CANCER SURVIVOR WALKS FROM TOWNSVILLE TO AIRLIE BEACH

Three ex-Australian Defence Force personnel with more than 40 years of military service combined have made the walk from Townsville to Airlie Beach in aid of a charity supporting veterans.

Orchestrated and walked by Pete Schefford,

who was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic bowel cancer three years ago, and two oth ers, the long walk was aimed at recognising and continuing to embody military values, all while faced with insurmountable odds.

Over September 19 to 24, the trio of Schef

ford, Beau King, and Jason Handsak er made the more than 270-kilometre journey to prove that something as small as just walking can make a major difference. Read on page

Hi Everyone, I hope you’ve had a fantastic week!

School holidays has certainly transformed our towns into thriving hubs for both visi tors and local families who are all enjoying being out and about – spending money at our small businesses and gen erally improving the mood for everyone.

This week I met two sets of very different people who both shared the same dream and I’d like to share their sto ries with you now.

On Monday I chatted with a 71-year-old real estate agent who had just started up his own business.

While many others would be kicking back in retirement, his industrious spirit ran deep and he found reward, not by sip ping cocktails on a sunlounge, but with the sweet smell of en trepreneurial passion.

On Wednesday, I met three siblings, aged between five and 10 who had started their own business selling Rocky Road from a roadside stall.

Not only did they have a sign

and a bucket of change, they also had a Facebook page, a Canva designed logo and now a newspaper article!

This is not the first kid we cov ered over the school holidays; you may remember young Trinny who told us about her bracelet making business last week.

For many of us who are in the midst of our working careers, we look enviously at retirees and their leisurely lifestyles or our children enjoying their carefree days – I know I do!

But as we know, the ‘grass is always greener’ and we often forget the sense of purpose and passion we feel after ful filling day’s work or the thrill of having a successful career.

Whatever stage you may be at, enjoy every moment and don’t be afraid to set up that busi ness or chase that dream, no matter your age.

Inthe midst of grieving for a young life lost too soon, the family and friends of Cody Gibbs who tragically passed away from cancer earlier this year, decided to turn their sad ness into a positive outlet by raising money for a cause close to their heart.

Hummingbird House is Queensland’s only palliative care service where babies, chil dren and young people can receive the support they need while being surrounded by loved ones in a comfortable and uplifting setting.

This is where 15-year-old Cody Gibbs was able to spend his fi nal days and his family will be forever grateful for this.

To show their appreciation, for the last five weeks family friend Maz McDougall has been run ning a series of fundraising ini tiatives to give back to the char ity that gave them so much.

Over 20 volunteers, who range from Cody’s friends to their parents, gave up time on their weekends to stand outside Coles supermarket in Cannon

vale, flip some sausages, sell raffle tickets and offer cupcakes to passers-by.

“It blew us away to see how generous everyone was!” said Maz.

“As soon as they knew about the cause, they couldn’t get their money out quick enough!”

“A huge thank you to all the volunteers, it was truly amaz ing seeing how many of Cody’s friends turned up to help.”

The fundraising stall has been outside Coles every weekend for the past five weeks and it even went down to the Lion’s Club markets for the day.

In addition, Cody’s sporting club, the Whitsunday Sea Ea gles, held a raffle at their pre sentation night where they raised an incredible $800 for the charity.

All the money will be put to wards the Cannonvale Coles Hummingbird House tally and donated straight to helping other families who are going through the same situation.

Anapplication for a large retail precinct on Shute Harbour Road has been approved at Whitsunday Regional Council’s Ordinary Meeting on Wednesday, and in turn a new set of traffic lights for the major main road.

The traffic lights will be constructed across Galbraith Park Drive and Shute Harbour Road to manage the “impact on traffic movement” of the new Whitsunday Com mercial Centre.

BCF and Supercheap Auto will become two of the three tenants for the planned showroom precinct which will be built on the corner of Galbraith Park Drive and Shute Harbour Road, opposite Whitsun day Plaza.

The 7167 square metres with 74 carpark ing spaces will be accessible from both Galbraith Park Drive and Central Avenue.

The development “triggered the require ment for the intersection of Shute Harbour Road and Galbraith Park to be upgraded to a signalised intersection,” according to the Council report and Tourism and Main Roads (TMR).

In consultation between Whitsunday

Commercial Centre and TMR – the state body in charge of Shute Harbour Road –the Centre agreed to pay a $378,900 con tribution in infrastructure charges for the traffic lights and new footpaths.

Residents Traffic Action Group (RTA) – who have campaigned from 2006 for roundabouts instead of traffic lights - had previously outlined their concerns for the Galbraith Park Drive and Shute Harbour corner, seeking for the development to be deferred.

The meeting saw fierce discussion between Councillors prior to the approval.

Councillors Al Grundy and Jan Clifford had no “problems with the development, only problems with the traffic lights.”

“I for one, do not believe a Nebo Road type approach is the approach we need to deliver as an entry statement to the tour ism destination that we are,” Councillor Al Grundy said.

“Ever since I got into Council, I have been discussing Shute Harbour Road and our management plan for managing our growth. We are the number one tourism

destination in the Great Barrier Reef.

“This comes back to the stronger point of what is our vision for this desti nation. Who do we want to be as a destination and how do we manage our growth?”

Councillor Clifford agreed: “I won’t be supporting this either. I have nothing against the development; I think it’s fan tastic. I cannot support another set of traf fic lights.”

“Noosa seems to survive without traffic lights, and I don’t see how they’re any dif ferent than we are. I don’t want Nebo Road in Airlie,” she said.

Councillor Mike Brunker rallied against Councillor Grundy and Clifford’s senti ments: “It’s not our road; State Govern ment are saying lights are the only solu

tion.”

“I like roundabouts as much as anyone else, but with what we know is going to be there [at Whitsunday Commercial Cen tre] it will be a calamity [without lights]; this development will be on the table for two or more years if we don’t approve it now,” he said.

“If we want to cap Airlie Beach develop ment now, then let’s do it and save all this crap. We’ve only got one road into Airlie Beach unless we’re talking boring over hills or the other way round,” he said.

A new commercial centre will be constructed on the corner of Shute Harbour Road and Galbraith Park Drive after Whitsunday Regional Council approval

The Whitsunday region has once again toppled previous records by exceeding visitation numbers to emerge as one of Queensland’s most pop ular holiday destinations.

“We are clearly the stand-out region in Queensland, with the highest percentage increase of overnight visitor expenditure, along with record increases in domestic holiday visitors,” said Tourism Whitsun day’s Chief Executive Officer, Rick Hamil ton.

