As the water climbs the beach at high tide the rocks are submerged and when it recedes again, they are exposed once

It appears that the artist, whoever they are, deliberately chose the heaviest rocks they could find to create the giant heart shape that would be du-

rable and resistant to the movements of nature.

Around 20 large rocks have been used in the creation of this majestic piece of art and each weighty piece would have been carried to its new location, placed sturdily on the sand where the intention was for it to remain.

Children play amongst the stones, dogs race around it and people stop to take a look at its calm but strong presence on the beach.

So far, no-one has touched it, fingers crossed it will remain for some time.

Who is the artist? Could they be a young backpacker travelling around Australia and creating a Rock Of Hearts at every beach they can?

Gold, Bronze And A Finalist! Three Gongs For Three Top Tourist Towns

This is the third year in a row that Airlie Beach has been awarded Gold in the Top Small Tourism Town category, with a population between 1,500 and 5,000.

The town will now enter the Hall of Fame and will go into contention for the Best Small Tourist Town in Australia at the national awards held later this year.

Over 16,000 people voted in the awards and Queensland’s top holiday destinations were announced from a shortlist of 16 finalists.

Whitsunday Regional Council Mayor, Ry Collins said he was excited that Airlie Beach had now entered the Hall of Fame after their hat-trick of wins.

“Tourism is one of the three key pillars for our regional economy, and winning gold for three consecutive years is just a reward for the resilience and passion of our tourist operators and the leadership shown of Tourism Whitsundays (TW),” he said.

“This is a great outcome not only for our resort town of Airlie Beach but also for Bowen winning bronze and also for Collinsville who made the finals for the Top Tiny Tourism Town, highlighting the diverse range of visitors’ experiences our

Whitsunday region offers.

“Council is proud to be the major funding supporter for TW and looks forward to partnering with them to continue promoting our Whitsunday region as one of Australia’s top tourism destinations.”

Tourism Whitsundays CEO said the award was a huge moment for Airlie Beach.

“This award is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our entire community. We are so proud to be recognised as a top tourism destination, not just for our stunning scenery and vibrant town centre, but also for the action-packed activities that make Airlie Beach so unforgettable” he said.

“This award reinforces our commitment to providing our visitors with an exceptional experience and the added success of Bowen and Collinsville helps showcase The Whitsundays region as a must-visit destination with something on offer for everyone.”

Manager of Bowen Tourism and Business, Leanne Abernethy was thrilled that Bowen came home with a bronze award and that Collinsville made the finals.

“Bowen really is the hidden gem at the top of the Whitsundays,” she said.

“To be recognised as the third best Top Tourism Town in Queensland was awesome, and we thank everyone who voted for Bowen as well as everyone who was involved in putting the submission together.

“We were also very excited that Collinsville made the finals this year.

“The team at Bowen Tourism and Business nominated Collinsville in the Tiny Towns

category for the first time so we were very pleased to make it to the finals stage.”

Chair of Bowen Tourism and Business, Jenn Honnery said to have three Whitsundays towns in the finals was a magnificent achievement.

“It was great to see the Whitsundays represented across all three categories, showcasing the diversity of experiences on offer in our region,” she said.

State Budget Tackles Cost Of Living

The Queensland Government 2024/2025 State Budget was released on Tuesday afternoon and it features several allocations that target the cost-of-living crisis with measures that will directly affect the back pocket.

From discounted car registration to cheaper public transport, this pre-election budget is aimed at creating real change, although several measures are conveniently due to expire just after the State Government election which is due to take place in November this year.

A total of $11.2b in reductions to Queenslanders have been outlined in this week’s budget announcement, which is 31% greater than last year.

Additionally, the Government said, “the Budget also sets out a $107.262 billion 4-year capital program to provide health and education services for Queenslanders where they live, transport to get home faster, and to transform our energy system on the path to net zero.”

Budget Breakdown

• 20 per cent reduction in the registration fee and traffic improvement fee components of motor vehicle registration for all light vehicles for 12 months.

• Lowering public transport fares to a flat fare of 50 cents across the state’s public

transport network for 6 months from 5 August 2024.

• Increasing the value of FairPlay vouchers from $150 to $200 and number of vouchers available from 50,000 to up to 200,000 at an additional cost of $33.5 million.

• Providing $15 million for the School and Community Food Relief Program. This initiative will assist children to access food relief from appropriate sources, ranging from subsidised lunches, breakfasts or tuckshop items.

