BAY Hospital and Health Service (WBHHS) has partnered with a local artist on a series of mental health projects, to create more welcoming and therapeutic spaces for its consumers and incorporate the voice of lived experience in facility design.
Fraser Coast artist and graphic designer LeeLee West has been engaged to create a unique art mural and visual identities for WBHHS’s crisis support spaces at The Oasis at Hervey Bay Hospital. She has also illustrated a ‘Welcome’ wall that will greet all visitors to the new Fraser Coast Mental Health Services building, which is set to open its doors at Hervey Bay Hospital later this year.
Robyn Bradley, WBHHS Executive Director of Mental Health and Specialised Services, said the partnership was part of a strategy to ensure the service’s mental health facilities felt more welcoming and reflected what was meaningful to consumers and community members.
LeeLee then handpicked and arranged their individual elements into large collaborative mural designs
that have been turned into ‘building wraps’ designed to invite people in.
“The end result has been something unique and special for everyone involved, and has made a huge difference to the look of the crisis support space and the way we promote them to the community,” Ms Bradley said.
“But it’s about more than aesthetics. To us, the art projects have been a concerted effort to make our services feel warm and welcoming, connected to place, and to encourage people to seek help in a place of comfort and safety when they need it.
LeeLee said the projects had also taught her about the importance of giving a voice to lived experience.
“During a workshop for the
Oasis project, a peer worker said something that really resonated with me: ‘Don’t be ashamed of your story – it will inspire others’,” she said.
“It gave me the strength to use my voice, and I was compelled to be honest and authentic about my experiences and why this project was so important to me.
“So don’t be ashamed. There’s always hope. And in the crisis support spaces, the art tells a story of recovery and resilience from many others who’ve reached out and asked for help within our community, too.”

RIDING bicycles, e-scooters and mobility scooters on the pier and jetties will no longer be an offence under Fraser Coast local laws with Council to instead focus on education and training, and enforcement to be handled by the Queensland Government under state laws.
Fraser Coast residents are being asked to provide feedback on proposed changes to local laws covering a broad range of issues, including the use of wheeled devices, conditions of entry to Council venues and activities that are restricted or not permitted in Council-controlled areas.
Cr Zane O’Keefe said the proposed changes come from community consultation and feedback.
“Council is responsible for making and enforcing local laws on issues not governed by state or federal laws,” he said.
“Local laws help make our communities safer and better places to live and work. Seven local laws apply across the Fraser Coast region, with the existing laws developed in 2011.
“Council conducted an extensive review during 2021 to ensure the laws reflect current community
expectations, with the proposed changes flowing from that review.”
“Many of these changes are about making the local laws simpler; the intent of the local laws hasn’t changed,” Cr O’Keefe said.
Feedback surveys for proposed amendments to the local laws are now open and can be accessed at https:// frasercoast.engagementhub. com.au/local-laws
The survey closes on Monday, 31 July 2023.
The changes proposed include:
• Removing the ban on wheeled devices, such as e-scooters, bicycles and mobility scooters, in areas such as certain footpaths, the pier and jetties, and instead relying solely on Queensland laws for enforcement with Council focusing on education and training rather than behaviour;
• Simplifying and streamlining the local laws relating to conditions of entry at Council venues such as the aquatic centres;
• Making it easier to understand and find information in the local laws about activities restricted or not allowed in Council controlled areas such as parks, foreshores and local roads.

LIFELINE Fraser Coast is calling for volunteers to train as Crisis Supporters from the privacy and comfort of their own home.
At the same time as supporting the in-demand national network, volunteers will be able to build the Crisis Support skillset in regional areas.
While prospective volunteers must go through a rigorous check prior to the commencement of training to ensure their self-provided technology, internet speed and workspace is suitable, volunteers will have flexibility of location and shift times.
Sally Holstein, Lifeline Fraser Coast Service Leader, is excited to present important volunteer opportunities to people in remote areas who are keen to give back.
