Congratulations to the Volunteer Cruise Ship Ambassadors on celebrating 20 years this week – such a huge achievement for this active volunteer group who bring bright smiles and friendly welcomes to cruise ship guests as they arrive in the Whitsundays.
To think they’ve welcomed their 1 millionth passenger this year as well is just incredible.
Twice this week I have been down to the Airlie Beach sign at the Lagoon, once with our journalist Daniel to meet up with the Volunteer Cruise Ship Ambassadors and the second time we went down to interview Tim Booth, the new CEO of Tourism Whitsundays.
It was great to meet Tim who seems like a really nice guy and is full of energy and enthusiasm for the massive role of leading tourism marketing in our region.
You can watch our full interview by clicking the QR code next to the article on page 6, this will take you to our YouTube Channel.
While at the Airlie Beach sign I noticed a nearby landmark had popped-up overnight – the icon-
ic Airlie Beach Festival of Music big-top tent was in-place and ready for this weekend’s festivities.
There is always something that makes your heart sing when you see the big white awning of the tent – the promise of fun and good times – the tent perched on the headland, creating one of the most scenic main-stage venues anywhere in the country.
Now in its 13th year, our local music festival attracts thousands of people from all around the country and, if you haven’t got your tickets yet, I suggest you go and get some!
For the full line-up and an insight into some of the local venues that will be hosting live performances over the weekend turn to page 15 for our special feature.
The weather looks to be amazing all weekend so it will be a spectacular event to attend.

AWARD WINNING VOLUNTEERS
WELCOME 1 MILLION PASSENGERS IN 20 YEARS
Continued from page 1.
The Volunteer Cruise Ship Ambassadors’ main role is to greet the cruise ship passengers. As they disembark, the volunteers are there to welcome guests to Airlie Beach, they provide maps, information booklets, and ask what passengers want to get out of their day.
Cruise ship passengers only have limited time in Airlie Beach, so if the passengers do not currently have plans, the volunteers can suggest numerous activities.
Browsing through the local markets, exploring the Bicentennial Boardwalk, taking a dip at the lagoon or indulging at one of the restaurants are popular choices.
Many passengers enjoy spending time in a café or eating lunch and Lyn says this is a byproduct of what they are trying to achieve.
“The main priority is to make sure that every person who comes off the boat has a really good time because what we are looking for is return business,” said Lyn.
“We want them to have such a great day in Airlie Beach that they are going to come back again another time and spend a bit lon-
ger with us.
“Additionally, we're aiming to support the local businesses, that's the flip side of inviting people and being enthusiastic about the area is that it supports our local businesses as well.”
As Coordinator, Lyn creates a schedule of all arriving cruise ships and then creates a roster open to all volunteers, and those available can greet the passengers.
Lyn has been with the Volunteer Cruise Ship Ambassadors for almost five years and Coordinator for two.
“In July we reached the millionth visitor and it has been fantastic to be able say, we have welcomed our one millionth visitor in our twentieth year,” said Lyn.
“A big thing for us this year was to win the gold award at the Whitsunday Tourism Awards for Outstanding Contribution by a Volunteer or Volunteer Group.”
Visitor Services Manager at Tourism Whitsundays Dea Huvonen helps out Lyn and the Volunteer Cruise Ship Ambassadors where possible and is thrilled with them reaching 20 years.
“It is an incredible achievement for a volunteer group to celebrate 20 years of service,” she said.
“A big warm thank you and congratulations to each and every cruise ship volunteer who has so kindly donated their time over the years.”
Tourism Whitsunday Chief Executive Officer Tim Booth expresses his thanks towards the volunteers and says they showcase our region to travellers.
“Their dedication and warm welcomes make everyone feel right at home, creating an unforgettable experience for everyone who arrives,” he said.
“We want to give a huge thank you to each and every one of the volunteers for helping showcase the beauty of our region.
“In doing so, they create a lasting impression of our community and truly make Airlie Beach such a special destination.”
A DAY OF REMEMBRANCE
Monday, November 11, marks the anniversary of the Armistice that ended the fighting with Germany in World War I. Each year, at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, millions around the world observe a moment of silence to honor the sacrifices made by countless individuals, ensuring the freedoms and peace we enjoy today.
Suburbs around the Whitsunday region are all hosting remembrance services to pay respects to the lives that were lost.