The latest National Visitor Survey (NVS) revealed visitors to the region welcomed a record 811,000 domestic visitors, who spent a collective $1.3 billion in the year to June 2022, an increase of 31.2 per cent.

Domestic visitors enjoyed 3.7 million nights in the Whitsundays, with an average spend per visitor of $1,613.

“This underlines the significant contribu tion that tourism makes here, as we are a region that relies on tourism for 1 in 3 jobs,” said Mr Hamilton.

“These results are an excellent validation of our unparalleled product offering and the investment our operators have been making in new experiences for all visitor demographics.”

“The results released yesterday show that The Whitsundays is one of the most de sirable destinations in Australia and we’re looking forward to continued growth in the interstate and international markets.”

WE DON’T WANT ANOTHER NEBO ROAD

Councillor

Al Grundy said, regard less of the development, there was a “big picture” to consider.

“I asked TMR: how many traffic lights are going to be between Gregory Cannon Val ley Road and Shute Harbour. It’s what the residents want to know,” he said.

“My major concern is how are we going to deal with the population growth along this main road. This is just a microcosm of that.”

Whitsunday Regional Council Mayor Ju lie Hall chimed in with a closing remark:

“If we go down the aspect of the round about, that will take a lot longer to [build].

“Then we’ve got drainage issues and shift ing power poles to think about; that will cost more for the ratepayer,” she said.

The motion to approve the development was carried 5-2, with Councillor Clifford and Councillor Grundy recording their names against.

Faye Chapman of RTA said of the develop ment approval that she was fed up seeing major decisions made “without an overall vision for the Whitsunday Way.”

“Once again we are very disappointed to see the views and aspiration of Division 1 and 2 Councillors who represent their community’s expectations be over-ruled by planning,” said Ms Chapman.

“How long can we let the entrance to world renowned Whitsundays and Airlie Beach be decided by development and not by Council policy?”

Construction dates for the new Centre have yet to be released, as well as construc tion of the traffic lights on Shute Harbour Road which must be completed before the site can be considered open for business.

Trading Coal For A $20 Billion Green Energy Hub

Collinsville

is looking to be the cen tre of a $20 billion renewable ener gy and ammonia/hydrogen project courtesy of foreign investors.

Three of Korea’s largest conglomerate groups – the Han-Ho consortium of Korea Zinc, Hanwha Impact, and SK Gas - have joined forces to develop a scheme to de liver 3000 megawatts of renewable energy and an export supply chain for ammonia from Collinsville to Korea.

The three companies signed a Memoran dum of Understanding (MOU) to devel op a supply chain to export more than 1 million tonnes of green ammonia a year by 2032.

Korea Zinc subsidiary Ark Energy is now developing plans to build the ‘3GW re newables hub’ at Collinsville.

The Collinsville green energy hub will cover an area of 190,000 hectares.

Queensland premier, Annastacia Pa laszczuk, said the green energy export

corridor could create up to 700 jobs.

“When we are talking about the trans formation, it is happening in regional Queensland,” the Premier said.

“This MOU signals their intention to de velop future green hydrogen and ammo nia opportunities in North Queensland which means more local jobs and more investment.”

The exports could be sent to Asia from the

nearby Abbot Point port, or from Towns ville, according to the Premier.

Daniel Kim, the chief executive of Ark En ergy, said “The scale of what we’re embark ing upon doesn’t exist today”.

“It is a very historic day for Australia and Korea”.

Details have yet to be confirmed on what will be built in Collinsville.

“It’s Pretty Hard To Steer A Car From The Backseat”

Recently appointed Chief Executive Officer of Mackay Isaac Tourism and current Whitsunday Coun cillor Al Grundy, caused shockwaves last week when he resigned from his position following an unsuccessful bid to become Mayor.

Cr Grundy said that it was a difficult deci sion to make but that ultimately, he “want ed to be a leader” and had “excess capaci ty” to create more positive change within the community.

“It’s pretty hard to steer a car from the backseat,” he explained.

“I’ve been learning for the last two and a half years and now I am ready to run, I want to be a leader.”

Cr Grundy said that he initially joined the Whitsunday Regional Council because he wanted to work with Andrew Willcox on a “journey of uniting the community”.

“When the mayor went to Federal, I thought – ‘I’m ready to run for mayor’ –and was looking forward to strategically planning how to improve and unite the region over the next 10-15 years,” he said.

“When I was unsuccessful, it took me a while to digest.

“Being a Councillor, the bulk of the de cision making and advocacy falls to the mayor so I was left thinking – ‘what am I going to do’ – I have all this excess capac ity.”

Initially surprised when he was awarded the role at Mackay and Isaac Tourism, Cr Grundy said that it took him some time accept the position.

“I understand there will be some people out there that feel frustrat ed and annoyed with my deci sion,” he said.

“But I still have the best interests of the community at heart and at the end of the day I’ll still be able to make a difference.”

Eager to unite the regions of Whitsundays, Isaac and Mackay, Cr Grundy said that he is looking forward to harnessing all his in dustry knowledge and thinking of new innovative ideas that can fur

ther enhance our overall tourism offering.

“I’ve got a great opportunity to help grow a really important economic driver for our Greater Whitsunday Area,” he said.

“With this new role, I can have a direct line back to the decision makers and the broader RTO network across the state.”

Cr Grundy will reside in Mackay during the week and aims to return to the Whit sundays to spend time with his family on the weekend.

He is unsure whether he will run for May or again in 18 months, but says he will al ways help the community in any way he can.

“Honk If You Love Rocky Road!”

Three indus trious sib lings have been banking the big bucks over the school holidays with a home baking project that has earnt them more money than the aver age teenager working a part time job.

Jack, Evie and Archie Oberg have been running a roadside stall on the corner of Schnapper Street and Beach Road in Can nonvale for the past week using a homemade recipe that is proving to be a real crowd pleaser.

Their dad, Tim, said that the idea came from a school project last term where the students had to create a market stall based on recycling and sustainability.

“This really planted a seed for Jacko!” he said.

When a friend came around with Rocky Road last week, the idea for the school hol iday stall was born.

The three siblings worked together and, assisted by their parents, learnt how to source ingredients, think in unit values, make a unique recipe, package the goods, draw-up signage and sell the sweet treats to real customers.

They even designed a logo on Canva and started up a Facebook site calling their business ‘Airlie Confectionary Co’, up loading an image with their location every morning and afternoon.

Tim said they are now waiting for their

branded stickers to arrive.

Surprised by its success, the kids said they are frequently selling out and have so far sold over 60 bags, retailing at $5 each.

What started out as a bit of extra pocket money soon became a quest for a bigger dream – they are now putting the money into purchasing a family tinny with mum and dad saying they’ll match whatever the kids contribute.

