Keeping our beautiful re gion clean and actively seeking ways to prevent litter entering our oceans is ev eryone’s responsibility, and for the next two months the Whit sunday Regional Council is taking the lead by encouraging us all to participate in the Great Northern Clean Up. This annual project is part of the Clean Up Australia initia tive which was started by avid sailor Ian Kiernan in 1990.
The Great Northern Clean Up is held at a specific time of year, between August and October, to encourage communities who live in the tropics to cleanup the land before the wet sea son arrives and washes all the litter into the ocean.

Hi Everyone, I hope you’ve had a fantastic Howweek!often do you see litter on the street and walk on by fig uring that it is someone else’s Howjob? often do you throw a plastic bottle in general waste thinking that one bottle won’t Whenmatter?I was back in England I stayed with my mum and her partner in a little village called Lenham in Kent. On the other side of the village was my brother’s house and we often walked there through the country lanes. England has a lot more litter than Australia, perhaps due to population or perhaps due to less care – who knows!

Rach Quote of the Week: “We don’t need a handful of people doing zero waste perfectly. We need millions of people doing it im perfectly.” (Anne-Marie Bon neau)
What I do know is that my 74-year-old mother and my five-year-old son returned home one afternoon with a brimming black garbage bag and big grins on their faces. My son jubilantly reported to me that he and Gran Gran had used the ‘litter picker’ (a long plastic stick with a claw on the end, which he loved!) to pick up every piece of litter they saw on the way home. My mum is my biggest inspi ration, she is the sort of lady who does good, even when no-one is watching. Encour aging my son to get excited about picking up litter brought my love for her to a whole new Shelevel.does not berate the litter ers and complain about how untidy the world is becoming, instead she just quietly gets on with the job of doing a small part in making it better. As Whitsunday Regional Council get behind the Great Northern Clean Up, I will join them and make my own pledge – I pledge to pick up every piece of litter I see.

There are plans for major redevelopment to create an upscale resort, but nothing has commenced yet.
The parliamentary enquiry of the resort is lands continued onto Hamilton Island the following day and then Keswick Island at the end of the week. It is hoped that the findings will create new regulations which will better supervise the management of our islands.
Whitsunday Conservation Society put a submission in for an enquiry into the management of all resort islands and spokesperson for the group, Tony Fon tes, said that there needs to be a better system in Theplace.group would like to see a stop to any new leases on national park land, no more expansion of exist ing resorts onto national park land and a bond sys tem created where resort owners must deposit an amount that will be used to maintain the island in the event that they are no longer willing to invest.

“If the current disrepair were happening on the mainland, no-one would allow Msthat.”Camm went on to cite the case of Brampton Island where a seven-star resort was going through planning approvals with Council and their current manage ment criteria was rolled-over for a further six years without any new impact study or community consultation.
The three-star Club Med resort on Lin deman Island has been closed since 2012 when it was purchased by Chinese firm White Horse Holding for $12 million. Similarly, Brampton Island which is in the Whitsunday Island group but located in the Mackay region, has been closed since 2010 when United Petroleum, who are registered in Victoria, bought the resort.
There were plans for a $600 million rede velopment but so far nothing has come to Morefruition.locally, the resort on South Molle Is land was bought by a Chinese company in 2016 and was largely destroyed by Cyclone Debbie a few months later. It has been officially closed and slowly fall ing into disrepair since 2019. Long Island’s Club Croc has also been closed for several years but was purchased by a Sydney-based company in 2021.
“I see a real opportunity, post Covid, to see our islands return to their full potential in the way that they are managed sustainably into the future,” she said.
“This island still has no investment and there is significant debris which is impact ing the environment,” she said.
Member for Whitsunday Amanda Camm MP said that resort development needs to be looked at in a sustainable manner and that many of the islands are in “sad disarray”.
Two significant island resorts in the Whit sundays have been closed for over a de cade and with private lease holds on the premises, these dilapidated remains are largely left unmonitored.

Bowen Rail General Manager Brendan Lane said the rail yard was a shining exam ple of the capability of regional contractors and how BRC was delivering on its prom ises of jobs and contracts for locals.
Whitsunday Regional Council Director of Infrastructure Service Adam Hagy con firmed that shopping trolleys are owned by and are solely the responsibility of the respective supermarket chains and not the core business of Council’s Parks and Gar dens teams.

