Editor’s
Note
It will be very sad to see her go as I think she’s done so much for the community, and it would have been exciting to see what she could have done with a full-term. I do, however, completely understand that health and family come first – in fact, I believe they are the two most important things in life. I will remember Mayor Julie Hall for her genuine affection, ability to show her vulnerable side and her commitment to being the voice of the people. When she first started her term in August 2022, she invited me for a coffee and a chat. We sat for about an hour at a little café in Proserpine and discussed how we could both work together. One of her questions I will always remember – “how can we deliver more for you?”
And I think that is one of the overarching statements that typifies her tenure; she was always asking how Council could better serve the community, for that is really what Council are there to do. Often, in this role I’d imagine it could be easy to fall into agenda or self-promotion, so it’s been fabulous to see that she continued the good work of Andrew Willcox in serving the community with integrity. I hope the next Mayor, whomever he or she may be, serves with the same attitude and is able to really unite Councillors who can appear fractioned at times. On the next page you will see that we’ve asked each Councillor whether they’ll be running for Mayor. It’s certainly going to be an interesting few days while we wait to see who comes forward and if there are a couple of wild cards out there who might take us all by surprise!

t the height of Cyclone Kirrily, with predictions stating it may indeed make landfall near the Whitsundays, Jen Frisby-Young arrived at the Cannonvale SES Site ready to fill and collect some sandbags for her family home. With her husband away at sea for work, Jen headed to the sandbag location with two of her three young children. Once she figured out how the situation worked, she began filling her first sandbag and moved it to her car, when she experienced a touch of pain. “I had just given birth two weeks earlier, and I thought I would be okay, but I felt that pain, and that was something I didn’t anticipate,” Jen explained. Not one to reach out for help, but rather the person who jumps up to help everyone else, Jen was surprised when two other locals filling up sandbags
interrupted her and offered their assistance. “I told them I had just given birth and immediately they were like ‘Don’t you move, do not pick up anything’,” Jen explained. “I was so overwhelmed, and I just started crying. I am usually the one to help, and to have these people recognise that I needed some help was just amazing.” Turning to facebook afterwards, Jen shared her thanks and was pleasantly surprised by other locals sharing similar stories of good Samaritans lending a hand. “A few of the stories featured the very same couple too, who were just helping anyone they could. “It really is a testament to our community, of the great people we have in our community that just want to help where they can.”

Waltzing Matilda Charter skipper fined $15,000. Photo supplied
rivate sailing charter company, Waltzing Matilda, and its skipper has been charged $15,000 following a three-day charter which saw the classic sailing yacht without adequate supervision, drifting away with passengers onboard in November 2022.
ty stated that, “The skipper also failed to provide the required standard of lifejackets for the passengers, failed to properly secure the tender to the main vessel to ensure it would not drift away and allowed multiple safety violations to occur during the grounding.”
The charter boat had been hired for a 21st birthday celebration which ended in disaster when the skipper disembarked the vessel to venture to Hill Inlet, leaving some of its 13 passengers alone on the vessel.
“The magistrate noted in court that the grounding would have been terrifying for the passengers on board,” AMSA said.
The court found the vessel had been improperly secured, and drifted away, while the skipper, from his position on land, yelled instructions to the passengers on how to return the boat to shore. Once on board again, the skipper turned the boat to Whitehaven Beach, however, it became grounded on some rocks. The passengers escaped to a nearby tender, and the court heard how the skipper told them he did not want to call the Volunteer Marine Rescue for assistance. The Australia Maritime Safety Authori-
The skipper was also operating the vessel without proper certifications, “assuming the role of master without the proper qualifications and reckless operation of the vessel which, amongst a litany of other serious safety issues, led to the vessel grounding near Hook Passage in the Whitsundays,” according to AMSA. The skipper was charged with three offences under the Marine Safety (Domestic Commercial Vessel) National Law Act 2012, and was also charged for failure to pay the fines related to the incident. The skipper also failed to appear at the Proserpine Magistrates Court for the hearing.
The McGrath Foundation is dedicated to supporting thousands of McGrath Breast Care Nurse, which in-turn provide vital care to people with breast cancer, and their families. Bowen Cricket has been hosting these fabulous fundraisers for a decade and is looking forward to once again welcoming hundreds of ladies for a lively and inspiring event which features guest speakers, charity prizes and lots of fun. “It started with a gathering of wives and moms of the cricket association,” explained Club President, Seth Mcintosh.