“I loved the idea of being able to transfer a school project into an out of school proj ect,” said 10-year-old Jack.

Both Evie (8) and Archie (5) agreed they loved cooking the most, smelling the choc olate and then getting to try it afterwards.

Tim said he would love to see a ‘kids col lective’ start up where other families bake, create or make and then come together to run a kid’s market stall.

The Long Walk To “Make A Difference”

Pete Shefford has already beaten the odds.

Diagnosed with a form of terminal bowel cancer just after his 50th birthday, the Townsville man and Defence Force veteran was issued with a life expectancy of roughly two years.

That was almost three years ago, and he wants to keep beating those odds – which is in part why he and three other men from Queensland’s far north took on the walk from Townsville to Airlie Beach in blister ing heat last week.

In the face of his prognosis, Pete saw an opportunity to establish a legacy for future veterans; reinforcing his belief that “diag nosed medical conditions need not define nor restrict us.”

In collaboration with charitable organisa tion Eyes Front Ltd, he established the ‘Pete Shefford Enduring Spirit Award’, aimed at recognising the esteemed military values within a critically or terminally ill veteran and provide an opportunity for them to tick something off their bucket list.

“A ‘Make-a-Wish’ opportunity for com munity-minded ex-defence personnel if

you like,” Pete said.

“I’ve had a good life; I’ve done a lot of good things. I know that not ev eryone had the opportunities I had and they get too old or too sick to do things they might wanted to have done. The idea is to give back to people who are giving already while raising money for hands-on chari ties.”

Joined by ADF veterans Beau King and Jason Handsaker, the three or dinary blokes – fathers, husbands, footballers, mates, and veterans – set out to prove that “one doesn’t need to be a celebrity or a socialite to make a difference.”

They walked the shoulder of the road for roughly 270 kilometres, through Ayr, Gumlu, Bowen, Proserpine, and finally Airlie Beach, raising roughly $7,000 (at the time of writing) along the way.

“What we realised along the walk was that everyone was willing to give us a hand. Places like Travellers Motel, The Grandview, Original North Australian

and Metropole Hotel looked after us,” Pete said.

“Free food, free accommodation. We had lots of chats with locals, too, lots of in terest in what we were doing, and quite a few people who donated as much as they could. People just dropping cash into my hand and things like that.”

They walked for as long as 13 hours a day during some of the stretch and looked for ward to a dip in the Airlie Beach Lagoon come the end.

“The message we want to get out there is:

we want people to focus on what they can achieve – who they can help. None of the buts, just what you want and to focus on that. And it’s a reminder that you can do things if you’ve got support,” Pete said.

“That’s been my message. It’s not about the physical side of things. It’s about having a go, it’s about three ordinary blokes who are saying, we can make a difference, and we can do it together.”

Three

of the greater region’s tourism organisations are bringing back a collaborative stamp-collecting ef fort that proved a major boon for the tour ism sector.

Tourism Whitsundays in partnership with Mackay Isaac Tourism and Bowen Tour ism and Business are excited to announce the return of the Visitor Information Cen tre Passports Competition from Saturday, 1 October to entice travellers to visit and collect stamps at each destination.

The passport, which includes information about the regions and will encourage trav ellers to collect stamps from each of the three accredited Information Centres in Proserpine, Sarina and Bowen, sees those who complete them go into the draw to win $2,100 worth of holiday vouchers.

Tourism Whitsundays CEO, Rick Hamil ton said visitors love the collaboration and the potential to win prizes just for visiting our Information Centres.

“The Visitor Information Centres are an invaluable part of each community, their local knowledge is what attracts visitors to stop in,” Mr Hamilton said.

“This campaign encourages more visitors to stop in and talk with our volunteers and staff about ways they can explore the area.”

Passports are available at all three of the accredited Visitor Information Centres and when a visitor stops in at each centre the friendly team will stamp their pass ports.

At the third information centre stop, visi tors will collect their final stamp and pop their completed passport into a raffle box. The prize up for grabs is $2,100 worth of holiday vouchers that the winner can put towards their next visit to The Whitsun days and Mackay regions.

The competition will close at 6:00pm (AEST) on Thursday, March 31 of 2023, with the winner to be contacted after this date.

Bowen Tourism and Business Manager, Leanne Abernethy, is pleased to be work ing with Tourism Whitsundays and Mack ay Isaac Tourism on the Visitor Informa tion Passport project again this year.

Property Myths Debunked At Information Night

More affordable and still grow ing were the main take-homes about the Whitsunday prop erty market following an informative Annual Property Research Night hosted by PRD Whitsun day at the Reef Gateway last week.

Over 50 people attended the event, including PRD staff members who were available to answer ques tions.

There were also represen tatives from Whitsunday Regional Council, including Councillor Jan Clifford and many Whitsunday resi dents.

Dispelling the myths surrounding the housing market, and with the intention to remove the fear surrounding issues like rising interest rates, keynote speaker Dr Diaswati Mardiasmo (Dr Asti for short) was excellent at explaining complex topics in a relatable format.

As PRD’s Chief Economist and RBA Liai son Partner, Dr Asti is at the forefront of the most up to date economic and proper ty market trends.

Her role involves having quarterly meet ings with the RBA so she can help inform them of market changes.

“We tell them what we are seeing on the ground and they take that all into account when they work out what monetary pol icy they are going to use for next three months,” she explained.

More locally, Dr Asti was able to offer an insight into how best to make property de

cisions here in the Whitsundays.

“While every other place in Queensland is going down in terms of property growth, Whitsundays is actually still growing,” she said.

“Not only is it still growing, it is also more affordable.”

When asked about interest rises and the growing fear that homeowners will no lon ger be able to afford increased repayments she said not to worry.

“It’s not about being afraid, it is more about preparation and being aware of how the changes will affect your household,” Dr Asti explained.

“What’s most important is understand ing your financial situation as a whole - a house is your primary need and on aver age 38.4 per cent of people’s household in come is committed to paying mortgage or rent – that’s a massive chunk!”

Proserpine’s Local Heroes

IGA Proser pine recognised those making a difference in the Whit sundays’ community last weekend through their Local Hero Award.

Peries

The Proserpine store highlighted those work ing in charity groups, organisations, or services who provide their time to benefit the community.

It is the second year run ning that the local store has organised the award, with nomina tions open throughout August.

The winner received a $500 dollar IGA gift card and a plaque as appreciation from Peries IGA Proserpine on behalf of the lo cal community.

Peries IGA Proserpine Merchandise and Marketing Manager Colin Hickey said the award “recognises those people that do a lot for the community and don’t always get recognised.”

“IGA’s motto is: ‘Where Locals Matter’, so we want to recognise people within the Proserpine community for being good lo cals, especially during Covid, which was where the idea originally began,” Mr Hick ey said.

