Editor’s Note

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to the very first edition of Cassowary Coast Life. Thank you for the warm welcome and encouragement, it’s an absolute honour to be welcomed by so many of you in the community.

As you’ll notice, Cassowary Coast Life is presented as a flip-book format. This means you have a dedicated front page at one end of your newspaper, and if you flip it over, you’ll find the Hinchinbrook region with its own front page on the other.

Our sister publication, Hinchinbrook Life Newspaper has been delivering free weekly community news for more than 18 months. It was originally invited into the region by local Council at a time when there was no printed newspaper available and

a clear need for trusted, local storytelling.

For more than a year, we have been planning and discussing an expansion of the paper to include Cassowary Coast. Initially, we included a section in Hinchinbrook Life paper, but it quickly became clear that you wanted (and deserved!) a masthead of your own. This new format follows the successful model of Mackay and Whitsunday Life, which has operated as a flip-book newspaper for almost six years, uniting two neighbouring regions through shared readership and local storytelling.

At the heart of our vision is connection. Our goal is linking the two regions and supporting the flow of local people, businesses and stories to help build stronger, more vibrant communi-

ties through trusted, hyper-local news.

Research from our existing flip-book publication showed that more than 80% of readers enjoy the entirety of the paper –whichever side they call home.

From local Council through to the many business leaders and community members our team has met, the response has been overwhelmingly positive and encouraging- so thank you.

We are proud to launch this first edition featuring 48 pages of local news across Cassowary Coast and Hinchinbrook. We hope you enjoy it, and we look forward to growing this shared community platform with you.

CHICKS

Afamily of ospreys that captured the attention of the Cassowary Coast community is celebrating the arrival of three fluffy chicks, who recently hatched at Mission Beach.

The ospreys first made headlines last month when their nest temporarily delayed planned upgrades to a Telstra mobile tower. Rather than disturb the nesting birds, works were postponed, allowing the eggs to hatch safely.

Now, Cassowary Coast Regional Council is inviting

the community to help choose names for the three healthy chicks via Council’s Facebook page.

Residents are being encouraged to submit themed trios of names, with suggestions ranging from famous characters and iconic duos-turned-trios to names inspired by the local area.

The most popular entries will progress to a community vote.

The story has become a heartwarming reminder that sometimes progress can wait while nature takes centre stage.

UFO Festival Set To Land In Cardwell This August

The countdown is officially on for the 2026 Australian UFO Festival, with organisers confirming a packed four-day program that is expected to once again draw visitors from across Queensland and beyond to the Cassowary Coast.

Running from 6th to 9th August in Cardwell, the festival has grown into one of the region’s most recognisable events, combining mystery, entertainment and community in a way few festivals can match.

The Queensland Government has recognised the festival’s significance, supporting the event through Tourism and Events Queensland’s Homegrown Fund.

Queensland Environment, Tourism and Science Minister Andrew Powell said the festival plays an important role in showcasing both Cardwell and the wider Cassowary Coast.

“It is my pleasure to welcome you all to the Australian UFO Festival, an event that celebrates the energy and diversity of the Cassowary Coast,” Mr Powell said.

“The Queensland Government is proud to support the Australian UFO Festival through Tourism and Events Queensland’s Homegrown Fund, which backs events developed in our state and helps connect

them with the unique destinations they call home.

“Homegrown events play an important role in showcasing new ideas, celebrating culture, and creating memorable experiences for visitors, all while contributing to Queensland’s vibrant and diverse events calendar.”

The minister also encouraged festival-goers to take advantage of everything the region has to offer during their stay.

“Beyond the Australian UFO Festival, there is so much to see and experience in the Cassowary Coast. I encourage visitors to take the opportunity to explore the area and enjoy the wide range of tourism opportunities that Queensland has to offer.”

The official festival program has now landed, featuring a diverse lineup of events including the popular C-Files Forum, Galactic Roll-Off Barefoot Bowls, Films on the Foreshore, Alien Abduction Night, Alliance of Earthlings, the C-Files Tour, Alien Invasion Foreshore Party and Monster Market Day.