• Substantial additional support to a wider range of Queenslanders purchasing their first home by increasing eligibility thresholds for first home concession, and first homevacant land concession. It will increase the threshold for first home buyer stamp duty concessions by $200,000 to properties valued under $700,000.

Last chance to have your say on future Bowen Jetty designs

NQBP is seeking your feedback on the draft design options for the future Bowen Jetty.

The Budget also continues to deliver the following:

• Record health funding with growth of 10.6 per cent in 2024–25 to support a range of essential health initiatives.

• $1.28 billion over 5 years for community safety measures across 5 key pillars of supporting victims, delivering for our frontline, detaining offenders, intervening when people offend, and preventing crime before it occurs.

• Over $1.274 billion continuing investment in school and early education facilities that consider population growth and shifts, changes in educational needs, and addressing high priority needs for student and staff health and safety.

• $502 million to deliver the Putting Queensland Kids First Plan supporting children from their earliest years of life and directs resources, services and supports to give every Queensland child and family the best possible opportunities for a great life.

Drone Cargo Delivery Trialling In Whitsundays

Adrone company dedicated to supplying regional and remote communities with cargo deliveries of up to 55 kilograms is set to trial the devices across the Whitsundays in July and August this year.

The long-range Uncrewed Aerial Systems (UAS) are able to fly up to four hours without recharging - aiming to link regional areas like never before.

The trial has been made possible by a $5.3 million Australian Government grant designated for the exploration of alternative transport systems.

RevAero is the company behind the invention and a spokesperson said they are looking forward to demonstrating how the distribution of goods and services can be achieved at scale.

With these clever devices they hope to be able to bridge the gap created by Australia’s vast distances and enhance connectivity for regional communities.

“We aim to provide reliable cargo delivery into remote or infrastructure-limited areas,” said the RevAero spokesperson.

“Our service bridges the gap between established long-mile logistics and remote or regional endpoints that are disadvantaged by inadequate or absent infrastructure.

“This capability is also suitable for urgent response scenarios such as Humanitarian Aid and Disaster Recovery (HADR).”

The upcoming trials in the Whitsunday islands will feature flights around Shute Harbour, Proserpine, Daydream Island, and Hayman Island.

The drones can carry up to 55kg and travel up to four hours non-stop. Photo supplied

Australia Welcomes New Citizens In Heartwarming Ceremony

The Proserpine Entertainment Centre buzzed with excitement and pride as 57 new Australian citizens were welcomed in a heartwarming Citizenship Ceremony held on Tuesday 11 June.

The event marked a significant milestone for the conferees hailing from eight different countries, symbolising the rich diversity and multicultural spirit of the community.

Conferees from Canada, the United

Kingdom, South Africa, the Philippines, New Zealand, Taiwan, France and China took the pledge of commitment to Australia, embracing their new identity with joy and gratitude.

The ceremony was attended by dignitaries, family members and friends who gathered to celebrate this momentous occasion.

The event featured inspiring speeches, cultural performances and the official swearing-in ceremony.

The Mayor of Whitsundays, Ry Collins, delivered a heartfelt address, emphasising the importance of unity, diversity and the shared values that bind the community together.

The Citizenship Ceremony included a rousing rendition of the Australian national anthem, followed by a reception where attendees mingled, shared stories and enjoyed refreshments.

Bowen River Rodeo

The Bowen River Rodeo saw 3000 people attend over the weekend and the entire event was a huge hit.

The rodeo had 200 competitors and the camp drafting had 220!

Friday night live music entertained rodeo lovers too.

There were lots of activities for the younger kids to enjoy, including the Flag Race, Bounce Pony, Barrell Race, Snakes & Ladders and more.

Bowen River Committee Secretary, Sally Fry said “The Bowen River is now 136 years old and I think that’s quite special.”

“Bowen River Rodeo associated with Buck Off Melanoma and proceeds from the raffle and Calcutta is split between Buck Off Melanoma and CQ Rescue Helicopter.

“Thank you to our wonderful sponsors, without them we wouldn’t be able to hold this wonderful event.

“And thank you to our hard-working committee and volunteers who work so hard over the weekend to make our event such a success.”

Local Councillor

Receives

OAM

Much-loved local Councillor

Jan Clifford was awarded an Order of Australia (OAM) on Australia Day this year and last month she attended a special ceremony to collect her medal at Parliament House in Brisbane.

A Whitsunday Regional Councillor since 2008, Ms Clifford is now serving her 5th term and was uncontested at the recent Local Government Elections.

When asked what she believes were the reasons for her nomination and subsequent recognition, Ms Clifford said “you’ve got to go above and beyond”.

