Ailan Life

Each week we will publish a pic showing the Ailan way of life in the Torres Strait and the NPA – the kids swimming, a BBQ at the beach, fishing, scenic shot, etc – from local photographers and readers across our region. Just email us your pic of Ailan Life along with your name, phone number and a 25-word description to ads@torres.news

This week we had multiple entries submitted, so take a moment to check out these great shots. All entries are now in the draw to win this month’s $150 gift card! Good luck!

Penina Whap from Thursday Island has sent in our first three pics.

“I thought I’d enter my few of my favourite photos – I just love going around the island and taking pictures. I find it relaxing and peaceful after a long day at work,” Penina said.