Family-friendly entertainment will also feature prominently, including appearances from Superconscious Dave, who will bring interactive activities and children’s entertainment to the festival throughout

the weekend. For those keen to start planning their visit, the full list of confirmed events can be found in our official Cassowary Coast Life Event Guide on page 12.

In perfect timing, skywatchers across Queensland recently found themselves looking upward after reports of a Chinese rocket launch created a bright plume visible from parts of the state. Social media quickly filled with photos and speculation as residents debated whether the myste-

rious light was a rocket, a UFO, or something else entirely.

While the answer turned out to be firmly earthbound, the sighting has only added to the excitement surrounding Australia’s only dedicated UFO festival.

A Tropical Treasure Worth Exploring This Weekend

Few things capture the relaxed charm of Mission Beach quite like a morning stroll through the local markets.

Set beneath the shade of towering trees at Ulysses Day Park and just steps from the beach, the Mission Beach Markets have become a much-loved community institution, bringing together locals, visitors and stallholders in one of the region’s most picturesque locations.

Operated by Rotary Mission Beach, the markets are held on the first and third Sunday of every month throughout the year. They will be held on Sunday, 21st June, offering the perfect excuse to get out of the house, support local businesses and enjoy everything the Cassowary Coast community has to offer.

With up to 100 stalls spread throughout the beachfront parkland, visitors can browse fresh fruit and vegetables, handmade jewellery, locally crafted gifts, plants, books, clothing, artwork and second-hand treasures, while enjoying freshly prepared food, coffee and tropical treats.

Part of what makes the markets so special

is the atmosphere. Locals catch up with friends over breakfast, travellers passing through the region showcase their products, and visitors from around the world experience a slice of authentic community life in Mission Beach.

The markets have also become an important platform for small businesses, artists, makers and community groups, helping support local enterprise while creating a vibrant social hub for residents and tourists alike.

In a region blessed with natural beauty, the Mission Beach Markets are one of those simple experiences that remind people what community is all about; local people supporting local businesses in a stunning tropical setting. Whether you’re hunting for a unique gift, stocking up on fresh produce, or simply looking for a pleasant way to spend a Sunday morning, the Mission Beach Markets are well worth a visit.

Innisfail State College Honours Frontline Heroes

Innisfail State College has recognised the dedication and bravery of local first responders as part of Thank A First Responder Day.

On Wednesday, 10th June, Student Council leaders invited representatives from emergency service organisations across the region to the college for a special morning tea.

Representatives from Ambulance, Police, SES, Fire, Surf Life Saving, Hospital services and Coast Guard attended the event, which was prepared and presented by the college’s Hospitality staff and students.

College Captains Lochlan and Jara delivered an address and presented Certificates of Appreciation to each organisation, acknowledging the vital role frontline workers play in keeping the community safe.

The morning provided an opportunity for students, staff and emergency service representatives to come together and show gratitude for the work carried out every day.

First responders are often among the first people on scene during emergencies, providing assistance during incidents including road accidents, floods, fires, water rescues and search and rescue operations.

The day also recognised the many volunteers who stand alongside professional emergency services, giving their time to support and protect others.

Innisfail State College thanked all frontline heroes for their ongoing commitment and the difference they make throughout the community.

Funding Delivered To Future-Proof Farms On The Cassowary Coast

The State Government is providing $2 million to Terrain Natural Resource Management Group to support the grazing, sugarcane and banana sectors in the Cassowary Coast Local Government Area.

The funding will allow Terrain NRM to provide landholders with practical tools and on-ground support to improve soil resilience, riparian vegetation, and land and streambank conditions.

The funding forms part of the State Government’s $117.84 million Natural Resource Management Expansion Program.

Regional Natural Resource Management groups are being supported to deliver targeted, practical initiatives that improve and restore areas essential to safeguarding Queensland’s natural assets.