WE HAVE LIFT-OFF!
GILMOUR SPACE RECEIVES PERMIT FOR ORBITAL TEST FLIGHT IN BOWEN
The Whitsunday region is one step closer to being Australia’s first space rocket launch site following the announcement this week that an orbit launch permit has now been granted for Bowen Orbital Spaceport.
If all goes to plan, the first rocket launch for the Gilmour Space launch site in Bowen could happen within the next few months.
Minister for Industry and Science, Ed Husic MP, and the Australian Space Agency has granted the country's first orbital launch permit to Gilmour Space Technologies for its maiden Eris rocket launch from the Bowen Orbital Spaceport.
An Australian launch permit is required under the Space (Launches & Returns) Act 2018 to launch an object from Australia to an altitude of over 100 kilometres. It comes with a number of conditions that must be met before launch, and a mandatory 30-day notification period.
Gilmour Space CEO and co-founder, Adam Gilmour, welcomed the news as a major milestone for the local space industry. "With this green light, we will soon attempt the first orbital test flight of an Australian-made rocket from Australian soil.”
"Our team is assessing the conditions of the permit and will advise on the anticipated launch date for Eris TestFlight1 in the coming weeks."
Week 3 (11/11 - 16/11)
In March, Gilmour's Bowen Orbital Spaceport was granted Australia's first orbital launch facility licence by Minister Husic and was officially opened by thenQueensland Deputy Premier Cameron Dick.
communities across the region.
Its north Queensland spaceport, one of only a few private orbital launch sites globally, will initially provide access to lowand mid-inclination orbits.
With rockets and satellites designed and built on the Gold Coast and launched from Bowen, Gilmour's efforts have been a boon for regional Australia.
Whitsunday Regional Council Mayor Ry Collins said this is a huge milestone.

In September, the company announced it had successfully completed a major wet dress rehearsal of its Eris launch vehicle, progressing the countdown to T-10 seconds.
The upcoming TestFlight1 will be the first of several planned test launches to reach orbit with Eris, which leverages new propulsion technologies developed by the Gold Coast-based company.
Since starting its rocket program in 2015, Gilmour Space has expanded to over 200 employees, built a local supply chain of more than 300 Australian companies, attracted significant private investment, gained support from local, state and federal governments, and actively engaged
"The launch approval marks an incredible milestone for Bowen and the Whitsundays region,” said Mayor Ry Collins.
“The team at Gilmour Space have been incredible to work with, and their commitment to engaging Bowen residents in this journey is a model of proactive community involvement.
"Success here isn't just about reaching orbit—it's about positioning Bowen as a key player in Australia's journey to space. This is just the beginning."

CO-ORGANISER OF AIRLIE BEACH
TRIATHLON FESTIVAL COMPETES IN IRONMAN WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
Kona, Hawaii is the birthplace of the iconic Race that started in 1978.
The Ironman World Championship has become a highly prestigious and gruelling endurance competition that triathletes around the World aspire to compete in. Athletes describe the race as brutal and challenging, but they are all up for the challenge. It is the World Cup of Ironman events and the best of the best participate in a number of age group categories.
The event starts with a 3.8km swim which begins at the Kailua Kona Pier in Town.
This year before the start of the race there was a red alert for jellyfish, many of us got stung which was quite painful. There were medics spraying vinegar in transition after the swim. The race then continues with a gruelling 180km bike ride with competitors heading north through extremely hot lava fields with high wind gusts and scorching hot temperatures. Once back in Kona, the marathon run portion of the race begins. The 42.2km marathon course takes you back out of town and return also suffering in the hot and humid condition.
The final moments going through the finish arch are filled with intense emotions, passion and is spectacle unlike anything else. The awaiting crowd are there to cheer every competitor home!
My long day 14 hours and 31 minutes at the office was very rewarding as I eclipsed my time from 2022 by 8 minutes. I was the second Australian home and 13th overall in the World in my age category 70 to 74. Gruelling but so fulfilling to see that finish line!
The event was made super special with Val
volunteering all day and officially awarding me my stunning finishers medal.
I dedicated the race to the Ronald McDonald House Charity. I must thank everyone who donated for their generosity. Google Michael Kimpton Fundraiser, RMHC if you would like to make a donation to this needy cause. To date I have raised over $8,000 which is quite remarkable.

Tim is thrilled with his new position saying, “How could you not want to work in one of the most magical places in the world?”