“I think it’s a lot to do with the things I do for rural women and all the community efforts I’ve put in over the years,” she shared.

It is well known that Ms Clifford volunteered graciously throughout the Cyclone Debbie recovery period and has been giving up her own Christmas Day to assist at community events for those in need.

Since 1995, Ms Clifford has been an advocate for the Whitsundays region, working within the tourism sector for many of those years.

She started attending Council meetings in

2000, becoming interested in the process and then going for election.

Flash forward to this year and Ms Clifford said it was an absolute honour to receive her OAM.

“It was absolutely awesome!” she said.

“It was like you’d been dreaming about something and all of a sudden it happened!”

Meet Queensland Emerging Philanthropist Katelyn Aslett

Local businesswoman, Katelyn Aslett, was awarded Queensland Emerging Philanthropist of the Year at the Queensland Philanthropy Awards which were held in Brisbane last Friday night.

The founder of a charity organisation called My Giving Plate, Ms Aslett uses her skills in event management to facilitate dinner parties, both large and small, with all proceeds going towards worthwhile charities.

Over the past year, My Giving Plate has raised almost $180,000 and since its inception four years ago it has raised over $600,000.

The idea for the charity began when Ms Aslett felt a calling to help those effected by the floods in Townsville, a place she had previously resided and where she still had friends.

With a desperate desire to help raise money to help her friends, Ms Aslett held a dinner party where she accepted donations. Its subsequent success inspired her to spread the concept far and wide by creating a platform that funnelled the money raised through a more streamlined system. This is when she created the My Giving Plate platform which has now hosted more than 50 dinner parties.

The process is simple and can be adapted to dinner parties of any size, from a gathering of 10 friends to a large-scale event for hundreds of people.

The idea is that, by skipping the cost of venue hire and hospitality staff and holding an event in your own home or backyard, you can absorb the food costs as well and so much more money can be raised and then given to the charity of your choice.

Ms Aslett guides each person through the process and can help with any questions along the way.

An entrepreneur at heart, Ms Aslett had her own art and design label for over 20 years.

“If your business is going well, you’ve got the ability to give back,” she explained.

“It’s amazing to be amongst so many incredible people doing so much good, and I couldn’t do half of it if I didn’t have such an amazing team.

“It was an honour to accept this award and I love that it has lifted the profile of what we’re doing so that more people will now want to get involved – we can make a lot more happen and I would love to raise half a million dollars a year, which I think is possible!”

Pick Up Your Stumps

For An “At Capacity” Sportspark

For the past 18 months Airlie Beach Cricket has been setting up stumps and looking to establish the popular summer sport at the Whitsunday Sportspark, but the request has become a contentious issue following concerns that the grounds are already running at 200% capacity.

Football, Touch Football, Netball, Rugby Union and AFL form the five Foundation Club Members which all have voting rights and at the end of this month, the five codes will all cast their vote on whether to allow Airlie Beach Cricket to play at the grounds.

There are mixed views on the issue, although the general consensus is to include Cricket, despite it adding to an already over-populated ground.

And while some of the playing fields are running at 200% capacity the current AFL pitch (which could be shared by cricket during the summer months), is not.

Airlie Beach Cricket assert that there are countless grounds across Australia where AFL and Cricket harmoniously share their fields, from the GABBA to Harrup Park.

The deeper issue, however, seems to be an already straining facility which is struggling to accommodate the existing sport-

ing activities.

A statement from the Whitsunday Sea Eagles AFL Club said they “currently use the full field from January to September with Carnivals throughout the year and development through November.”

They believe this conflicts with the Cricket season which is hoping to run from September through to March.

Other sports clubs using the facility, however, have shared their sporting field for a number of years and are working together to arrange a schedule so both sports can live symbiotically.

“We all work around each other, everyone works together,” said Allan Milostic from Airlie Beach Football Club.

“Fundamentally we are inclusive, and we do want more sports. The biggest issue is green space and ideally, we’d have plenty of land for everyone.

“Football doesn’t have an issue with cricket being there, with the caveat that it doesn’t impact existing codes.”

Whitsunday Touch have similar views.

“I’m totally about inclusivity, it’s a community sport and all are included,” said Alita De Brincat from Whitsunday Touch.

“We as a committee have made a decision to support it, but it was not a unanimous decision, we went with the majority on the basis of being inclusive and the community working together.”

Meanwhile, Tim Oberg President of Whitsunday Junior Rugby Union, said “we firmly believe that establishing a new cricket club in Airlie Beach will be a tremendous asset to our community.