S
The volunteers of Bowen Tourism and Business were honoured at a morning tea last week, where they were thanked for their dedicated service and lasting commitment to the town. For Steve Fisher, better known as ‘Fish’, he began volunteering with the team following his retirement in 2015. “I found myself lost, with nothing to do,” Fish explained.
And having caravanned across Australia with his wife, Chips, he knew he would be able to share recommendations and stories with visitors by volunteering at the Big Mango Tourist Information Centre. “I find this so rewarding and personally fulfilling. I love the Big Mango, and I am grateful for everything Leanne and the team have been able to offer me.” Other members of the dream team are
Tourism Takes $35M Hit
T
he tourism industry is inching its way back to the black following bad weather events which have significantly impacted the expected visitor numbers and, in-turn, the amount of tourism dollars flying into the region.
Rick Hamilton, CEO of Tourism Whitsundays said it’s been a hectic few weeks for the industry. “The past six weeks have been eventful to say the least - two cyclones, Christmas Holidays, Clipper Race and a long week-
end,” he said.
“Unfortunately, we’ve taken a huge hit as a region with over $35 million in losses from the two cyclones that didn’t hit us, and the weather events affected the Christmas holidays, Clipper Race and long weekend to varying degrees.” While these impacts are frustrating to operators, they are also a common part of life for our resilient small business owners who are adept at bouncing back from weather events.
Business Conference This May
B
usinesses from across the region are invited to register for the inaugural Whitsundays Business Conference which is organised by the Whitsunday Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and due to take place later this year. The Conference will be held Friday, May 31 and will bring together the region’s
business community and stakeholders for an inspiring day of education, sharing knowledge and experience. The morning program will be hosted in Proserpine, with attendees invited to the subsequent afternoon of practical workshops and a Sundowner cocktail networking event in Cannonvale.
Anne and Mark Steen and for them, volunteering is a way to give back to Bowen. “We love showing tourists the best of Bowen and sharing knowledge and experience,” Mark said. Bowen Tourism and Business has 18 active volunteers who welcome visitors at the Bowen Visitor Information Centre next to the Big Mango and the information booth at Bowen’s Front Beach.
Mr Hamilton is currently advocating for some disaster support and is a discussing recovery campaign Tourism and Events Queensland (TEQ) and the Department of Tourism and Sport (DTS).
Manager of Bowen Tourism and Business, Leanne Abernethy said the volunteers were an integral part of the organisation. “They are so dedicated and passionate about our town and the entire region,” she said. “We held the morning tea as a small token of our appreciation, and we presented each of them with a small gift. Some of them have been helping Bowen Tourism for more than 10 years!”
“The results of this will be submitted to TEQ and DTS,” said Mr Hamilton.
“I’ll let you know more on that when we have confirmation of the approach,” he explained.
“The results of the survey will compound our bid for further funding to aid tourism recovery in The Whitsundays.”
In the meantime, operators are invited to take a quick survey to register their account of damage caused by TC Kirrily.

Collinsville Turns Pink To Fight Breast Cancer
T
Collinsville Sea of Pink were named Mater Foundation Community Heroes last year
his March, Collinsville is turning pink, to celebrate International Women’s Day and help fundraise for the Mater Foundation, to fight breast cancer.
Part of the fundraising will include the annual fun run which will be held on Sunday, March 10. This event has become a well-supported community tradition and aligns nicely with the Sea of Pink events which are set to take place across Australia over the same weekend. With the 2023 Collinsville event raising over $9,200, the local Sea of Pink team were named Mater Foundation Community Heroes last year which was a huge honour for the region.
They are now hoping to repeat the same and ideally smash last years’ target. For organiser Alice Randell, the event has been made more personal by the friends and family members diagnosed with breast cancer in the past year. “Organising this event has started conversations about breast cancer at work and at home,” Alice said. “When women share their experiences, it empowers others to be proactive about their health.” “As you get older, you begin to meet more and more people affected by breast cancer, and the importance of this sort of event grows today.” Supported by Collinsville local businesses,

