Editor’s Note

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to the 37th issue of Hinchinbrook Life! It’s hard to believe we’ve been producing your free weekly newspaper for over six months now – and what an incredible journey it’s been!

We’re proud to bring back a local newspaper to the region. Our passion shines through in everything we do – from our journalist Victoria out gathering stories and snapping photos, to our sales manager Sherie, who works closely with local businesses to meet their marketing needs. And behind the scenes, our central office team helps bring it all together each week.

For those new to our story, Life Publishing Group is an independent, locally-owned business. We’ve been publishing magazines for nearly 15 years and added weekly newspapers five years ago – right when many printed publications were shutting down, we took the opposite path and grew.

What started as one paper has grown into five weekly mastheads. Our mission is simple: to connect communities, provide a free local voice in print, and give businesses a platform they can be proud of.

Local businesses have been at the heart of this journey from day one. Their support makes it possible for us to deliver this paper to you free each week.

If you’re a business owner, we’d love to see your ad here. You’ll get free design, strong local exposure, and a real sense of pride in supporting something truly local.

And to our readers – take a moment to check out those ads. Shop local, support the businesses that support your newspaper – and be sure to mention where you saw them!

Thank you for your continued support – it means the world.

Australian UFO Festival Was Out Of This World!

At the heart of the festival was the C-Files Forum, a two-day program that once again proved to be one of the festival’s biggest drawcards. Guest speakers such as author Rowan Bo and researcher Grant Lavac shared thought-provoking insights into UFO encounters, UAP investigations, and extraterrestrial disclosure. Along with the C-Files Tours, which sold out, took visitors to local UFO hot spots and shared Cardwell’s own mysterious sightings history

Beyond the forums and tours, the weekend celebrated Cardwell’s creative spirit and community connection. The Hinchinbrook Regional Arts Mosaic Workshop and Star People & Ancestral Connections Workshop explored the artistic and cultural sides of cosmic curiosity.

Families flocked to the foreshore on the weekend, especially for Sunday’s Monster Market Day featuring dozens of stalls, face painting and alien crafts, crab races, and a classic Aussie BBQ. A Moon Phases Workshop and a bustling car boot sale added to the variety, ensuring there was something for every type of festival-goer.

From serious discussions on the unexplained to light-hearted fun for the whole family, the 2025 Australian UFO Festival proved why it has become one of the region’s most unique and beloved annual events, leaving visitors and locals alike eager for the next chance to connect under the Cardwell stars.

Hinchinbrook Life, Keeping Our Community Connected

Since the commencement of the Hinchinbrook Life, I have published weekly updates to keep everyone better informed about State Government and other important local matters from across our region. So much positive feedback has been received, and I am grateful that my contributions are achieving their purpose.

This has only been made possible by the return of a free, local paper and I wanted to take some time this week to give a well-deserved acknowledgement to the Hinchinbrook Life and the hard-working team behind the publication who go above and beyond to not only provide important information and news, but who also create a proud sense of community connection.

The Hinchinbrook Life provides the best of both worlds with an easily accessible online platform for those who prefer to read electronically, as well as a generous supply of printed papers for those who prefer a hard copy. Printed versions can be found at 15 newspaper stands in high-traffic locations and 87 business drop-off points such as cafes, medical clinics, hospitals, nursing homes, takeaway stores, hardware stores, Woolworths and Coles.

As a weekly contributor, I’ve found this paper to be an invaluable platform. As regular readers would have seen, it allows me to

engage with the community, provide Parliamentary updates, highlight important local issues, inform policy developments, and celebrate our electorate’s achievements. It’s a direct and personal way to stay in touch with the community.

The proof of Hinchinbrook Life’s success lies in its numbers. Initially, 2,700 weekly copies of the paper were printed, and this has now been increased to 3,000 copies. After being distributed on Tuesday each week, approximately 98% of copies are gone by Thursday.

I would like to specifically acknowledge certain members of the Hinchinbrook Life team. Our local journalist, Victoria Velton, Editor-in-Chief, Rachael Smith, Sales Manager Sherie Hensler-Adams and the brilliant graphic design team, who deserve medals for their patience in creating individual and specific artworks on my behalf and all of the business advertisers. Thank you for all your efforts and the pride you take in the attention to detail.

Equally important are the local businesses whose advertising helps fund the production of this paper. Without their backing, a free community paper like this simply wouldn’t be possible. The combined effort has brought a wonderful benefit to our region.