NEW RANGES IN STOCK NOW! BURNUPS FURNITURE
Council recognise that local businesses are the backbone of our economy. When we engage local suppliers, tradespeople, and service providers for council projects, we’re not just delivering value for money; we’re investing in the long-term prosperity of our region.
For local businesses looking to work with councils in Queensland, understanding the strict procurement process is key to successfully securing contracts.
Which is why Council is proactive in hosting FREE workshops, specifically designed to guide you through the council’s tender process and boost your chances of success. Our procurement team held a workshop recently at Shute Harbour Marine Terminal and another is planned for Flagstaff Hill.
I know that navigating tenders can sometimes feel complex, but these workshops are designed to make the process simpler and more accessible to local businesses. The workshops give practical insights into the process and allow interaction with procurement specialists to better educate local businesses in understanding the tendering process and improving their chances of success.
Council also gives a percentage weighting to local businesses to make them more competitive because we believe local businesses bring more than just skills and expertise. When they work on council projects,
they’re doing more than fulfilling a contract—they’re helping to build the very community in which they live, work, and raise their families.
Using local businesses keeps money circulating within our region. It means jobs for local people, growth for local enterprises, and an economy that’s strong, resilient, and capable of weathering challenges, whether they be global pandemics or natural disasters.
We know that supporting local businesses also brings other benefits—environmental sustainability by reducing transportation costs and emissions, increased engagement and collaboration, and higher levels of trust and accountability, because the people delivering council projects are your friends and neighbours.
Council is committed to ensuring that local businesses have every opportunity to participate in our procurement processes through initiatives like our free tender workshops.
To the businesses that already partner with the council, thank you for your hard work and dedication. And to those considering taking part, I encourage you to get involved, bid for tenders, and help us continue building a bright future for our region.
Together, by investing in our local businesses, we’re investing in a stronger, more connected Whitsunday community.
Ag Tech Takes CENTRE Stage at ‘GrownIn NQ’ Agricultural Event
Last week Bowen Gumlu Growers (BGGA) celebrated a two-day agricultural event titled ‘GrownIn NQ’.
Bowen Gumlu Growers Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Jenn Honnery said the twoday event went well.
“On day-one growers, agribusinesses and related industries, got together for an industry breakfast. We had a couple of speakers talking about their specific industries, soil health and crop rotations and then we headed out for some farm tours,” said Jenn.
“On day two there was an Innovation Showcase. We had about 21 exhibitors showing off a very broad spectrum of Ag tech that's available in Queensland right now.
“It was a great opportunity for growers to get their hands on what's available for their businesses and have a really good chat with their suppliers about what would work for them."
Jenn noted that on day two it was great to see not just Ag tech suppliers and businesses interacting but seeing business to
business interaction too.
“At BGGA we're really supportive of growers who are interested in investing in ag tech,” said Jenn.
“Ag tech isn't a new thing. It's been in this space for a very long time.
“I think now it's really drilling down into more data, and the more data you have about your crops, your yields, water management, pest management, the more you can fine tune your business decisions and support cutting costs, and get some real benefits in certainly yields, but also quality of produce.”
It’s a new era for the Whitsundays, with our re-elected Queensland Member of Parliament Amanda Camm entering government and the Cabinet as Minister for Families, Seniors and Disability Services and Minister for Child Safety and the Prevention of Domestic and Family Violence.
The Whitsundays Chamber of Commerce and Industry offers our congratulations to the candidates who stepped up to represent our community and responded to Chamber member concerns. We look forward to continuing raising the challenges and ideas of the Whitsunday business community with Ms Camm, particularly the priorities of road infrastructure, business insurance, and increasing regional influence.
The Council’s Greening and Growing Bowen initiative created a recycled water network for Bowen’s parks and public green spaces. The recycled water is treated to very high standards, ensuring it’s safe for community use. With additional measures like late-night irrigation to ensure absorption before public use, this program saves $250,000 annually. Starting 1 July, the program will extend to Grays Bay Foreshore Park. For more information, check out the fact sheet on our website. https://bit. ly/Whitsundayrecycledwater
The Chamber’s advocacy efforts span all levels of government and regional stakeholder groups, where we are a voice for the business community. We have recently been appointed to the Whitsunday Regional Council’s Economic Development Advisory Group that has the distinct purpose to support and promote the growth, sustainability, and competitiveness of our local economy through collaboration between the local government and key industry and business stakeholders. In addition to this forum, the Chamber has embarked on a series of regular knowledge exchange briefings with Council, and our members for state and federal government.
Yesterday we held our Annual General Meeting, providing positive reports on membership growth, engagement, and financial sustainability. We also outlined plans for the year ahead including the establishment of a Chamber Advisory Group, a strategic think tank that will shape a range a Chamber initiatives such as the federal election, regional economic development, workforce availability and productivity, and our Whitsunday Business Conference. We look forward to sharing updates on our progress and how the business community can get involved. Contributed with thanks to Alan Milostic, President of Whitsunday Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