“Peries Group are all about locals and be ing involved in the community, and we want to recognise those heroes who make the community what it is.”

The IGA Local Heroes Award recognised seven members of the Proserpine commu nity this year : Bryce Fraser, Faye McPher son, Kelsey Fyffe, Ingrid Ruck, Chris Hin schen, and Ailsa Reinke, as well as the eventual winner.

This year’s Winner of Peries IGA Local Hero award went to Elsie Magee for more than 10 years Elsie has worked five and a

half days a week as the volunteer manager of the Proserpine Vinnies shop.

She is almost 81 years old.

“In today’s world, few people would show such long-term voluntary commitment on a weekly basis and never seek payment of any kind, so I think the local heroes award would be a wonderful and completely un expected reward for Elsie,” her nomination read.

Ms Magee said she couldn’t believe she’d been awarded the honour.

“For 33 years I’ve volunteered at Vinnies and I think more people should,” she said.

“It’s given me purpose; I go in there ev ery day. Helping people, meeting them, it’s been some of the most rewarding mo ments of my life at Vinnies. I think older people should come by and get out of their homes, because they’ll love the people and do something with purpose like I do.”

Ms Magee said that both Proserpine Vin nies and Airlie Beach Vinnies were look ing for volunteers, and with the platform of her award – which would go on her mantle at home next to her Citizen Of The Year award from 2000 – she wished for others to become a part of the Vinnies’ family.

history

Paddy FitzgeraldBootmaker par excellence

Oftenreferred to as “Little Pad dy Fitz”, Paddy Fitzgerald was a much-loved character in the dis trict. He arrived in Proserpine in 1932, a single man of 25 years, and set about making a name for himself as the master bootmaker of his time.

To Paddy, boot repairing was not a job; it was an art. He would lovingly coax a damaged sole or upper, back to a state of new or near new condition, applying himself with dedication. His reputation was such that people came from other towns to have their favourite shoes re paired by Paddy.

Paddy’s original live-in workplace was a little shop adjoining Bob Eckel’s Sad dlery in the old Dobbins building in Main Street. Paddy had his quarters at the back of the shop in this building and later also in 1953 when the Dobbins family built new brick shops (now Co lour Me Crazy). Being in close proximity to the Prince of Wales and Palace Hotels where Paddy sometimes had his meals, there were times when the door of his shop remained closed during working hours.

But his shop always re-opened and Pad dy would be there again, repairing shoes for next to nothing. “Aw, a shilling ’ll do” was his usual answer to enquiries about the cost of repairs and mostly, “It’ll be right” for his poorer clientele.

No job was too difficult for Paddy. He was a surgical bootmaker and would make shoes for crippled children. Like a good surgeon, his tools of trade and his hands worked as one. Residents of the time remembered seeing him with a mouthful of tacks, handling and ham mering them into the soles. And they were fascinated watching him turn soft shoes inside out and stitching them from the inside. He made his own thread by

twining three cotton threads into one and waxing them to make them water proof.

Locals recalled the mountain of shoes and boots in various states of disrepair in Paddy’s shop and were mystified as to how he knew who the owners were. He would deftly step through the pile with out even disturbing one of the cobwebs and retrieve the right one!

The sisters of the convent would always present Paddy with a challenge when asking him to repair their shoes which were always almost totally worn down. But Paddy worked his special brand of magic and would not accept payment. The convent children loved the errand of collecting the repaired shoes for if they weren’t ready - which was often – Paddy would dig out a sixpence from his pock et, tell them to go and buy an ice cream, then come back in half an hour at which time the shoes would always be finished.

Paddy’s shop was rarely empty. He could talk sports (rugby league in particular), local issues and politics. He was a good listener and rarely judged anyone. There was a box for visitors on either side of the front door where many an interest ing yarn took place. When people left Paddy’s shop, they did so with a feeling of well-being – even if their shoes were still in the pile.

Paddy Fitzgerlad spent almost fifty years in the district. He died in Proserpine on February 20, 1980.

Paddy’s friends were many; his enemies few. He was indeed a genius in his trade and was from an era when pride in one’s work took precedence over money. Pro serpine’s history is richer because Paddy Fitzgerald is part of it.

Thriller Author On His Way To Whitsundays

One

of the country’s top crime writ ers will make his way to the Whit sundays as part of a national tour.

Bestselling novelist and ex-journalist Chris Hammer will be the guest of honour at Proserpine, Cannonvale, and Bowen li braries on October 11 for Author Talks on his latest crime novel, The Tilt.

Hammer, a renowned journalist of 30 years, stepped into the creative sphere with a series of bestselling crime novels: The Martin Scarsden series.

In free events across the region’s libraries, Hammer will sit down with journalists from the region – including Whitsunday Life journalist Declan Durrant – to answer questions and sign copies of his novels.

Attendees will also be able to purchase limited copies of Chris’ newest novel.

In The Tilt, to be published October 5, a swirling sequence of events revolv ing around the Murray River lead newly minted homicide detective Nell Buchanan down a path of familial intrigue.

A man runs for his life in a forest, a woman plans sabotage, a body is unearthed, and Buchanan, who returns to her hometown, annoyed at being assigned a decades-old murder, begins to question how well she truly knows those closest to her.

stunning, multi-layered novel that serves as a light sequel to Hammer’s novel Trea sure and Dirt.

Hammer will visit the three libraries for an hour respectively, with 25 minutes allo cated to in conversation with a journalist, then roughly thirty minutes of question time.

Through Depression To Contentment

Bob Eden is on a mission to eradi cate suicide.

The Whitsunday-based fit ter-turner turned folk singer and author is set to release his first book ‘The Gift of Depression, My Little Scrap Book’ with one mission in mind: sharing his story to save even just one life.

“Every 40 seconds, someone dies be cause of depression, and they do not have to. I am living proof of that,” Bob said.

“I believe that by sharing our stories, we can help to heal each other.”

Born in England, Bob had a turbulent childhood with an absent father and a violent mother. It left him with untrue lessons about his life which led him to an eventual battle with depression and anxiety.

“In 1984, three o’clock in the morning, I had my first panic attack. I went to the doctor and was put into the western med ical model and I was in that for 20 years. Different antidepressants, psychiatrists, psychologists,” Bob said.

“That was my dance with depression. I could not understand it; but I do now”

Far from England and having lived in the Whitsundays for almost two decades, Bob

is ready to lay out the lessons of his life in written word, sharing them with the peo ple who need them most.

