PIC 2: Elton Fell captured this amazing view from the Sea Swift Wharf, Thursday Island, whilst at work on the Sea Swift barge. “ I am blessed to live on a beautiful island surrounded by water – Thursday Island my beautiful home,” Elton said. PIC 3: Aldene Reuben-Bowie submitted her pic taken at Iama, (Yam Island), as a reflection of the
peacefulness, natural and unique nature of her world. “I am blessed to capture such moment, the evening sunset, the stillness in community that allows me to reflect on life and the good things I take for granted,” Aldene said. PIC 4: Nancy Mola has entered a beautiful aerial view of Stephen Island which she described as
“a hidden treasure in the eastern corner of the Strait”. “I am so proud to have blood ties to this little piece of paradise,” Nancy said. PIC 5: Nancy also submitted a picture of her son Joseph fishing a few years ago with his mates off Stephen Island, showing , well... part of their catch – the other end was shared with a shark.