Another Very Busy Chamber Month in July

July has been another exceptionally busy month of activities where Hinchinbrook Chamber has either facilitated, collaborated or participated in supporting its membership and the broader business community in a diverse number of ways. With the commencement of the new financial year, drive market visitation and cane crushing season well and truly underway, there has been a noticeable increase in activity and visitors in our community.

Chamber has been extremely active in continuing to support the broader community through the work being undertaken by the Community Recovery Officer. CRO Jane continues to extend the outreach work into the wider community and has been very busy this month, attending multiple events to inform attendees of the recovery support available, as well as engaging individually across her networks.

Chamber has also been facilitating individual appointments for residents to discuss grant information opportunities with Dept of Small and Family Business officer - Gerard Millican, as well as QRIDA Representative Sam Spina. The importance of the support being delivered by the many different government agencies cannot be understated, as these funds are essential to the recovery and rebuilding process to progress, for many in our community.

The very well attended “Women in the Agriculture” coffee morning resulted in many

supportive, encouraging and enlightening conversations shared in a relaxed and informative environment. The insight gained from the attendees’ perspective was very insightful and will assist in informing future recovery planning.

The third “Markets at the Mosaic” for the year was hosted on July 19 and with the theme being “Christmas in July”. This market day boasts 30 handmade artisans – the biggest markets to date, by way of stall holders, attendance and percentage of visitors from outside the shire. With this time of year showcasing superb weather conditions for our region, and an influx of tourist activity, the markets welcomed a staggering 46% of out-of-shire visitors to this event, with the vast majority surveyed stating they were holidaying for varying amounts of time.

It is indeed encouraging to witness the busyness in the community during this time of the year, and Chamber encourages all business owners to review their marketing plans to ensure they are capitalising on these increased opportunities.

Tec-NQ Open Day An All-Ages Community Event

To mark the beginning of celebrations for 2025 National Skills Week, on Saturday, August 23, North Queensland Senior School and training organisation, Tec-NQ, will throw open its doors for an all-ages Open Day with a difference. With 69 trades currently identified as experiencing a national skills shortage, there is no better time to try out a trade.

Artist Impression

Max Has His Boots Firmly Planted In Two Very Different Worlds

Tec-NQ House grade 11 boarding student Max has his boots firmly planted in two very different worlds: the rugged, hands-on life of a central Queensland cattle station, and the bustling day-to-day routine of boarding school in Townsville.

“I live on a station north of Clermont called Mazeppa,” Max explained. “When I’m not here at school, I live there with my family.”

Home for Max is anything but quiet. Mazeppa Station is a working property that runs both cattle and crops, keeping everyone on their toes year-round. “We have a mix of cattle and crops, so there’s always plenty to do,” he said. “There’s not really such a thing as a day off on the property.”

Max is no stranger to getting his hands dirty. When he’s home, he’s often found helping his dad with jobs around the station, including driving tractors and mustering cattle, to basic maintenance like greasing machinery and checking equipment.

Max already has one eye on the future. His goal is to gain trade qualifications that will help him bring even more value to the family business.

“I think if I can do an apprenticeship as a mechanic or a diesel fitter or something like that, it’ll be great for working on the

farm,” he said.

When he’s not lending a hand with station work, Max makes time for his own kind of fun. A keen rider, he often jumps on his CRF230 motorbike or catches up with friends. “We like to go pigging on weekends and in the school holidays,” Max said with a grin.

Despite the change of pace, Max has taken boarding school life in his stride. At Tec-NQ House, he’s made strong friendships and settled well into the rhythm of living away from home. “In my free time, I go to Planet Fitness with my mates or watch the Storm play in the NRL,” Max said. “I’m enjoying it so far, it’s much better than regular school.”

Max is one of many regional students who benefit from Tec-NQ House, a purpose-built boys-only boarding facility located in Rosslea, Townsville. Opened in March 2022, it provides accommodation for up to 40 senior school students from regional and remote Queensland, helping them access Tec-NQ’s unique trade-focused senior school program. The facility is designed to promote social connection and inclusivity while maintaining a nurturing, homely atmosphere. Students enjoy 24/7 supervised care, air-conditioned double-occupancy rooms, modern communal areas, streaming services, com-

puters, a secure outdoor recreation area with BBQ facilities, and a basketball court.

Tec-NQ House balances structure and support. Dedicated staff foster wellbeing and independence, while the onsite professional chef prepares nutritious meals. Students also enjoy after-hours excursions, sports, and social activities. Daily transport is provided to the Tec-NQ Douglas co-educational campus and work placements.