“Online information sessions are available for anyone interested in how they can support Lifeline as a Crisis Support volunteer,” Ms Holstein said.
“All the training is provided online and coaching is provided virtually – meaning people don’t have to travel to
a larger town to take part.”
Ms Holstein says the advantage of remote volunteering is that you don’t have to be located in a central hub, adding that there are plenty of reasons why becoming a remote volunteer is highly rewarding.
“Apart from personal growth and development, becoming a Lifeline crisis support

Self-care practice is something volunteers must also ensure is part of their daily routine.
“All participants must have a strong self-care routine in place – we regularly checkin with them to ensure their wellbeing,” Ms Holstein said.
“Putting yourself first is always the priority before you can help others.
volunteer can increase your self-awareness and is the perfect way to give back to community,” she said.
Accredited Lifeline Crisis Supporters can also potentially become eligible to be Lifeline Community Recovery Officers during times of natural disaster or community crisis in Queensland.
“We also find many of our volunteers then go on to pursue further study in this field, or that it supports
“Our volunteers come from all walks of life – with our telephone crisis support service available 24/7, it can fit in with the schedule of university students, retirees, people looking for extra experience or those looking to give back to community.”
Information sessions are being held via Zoom in July and August. For further information on training, and to register your interest, visit http://www.myuniting.care/ crisisvol or contact the Lifeline Hervey Bay office.

FRASER Coast residents have expressed support for occasional community events on the Urangan Pier and Hervey Bay jetties if public access is not restricted, but are not in favour of permanent commercial activities and private events.
Cr David Lee said the pier and jetties in Hervey Bay are an important and well-loved feature of the Esplanade for residents and visitors.
“Council occasionally receives requests from people interested in setting up businesses or holding community events on the Urangan Pier or the jetties in Scarness and Torquay,” he said.
“Ideas floated have included
businesses setting up stalls, running fishing lessons or using mobile carts to sell items, restaurants or wedding organisers using the piers and jetties for functions, or community groups closing off all or some of the pier for fundraising events.
“Our local laws currently do not allow these activities to occur, so we decided to seek feedback to better understand the community’s views on commercial and community use of the pier and jetties.
“We received 1239 survey responses, a dozen submissions and a petition with the community expressing support for temporary business activities such as mobile carts and fishing lessons.
“There was also majority support for community events if they are infrequent and access to the public is still provided.
“However, there was a high level of community opposition to commercial activity and programmed/recurring events on the Urangan Pier and the Scarness and Torquay jetties.
“We thank everyone who took the time to provide their feedback to Council, as well as the 553 people who signed a community petition.
“No changes will be made immediately, but Council will take the community feedback on board as we continue to review and update our local laws into the future.”

BLUECARE’S Hervey Bay’s Masters residential aged care facility is amongst the first to benefit from implementing the new Diet and Nutrition System – a ground-breaking, Australiafirst initiative.
Revolutionising the way senior nutrition is managed, the online program allows residents and their loved ones more choice and control over their food. It has resulted in clients not only experiencing essential, healthy, weight gain but kitchen staff have noticed significantly less food wastage, too.
The Diet and Nutrition System utilises US cloud-based hospitality technology and enables residents to view every meal and ingredient available to them online, choose exactly what is served, how much is served or alternate meal options if what is on offer is
not to their liking. The choices available are based on diet and allergy profiles provided by their doctor or dietician.
Hospitality staff also find it helpful because it’s easy to see if, for example, a resident is gluten-free, high protein, dairy free, has food allergies or is on a modified diet requiring special meal preparation.
“The introduction of this system was born from a desire to create more positive, empowering dining experiences for our clients,” explained Hospitality Partner at Uniting Care Queensland, Craig Haggart.
“We wanted something that provided a comprehensive profile of every resident’s unique nutritional needs and preferences, so they get to eat what they want.