The Whitsunday Sportspark Committee also believe the inclusion of Cricket would work in a practical sense.

“Whilst our facility is far too small to service the growing town and the bottom fields are running at over 200% of carrying capacity with soccer, rugby and touch using them, the top oval is not running at

full capacity,” said Justin Butler, Chairman of the Whitsunday Sportspark.

Mr Butler adds that including another sport will “put further pressure on all levels of government to develop a second sporting complex for the town.”

There is 100 acres of Whitsunday Regional Council owned land located opposite Brandy Creek Road and it was purchased 12 years ago with intention that it will become a sporting complex and possibly new high school.

“Council need to push for it,” said Allan Milostic.

“We urgently need more playing spaces and steps need to be taken urgently.”

Bowen Community Centre Thanks Volunteers

The Bowen Community Centre proudly celebrated National Volunteer Week by honouring 20 of its dedicated volunteers.

This special event highlighted the vital importance of volunteers to the centre and the broader community.

During the celebration, volunteers were recognised for their selfless service and the significant impact they have on the lives of those who need it most.

Their efforts help the Centre to expand its reach and enhance the quality of services provided, from support programs to community events and educational workshops.

“We are immensely grateful for the dedication and hard work of our volunteers,” said Stephanie Cora the Executive Officer of the Bowen Community Centre.

“Their contributions are invaluable, and they truly embody the spirit of community and compassion.

“Without them, our mission to support and uplift the most vulnerable members of our community would not be possible.”

The event was a heartfelt tribute to the volunteers who give their time, skills, and energy to make a difference.

It also served as a reminder of the power of volunteerism and the positive change it

can bring to society.

Volunteers are the backbone of the Bowen Community Centre, and their contributions enable the centre to provide a wide range of free services to their most vulnerable members.

Without the volunteers unwavering commitment and generosity, the Bowen Community Centre would not be able to function or offer the support that so many in our community rely on.

AWB First Aid First: Keeping our community safe

Welcome to this month’s Member Spotlight organised by Whitsunday Chamber Of Commerce And Industry.

This month’s article showcases our diverse businesses community.

AWB First Aid First owner-operators, Andrew and Wendy Barker, are passionate for first aid.

AWB First Aid First has been supplying the Whitsundays with professional first aid training, first aid kits and supplies, and volunteering first aid services at local events since October 2009.

They are motivated to train the community as a way of making our community safe.

In recent years they have seen the need for everyone to be capable of delivering lifesaving first aid – from workplaces, schools, community groups, public events, and even in our homes and families.

While a critical skill, they have seen their clients and the community struggle with taking the time to learn first aid. They urge the community to ensure all our first aid skills are up-to-date.

As proud local business owners, their advice to other businesses is to:

• Connect in with a business coach so you can stay focused on goals and what’s important.

• Continually work at building a good, reliable network of other businesses and professionals around you.

• Know your numbers and regularly review income, costs, and your financial position.

As Chamber members they enjoy seeing what is happening in the Whitsundays through the Chamber’s communications and events, getting support when needed, and meeting other local businesses through networking.

Bowen’s Newest Mural Is Finished

After six weeks of hard work, artist Glen Gillard is thrilled to have finished the latest of Bowen’s murals and is extremely happy with it.

“It is probably the longest that I have ever spent on a mural,” said Glen.

“I am glad to see the end of it, and I’m happy and think the results are pretty good.

“Everybody’s saying how wonderful it is and magnificent, but most of the comments I get is that it’s beautiful and that’s what I’m really happy about.”

Glen joked that his favourite part to paint was the end, adding his signature at the end.

Secretary of the Mural Society Heather Skinner, President Josie Tons and Treasur-

er Marcia Land are over the moon with it and describe it as “Fan-bloody-tastic!”

This mural is of Herbert Street and the Mural Society have plans to extend it, adding additional buildings from Herbert Street on the blank spaces next to the newly finished mural.

This mural would not be possible without Bowen Hire, supplying scaffolding and the

Mural Society express a huge thank you to them.

Glen would also like to add that he loves green tree frogs, and he likes to add them into his murals – see if you can spot one!

“This mural here has three Green Tree Frogs which people have to find before they go home,” Glen laughed.

“My goal is to undertake my practical assessment of skills towards the end of this year. This will see me completing my Master 24 training and qualification in under two years, while the usual timeline for a school-based trainee is four years.”

Rio works on Sealink’sHayman Island boats every Friday as part of his traineeship and he also works for Red Cat Adventures on the weekends.

He is focusing on finishing year 12 and completing his traineeship that will see him a fully qualified Vessel Master (Captain), able to skipper commercial vessels up to 24m.