the team will be hosted by the Collinsville Golf Club, with Collinsville QCWA branch catering a well-deserved breakfast, and the local butcher, Stanley Street Butchers, donating a dollar from every sale in February and March. “It’s fantastic to see so much support from local businesses and community groups,” Alice said. “With this event, it’s great as community groups get behind us, and do their own thing. The Collinsville Youth Coalition are having a Pink Pancake day, and we know more will get on board too. “This community is so proactive to get behind us and this cause.”
team has already over 50 registered team members, and over $4,500 raised for the cause. “If you’re interested in joining us and showing your support for women with breast cancer, please register for the event. “With the Country Women’s Association putting on breakfast, and the walk only five kilometres, it’s such an easy event to get behind. We’re not all athletes and we try and make it a good atmosphere for a Sunday morning.” To join the Collinsville Sea of Pink team or to show support, scan the QR code.

he secret to love for this couple is quality time, with every moment spent together a cherished and loving piece of their wider puzzle. Amy Dolman knew that Reece Nesbitt was the person for her when she saw him walking out of a restaurant one evening. “He just walked out of the Restaurant I was going to in his chef uniform and I knew I had found a handsome man to cook for me for the rest of my life,” Amy laughed.
good, the bad and the ugly, and of completing the simple mundane tasks together, like spending time at the beach together. Amy and Reece’s top tip for a lasting and loving relationship: “Keep going on adventures and keep having fun!”
“Sometimes you need humour, so you don’t kill each other!” They laughed. It began with an interesting introduction, with Norina rummaging in the work fridge, while Tim was being shown through his new workplace, the Proserpine Airport. “I was head in and bum out of the fridge grabbing the first-class chocolates after the flight departure and Tim walked in with his new boss who was attempting to introduce us, and he said ‘well, this is Norina’s arse.’ And the laughter began from day one!” Norina explained.
just hanging out, keeping life simple, and enjoying each other’s company.” And, of course, their romance hinges on their laughter. For Nettie, “If you’re not annoying in some way during the day, life would be pretty boring - as long as it’s in a fun way.” Greg and Nettie’s top tip for love: “Unconditional love is patience and understanding of one another.”
And great memories they have shared, with one of the more memorable being their 28th wedding anniversary. “We took a private helicopter and flew out over the Whitsunday Islands, lunched and dined on Whitehaven.”
They have spent time travelling Europe together and creating long-lasting memories, of the

Now, with 30 years of marriage behind them, Greg and Nettie are as inseparable as they were when they first met, and for them, it’s not always about the romance, but a vow to each other. “It’s not always about the romance but more of making forever memories,” Greg explained.
Now, eight exciting years on, Amy and Reece keep their connection alive and thriving, passion in every moment of their time together.
9 years of being in a relationship has turned a romantic spark into a strong bond for Norina Jane and Tim Perkins, with their love for each other strengthening through their shared sense of humour.

For this pair, no challenge is too big, always being there for the other, and being a stable, confident rock for the other to rely upon. “Nettie and I have been inseparable for 30 years. We work, live and love together every day and appreciate every minute of every day,” Greg explained. around is one thing they love doing together and that now includes sharing some down time with their grandson.
“When we are not working, we love
“We love our time with our grandson, Rohan. It’s great to let go of all other responsibilities and clown around for a while”. That’s the humour shining through again. “Making up songs and singing them to Tim’s beat, play-arguing over who loves him the most, chasing each other down the beach, building stick houses from driftwood and laughing with his interpretation of the world. Turns out he loves to laugh too!” Tim and Norina’s tips for keeping the spark alive: “Don’t take each other for granted, not even for a day. What you take for granted, you stop caring about.”
For this pair, they cherish the fun moments together, laughing at the adventures and shenanigans they get up to. “I remember when we spent the night in a tent at the bottom of Ayres Rock, having no idea that it would get down to 1 degree!” Norina explained. “With no blankets, we just barely made it through the night. We have never wanted to be so close as we were that night. If you are struggling with intimacy, we strongly recommend going to the snow ill equipped for the night. You can thank us later!” In fact, laughing and playing