The Diet and Nutrition
System has changed this, though, with BlueCare employees noticing how much more clients are enjoying their food, and many seeing residents clear their plates for the first time.
Another crucial benefit is that residents’ families can have more involvement in their diet and nutrition, which is especially important for those who have loved ones living with dementia / cognitive impairment diagnosis.
“They can even see the nutrition breakdown for every meal, and ingredients. It’s a truly unmatched level of involvement in meal planning and management,” Haggart said.
“We hope our success inspires other organisations to follow our lead.”
FRASER Coast Regional Council is thrilled to announce that three new Waste Monsters have joined our team!
The waste education stickers were installed on existing Cleanaway trucks to help promote important waste and recycling messages across the Fraser Coast.
“The monsters help spread important waste and recycling lessons, especially among our younger residents,” Cr Darren Everard said.
“Each monster has its own mission to inspire residents to dispose of waste responsibly, and where possible, increase recycling and reuse or reduce waste going to landfill.”
The new educational waste monsters include Henry, Claire and Charley.
Whether it’s broken-up slabs, bricks, driveways, or concrete garden edging - Concrete Claire is on a mission to recycle the lot.
Concrete waste can’t go in your kerbside bin, but it can be
dropped directly at Council’s waste facilities, where we crush it into road base.
Cyclops Charley’s message is simple. If it doesn't fit in the bin, please do the right thing, and take it to the tip. Illegal dumping is a crime, and fines apply.
Illegal dumping pollutes our environment and significantly diminishes the use, enjoyment and value of our public places. Illegal dumping of items containing chemicals or asbestos can directly cause harm or injury to humans and wildlife.
Henry the Safety Hero’s message is to keep a safe distance from garbage trucks. Parents and children may be excited to see the Waste Monsters on bin day, but they should stand clear while the truck’s arm is in use.
“We encourage the Fraser Coast community to stay safe around Cleanaway trucks, both on the road and as a pedestrian,” Cleanaway Wide
“Cleanaway trucks have long arms to pick up kerbside bins –please don’t walk or play close to the truck while it’s working. Wave to the driver from a safe distance – they might not see you while they are working.
“While driving, please stay safe by avoiding the driver’s blind spots. Collection trucks stop regularly, so always leave two car lengths distance behind the truck, be patient and overtake when safe to do so.”
There are now 19 different waste monsters on Fraser Coast waste and recycling trucks.
Residents can visit www. frasercoast.qld.gov.au/wastemonsters to learn more about each monster, download colouring-in sheets and a ‘Collect a Truck’ bingo card.
Truck routes are being rotated so residents have a chance to spot different monsters doing their bin collections.
The Community Support Fund, provided by the Department of Social Services, is an exciting $5M place-based community development opportunity and is the result of significant investment by the Hinkler region.
The Department of Social Services Local Service Plans have identified five key priority areas for our communities to develop cohesive partnerships where we all share in finding sustainable solutions to addressing social and economic problems.
We are looking for partnerships now.
HBNC has a long history of driving social innovation for the region and will be the brokering organisation to support community members to co-design new initiatives to address the priority areas in the Local Services Plan.
The Social Shift will provide a platform for individuals, organisations and government agencies to work together in addressing our social challenges while also building resilient and vibrant communities.
Emerging evidence and research support that complex social issues can only be tackled successfully at a local level, with whole-of-community involvement, prevention and early intervention the key success factors.
The Social Shift will provide immediate support for the social needs and aspirations of the Hinkler communities.
Community-led Ideas
Community change is challenging.
As an individual or organisational changemaker, we are often better at deploying program-based or focused strategies to solve simple problems than we are at shifting the systems which are holding the problem in place.
It is difficult to shift large and complex systems on our own.
Even working in the context of a single organisation, scaling systems change is challenging given limitations on resources. Achieving deeper and more robust systems change, especially
within communities, requires a new set of skills and mindsets that results in a different way of approaching and working through change.