After graduation he is looking forward to work with Paspaley Pearls on their pearling vessels out of Broome for the pearling season.

In his spare time, he is either out on the water free diving or fishing, or playing AFL with the local Whitsunday Sea Eagles U17 team.

Prossie Prepares For Barra And Boots Festival

Huge weekend at Lake Proserpine Campgrounds tomorrow and Sunday as they host the first Barra and Boots Festival and Camping Event.

Event organisers RegFest have gathered some absolute legends of Australian Country Music to play a very intimate gig at Lake Proserpine with only 600 tickets available the event is close to a selling out.

Major new events like this added to the Whitsunday calendar are vital to attract visitors to our region. It is unique in that campers will be able to stroll out of their camping spot, grab a camp chair, fill their esky and watch the concert live from within campsite getting up close and personal with all the artists like Adam Brand, Sara Storer, Andrew Swift, Portia Clark and many more.

Last week I was in Brisbane advocating to the Queensland Government for funding for the next stage of the Lake Proserpine Masterplan.

Stage 1 of the Lake Proserpine Barramundi Fishing and Interactive Nature Recreational Precinct opened in 2020 and the project was delivered in partnership with the Qld Government with the aim of growing the mainland tourism experiences in the Whitsundays.

Lake Proserpine has been a jewel in the crown for our region in attracting fishing enthusiasts and caravaners as it is famous

as the home of the 1 metre plus barramundi which can be fished all year round. Each year, the Lake is restocked with over 20,000 barramundi fingerlings.

Council is seeking collaborative funding from the State Government to help deliver the next stage of the Masterplan which includes adding alternative accommodation options to attract new domestic and international visitor markets who want to stay at the Lake but are constrained by only camping and caravan options.

The next stage will deliver 10 eco cabins equipped with an off-grid power system featuring a 10-kW solar array and battery setup for energy independence, a high-quality sustainable materials and minimising waste during the manufacturing process, resulting in low to no running costs.

Business cases developed by our Economic Development team show the project would drive an additional 4,380 annual visitor nights and $1.472M in annual tourism expenditure into the Whitsunday region economy.

As the 2024 Whitsunday Show approaches, it is interesting to consider what the annual show was like a century ago in the 1920s.

It is fascinating to read the publication, “Show Whitsunday Celebrating 100 Years” published on the occasion of the show’s centenary. Covering ten decades of annual shows in our district, it provides an absorbing insight into what has changed and what remains the same.

In the 1920 -1929 segment, the writer noted that the Proserpine A P & I Association Show was “moving into its second successful decade of community support”. This is one factor that has certainly stayed the same. Such support remains integral in contributing to the success of shows and we are indebted to community of volunteers who work tirelessly behind the scenes to provide the venue that is the Show.

So, let’s turn back the clock to the 1920s to see what else has remained the same and what has changed …

An excerpt from the “Proserpine Guardian” (August 27 1921) tells the story … “Show dances were becoming increasingly popular, many held at the Tivoli

Hall during Carnival Week. There was a large number of visitors for the carnival during the weekend and the excursion train from Bowen on the last day of the show carried a very large number of passengers and there must have been a record number of visitors in attendance which no doubt was due to the local association having their annual event include the northern circuit and thus everyone was afforded the opportunity of witnessing the local fixtures without any fear of counter attractions elsewhere.

The side shows too were numerous and with a few exceptions they were the “cheap jack” class. On the ground Mr R C Traill who is R.V. Mackay’s local agent had a number of farm implements and keen interest was displayed by the farmers in the various implements exhibited.

The sugar cane display showed some nice cane and the exhibits from Banana Pocket were of a very high class. The quality of the cane displayed was a splendid advertisement for Banana Pocket and goes to prove that the land at that place is most suitable for the cultivation of sugar cane. There were also some splendid potatoes,

Prisoner Of War Shorts Survive And Arrive In Proserpine

The Proserpine Historical Museum have been honoured to accept the donation of a significant artefact; a handmade pair of shorts worn by William Dalziel Rudd from 1942 – 1945.

William Rudd wore these shorts during his years as a prisoner of war (POW).

William preserved the shorts throughout his life and his family has now donated them to the museum.

William Rudd was born at Hughenden 14th April 1914 but later lived in Proserpine and at the age of 26 enlisted in the Australian Army.

Shortly after Singapore fell to the Japanese on 14th February 1942, William became a POW until 5th September 1945. He served as a slave in brutal conditions on the Thai-Burma railway and the Changi POW camp.

