Ailan Life

The winner of the June 2023 Ailan Life photo competition is Nadja Mack – Congratulations!

Nadja submitted her beautiful pic taken at Bayo Beach on Waiben. “I love looking at the shells that stick like flower arrangements to the driftwood. My puppy Pippi (pictured in the winning photo left) loves eating them,” Nadja said.

Nadja has very kindly donated her prize to the Thursday Island Animal Support Group (TIASG), so they can use the voucher next time they have a vet clinic.

“The clinic is run by volunteers from Vets Beyond Borders. I am sure they would love the treats that the voucher would be able to buy them,” she said. For your chance to win, email us your pic showing your Ailan Life along with your name, phone number and a brief description to ads@torres.news