HBNC will be delivering a number of workshops over the coming months to support capacity building for community members who have ideas on improving our community across the five priority areas in the Local Service Plans. These include: Mental health, Drug and Alcohol, Domestic Violence and Economic independence.
HBNC will also facilitate the Social Innovators Pitch Nights in October, however, you do not need to wait for this to get your application in.
Community-led change requires us to navigate our way across local and community dynamics. It embraces the diverse voices, while also pushes us to consider the whole system. It calls on us, as changemakers, to be courageous, ask challenging questions, to be patient and continue to move forward.
AS THE CURRENT
President of The Fraser Coast Young Professionals, Sara Diana Faraj is forging an enviable reputation amongst professional circles in our region as a young woman that means business.
“After a hiatus for a number of years, The Fraser Coast Young Professionals are back and focussed on bridging the gap between older and more established ideas and organisations with the younger workforce in our region,” Sara said.
“The Fraser Coast is a growing region, and it is imperative that we provide the tools to allow our youth to stay and forge a future on the Fraser Coast. More young families are calling Hervey Bay home, and that is great news for all of us.”
Sara is no stranger to pursuing her passion for youth, having been named 2022 Young Citizen of the Year and also Youth Mayor in 2022.
“The Young Citizen of the Year was a real honour and was largely due to the work I was doing with Zonta, and I had been the president of Zonta Hervey Bay for the previous two-years.”
“I was the youngest president
in over one hundred years of Zonta.”
Zonta believes in making the world a better place by empowering women and finding joy in doing this in a supportive community of like-minded professionals from diverse countries and cultures.
The Young Citizen of the Year selection committee was also very complimentary of the volunteering work Sara was doing in her own time.
“When I did work experience with the Fraser Coast Regional Council, I worked closely with Mayor George Seymour, and he told me that there had previously been a Youth Council. I immediately wanted to know more.”
“George put the motion forward through Fraser Coast Regional Council to reinstate the Youth Council with a view to creating a greater pipeline of communication between Fraser Coast Regional Council the youth of the region.”
“I applied, and when it came time to elect a Youth Mayor I was nominated by a peer and won that vote. It was a great experience.”
Sara is forthright in her views on the lack of consultation with young people and believes this is largely due to a
misunderstanding rather than a dismissal of youth needs.
“The age demographics that will influence our region moving forward, need to have a more even spread and be collaborative in their approach.”
Sara makes no secret of her own political aspirations and her nomination for the 2024 Local Government Election in March of next year is a certainty, although she is not prepared to confirm or deny that right now.
“I have always wanted to forge a future in politics, dating back to when I was in year six. I am drawn to the sense of service and the tangible differences that can be made in the day-to-day lives of residents.”
Whatever she turns her hand to next, you get the feeling that Sara Diana Faraj will make a big impact.
Let’s hope we can keep amazing young people like her in our city.
The Hervey Bay Advertiser will welcome Sara as a regular column contributor from our issue of August 24th, discussing all things youth related as the President of The Fraser Coast Young Professionals.

Umpire Coordinator and is immensely proud of Hunter’s achievements in the sport.
“It can be challenging for Hunter to umpire much older men in the Reserve Grade and A-Grade competitions, but it teaches some very important life skills like the ability to make quick decisions, to be able to justify those decisions and stick with them,” Andrew said.
“It’s a fantastic learning environment for making decisions under pressure.
“He has also officiated at AFL school gala days around the region over the last four years.”

Over $4.9 million has gone back into the local community through donations, in-kind support and sponsorship since the inception of the Hervey Bay RSL Community Grants program 10 years ago.
SHOPPING centre retailers who repeatedly fail to ensure trolleys remain within their precinct and property owners or occupiers with overgrown or unsightly allotments face increased penalties under changes to Fraser Coast local laws that have now taken effect.
Cr Paul Truscott said Council was responsible for making and enforcing local laws on issues not governed by state or federal laws.
“Local laws help communities to be better places to live by regulating certain behaviours, promoting safety, harmony and good rule in the community,” he said.