Walk For A Kinder World
The B Kinder Foundation is taking meaningful action to foster a kinder world by hosting a Stand and Walk for Kindness on World Kindness Day. Local children will come together to participate in this inspiring event, spreading a message of compassion and encouraging others in the community to join in and make a difference.
The B Kinder foundation offers a positive solution to the mental health issues that youth are facing.
Former Whitsunday resident Danny Mayson-Kinder founded B Kinder to honour the legacy of her beautiful 12-year-old daughter Billie Kinder who tragically died in a horse accident in 2016.
After Billie's accident, her mother, Danny Mason-Kinder, found her daughter’s paintings and poems, which illustrated incredible insights into kindness and empathy. She has since used these to create a book using her daughter’s work.
Seeing how this book inspired others, Danny created the B Kinder Foundation and the broader B Kinder Day, to help spread kindness and combat bullying in the community and within schools.
It is now part of Billie’s legacy to help thousands of children discover the power of kindness through various programs. These programs and initiatives are having a substantial impact in schools and
throughout communities around the country taking positive and preventative action.
Using Billie’s insightful words and beautiful artworks, B Kinder has created evidence-based well-being programs and resources to help children in their pivotal years by encouraging them to become kinder, more empathetic and more compassionate.
Everyone can make a difference. The Walk for a Kinder World will help individuals to connect with community, remind them that kindness matters and help raise funds to supply our programs and resources where they are needed most.
At the event there will be a free sausage sizzle, fruit and water provided as well as everyone receiving a free b kinder card to pass on some kindness to someone else for

Christmas Store Grand Opening
The grand opening of the Classic Christmas Shop at 18 Main Street in Proserpine, last Friday, was a huge success.
As we enter the festive season, this new Christmas store in Proserpine supplies us with joyful spirit and good cheer.
From snow globes to tree decorations, to ornaments, the Classic Christmas Shop in Proserpine has your festive season covered.
Caroline Garraway is owner of the shop alongside her daughter Alexandra Garraway.
Alexandra Garraway expressed these thoughts:
“Christmas is such a magical time for our family,” she said.
As Christmas is the time to be spreading joy Alexandra also expressed that the store is a place where you can always find joyous Christmas spirit.
“The joy on people’s faces is always really fun and we did a little preview night a couple nights ago, with some friends to welcome them to the shop,” she said.
“It was so exciting, and to see everybody wanting to see everything light
up was honestly the best.”
The family behind the Classic Christmas Shop are extremely proud of the store they have created.
The opening day was made even more special with Whitsunday Regional Council Mayor Ry Collins cutting the ribbon to officially mark the opening.

RAISING VOICES, SAVING LIVES
Breast & Prostate Cancer Awareness Day
Proserpine Golf Club is hosting a fantastic fundraising event in support of Breast Cancer and Prostate awareness day.
The event was organised in response to several club members having both breast and prostate cancer. Additionally, event organiser Noelene Spurway was personally impacted, with both her father and a close friend battling one of these cancers.
In previous years, the club has primarily focused on fundraising for breast cancer awareness. However, recognising that prostate cancer is equally significant, the club has decided to expand its efforts this year to support both causes.
This year's event will consist of a variety of activities, including a ‘Best Dressed’ competition, live music and a BBQ. If that isn't enough to get you excited, the club will also be auctioning off a framed signed football jersey donated by Filby's Motors and framed by Whitsun-
day Framing, a Broncos Jersey, a trip to the reef and a fishing charter, alongside much more.
There will also be a raffle and a 100’s Board, to keep you entertained throughout the day, and to help fundraise for the cause.
If transport is a worry for you, Whitsunday Transport will be providing rides to and from the event for a gold coin donation. The bus will be stopping at all major bus stops from Proserpine to Jubilee Pocket, to ensure anyone wanting to attend the event, can.
Another great perk is that you don’t need to be a club member to join in — everyone is welcome to come out and support the cause. Whether you create your own corporate team or simply show up to play, your participation makes a difference!
Noelene Spurway added that she looks forward to seeing individuals come and support the cause:
“Nearly everyone will have been touched by prostate or
breast cancer, whether it's having it themselves, or a friend or family member having it, there's very few people it hasn't touched.
“We are just trying to raise as much money as possible for breast and prostate cancer.”
Prostate and breast cancer are two of the most common forms of cancer, with 1 in 6 men being diagnosed with prostate cancer and 1 in 7 women getting a breast cancer diagnosis. It is, therefore, highly important to support these events.
Join the Proserpine Golf Club for a day of fun and fundraising! Play your best round while fundraising for breast and prostate cancer – and who knows, you might even score a hole-in-one!