For Max, Tec-NQ House isn’t just a place to stay, it’s a launchpad. With support and pathways into trade careers, students like

Max are shaping their own promising futures, firmly grounded in both boots and books.

VANDALISM

VANDALISM IS A CRIME

IS A CRIME

Council is seeing a rise in vandalism across parks and playgrounds, with several public facilities damaged or defaced in recent weeks. Damaged play equipment, graffiti, and vandalised toilets are not only costly to repair but they pose serious safety risks to children and the wider community. Council would like to remind all residents to treat public spaces with care and respect.

Residents and visitors are urged to clean up after themselves, dispose of rubbish appropriately, and refrain from writing on or leaving notes on any public facilities. Those caught damaging public property may face fines, criminal charges, and liability for repair costs.

IHinchinbrook Shire Council is committed to delivering long-term, practical solutions for Mt Fox Road — a critical transport corridor that supports local residents, farmers, school communities, and key stakeholders such as Windlab.

Following a series of severe weather events, including the widespread February 2025 rain, Mt Fox Road sustained extensive and serious damage. More than 35 landslip sites were identified across the range, with large sections of the road base destabilised and critical drainage infrastructure compromised. At the height of the damage, there was significant pressure to close the road completely.

However, thanks to the dedication of local contractors and emergency crews, Council was able to maintain limited access, keeping the road open under restricted conditions. Council has now completed comprehensive geotechnical assessments and is progressing to the next phase of the project.

We are preparing to go out to tender for major remediation works. This is not a short-term fix. This remediation work is undertaking full permanent repair of the sites impacted by the flooding events. The scope involves substantial reconstruction of the range section, with funding secured

through state and federal disaster recovery programs.

Works will include rebuilding the damaged road surface, improving drainage, including replacing inadequate culverts, and reinstating via stabilising landslips and structural failures associated with the terrain. Whilst Council will do its best to maintain reasonable access during reconstruction works — using stop-and-go personnel and detours where possible — there will likely be times when full road closures are necessary for extended periods to allow work to be carried out safely. This is due to the minimal space available for machinery and materials.

In these cases, it is expected that the road may be closed to all traffic from approximately 8:30am to 4:00pm on any given day. Council will ensure residents and stakeholders receive timely notice of any closures and will coordinate detours and alternate access where possible.

Cutting corners is not an option. We will continue to communicate with affected residents and stakeholders. Council is in ongoing contact with our contractors, government funders, and project partners to ensure that the work is done thoroughly and to the highest standard.

Lucinda might be a sweet town, but it’s got a steamy back story.

This charming coastal village at the southern end of the Hinchinbrook Channel, owes its name to a paddle steamer with quite the political pedigree. The SS Lucinda, launched in 1884, wasn’t just a sleek government vessel — it famously hosted secret drafting sessions for Australia’s Constitution in 1891 while moored on the Brisbane River.

That’s right, Aussie democracy was floated into being! When the sugar industry surged in the late 1800s, a new township needed a name. What better inspiration than the legendary steamer?

And so, Lucinda set sail again — this time on land.

Today, Lucinda is best known for its 5.76km-long sugar jetty, one of the world’s longest, and as a gateway to Hinchinbrook Island.

With fishing, boating, and laid-back vibes, it’s a sweet spot with a name that links sugar, steam, and statecraft. Visit hinchinbookway.com.au to start your next adventure.

While the weather conditions during the month of July have provided some wetter-than-expected days, visitor numbers in the Shire are still holding quite strongly.

It is very encouraging to witness the strong visitation numbers that are being reported across the Shire and the number of tourists evident in the community, enjoying all our Shire has to offer.

The increased activity generated by the combination of the seasonal visitor influx, cane harvest and milling seasonal demands, and contractor workforce that are delivering construction and insurance projects is generating a greater demand for all types of employment opportunities across the Shire.

Employers are reporting a continued high demand for workers across many sectors, including in the hospitality, aged care, childcare, and disability support services, as well as the harvest and milling sectors.

The current competitive employment market is requiring employers to reassess their recruitment and job marketing strategies in an attempt to fill the numerous local vacancies.

The latest data has revealed that Hinchin-

brook Shire has some of the most affordable housing in the state and combined with the very appealing lifestyle and surrounding abundant natural beauty, makes it a very desirable location for many Australians looking to relocate north.

With the major project opportunities that are moving toward commencement, the Hinchinbrook Shire is very well positioned to witness increased development in the foreseeable future.