The brutality of the Japanese is well documented, 15,000 Australians were POWs and there were 7000 deaths.

Researcher at Proserpine Historical Museum Ailsa Reinke said some of Williams’ relatives still live in the region and are happy the shorts are at the Proserpine Museum.

“They finally arrived here and we’re very privileged to have them and the family are happy to have them here as well,” said Ailsa.

“We just think it’s a real privilege to have them because there’s such few things that survived all that time.

“It might have been the only shorts he had because, they wouldn’t have been issued with clothing.”

In addition to the shorts, Proserpine Historical Museum have included post cards from William to his family back at home.

maize and cigar leaf that came from the pocket which is further proof that the land is one of the very best. …

The Grand Parade on the last day of the show was well worth witnessing. Some fine exhibits were to be seen, some of which carried prize ribbons from other shows. A notable feature was the large number of cattle that took part in the parade and this was the first occasion that such a large number of animals were led round the ring which made the parade all the more attractive.

not better than he had seen anywhere in the north. These remarks are very complimentary more especially when they come from a gentleman who attends practically the whole of the shows in North Queensland.”

The competition in the ring events was keen and, in the majority of classes, there were a good number of exhibitors. The younger generation who took part in the riding events caught Mr P Salmon’s eye (a champion rider from Natal Downs) and he remarked that the riding of the youths from Proserpine was equal to if

In 2024, the 111th Show is certain to deliver something for everyone just as it did a century ago. So, mark the dates in your calendar. Your support is important if the show is to go on …

ELEVATED EFFICIENCY

MAJOR GRANTS PROGRAM GIVES A BOOST TO SUGARCANE GROWER, PAUL DRAY BY ASSISTING IN THE PURCHASE OF A HIGH-RISE SPRAY TRACTOR

Paul Dray, a grower in Proserpine, is thrilled to have acquired a high-rise spray tractor that will grant him flexibility in the timing of his herbicide application. This flexibility enables him to use less harmful herbicides (knockdowns) reducing his reliance on residual herbicides.

Paul was able to make the purchase assisted by Reef Catchments through the Major Grants Project under the Mackay Whitsunday Water Quality Program (MWWQP) The MWWQP is funded by the partnership between the Australian Government’s Reef Trust and the Great Barrier Reef Foundation.

BACKGROUND

Paul’s family has deep roots in the Proserpine region, with the farm’s history spanning three generations and more than 100 years. The farm is more than just a business; it’s a legacy that Paul and his entire family are committed to preserving.

For Paul, this farm is a genuine family enterprise, with multiple generations actively participating. His parents, brothers, uncles, cousins, and now his son all play integral roles in running the operation. If you spend even a short time on the farm with Paul, you will notice there is always someone from the family stopping by to check in.

THE CHALLENGE

Timing is critical when it comes to weed spraying. If the cane grows too tall, traditional spray rigs can’t navigate through the crop. As a result, Paul had two options: he could use residual herbicides before the cane grew too tall, or he could hire contractors with high-rise spray tractors. However, these contractors were often delayed or unavailable because of scheduling conflicts. Although Paul hired drones to spray for vines, this solution didn’t address the problem with grasses, which continued to grow unchecked as the cane got taller. This led to higher labour costs and reduced crop quality, as weed management was not effective.

THE SOLUTION

To improve his farm’s pesticide management, Paul opted to work with agronomists at Farmacist. They developed a pesticide management plan that recommended alternative chemicals to reduce the risk of chemicals running off into waterways and persisting in the environment. The plan decreased the dependence on residual herbicides and encouraged greater use of knockdown herbicides.

A key part of the plan involved Paul’s investment in a John Deere highrise spray tractor. This advanced piece of equipment provided him with the flexibility to spray when needed, without having to rely on external contractors. The high-rise design was essential in being able to adopt the management plan put forth by Farmacist. They advised Paul on the best nozzles to use with his new sprayer, minimising chemical drift and will continue to support Paul with the management plan that has been given to him.

SNAPSHOT

Paul’s investment in the high-rise spray tractor has brought significant benefits to the farm:

• Increased Control: Paul can now spray when needed, without waiting for contractors, ensuring timeliness.

• Reduced Environmental Impact: The precise spray technology minimises runoff and allows for alternative chemicals (knockdowns) to be used reducing the risk of chemicals reaching and persisting in local waterways.

• Improved Crop Quality: Timely and accurate spraying has led to cleaner fields and better cane.

• Cost Effectiveness: By reducing contractor costs and losses due to runoff or drift, the farm operates more efficiently.