Hilz has been making music for longer than she can remember and her sound has been described as a fresh and modern take on pop with commanding powerhouse vocals, earwormy melodies and searing “tongue in cheek” lyrics, all augmented by an infectious punk attitude and kick ass stage presence. Hilz will draw you in and make you an instant fan.

From Stage 4 to Centre Stage Bec Olsson Hitting Life’s High Notes!
Bec Olsson is a mix of country grit and indie spirit, part small-town hero, part music mentor on a mission to heal. As one half of the powerhouse sister duo Innocent Eve, Bec’s as likely to be found belting out an anthem as she is serving up a backhand and some belly laughs in a pickleball match. She’s all about juicing life for every drop and she does it with her own rules, her own rhythm and a style that’s totally her own. Bec’s story isn’t just a tale of cancer survival, it’s about showing up, singing out and redefining what it means to live life at full volume. Even as a self-proclaimed lover of solitude, she’s fiercely connected to those around her - with a knack for protecting her peace, setting boundaries and diving into one-on-one conversations that keep her grounded.
When she’s not leading a classroom or lighting up a stage with stories of hardwon truths, Bec carves out space for the simple joys - coffee on the sand, deep dives into a good book, solo sunset walks and a dose of soul-nourishing best friend moments.
Fuelled by a fierce determination to reclaim her life, Bec’s all about crafting a personalised roadmap to wellness, cham-

pioning a health-promoting lifestyle while trusting her body’s incredible ability to bounce back. For her, it’s not merely about the fight against cancer - it’s about living boldly, sharing wisdom and igniting that same fire in others to take charge of their own journeys.
“I'm passionate about empowering people to take charge of their healing with confidence,” says Bec, reflecting on her mission.
“I also want to leave a legacy of music that brings comfort, but also a trail marked by faith, compassion and love.”
Olsson believes that everyone’s got their own mixtape of experiences - some tracks are upbeat, others a little offkey. Instead of critiquing the song list, she encourages us to hit play and enjoy the entire album of humanity. After all, it’s the unexpected notes that make the journey of life worth listening to.
And what’s on her bucket list? Learning to sail - something about the water, she says, feels like freedom.

Sweet Beats Of Connection At
Sidewalk Cafe
As a first-time venue host at this year’s Airlie Beach Festival of Music, Sidewalk Cafe has numerous musical acts over the weekend, and they are all exceptional.
Known for their delicious breakfasts, friendly service, great coffee, cocktails and laid-back atmosphere, Sidewalk Cafe is an ideal spot to replenish and watch live music over the festival weekend.
Performing for the first time at Sidewalk Cafe during the Airlie Beach Festival of Music is Rebelquin, hitting the stage on Friday 8 November at 9am.
Rebelquin is a local and talented musician who is no stranger to the Airlie Beach Festival of Music, having performed numerous times.
She captivates audiences with a distinctive fusion of blues and indie rock.
Rebelquin loves music and it comes through in her performance.
“Music connects us all together and is always there for us through the highs and lows,” she shared.
“If I am going through a rough time, there is always a song that makes me feel good and I know if that singer or songwriter can get through this, so can I, it reminds us we
belong and that we are not alone at all.
“This is also what I love about performing, if I can connect to just one person and make them not feel alone, I have done my job.”
Don’t miss Rebelquin performing Sidewalk Cafe’s first gig at the Airlie Beach Festival of Music and stick around for more amazing artists.
Karen Jacobsen, Ben Evolent and Jackson Dunn. It’ll be a morning that celebrates resilience, connection and the beauty of a voice.

A Live Music Paradise At Colonial Palms
Colonial Palms Motor Inn will transform into a live music paradise for the entire Airlie Beach Festival of Music weekend when it combines its tropical resort style atmosphere with sensational performances from a host of talented musicians.
The stunning deck area provides a beautiful setting for music, and many people will have already attended regular Jazz sessions which happen once a month on a Sunday. But this weekend is the venue’s debut at the Airlie Beach Festival of Music.
With chilled out performances starting at 9am on Friday 8 November, Colonial
Palms Motor Inn is welcoming many great musicians, including talented songstress Karen Jacobsen.
Performing at 11.30am on Friday 8 November at Colonial Palms Motor Inn, Karen will ignite the stage with powerful vocals and piano-driven songs.
She has released a dozen albums, including the ARIA Awards 2024 nominated Misogyny Opus.
Karen has shared the stage with industry greats like Norah Jones, Neil Sedaka, Jon English, Cyndi Lauper and Christopher Cross, and performed national anthems in front of thousands of people.
Karen has many original songs, but the Airlie Beach Festival of Music attendees will also be thrilled to hear that she will also be bringing songs from her brandnew album ‘I Was a Man’.
Karen said the 10 original songs on the album vary in depth, with themes ranging from equality, love, loss and freedom to listening to our inner voice.
With cinematic and piano driven performances by Karen, the melodies are timeless, and the recordings feature lush and layered female vocals. This body of work explores the intersection of songwriting and spirituality, with many of the songs in-
spired by and even arriving during Karen's meditation practice.
When asked about the message behind her music, Karen says “I am in the most creative period of my career, and on this record sharing themes of equality, love, loss, freedom and listening to our inner voice.”
Karen’s music is inspirational and as regular performer at the Airlie Beach Festival of Music, she knows how to gauge the crowd.
See Karen Jacobsen light up Colonial Palms Motor Inn and other venues around Airlie Beach during this year’s Airlie Beach Festival of Music.