Whilst the Shire residents continue to navigate the impacts the February flooding had on their lives, which has an understandably strong focus on repairing and rebuilding properties, livelihoods, and community, it is also important to have an eye to future opportunities.

Through the Hinchinbrook Employment and Skills Development Reference Group, Council brings together monthly representatives from secondary schools, training organisations, employment and apprenticeship providers, and major employers.

The purpose of these meetings is to identify these employment and skilling challenges, as well as explore potential opportunities facing employers.

CANEGROWERS Demand Wilmar Act On Rail Failures Impacting 2025 Crop

Canegrowers Herbert River Chairman Steven Marbelli and Manager Frank Scardamaglia have met with Wilmar’s leadership team to voice growing frustration over the continued failures in the company’s rail and transport operations. The meeting, held earlier this week, came in response to a string of derailments and locomotive incidents that have plagued the region’s harvest operations and shaken the confidence of growers and harvesting contractors.

With two more derailments occurring recently, the pressure has mounted for Wilmar to not only acknowledge the systemic issues but to urgently formulate and communicate a clear improvement plan.

“Growers and harvester operators have simply had enough,” Mr Marbelli said. “We’re already facing a poor crop due to the February floods, and the ongoing rail breakdowns are now threatening what’s left of this season’s viability.

“The lack of performance from Wilmar’s transport division is unacceptable.”

Mr Scardamaglia reinforced the point that confidence in Wilmar’s ability to crush the crop in a timely manner is at an all-time low.

“It’s not just about the derailments – it’s

about a broader pattern of unreliability, lack of communication, and an absence of visible strategy. The performance this year has been far below industry expectations. If Wilmar doesn’t turn this around 180 degrees, we’re going to see serious consequences for growers’ bottom lines,” he said.

Local grower Michael Reinaudo, who is also a harvester contractor and one of the largest growers in the district, echoed these concerns, stating, “We can’t keep investing in our operations only to be let down by a transport system that doesn’t function. Every day there’s a delay is another day we risk losing cane. If this keeps up, some growers simply won’t want to continue growing or supporting the industry.”

Canegrowers Herbert River urged Wilmar to provide a detailed plan on how they intend to stabilise their rail operations and rebuild trust with the grower base. This includes addressing the root causes of the ongoing derailments, ensuring proper maintenance and staffing levels, and communicating with growers more transparently and proactively.

Growers have already made major investments in this season, and many are now being forced to absorb additional costs and delays because of rail failures that are outside their control. With the wet weath-

“Our growers were instrumental in this outcome.”

“The detailed onthe-ground reports from farmers about the scale of the damage and the true cost of recovery gave us the evidence we needed to make the case for stronger support.”

Dan Galligan CEO CANEGROWERS

er earlier in the year already damaging crop yields, growers cannot afford further disruption from operational mismanagement.

Canegrowers Herbert River has committed to keeping its members updated and will continue to hold Wilmar accountable

until meaningful improvements are seen across the transport network.

“Wilmar must now step up and deliver real solutions – the industry is depending on it,” Mr Marbelli said.

CANEGROWERS has worked tirelessly with the State and Federal governments' and welcomed the decision to increase disaster recovery funding for primary producers to $75,000, calling it a win for Queensland’s cane growers and the broader agricultural sector.

Farm Safety Week Underscores Need For Stronger Rural Healthcare

National Farm Safety Week, held from the 20th to the 26th of July, served as an important reminder that the health and wellbeing of farmers is critical to maintaining safety on the land. Marking the occasion, the Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine (ACRRM) called for stronger support for rural healthcare services to better protect those who work in one of the country’s most demanding industries.

According to ACRRM President Dr Rod Martin, investing in local, high-quality healthcare is essential for creating safer farming environments across Australia’s rural and remote regions.

“Farming is one of the most physically and mentally demanding jobs in Australia, and our farmers face unique health and safety risks every day,” Dr Martin said.

“To support safer farms, we must support the health of the people who run them — that means having skilled, locally based doctors who understand rural and remote life and can provide care when and where it’s needed.”

Dr Martin said Rural Generalists (RGs) — doctors trained to work across multiple disciplines in rural settings — play a key role in delivering that care.

“Rural Generalist doctors bring advanced skills in emergency medicine, mental health, surgery, maternity care, anaesthetics, and more – and are trained to deliver wholeof-life care in settings beyond the urban footprint,” he said.