Minister for Natural Resources and Mines, Minister for Regional and Rural Development Dale Last said the funding for Terrain Natural Resource Management group would support farmers to deliver improved agricultural and landscape management practices.

“Local landholders have been subject to extreme weather events in recent years, and this program will fund on-ground initiatives to improve farm resilience and soil and land conditions,” Minister Last said.

“We recognise the importance of local

stewardship and this funding will empower landholders to build stronger farms and more resilient communities because they know how to do it best.

Terrain NRM CEO Stewart Christie said this program would future-proof the Cassowary Coast’s key industries through real engagement with landholders.

“The Cassowary Coast is a powerhouse for industries such as sugarcane, grazing and bananas, but it is also one of the regions most exposed to extreme weather,” Ms Christie said.

“We’ve seen firsthand the toll repeated severe weather events have taken on farms and farming families.

“This project is supporting landholders with practical tools, knowledge and onground support to recover, adapt and build resilience, so they can continue producing now and into the future.”

NRM Regions Queensland CEO Chris Norman said the NRM Expansion Program would not only leave a lasting impact on Queensland’s iconic landscapes but create jobs and boost local economies.

“We’re proud to be working alongside the Queensland Government and our regional NRM organisations to deliver big outcomes for people and for place through the Natural Resource Management Expansion Program,” Mr Norman said.

You Can Breakfast Beside a Volcano

The rich soils of the Cassowary Coast owe much to the region’s volcanic history. Around South Johnstone and Mena Creek, fertile farmland produces everything from bananas and sugar cane to tropical fruits enjoyed across Australia.

Drive these quiet country roads and you’ll find sweeping rural views, roadside produce stalls and landscapes shaped by ancient geological forces. It is a reminder that some of the region’s best attractions are not built by people at all. Slow down, wind the windows down and enjoy a breakfast picnic surrounded by one of Queensland’s most productive farming regions. Brunch it out: cassowarycoasttourism.com.au

Home Stay Hosts Wanted

Local families are invited to take part in the cultural experience of a lifetime, right here in the region, by hosting Japanese students.

Banora International Group is urgently seeking local families interested in becoming part of its upcoming Japanese student exchange program.

Homestays are popular among Japanese students as they provide an authentic way to experience Australian life, while giving host families the opportunity to build international friendships and gain a deeper understanding of another culture.

Two students are allocated to each homestay, with host families required to provide two to three meals per day.

Comprehensive training and ongoing support are provided, and host families receive generous remuneration for their participation.

Hosts are still needed for an upcoming 12-night stay from 26 July to 7 August 2026. In return for providing a welcoming ‘home away from home’, host families will receive $1,515 in remuneration.

Quick Thinking Saves Joey After Roadside Discovery

Atiny joey has been given a second chance thanks to the quick actions of Terrain NRM team member Tamsin McLeish, who discovered the little wallaby while travelling home from Etty Bay.

Tamsin came across a wallaby that had been hit on the road and stopped to safely move the animal and check whether there was a joey in the pouch.

“When I rolled her over, I saw two tiny paws and a tail poking out and then some movement. I panicked! I’d never rescued a joey before and had no idea if it was injured,” Tamsin said.

With no phone available to contact wildlife rescuers, Tamsin turned on her hazard lights and waited for another driver to come by and assist.

Thankfully, help arrived within minutes. Using a flashlight, Tamsin was able to carefully remove the joey, later named Joe, from its mother’s pouch and place him into a fabric bag to provide comfort

and help mimic the safety of a pouch.

Tamsin contacted The Agile Project –Wildlife Rescue, who connected her with a Mission Beach wildlife carer. Despite the late hour, a carer was able to take Joe in.

After driving the joey to his new carers, Tamsin was told Joe was lucky and had no injuries.

The carers have continued to provide updates and photos as Joe begins his recovery.

bright winter glow over the morning festivities.

The event delivered a delightful mix of

treats and tricks, prizes and plenty of laughs, as the fun-loving furry contestants took centre stage.

visitors as well, with local stallholders showcasing handmade treasures, fresh produce, unique gifts and delicious food.