T
his will be a weekend of rock, a weekend of beats, and a weekend where the show must go on, there is no doubt about that. Get ready to rock, with the Queen Rocks tribute show checking into the Airlie Beach Hotel for one weekend of two massive rock shows! With intricate beats and accurate costuming, plus a dash of suspended disbelief, be transported to the heyday of Queen, hear the unforgettable tracks of Freddie Mercury, and rock out the only way you can. “We started as just a group of mates wanting to play our favourite Queen songs,” Jason Hess, the group’s ‘Freddie’, explained. “We loved the music and wanted to pay our respects, and from there, it just
grew into the tribute show it is now.” Bringing on accurate costuming and the unforgettable energy, Queen Rocks embodies everything that Queen represents. “We use the same equipment, and wear the same costumes,” Jason said. “We enjoy honouring their legacy and pay our respects the best way we can. We have dedicated much of ourselves to this show, in order to produce the best show imaginable.” The music will be alive, with two hours of non-stop classics, the audience should be prepared to be out of their chairs, moving to the beats and swaying with the energy. N o w,
what is Jason’s favourite track to belt out on this show? “I love playing ‘Somebody to Love’. The beats and rhythm are so joyous and excited, but the lyrics, when you really listen to it, are so sad and sombre,” Jason explained. “We love letting the music go and getting the crowd in on the chorus. It’s great for audience participation.” And what is Queen Rock’s go-to track to get the crowd going? “’Bohemian Rhapsody’, hands down, gets the crowd going like no other. We’ll play a few strings, hint to the song a little, and instantly everyone knows what’s about to happen. It’s great to get the audience up and singing, belting out the lyrics and dancing to the music.” “’Bohemian Rhapsody’ is great to capture the excitement of the room, so put your dancing shoes on, and get involved!”

Local Wins Gold And Silver At Windsurfer World’s friends and on water rivals.
WINDSURFING
A
Fellow Port Denison Sailing Club member and Bowen local Sam Belyea (aged 16 at the time) joined the medium weights and was awarded the Western Australian Junior Champion at the WA States prior to the Worlds. He also positioned 12th overall in the medium weight course racing in his very first World Competition and gained invaluable large fleet experience.
irlie Beach local Dennis Winstanley has shown the high calibre of NQ sailing talent in the Windsurfer World Championships held over the New Year at the South of Perth Yacht Club in Western Australia, winning gold in the heavy weight Course Racing and silver in the Marathon. The 2023 Worlds were held in Australia, following the successful reboot of Windsurfer World Competitions in Italy in 2022. Taking the opportunity to attend a rare ‘home’ Worlds, Dennis, former 2001 World Champion and multiple national champion travelled with his family to WA in the hope of using the windy west coast as a good training ground in the lead up to the event as he hadn’t competed nationally for 5 years.
Dennis credits his time sailing over the years from Hamilton Island, Airlie Beach,
and Bowen for his ability to adjust to all wind, wave, and tide conditions on the water, and looks forward to the racing season beginning on February 11th at Port Denison Sailing Club, Bowen. Port Denison Sailing Club will also host the Qld Windsurfer State Championships mid-year, with dates TBA, and it is hoped that interstate competitors will travel to pit themselves against the hot Qld contingent in preparation for the Worlds in September.
The spectacular Marathon had 250 competitors start on a near kilometre-long starting line. Dennis and Australian Olympic medalist windsurfer Lars Kleppich broke away from the fleet early on and battled it out for first and second the entire two laps of the river with the lead changing multiple times. Dennis finished second place by only a few metres in an awe-inspiring race between long term Dennis Winstanley practising on the Swan River just prior to the main event.