“Whether it’s responding to a machinery accident, providing mental health support via telehealth, or managing chronic disease, RGs are vital to the fabric of healthy rural communities.”

As the only medical college dedicated to training a Rural Generalist workforce, ACRRM says that improving access to these services is not only good for individual farmers but also for the future of entire communities.

“Investing in RGs will not only improve rural health outcomes — it will help stabilise the rural medical workforce and support the sustainability of rural towns,” Dr Martin said.

“It’s time we recognised that building up rural healthcare is part of building up rural Australia.”

While Farm Safety Week has wrapped up for another year, the message is clear: year-round support for rural healthcare is essential to safer farms, stronger communities, and a more resilient agricultural sector.

Comments: Weekly throughput was restricted to just over 70,000 tonnes due to bin derailments and wet weather. The season-to-date total is now 913,495 tonnes. The average weekly CCS was 12.55, which is above the seasonto-date average of 12.37 units. Cane quality, purity and CCS levels remain pleasingly high, however, there are still some rakes of low quality cane causing factory chokes and reduced crush rates.

Creating A Space You Love

Whether you’re settling into a new home, revamping your garden, or simply refreshing your living space, the way we shape our surroundings has a powerful impact on how we feel. A well-loved home doesn’t have to be perfect – it just needs to reflect your personality, support your lifestyle, and offer a sense of comfort.

In recent years, we’ve seen a growing trend towards practical and sustainable design choices in both homes and gardens. People are making the most of indoor-outdoor flow, bringing nature in with potted plants and leafy corners, and turning unused spaces into productive gardens. Even a small courtyard or balcony can be transformed into a thriving herb patch or flower haven with a few clever containers and a splash of creativity.

Inside the home, it’s all about balance and function. Storage solutions are getting smarter, colour palettes are more calming, and natural materials remain popular for their warmth and timeless appeal. Whether you’re into upcycled vintage finds or sleek modern finishes, there’s always room for both beauty and practicality.

Local trades and services are also a key part of home improvement. From landscape designers and builders to painters and plant nurseries, tapping into regional expertise not only boosts your own space but supports the community too. No matter the size of your home or garden, small improvements can make a big difference. Start where you are, use what you have, and watch your space come to life.

Off The Back Of Loneliness Week… A Reminder You’re Not Alone

Loneliness Awareness Week has just wrapped up, and it was a good reminder to check in on those around you: When was the last time you called your mum? Sent a message to your mate? Or checked in with yourself?

Loneliness doesn’t always look like isolation, it can sneak in quietly. When you feel flat around people, keep busy to avoid thinking, or just don’t feel like “yourself.”

In small towns like Ingham, where life is full and familiar, it can be hard to speak up.

That’s why we’re growing our team here at Tumbleweed Therapies. We’ve been offering outreach clinics in Ingham for over two years now, and we’re excited to welcome Lucia Bunce, an accredited counsellor, to the local team. Lucia brings seven years of experience, a calm, grounded approach, and a passion for helping people feel heard and understood.

Whether it’s stress, anxiety, low mood, grief, burnout or something else you can’t quite name, having someone to talk to can make all the difference. Having someone to talk to is the first step toward overcoming loneliness.

Take the time to check in on yourself so you’re in the right space to check in on others, too.

Support is closer than you think. Contact the Tumbleweed Therapies team on 07 4463 8679, or email intake@tumbleweedtherapies.com and check out their website: www.tumbleweedtherapies. com.au.

Help is right around the corner.

Cardwell RSL To Commemorate Veterans Day

On Monday, the 18th of August, we commemorate the 59th anniversary of a battle between North Vietnamese and Australian Army soldiers. The result was at least 245 Vietnamese Soldiers killed, 18 Aussies killed, and 39 wounded. Those who survived the battle agree that without the Australian, United States and in particular the New Zealand Artillery, the Australian casualties would have been much higher.

There were many other battles during the 10-year war (1962 – 1972), but the Battle of Long Tan was the one that cost Australia the most casualties. Eventually, 521 Aussies paid the ultimate sacrifice in the jun-

gles of South Vietnam, and approximately 3,000 were wounded out of a total force of 61,000.

Like those who used to gather to remember their comrades after the First World War, then the 2nd World War, the Korean War, and the Malayan Emergency. Long Tan Day or Vietnam Veterans Day will eventually morph into Veterans Day, and it is the fervent wish of all Veterans that other young men will never again be selected by birthday lottery to serve in another bloody war.