It would have been difficult enough for any parent that one child enlisted in war, but imagine the feelings of Douglas and Frances (nee Myles) Debney when all three of their sons signed up to serve. Having himself trained in the Light Horse militia in the early part of the 20th Century, and having seen his older brother go off to the Boer War, Douglas Debney Snr fully understood his sons’ patriotic spirit and a thirst for adventure and agreed to their enlistment.
Corporal Harry Stanley Debney QX2390 and brother, Private Douglas Ross Debney QX 2389, enlisted in Miowera on 24/05/1940 and both in the 2/15th Battalion 9th Division. Initially, Harry had been turned down due to a hernia, however after it was repaired, he successfully enlisted. Due to an intermittent heartbeat, Douglas had also previously been knocked back twice. On his third attempt, and under his threat to go to New Zealand to enlist if he failed again, the medical officer signed him off but with the comment, “no need to be so bloody arrogant about it.”
The brothers’ first campaign was Tobruk. Despite many near misses and daily dodging of the 5.30pm German artillery bombardment, both Harry and Doug survived five long months in the heat, dust, sand storms, unbearable fleas, regular night patrols into “no man’s land” and rations sometimes as low as a pint of brackish water a day to drink and wash, two hard biscuits and 1/2 tin of bully beef captured from the Italian food dumps and which the Aussies swore was horse meat.
The second campaign in which the brothers were involved was the Battle of El Alamein. There were two battles; the first in July 1942 which was inconclusive but halted further progress of the Germans into Egypt and towards the Suez Canal. The second offensive on 01/09/1942 and code named “Operation Bulimba”, was a frontal infantry assault on entrenched German positions. As such, casualties were expected to be high, so orders were given that no two brothers were to take part in this action together. Whether through bond, a sense of commitment to each other, or honour, neither Doug nor Harry would back down. Both went into battle that dawn.
During “Operation Bulimba”, Doug was the section’s Tommy gunner. As their division approached the German line, he fired off his 50 round circular magazine across the top of the sandbags of the enemy’s trenches. The Germans replied with mortars and as the incoming mortar rounds exploded, many of his section died.
Sadly, Corporal Harry Debney was one of these casualties. He is buried in the El Alamein War Cemetery and is honoured on Proserpine’s cenotaph and the Wall of Remembrance at Cannonvale. He was only 24 years old.
Doug was also seriously wounded when a close blast delivered its searing payload of shrapnel into both arms, shattering his left elbow and badly wounding his right shoulder and bicep. Bleeding profusely and just maintaining consciousness, his determination turned towards avoiding capture meaning certain death. In the desert environment, injuries as bad as his would be considered beyond treatment by even the most compassionate of enemies. Incapable of dressing his wounds, a couple of medics assisted him off the battle field and tried to stop the bleeding. Unable to help further, Doug told them to leave. Staggering back towards his lines, he was eventually picked up by stretcher bearers. He had lost so much blood that the medics gave him little chance of survival. Despite that he pulled through.
“Operation Bulimba” was the costliest single action for the 2/15th Battalion with approximately 45% casualties - dead and wounded.
On medical grounds, Private Douglas Debney was discharged on 06/08/1943. Upon his return home, he worked on the family cane farm at Cannon Valley despite being offered a full TPI pension. In 1956, he married Margaret Rose and they had two children, Howard and Lenise. In 1976, they sold the farm and moved to Sydney. Their farmhouse still stands today where the Butterfly Effect Nursery is situated on Shute Harbour Road.
Douglas Debney died in Sydney on 30/11/2001 aged 89 years. His funeral took place at the RSL War Veterans Chapel in Collaroy.
Postscript: About six weeks after “Operation Bulimba” older brother, George Frederick Leonard Debney, Warrant Officer Class QX4606 went through the battle area and found a bloodstained Irish linen handkerchief with the initials DRD. He recognised it as a gift to Doug from an aunt. Nearby was an empty tommy gun 50 round magazine with a shrapnel hole. Douglas Debney had come close to death on the same battlefield on which his brother had been killed.