His scrap book is the story of a life that vastly changed direction. From a fit ter-turner to a “depression recovery spe cialist and men’s wellbeing advocate”, managing ships and sailing to authoring books and managing festivals, like Win

termoon – Bob Eden has done it all and come out the other side with the scars to show for it.

“It took 20 years for me to realise that I could not think my way out, I had to listen to my body, and I did,” Bob said.

“I am master and commander of my life and I take full responsibility for this life that I create. Every event that happens in

Arts Prize Winners Announced

my life holds a lesson for me, I just must find and learnt it.

“My book just tells my story of my journey from trauma and despair to contentment, it describes the tools I found and used to completely recover from depression.”

Bob will launch The Gift Of Depression, My Little Scrap Book at Cannonvale Li brary on November 28 at 10am.

Ahost of talented artist were cele brated as part of the Whitsundays Arts Festival, with their work on public exhibition during the festivities and several of them picked to win lucrative art awards for their contribution.

The major prize was won by Justin Telfer from Mullumbimby in New South Wales, for his work ‘Nullabor Crossing.’

Justin was awarded the $5,000 major prize, and his work will be acquired into the Whitsundays Regional Council Art Col

lection.

Winner of the Local Artist Award went to Cannonvale resident Jacqui Henderson for her piece ‘Summer Holiday’.

She received $1000 in prize money.

Other categories included Young Artist Award which was won by Cameron Letta (Leonay) for ‘Red Gum’ and the 3D Sculp ture Award was won by Bowen resident Barry Smith for ‘Security’.

The 2D Works on Paper Award went to

Tanya Coventry from Bowen for ‘Febru ary’ and the R&K Kenyon Award went to Java Small for ‘Meerkat’.

Only its second year, the Whitsundays Art Prize is a vibrant visual arts award, incor porating painting and sculpture and this year, the exhibition included 70 works from 63 Australian artists.

The event was held at the Elbow Room at Coral Sea Marina Resort from 23-30 Sep tember with the winners announced on the opening night.

Exhibition Coordinator Glenda Brown said she was honoured to be bringing art to the heart of Airlie Beach.

“Supporting these incredible artists and showcasing works from around Australia in our beautiful region, the Whitsundays Arts Festival exists to highlight art and arts practice,” she said.

The prize winners were selected by guest judge Tracy Cooper-Lavery, Director, Gal lery and Visual Arts at HOTA Home of the Arts Gold Coast.

Whitsunday author Bob Eden will release his debut book in late November, which follows his story and lessons from a life lifted from depression

Cast your mind back to 2009: Barack Obama was inaugu rated as the 44th President of the United States in January, Kesha’s Tik Tok topped the charts most of the year, Chrysler went bankrupt in May, the King Of Pop, Michael Jack son, passed away in June. And a lit tle, independent film (ha ha) called ‘Avatar’ hit cinemas on December 18, changing the cinema landscape, namely the modern blockbuster, for ever.

The epic adventure famously inspired by Pocahontas is returning to theatres this year to give audiences a nostalgia hit; let ting them revisit a film, now in glorious 4k and with impeccable high-dynamic range, that was an absolute world-beater when it arrived in a far different entertainment atmosphere than now (it was pre-Marvel Cinematic Universe, for goodness sake). But it also serves as an opportunity to in troduce people who have never seen it be fore to the world of the Na’vi – a world both beautiful and terrifying - that stretched the limits of computer generation imagery, simulation, and motion capture technolo

gy.

And it’s perfectly timed to get people ready for the sequel, Avatar: The Way of Water, before it hits theatres this December.

Looking at Avatar from afar – having been through (and still going through) global warming, a worldwide pandemic, the po tential cusp of World War III - it’s hard to understand, or even remember, the pande monium it caused.

I saw Avatar three times in cinemas – and I wasn’t the only one. Still to this day, it’s the highest grossing film of all time (thanks to a re-release in China it reclaimed the top

spot). It was an absolute phenomenon in every sense of the word, in part thanks to three factors: its story is simple, its visu als were revolutionary, and it encapsulated the essence of cinema; passion, spectacle, and heart.

To see Avatar on the big screen was ex traordinary – and now we can do it all over again.

Revisit Avatar, or experience it for the first time, at the Bowen Summergarden Cine ma on September 30.

The

King Of The Mountain is about to become the King Of The Coast when an all-star tribute to some of Australia’s top rock bands arrives at the Airlie Beach Hotel in October.

In the “ultimate Saturday Session rock out”, three legendary Aussie bands will star in one epic afternoon show. The Angels, Divinyls, and Midnight Oil Tribute Show will rock out to the sound of Oz anthems of the eighties at The Pub.

Three of the most energetic and dynamic rock bands ever to grace the live stage will be mashed together in this free show of hits ga lore.

From ‘Beds are Burning’ to ‘Blue Sky Mine’ and everything else in between, you can expect the Oils’ full repertoire of Australian classics.

Then, get ready to ‘Touch Yourself’ and rage with the ‘Boys in Town’ for a little trip into the world of ‘Science Fiction’ with Chrissy and the Divinyls.

But there’s no chance to take a break because the day will wrap up with a nonstop trip into Aussie rock history with the incredible Angels.

Everything from ‘Take a Long Line’, ‘Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again’, and ‘Marseilles’, to ‘Coming Down’, ‘We Gotta Get Outta This Place’ and much, much more.

It’ll be like being transported to Blue Sky Mine, or back to when you grew up in the greatest era of Oz Rock. If you’ve wished you could trav el back in time to see a band that wanted to knock your head off with great music, this is the show for you.

Airlie Beach audiences will be floored by the dynamic and expressive moves of this trib ute that recaptures the prime performances of Garrett and the Oils, or the giant slabs of Aussie rock legends that are Doc Neesen and The Angels, and the incredible star power of Chrissy Amphlett fronting the Divinyls.

Each will take the bar-top stage in full costume (paired with theatrical performances) at The Pub for a weekend show that’ll have you sing ing along to the sounds of Austra lia’s rock roots.

It’s three legendary Oz bands for free at The Pub – what’s not to love? Don’t miss The Angels, Di vinyls, and Midnight Oil Tribute Show when it rocks and rolls into Airlie Beach on October 15.

Young Talent Shines In Bowen

Afull

house greeted the ambitious youngsters who sung their hearts out at the second heat of Young Whitsundays Got Talent competition which was held at the Grandview Hotel in Bowen on Sunday.

A total of 12 contestants and four bands performed in front of over 150 guests who all threw their support behind these young and emerging artists.

Event organiser Paula Hovey said it was a fantastic day.

“There was phenomenal talent, and it was a full house!” she said.

Airlie Beach Festival of Music (ABFoM) founder, Gavin Butlin (Butto), said that the future of music is in safe hands which is testament to the quality of artist that performed on the day.