It’s easy to think you know what a music festival is. A vast, dusty field, hours of queuing, and the logistical puzzle of seeing your favourite bands. But in a picturesque corner of the Whitsundays, the Airlie Beach Festival of Music has completely rewritten the script, transforming the concept from a penned-in weekend to a laid-back, three-day music holiday. This isn’t just an event; it’s an invitation to experience world-class live music in a place that’s as much a star of the show as the artists themselves.

The first thing that sets this festival apart is the heart-stopping backdrop. While other festivals offer a view of a stage and a sea of heads, the Airlie Beach Festival of Music main tent at the Whitsunday Sailing Club gives you a front-row seat to an endless vista of turquoise water, bobbing boats, and the majestic Whitsunday Islands. It’s an immersion of the senses: the sound of a roaring guitar blending with the gentle lapping of the waves, the energy of the crowd mixed with the relaxed, tropical sea breeze. This is a festival that embraces its location, making every moment feel like a holiday.

The music itself is a carefully curated journey. The festival’s lineup is a powerful mix of Australian rock royalty and exciting new talent. From legendary acts that have defined generations to emerging artists discovered through initiatives like

the Passport to Airlie (Australia’s largest original music initiative), there’s a genuine thrill of discovery around every corner.

It doesn’t stop there, with 60 acts in 14 venues across town, the music takes over the entire Airlie Beach community. This “town takeover” format means you can wander from a beachfront bar to a cafe, and from a lively pub to the pumping main stage, all without ever losing the rhythm.

And the value? It’s unmatched. A 3 day pass grants you access to not only three full days of performances but also the included welcome and after parties, extending the good times from Thursday right through to Monday. With a 3-day pass priced at just $325, you’re looking at a festival experience for less than the cost of three average concert tickets.

The focus here is on creating memories, not logistical headaches. The free bus transport from Whitsunday Transit, helping you hop between venues and home again safely and without a worry all day and into the night.

In an industry of big events in an isolated paddock, the Airlie Beach Festival of Music is an intimate, vibrant, and perfectly paced celebration of sound in one of Australia’s most beautiful destinations. It’s more than a festival. It’s the ultimate music holiday, with a range of accommodation packages from camping to 5-star, and it’s calling your name.

Cardwell Parkrun Bulks Numbers

BY VICTORIA VELTON

At Palm Creek, it was a bright and fresh morning for our 20 parkrunners, with a gentle breeze making the course all the more enjoyable. Welcoming three newcomers to the Palm Creek track, two from Team Veteran, four PBs were recorded, including the Fastest timer.

Down on the foreshore, 22 parkrunners took to the scenic path under cool, clear skies. Joined by a great mix of locals and visitors, no doubt in town for the UFO festival, with six newcomers stepping onto the course for the first time. Four PBs were also achieved with the encouragement and energy from everyone, creating a morning

that reminded us why we love parkrun: fresh air, great company and a shared sense of achievement.

Burdekin River Women Take The Win

The newly formed Burdekin River Women’s Rugby League team showed on Saturday, 2nd August, in Charters Towers just why they could be a force in this year’s RLTD women’s premiership race.

When both the Herbert River and Burdekin Rugby Leagues had trouble fielding teams in the RLTD ladies competition, it was decided to try a combined team known as Burdekin River with their own sponsors and colours. It has been a success with the team running fourth and very near the top sides, Centrals and Western Lions.

On the 2nd, playing without two star players, Townsville representative Martina Monday and last year’s Queensland Country player Toni Daisy, the team had a big win over Charters Towers in the western city by 42 to 18.

The team last Saturday was well led by the halves in Inghams’ Paige Horvat and the Burdekins’ Abby King. Paige at five eight is a class footballer, and when she decides to go, she is poetry in motion. Paige scored two tries herself, and with Abby was the perfect linchpin for the outside backs. Abby is very quick with a good step, whilst also being a top defender.

Both Paige and Abby crossed for two tries each, but the player who stood out on the score sheet was Tania Krutzfeldt, who crossed for three tries, and they were not gimmes. Tania, a Blackhawk U19 player this season, showed good hands with anticipation to cross.

Every good team has good bookends up front, and this one is not an exception, with Rebekah Pace and Sarah Castles doing the hard work. Another to stand out was Joeleen O’Niell in the centres, with lock Tanley Rowe. The combined team showed they can defend as well as attack.

They led 26 to 6 at the break when the Lady Miners started a comeback second half, scoring 12 points. The visitors then regathered their thoughts and finished the game off by scoring 12 points of their own to record a good, decisive win.