LOCALS STAR IN ACCESSIBLE TOURISM VIDEO
Embracing the Queensland Government’s 2023-2024 accessible tourism push, Endeavour Foundation has launched an inclusive video showcasing the Whitsundays, hosted by locals Jenny and Charlie.
“It was really good to do the video again. It was a good challenge, I got to see lots of great things, and loved doing the walk on Whitehaven Beach … I was that happy about it all, I had a sing on the boat,” said Charlie, who attends Endeavour Foundation’s Learning and Lifestyle hub in Cannonvale.
Jenny echoed his excitement, saying, “Doing the video again was fun. It was great to be able to tell people what they could do here in the Whitsundays. I want to do it all again!” She emphasised the importance of highlighting accessible options, so viewers can make safe, informed decisions about their travel.
The video showcases inclusive activities, starting in Airlie before heading to Daydream Island and Whitehaven Beach. It features jet skis, a semi-submersible, and more, with two-year-old therapy dog Toby also making an appearance, the region’s
first onboard therapy dog.
A 2024 report revealed that 23% of all domestic holidays are taken by people with disabilities, representing 18.5 million trips worth $6.8 billion.
“People with disability are on the move and want to get out and explore,” said Endeavour Foundation spokesperson, Jasmin Forsyth.
The video introduces innovative, multiuse, waterproof headsets that reduce noise during water activities, enhancing accessibility for all visitors.
Making tourism accessible is crucial so that everyone can enjoy their holidays. Endeavour Foundation has a proud seven-decade history of providing support and advocating for Australians with intellectual disabilities.

Setbacks and Team Spirit Shine Through at Local Bowls Club
BOWLS
They say nothing in life is easy, and the recent experiences at our local bowls club certainly prove that. The much-anticipated installation of a new cover has faced a series of unexpected challenges, from mix-ups in delivery to construction mishaps.
While the cover arrived in the wrong colour scheme—multiple shades of grey— Dulux has stepped up, promising fresh paint and painters to start work this week. To add to the obstacles, the cover was mistakenly sent to a different address and, after being opened and run over by trucks, had to be repacked and sent back. A replacement cover is now on its way, though it may take a few months to arrive from overseas.
Meanwhile, the club has had to deal with

Wangaratta Bowls
a temporary power outage and a water supply replacement. Despite these setbacks, the spirit of the club remains strong. Members have adapted by playing bowls at other venues, with Alan Pershouse, David Meiklejohn, and Mark Mawson performing admirably over at Proserpine. Club events, such as Friday night gatherings led by Fiona Greener, have continued to thrive, drawing many members together.
A big thanks goes out to volunteers like Warren Mills and Bob Spees, who have taken on the challenging task of trench digging, and to Andrew Butler, whose dedication has been instrumental in keeping the project moving forward. The community effort and determination displayed by the club members highlight the resilience and teamwork that will see these projects through to completion.
Tuesday Social Bowls Tuesday’s social games saw strong competition, with Merle Elphinstone, Stumpy Adams, and Geoff Danvers defeating Bron Tolcher, Sue Shearing, and Gavin Charles. In another match, Barry Lee and Penny Warren overcame Cecila Lee and Robyn Stitt. Barry and Cecila, visiting from North Mackay Bowls Club, took the opportunity to test out the Bowen greens, adding an extra touch of camaraderie to the day. The jackpot, however, remains unclaimed and will roll over to next week.
Successful “Come and Try” Afternoon On Saturday, the club hosted a “Come and Try” session that drew an enthusiastic crowd of learners eager to test their skills. By the end of the afternoon, newcomers were impressively drawing close to the jack, with some lucky “Wangaratta wicks” helping them along. The day
concluded with a delightful afternoon tea, which proved as popular as the on-green action.
Sunday Games Welcoming Airlie Beach Guests With the Airlie Beach green temporarily unavailable, Wangaratta was pleased to host visiting players. The afternoon’s games were tightly contested, with Lyn Graham and Betty Whitehorn clinching a win in a close match, narrowly defeating Jim Quod and Penny Warren on the final end. Jocelyn Defranciscis and Tony Whitehorn also had a close match against Toni Bowen and Alby Vigar. In another game, Merle Elphinstone, Isobel Wheeler, and Kevin Jewell triumphed over Lindy Suann, Deb Retchless, and Graeme Read. The jackpot once again went unclaimed, keeping excitement high for the upcoming week.