The event is now in its fourth year and is a gateway for young musicians to per form live on stage and, if selected, progress to the finals which are due to be held at Northerlies on October 23.

The winner and runner-up of the compe tition will be permitted backstage at the upcoming ABFoM for a ‘live’ experience where they can meet some industry leg ends and discover what it is like to be a superstar.

The Bowen heat guest judges included Councillor Jan Clifford, Bonnie Nicole from ABFoM and radio presenter Tony Fossey.

Five-piece girl band ‘My Envy’ rocked out to Oasis’ Wonderwall and shot through to the grand final with their rendition of this 90’s classic.

Also heading to Northerlies next month is 18-year-old solo performer Tiffany Grace who is a “well-acclaimed young artist with amazing talent” and performed an origi nal song with her guitar on the day.

Solo artist Sienna Baxwell also got herself a place in the finals for the second year in

a row.

This confident young lady with incredible stage presence is hoping to take the top spot this year.

While seven-year-old, Echo, did not make it to the finals, she did receive an encour agement award and will be performing on the day.

The Grand Finals will see the culmination of the all the talent perform in one event,

bringing together winners from both the Proserpine and Bowen heats.

Winners from past years will also hit the stage and include Noah Robertson and Ivanna Laggos.

The curtain closes on an other successful Whitsun day Arts Festival today with the finale of the celebration’s Art Prize Exhibition at Coral Sea Resort, finishing at 1.00pm.

The 2022 Festival saw its dedicat ed team of volunteers once again decorate the foreshore with the allusivity of memory, which was this year’s theme.

In what is one of the region’s most unique events, it provided tourists and the community an experience celebrating the Whit sundays’ cultural richness.

With its regular program of craft workshops and handmade art

markets, the festival expanded its offering with additions such as film screenings, a songwriter residency, and concert and con versation dinners.

But most importantly, the Fes tival this year celebrated the life and mourned the passing of its founder: Cathy Knezevic after a long battle with cancer. She, who inspired the entire Whitsunday Arts’ team, shared her joy for life with the region, her love of art, her warmth and empathy, and her sheer brilliance.

This year, the Festival continued its ambition of creating an engag ing and educational gathering of

artists and art, letting them cel ebrate the tapestry they are part of throughout the Whitsundays Community.

The 2022 Whitsundays Arts Festival invited the region on a journey of music, film, perfor mance, sculpture, visual arts, and songwriting – as well as a voyage through memory: smells, sounds, and images.

And most importantly, it remem bered one woman’s dream of a festival where performance and the arts could bring joy and forge memories of its own.

Vale Cathy.

There is no magic to exercise; only that you get out of it what you put in.

That doesn’t mean you have to work out for hours each day – it means you need to work smart.

Not all exercises are created equal, some are simply more efficient than others, whether they target multiple muscle groups, are suita ble for a wide variety of fitness levels, or help you burn calories more effectively.

So, what are the best exercises?

Walking

Any exercise program should include cardiovascular exercise, which strengthens the heart and burns calories. And walking is something you can do anywhere, anytime, with no equipment other than a good pair of shoes.

It’s not just for beginners, either: Even the very fit can get a good workout from walking.

Doing a brisk walk can burn up to 500 calories per hour. Since it takes 3,500 calories to lose a pound, you could expect to lose a pound for every seven hours you walk, if you did nothing else.

Beginners should start by walking five to -10 minutes at a time, gradually moving up to at least 30 minutes per session. So, get trotting, build up that time, and see the benefits.

Interval training

Whether you’re a beginner or an exercise veteran, a walker or an aerobic dancer, adding interval training to your cardiovascular work out will boost your fitness level and help you lose weight.

The way to do it is to push the intensity or pace for a minute or two, then back off for anywhere from two to -10 minutes (depending on how long your total workout will be, and how much time you need to recover). Contin ue doing this throughout the workout.

Strength Training

Strength training is essential; the more muscular fitness you have, the greater the capacity you have to burn calories.

Strength-training exercises that target multiple muscle groups are the bee’s knees, making squats, which work the quadriceps, hamstrings, and gluteals, the go to.

Squats: form is key.

For perfect form, keep feet shoulder-width apart and back straight. Bend knees and lower your rear.

Lunges: Like squats, lunges work all the major muscles of the lower body: gluteals, quadri ceps, and hamstrings.

Push-ups: If done correctly, the push-up can strengthen the chest, shoulders, triceps, and even the core trunk muscles, all at one time.

Proper health and movement – getting and staying active – can often be overwhelming and hard to stay in the routine. We can get so busy in life, and balancing work with good exercise can fall by the wayside. Good move ment is a critical part of staying healthy and developing your health, whether it be mental or physical.

While there are plenty of approaches one can take to improve, there are some simple steps anyone can take to get the ball rolling.

We asked the experts: if you could give one piece of movement advice, what would it be?

If you’re doing something, make it walking! After adjustments, we always recommend a short walk to help the bodies nervous system recalibrate. The short-term benefits of walking can help with blood flow to the back and pelvis, which assists with healing and maintaining the spine. It also helps produce serotonin which not only makes you feel good but helps manage chronic pain. Bonus if you grab a coffee for your walk, with the view of the Whitsundays!

Sonny Ivanovic – F45 Airlie Beach

“My number one tip would be to stay con sistent. It’s very difficult to expect to see any results if you are always stop starting. Set a time daily to exercise and treat it like it’s an appointment. Most exercise only needs to be 30 to 45 minutes daily, so it’s not a lot of time in the grand scheme of things, yet its so import for your physical and mental health.”

Manyia Vale – Vibe Yoga

The best ‘movement’ advice from Manyia came in the form of a daily routine mixing mindfulness with movement and emotion: “Breathe deeply and calmly with awareness. Sweat, meditate, and remember to laugh.”

Emma Whybird – Edge Dance

The owner of Edge Dance, which caters for children across the Whitsundays, said she had just one piece of advice for youngsters (and adults) in whatever part of their dance journey they were in: “Dance from the heart.”

Dr Tim Harris – Whitsunday Spine Care

Itwas written in the stars.

Whitsunday United Football Club were crowned Football Queensland Premier League (FQPL) Whitsunday Coast inaugural champions in September of 2022, finishing the season with a tally of 49 points, pipping persistent rivals Mack ay Lions in the final game of the regular season. They would face off against Lions twice in the Finals series of the competi tion, beating them twice to confirm “the double” – winning two trophies: the FQPL Title and the Grand Final Trophy.