“There are seven local laws that apply across the Fraser Coast, with the existing laws developed in 2011.
“Council conducted an extensive review during 2021 to ensure the laws reflect current community expectations, with the changes being implemented now flowing from that review.”
More details about Council’s local laws are available at https://www.frasercoast.qld. gov.au/local-laws
The changes taking effect include:
• Removing provisions in local laws around designated smokefree areas, prescribed swimming pool standards and noise provisions as Queensland laws cover these;
• Adding new identified local pests;
• Simplifying regulations on the lighting of fires to make it easier to understand by having all the information in one section of the local laws;
• Increasing penalties for repeat offenders with overgrown or unsightly allotments with fines escalating from $1548 for a first offence to $7740 for a third offence within 12 months;
• Increasing penalties for shopping centre retailers who repeatedly fail to ensure trolleys remain within their precinct

KERRIE BINDI Gleeson is a life coach, author, and counsellor. She has her own business called Focused Life Coaching and Counselling and is a bubbly, confident, warm person who always puts a lot of effort into her hair and makeup and knows how to dress.
Having known Kerrie, or Bindi, as she is better known, for close to fifteen years, I knew a little of her story, but curiosity about her life led me to have a conversation that was well overdue.
Kerrie’s life has not been without its challenges, as she was born in Cabramatta, a western suburb of New South Wales, into a household marred by alcoholism and
domestic violence. Reflecting on her childhood, Bindi shares, “My parents believed in us despite their own disappointments. I have found solace in their love which has enabled me to find mercy and forgiveness.” Despite the odds stacked against her, Bindi also became an alcoholic, although she didn’t realise it at the time. From her first drink at fourteen to her last, which resulted in an alcoholic seizure and her heart stopping twice, she had a transformative experience.
A friend and mentor from Alcoholics Anonymous warned her that continuing to drink could kill her. Heading the advice, Bindi made the
life-altering decision to quit drinking.
“The journey to sobriety was not easy, but once I experienced the freedom and joy of an alcohol-free life, I knew I wanted to help others achieve the same,” Bindi confides.
Hairdressing became Bindi’s ticket out of the western suburbs and her challenging childhood. As an eighteenyear-old, she had a special talent for hairdressing and won many awards.
By twenty-one, she had earned a scholarship to study with Vidal Sassoon in London, leading her to explore different parts of the world. Eventually returning to Australia, Bindi travelled
the country, presenting hairdressing shows.
In her forties, Bindi faced a series of devastating losses. Her father succumbed to alcoholism in a fatal car accident, while her mother battled cancer for an extended period before losing the fight.
Tragically, Bindi’s brother also passed away due to a drug overdose. These profound losses took place within the span of a decade and took a toll.
At the age of forty-three, Bindi was involved in a catastrophic car accident when another vehicle crossed into her lane. Tragically, there were fatalities, but somehow Bindi pulled through.
She was in an induced coma
and had a brain injury to her frontal lobe along with broken hips, shattered knees, a broken left foot and many other breaks and contusions. The recovery took about seven years.
Dubbed “Bionic Bindi” by hospital staff due to the extensive metal used to put her back together, Bindi knew that the implanted metal had an expiration date.
Now after twenty years, the metal has degenerated, and she requires surgeries to replace it. This time she has to have one surgery at a time. She has already had several surgeries and will need more next year.
Bindi believes that her faith in God and a higher power is
what helps her get through.
She also calls on her GWOGS (Gorgeous Women of God Squad), a tribe of women that are all in the faith and support each other.
Bindi says, “Live is looking good. I have met a beautiful man who shares my Christian beliefs. He is spiritual, loving and kind. At times the surgeries are too much for me to deal with myself. But he has taken it all in his stride. This is a restorative time for me.
“My first book was called The Colour Silver from Fatality Forward. I am closing that chapter, and now I am going for gold, and everything is gold in our relationship.”