Government’s Reef Trust and the Great Barrier Reef Foundation.

The new spray tractor also came with innovative technology that improved efficiency and precision. It has integrated GPS that automatically adjusts spray rates based on the tractor’s speed, reducing waste and overlap. Additionally, the built-in weather station monitors weather conditions during spraying, preventing the process if the wind was too strong, thereby minimising drift. The cloud connectivity feature automatically uploads all spraying data, including weather information, to a cloud platform, streamlining record-keeping and reducing paperwork for Paul. With Farmacist’s expert guidance and the high-rise spray tractor’s advanced capabilities, Paul was able to implement a more efficient and environmentally friendly pesticide management strategy.

COMMITMENT TO WATER QUALITY

Paul is dedicated to sustainable farming practices and works closely with Farmacist not only regarding his pesticide management but also for conducting soil tests, managing Nitrogen & Phosphorus budgets and selecting fertilisers and chemical sprays. By doing this, he is able ensure that he is using the right amount of inputs needed for his crop at the right time. This reflects Paul’s commitment to leaving the farm in great shape for future generations and reducing the risk of farm inputs ending up in local waterways.

Paul’s farm is a prime example of how innovation and sustainability can work together. By accepting support from agronomists, adopting advanced technology and investing in high-quality equipment, Paul has improved his farm’s efficiency and demonstrated a commitment to improving his practices on farm.

A Smooth Transition To Year 7 At Whitsunday Christian College

Whitsunday Christian College is preparing students for a smooth transition into Secondary School by holding two key events for Year 6 students and their families.

The school is hosting two tours one in July and one in October – both are completely different, but equally exciting!

First up is the Twilight Tour which will take place in July. This is an opportunity for you and your child to experience Secondary School and get an insight into the different learning structures and subjects.

Come along and meet the Leadership Team, Secondary teachers and students who will be available to answer questions and share more details about Secondary schooling.

Students can engage in subject specific experiences relevant to Secondary School life.

School tours will be held in small groups and operate from 5pm – 6.30pm.

You are free to join anytime between these hours to experience Secondary subjects and enjoy a sausage sizzle.

To conclude, at 6.30pm, an information session will be held in the Hall for all families to discuss important aspects of Year 7 in 2024.

The second event is the Year 7 Step Up day which is due to take place in October.

Students will experience and follow a secondary timetable to prepare them for transition from Year 6 into Year 7.

This day is to ensure your child feels a sense of familiarity with aspects of the Secondary phase as they enter Year 7 at Whitsunday Christian College.

Current and new students to the College will be able to intermix and get to know each other a little.

There will also be a brief information session regarding the College’s student expectations and the differences between Primary and Secondary Phases.

The format for the rest of the day will see students moving from a range of different specialist subjects.

At Whitsunday Christian College their vision is to see students develop as life-long learners of faith, character and purpose, achieving personal excellence and cultivating community through service.

There are limited spaces remaining in Year 7 for 2025, be sure to contact Whitsunday Christian College as soon as possible to register your interest.

Are you struggling with the changes in your body after giving birth? Are you worried about participating in activities in case your bladder leaks? Are you constipated or have trouble in the bathroom? Have you been diagnosed with prolapse or feel a bulge and don’t know what to do?

If so, all these concerns can be managed with the help of Pelvic Health Physiotherapy. This unique area of physiotherapy encompasses more than just the pelvic floor as it looks at the whole person; your symptoms, general health, emotional health and wellbeing. A therapist in this field can also help with issues of frequency, urgency, and pelvic pain conditions such as endometriosis and with symptoms of painful intercourse or pelvic/back pain that seems to have no origin.

We are fortunate in the Whitsundays to have Camille from Novella Health practicing locally in Proserpine, Cannonvale, and Bowen. Camille has 25 years’ experience in a diverse range of healthcare settings and several tertiary qualifications as well.

Years prior to starting Novella Health, Camille experienced birth injuries that took a mental and physical toll. Working through these injuries, Camille realised she had a calling to help women, of all ages, in her community of the Whitsundays with their private pelvic concerns and began taking advanced courses in the field of Women’s Pelvic Health Physiotherapy.

Now, with a concentration in Women’s Pelvic Health and Children’s Bladder and Bowel Incontinence she is proud to help people feel comfortable in their body.

“I have long appointment times to give the patient time and space to tell their story and be heard,” explained Camille.

“I see the patient as the expert of their body. My job is to explain the condition and set up a practical treatment plan to reach their goals.

If you would like to discuss your concerns, confidentially, please book online or call to book.