Proserpine Vets Shine at Final Whitsunday Veterans Competition in Bowen
Last Tuesday, Proserpine Veterans Golf Club made their way to Bowen for the concluding round of the Whitsunday Veterans competition. A strong showing of 60 players, including 43 men and 13 women, participated in the event. Despite lower player numbers, the competition moved along swiftly, allowing for an enjoyable pace of play. Following nine holes, players were treated to a delicious lunch, a highlight as always.
The course presented a fresh challenge with its well-maintained greens and a stiff ocean breeze that tested players’ skill, particularly on exposed greens that played superfast.
Competition Results
For the ladies, three Proserpine players earned spots in the rundown: Leanne Alexander with 32 points, Tiina Randmae with 31 points, and Jenny Hounsell with 25 points.
In the men’s division, Laurie Daiken took second place with 38 points, closely followed by Colin Hounsell in fourth, also on 38 points. Vic Feldman rounded out the field, finishing 12th with 34 points.
AGM and Club of the Year Honors
Technical delays postponed the day’s results presentation, giving way to the annual AGM before results were announced. The AGM proved to be a highlight as PGC Vets celebrated another milestone, securing the Club of the Year title for 2024.

IMPRESSIVE PERFORMANCES PROPEL CANNONS AT GARDENS LONG COURSE EVENT
Over the weekend, 21 swimmers from Cannonvale Cannons Swim Club made their mark at the Gardens Open Long Course Preparation Meet in Townsville, joining over 330 swimmers from Cairns to Mackay. This bustling event was filled with standout performances and personal bests.
One of the meet’s highlights was the 8-10 years boys 200m Freestyle Relay, where Zane Clayworth, Alex Trefz, Harris Delac, and Eric Mulliss clinched the bronze medal.
Individual successes abounded, with Elouise Chegwidden medalling in all her events, joined by Jacob Bell, who also impressed with a full set of top placings across his individual races. Additional congratulations go to Zachary and Alex Trefz, Jax Clayworth, Charlie Doherty, and Tyler Bennett, who medalled in the majority of their events.
In terms of personal bests (PBs), Leo and Eric Mulliss, Matilda Nicholes, Isabella Pisaniello, Ruby Lawson, Charlie Doherty, Addie Saunders, Ella Bounden, Jax Clay-
worth, Tyler Bennett, and the Trefz brothers demonstrated incredible progress by achieving PBs in most of their races.
Among the meet’s notable achievements, Tora Delac qualified for the 2025 Nationals with her outstanding swim in the 50m Freestyle —a tremendous milestone in her swimming career.
Several Cannons also secured Long Course times for the upcoming state titles, including Zach Trefz, Tyler Bennett, Nelson Malady, Isabella Pisaniello, Ella Bounden, and Jacob Bell. Well done to these swimmers, we can’t wait to see what you achieve in December at the Queensland Long Course Championships.

Local Girl Achieves All Her Sporting Dreams
This year Lily Peacock has achieved all of her sporting goals that she had set herself.
She has played every game of the NRL W season, played in the State of Origin, played in the Australian team and also won Rookie of the Year.
Nathan Peacock, Lily’s dad, said making the Australia team came as no surprise to him.
“It was no surprise, because literally, everything she said she was going to do that year, she did. But to sit back on the lounge and watch her out there singing the Australian national anthem was just something else,” he said.
Lily’s mother Linda has similar praise.
“We know how much heart and soul that Lil’s got. She’s a Peacock,” she said.
“We’ve been brought up like that. Whatever you put your mind to, and whatever your heart wants, it’s yours if you really want it.
“So, for Lils (Lily) it has been football, and she’s grabbed it with both hands but also wants to give back, which I love. I know that she’s going to definitely be a mentor for the younger girls.”
Women’s sport has been a challenge in the past, but Lily says the timing of her career has come at a great time, and that she is now part of the next generation.
“I’m so grateful that I have had the opportunities to come through and also hats off to Mum and Dad for putting in all the work, and also driving me back and forth,” said Lily.
“I’ve wanted to be involved with the younger girls as well.
“We have got a pretty awesome pathway up in Townsville, and we’re doing a development camp to help with selections, and hopefully we can get our next development players to be from Townsville, local girls.
“So we are putting in a lot of effort there into building the younger girls so they have more of an opportunity to get in.”
Lily started her Rugby journey playing Union, but as time went on and with her dad’s influence she has shifted towards League.
With the rate of growth in women’s sport and her progress in the game already Lily Peacock will be a name that all young sports players can look up to in the future.