It seems a long time since the junior clubs of Proserpine, Bowen, and Airlie Beach’s football associations sat down and amal gamated to create a senior pathway for football in the region in 2019: Whitsun day United Football Club. And it seems an

even longer time since the club was known and playing as Whitsunday Football Club; even longer since they were the Cannon vale Cyclones. A long journey for a region whose primary exports and sporting suc cesses are more often reserved for football of a different kind.

It seems an age since the foundations of a team that would make history – claiming Whitsunday United’s first ever Men’s Pre miership – were lain.

The story of their championship winning side – the side that broke the duck, ending the drought – began the season prior, with a spectacular series of final games that in stilled belief in a team which, in previous years and even that season itself, struggled with players and results.

There is one game in particular, played in

Proserpine in the latter stages of the 2021 season, which highlights the team’s fight ing spirit: The Battle Of Proserpine

Of the players who would comprise the starting lineup for 2022’s championship winning team, five played in the game that saw Whitsunday United claw back from defeat, scoring five goals to beat Mackay Brothers Football Club in a 5-4 win.

That side went on to be undefeated in their last regular season fixtures, making a late finals charge. They beat or drew against every single team in the dying embers of the 2021 season, all the way until the finals themselves, which saw them eventually lose out to Mackay Lions in the semis.

Revenge is a dish best served cold.

There was a promise made on that last

matchday for the team: We will be back next year, and we will be stronger.

Those who played would form the spine of the side that went on to win the league, and a strong series of recruits in pre-sea son saw Whitsunday United go from offagain-on-again world-beaters to consis tent champions-elect.

These are your Whitsunday United Foot ball Club Football Queensland Premier League Champions and Grand Final win ners:

Scott Ferries, Harry Hodgen, Hayden Fil by, Ben Seago, Luke Swift, Declan Durrant, Tommy Torzsok, James McEvoy-Bowe, Connor Mcavoy, Martyn Goodey, Jose Pu entes, Kurt Ashley, Sam Blake, Scott Boldy, Ben Farrell, Nick Hansen, and Luke Night ingale.

The

“Road To Glory” began for the Whitsundays’ favourite football team back in early January, as the eventual champions kicked off their pre season. A new coach, the returning Nick Hodgen, whose last spell as manager with the club was in 2014, combined with new players, spelling for a strong outing in the competition – but did they expect the result?

There was undoubted belief in the dress ing room from day one, even though their first fixtures indicated otherwise.

A string of new players had found their way to the men’s side, and the reinforce ments certainly proved the difference.

Ex-professional footballers and high lev el Australian National Premier League

Players (or slightly below that upper ech elon of football) like the Scotts: the agile playmaker Scott Ferries – eventual win ner of the league Best and Fairest award – and the lightning quick Scott Boldy. As well as players like Connor Mcavoy – a bulldog on the pitch who often “did Scott Ferries’ dirty work” – each of whom bol stered the already strong squad who were a hangover from those frantic final series of games in 2021.

Nick Hodgen’s arrival ushered in a spate of fresh ideas to turn the once quick, counter-attacking side into a metro nomic, possession-based machine, and also brought with him his son, Harry Hodgen, a lightning paced winger with a penchant for dribbling, and who would end the regular season with 29 goals (the

Slaying The Lion

competitions Golden Boot winner).

Thomas Torzsok, Sam Blake, and captain James McEvoy-Bowe remained from the previous season as a class above the rest in terms of both technical ability and physical attributes. The team was already looking like a strong side.

In their first three fixtures of the season, Whitsunday United were collecting ev ery form of result: winning one, drawing one, and losing one – but it was time for the team to turn a corner.

On April 2 in Round Four, the team were to face against Mackay City Brothers – a team who’d so often been their “bogey” side. But who they’d also beaten in spec tacular fashion the season before. So, it was time to set the tone.

They wasted no time in their demolition of the City Brother’s Squad, although they had gone behind 0-1 at the begin ning of the game to a nervy penalty. Harry Hodgen opened his account, and it stayed open: he scored four goals. Six other players added to the tally, ending the game 10-2 and giving what had been a rowdy home crowd plenty to cheer about.

The next week, they demolished Mackay Wanderers 7-3, and it seemed the ball was more than just rolling.

But, the perennial enemy of their season reared their heads for the first time.

Whitsunday

United played Mackay Lions Soccer Club six times in their season. Twice in the finals and four times in the league. Each proving a pivotal match.

In Round Six of the FQPL Whitsunday Coast Men’s competition, Whitsunday United travelled to Mackay Lions home ground to face off against a team who had historically had the better of the beach side for years.

On their long, wide pitch, the Lions side were a constant threat: they had the pace to hurt you with a simple ball over the top. That ball over the top was the order of the day.

United lost 3-2 in their first match-up against their eventual Championship Ri

vals – but they knew they were better than the Sugar City side. And when they met up again at Whitsunday Sports Park in a Round Two replay (the previous fix ture postponed due to rain), they certainly played the better football.

Lion’s counter-attacking prowess saw them win that game 0-2, with Whitsundays struggling to put the ball in the back of the net. And it was the same story for Round 14, when United travelled to Mackay once more to face their challengers. Only a few points separated the sides due to Lion’s dropped points in other fixtures, but Lions were up again – winning in a contentious 2-1 result that saw the Whitsundays’ hopes potentially dashed.

It was now do or die: United needed to win every single fixture until the end of the sea

son and hope for results to go their way in other games or to win on goal difference. Lions would draw the very next game in Round 15. And Whitsundays had a sniff of a chance.

They met again in Round 18.

In a hard and physical game played at breakneck speed, the Whitsunday Men were the better side all over the park. The yellow cards were flying with neither side taking a backward step, but the speed and class proved the difference in the end.

Led by displays of individual brilliance by midfielder Scott Ferries, as well as Hayden Filby, the side rallied for an emphatic 3-1 victory against the (at the time) league leaders.

United went on to win their four remain ing fixtures, seeing them crowned as Mi nor Premiers after winning against Mack ay Magpie Crusaders 3-0 at home.

In the two finals games, they faced off against Lions in two games featuring some world-class footballing performances from players like Tommy Torszok, Ben Seago, captain James Mcevoy-Bowe, and Mar tyn Goodey. They had beaten the Mackay side’s spirit down, and both ended goalless for Lions at a neutral ground in Mackay.

Whitsunday 4, Lions 0 in the Major Semi. Whitsunday 3, Lions 0 in the Grand Final.

Champions Of The Whitsundays with 49 points from 20 games.

Whitsunday World Champion Athletes Representing The Country

TRIATHLON

Three triathletes from Airlie Beach have qualified for two unique world events where they’ll represent Aus tralia across the month of October.

Michael Kimpton, Daniel McDonnell, and Alisha Rust – Airlie Beach and Hamilton Island athletes – will head to the United States in October to compete across two outings as international athletes.