Relive the magic of the Blues Brothers with the Soul Men as they present the Blues Brothers Tribute Show at The Pub, Airlie Beach Hotel.

This tribute act being based on the iconic film of the same name and stands out from the rest with great audience participation.

Jake in the show, performed by Greg Hill said “We’re interactive, we’re choreographed. we are well rehearsed, and we also have a script that we use but we’re also adlib as well.”

“How we differ from a lot of other tribute shows is in interactive stuff, and the showmanship that we provide in our show.

“We have a certain knack of getting the audience eating out the palm of our hands really quickly and interacting with us and having a really good time.”

Haven’t seen the film? That’s okay.

“You don’t need to necessarily see the film to enjoy the show,” said Greg.

“The music in the show is in our culture and has been in all the ads, tv shows, it’s in theme songs, it’s immersed around our culture.

“I’ve played many gigs with young people that haven’t known the Blues Brothers but have known all the music.

“For the fans of the movie, we reenact some scenes, we drop lines from the movie itself and as a nod and tribute back to the film itself.”

This show has been to Airlie Beach numerous times and Greg loves the crowd, people, atmosphere and can’t wait to come up again.

Meet Paul Fergus

Performing At KC’s This Sunday

With his mother’s side of the family having 14 members and all being musical, Paul Fergus was involved in lots of family sing-a-longs and it sparked his passion for music.

At the age of 10, Paul received great feedback from friends and teachers for his work in school productions.

“It’s better than them throwing tomatoes at you,” joked Paul.

Then during early teenage years, Paul started to enjoy acting, he enjoyed being the class clown and thought pursuing acting would be a good way to turn it into something useful.

Studying Performing Arts at university, Paul jumped into the acting world, and has performed for The Australian Shakespeare Company for 10 years.

It wasn’t until this time last year, however, that Paul knuckled down on his solo music career, and discovered a new passion.

“I like that it’s up to you, it leaves nothing to chance and the clap at the end is all yours,” said Paul.

After performing in venues on Hamilton Island in February and Hayman Island, Paul arrived in Airlie in early April and has loved performing here since.

At KC’s Paul will be performing foot stomping covers of songs that we all know and love.

First Annual Cane Country Pickleball Tournament

Held in Home Hill

TPICKLEBALL

he first Annual Cane Country Pickleball Tournament took place in Home Hill this past weekend, attracting fifteen teams from Airlie Beach, Bowen, Townsville, Cardwell, and Home Hill. Participants competed fiercely in the competitive division, while social players enjoyed the beautiful northern winter setting.

The Whitsunday team, Airlie Norfoll and Chance, consisting of Peter, Trevor, Kazuko, and Robyn, emerged victorious. They were closely followed by the Legendary Lonbers from Townsville, who were only

two games behind. In third place was the Airlie Auspan team, comprising Frank, David, Megumi, and Yoko, just two games behind second place.

Congratulations to the Whitsunday players for their impressive performance, building on their good results in Townsville a few weeks ago. How many of these players will plan to enter the 2024 Queensland Pickleball Championships in Morayfield, north of Brisbane, later this month? Watch this space!

Youngest Sea Eagles Fly Against Saints

The North Mackay Saints travelled up to the Nest on Saturday, and Whitsundays provided a stellar day for everyone to enjoy. Our Sea Eagles Under 12s took victory for the day, though the remaining grades faced tough matchups.

In an extremely tight contest, our Senior Men couldn’t quite hold on and were beaten 3139 in the last quarter by the North Mackay Saints. Despite the disappointing result, there were positive signs as the team looks to find form and connect better on the field this week against the top side, Mackay Magpies.

Our Senior Women started off well against the ladder-leading Saints with high intensity. Unfortunately, the Saints showed why they are the top kicking side, leading to a 6-70 loss for the Sea Eagles.

The Under 17s faced the reigning premiers Saints in a close, hard-fought contest for the first three quarters, eventually losing 28-59 in the final term.

The Under 14s were outgunned in the first three quarters by the top-of-the-table Saints, but the last quarter saw a more competitive Sea Eagles team, eventually losing 13-66.

Our Under 12s showed a great performance against the North Mackay Saints

with strong defense and hard work through the center, winning 57-7. Special shoutout to Captain Noah Woo, who kicked 3 goals in his 50th game for the Sea Eagles.

This week, the Whitsunday Sea Eagles travel to different locations in Mackay. Both Senior teams will play at Magpies from 1:50 PM, U12s and U14s will face Swans at Rogers Oval, and the Under 17s will take on Bakers Creek.