For the full-distance Ironman World Championships, Kimpton will represent the region as he arrives in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii for one of the most incredible events on the planet and the pinnacle of triathlon sport.

He’ll compete where professional and age group triathletes from around the World dream of racing: on Ironman’s main stage.

The iconic event “defines the sport of triathlon”, with the very best triathletes worldwide embarking on a 3.8-kilome tre ocean swim, 180-kilometre cycle, and finishing with a 42-kilometre run through the barren lava fields of Hawaii.

“For most, it is the ultimate test of strength, mind and spirit,” said Airlie Beach triath lete Michael Kimpton, who qualified for the race’s 65–69-year-old age group.

“I’m so happy to be representing Australia, and especially considering I’m only a new bie to the sport!”

Kona serves as the first of two Ironman championships that the group will head to the United States for, when in late Oc tober, the entire trio of Kimpton, McDon nell, and Rust will be heading to Utah for

the Half Ironman 70.3 World Championship.

Each contestant from Airl ie Beach is a member of the Whitsunday Triathlon Club, qualifying for their respective age groups at the Half Ironman World Championships: Mc Donnell in age group 18 to 24, and Rust in age group 25 to 29.

The trio will compete in the gruelling run through the heat of St George and Greater Zion National Park in Utah.

The course offers miles of ad venture and inspiration for its triathletes to test their mettle in the shadows of red rocks and desert.

Although a lesser distance than Kailua-Kona, the Zion course poses its own challenges.

A Reservoir swim of 1.93-ki lometress, followed by a hilly bike course of 90.1-kilometress, gaining 3,500 feet elevation through ‘’Snow Canyon’’- all in oppressive heat – and a run course of 21.1-kilometres, again on a hilly course.

Utah Ironman has been called ‘’The Land of Endurance’’.

The three “gun athletes” will serve as Whitsundays’ exports for the region, who are looking forward to taking the Whitsun days’ spirit to the world stage.

The

club is one week closer to finding out who’s name will be on the Premier League trophy at the end of this year’s season. One thing we do know for certain, is that there will be a new name on the cup this year.

On Thursday morning, Jamie Maher and Andy Peel played in the first pre lim final, with Jamie getting off to a great start taking the first five legs.

After a short break, Andy claimed his first leg of the match, but Jamie kept the pressure on with a 71 and a 133 checkout to go 7/1 ahead.

Andy fought hard, winning three of the next four legs, but ultimately the head start proved to be too big for Andy to reel in, and with Jamie checking out so well, the match finished with him win ning the contest 10/4.

In the second preliminary final, 3rd placed Joe Wilson had to battle it out with Dom Friend, who finished the league in 4th, for a place in this year’s

This match began in similar fashion to the other final with Dom taking command of the match early. With a 7-nil lead, and hitting a 180 as well as a 122-bullseye checkout, Dom was in full control, and the result looked in evitable.

Joe to his credit though came back strong and had Dom worried when he hit his own 117-ton checkout.

With the match nicely poised at 8/5, Dom looked a little uncomfortable, and had to find something extra to get across the finish line, but at 9/5 the writing was on the wall.

Joe had given it his all, but in the end, he left himself with too much to do. The final score was 10/5 to Dom, meaning both Jamie and Dom will contest this year’s Premier League final.

The Premier League is sponsored by Mika Airlie and Whitsunday Tattoo ing, thank you for your support.

A Walk In The Parkrun

a short handheld lead.”

Parkrun

may be the name, but you don’t have to run or be a runner to get involved in this free week ly five-kilometre event that takes place at 7am every Saturday morning at Coral Sea Marina.

While walkers have always been welcome and celebrated at the 450 parkruns around Australia each Saturday, Pakrun Australia say the month of October will be dedicated to encouraging even more people to walk.

More than 10% of people who complete the five-kilometre course at Aussie parkruns do so as walkers, and the organisa tion is keen to significantly increase this number.

The campaign will see parkrun change its logo to ‘parkwalk’ for the month of October, with bright pink branding designed to cap ture the attention — and the imagination — of people who might not think that parkrun is for them.

Airlie Beach parkrun vol unteer event director Kara Olver said: “Parkruns are so cial events where there is no time limit and people of all ages and abilities take part, including people pushing prams or with their dog on

“It’s all about getting involved in a way that is fun and comfortable for you. Walking is a great way of soaking up the parkrun at mosphere and chatting with people while being active.”

Ms Olver said it’s one of the best entry points into parkrun, especially for those who may be taking their first steps towards healthier and happier lifestyles.

“Walking at parkrun is a great way to meet new people too, or you can walk with your family or friendship group,” she said.

“One of the great things about parkrun is that you can never come last. Each week we have people who volunteer as tail walk ers, who provide support and encourage ment for walkers and are the last people to finish.”

In addition to the tail walkers, a new vol unteer role of ‘parkwalker’ – who will wear blue vests - is being introduced from the first Saturday in October.

The volunteers will have the role of mix ing with other walkers and having a chat during the five-kilometre walk.

Thousands of people at parkrun take more than an hour to complete the event. In fact, when parkrun started in Australia in 2011 the average finish time was 27 min utes, and now it’s 33 minutes — a statistic the organisation is incredibly proud of be cause it shows that parkrun now appeals to a broader range of people.

Airlie Beach parkrun takes place at Meet ing Area D of Coral Sea Marina every Sat urday at 7am.

Registration is free at www.parkrun.com. au/register

Club Upgrades Harris D, Koa H, Charlie D, Millie G and Isabella P Take your mark!

Airlie Beach Parkrun will be trading in its name for the month of October to encourage more walkers to join its ranks

The famed weekly event will become Parkwalk in an effort to highlight that moving is the goal, not running

Airlie Beach Main Street Roadworks

Whitsunday Regional Council will be undertaking works on the Airlie Beach Main Street from Tuesday 11 October to Thursday 13 October 2022 to repair damaged crossings where charcoal tiles have lifted.

Works will result in:

• Tuesday 7am - 5pm and Wednesday 7am - 1pm: Traffic delays due to partial street closure, one way movement only.

• Thursday 7am - 1pm - Full closure of the Street

Ground movement, frequent heavy traffic and low longevity of tiles in such conditions, has resulted in many tiles within crossings being lifted or displaced.

Essential works are required to fix this issue at six crossing locations where tiles present a trip hazard for persons crossing the the road and where temporary fixes have been installed.

Council apologises for the inconvenience the works may cause and will endevour to manage impacts with businesses and community.

Council’s Engagement Coordinator will visit the Main Street to discuss with businesses and residents by the end of September.

Further information will be shared with key stakeholders and the community via our Online Engagement Portal Your Say Whitsunday.