“So to win a contract of this size and then deliver it using local people with local skills is something we’re really proud of.”

“We work closely with dedicated collection contractors who respond quickly to reports of abandoned trolleys to return them to our stores. They also conduct regular sweeps for abandoned trolleys in the streets sur rounding our stores.”
“It’s a big problem in Airlie Beach right now and whenever you go out you see them ev erywhere,” he said. “Of course, it starts with the people but it has been proved that people can’t be trust ed so I believe it is up to Woolworths and Coles to take responsibility.”
“All bbq areas are also cleaned 5 days per week, park furniture maintained and litter picked up to ensure these areas are tidy,” Mr Hagy said. “It would be unfair to burden the ratepay er with increased costs for employing extra staff to collect shopping trolleys for the su permarket chains.

Hailing from Walkerston and then a cane farm on the Victoria Plains, Cathy married when she was young and had three chil dren: Benjamin, Emma-Kate, and Adam.
An inspiring local lady and muchloved family woman, Cathy Knezevic, passed away last week following a brave two-and-a-half-year bat tle with cancer.
“The provisioning yard is a critical piece of infrastructure for us,” Mr Lane said.
The skills of a knowledgeable and dedicated local workforce has been attributed to the successful com pletion and quality workmanship behind Bowen Rail Company’s $62 million rail yard which employed a team of over 300 during its construction phase. Nine hundred and fifty-seven drainage el ements and 28 footy fields of earthworks later and Bowen business, Hillery Group, has put the finishing touches on the local rail provisioning yard. Its Chief Executive Officer, Luke Hillery, said that winning the $20 million contract as part of the overall project was enormous for his business and the community and the benefits would be felt long into the fu “Weture. see the value that Bowen Rail Compa ny is bringing to the Bowen area on a daily basis,” he said.
Cathy loved a practical joke and, if she saw a family member’s car unattended, would often jump in and either drive off or hide and jump out on them. She will also be remembered for her unique dress “Mum’ssense.look and image is iconic - she had some serious style!” said Adam.
A local resident named Josh said that when he walked home one evening from the town centre to Port of Airlie, he came across 21 abandoned trolleys in a 600-metre walk.
Cathy worked for 20 years as a librarian at Mackay City Council, as well as managing the Council’s art collection. She was the Inaugural art curator of Mackay Artspace gallery and exhibitions, and Collections manager of Mackay Artspace’s nationally significant Artists Book collection. She became the Director of Mackay’s Art house Gallery and Whitsunday Art Gal lery, and was the Founding Director of the Whitsundays Art Festival, which is now in its third year. In a loving relationship with Tom for 38 years, the couple were a formidable force as the multi-award-winning Mack ay Queensland Homes build ing company where Cathy’s interior design skills were in Thvaluable.epeople she met through out her life and the positive and lasting relationships she created, however, were by far her biggest accomplishments alongside raising her children and becoming a grandmother.
It appears that many of the culprits are local yachties who take shopping trolleys down to their vessel then simply leave them in the bushes assuming the supermarket will eventually retrieve them.

Airlie Beach residents certainly will be saddened to see the show’s lead, Travis Fimmel of Vikings fame, depart – al though they got their fair share of selfies alongside the actor.
“It’s been amazing to see the enthusiasm for our series from all the locals we have met, along with great help from the Whit sunday Regional Council.”

Black Snow Wraps In Proserpine
Proserpine Museum was saddened to hear of the recent passing of Colin Abell in Perth on August 3. Colin was the great grandson of pioneers, Richard (Dick) and Annie Abell, and is the author of “Three Abell Men” and its sequel “More Abell Men”; books which chronicle the part played by the Abell family in the settlement of Airlie Beach. Colin spent twenty years writing “Three Abell Men” - a compilation of the family’s stories as Airl ie’s first settlers. Colin’s grandfather told most of the stories, corroborated by Col in’s father, Edward, and his siblings. Ed ward Abell was the first white child born in upper Jubilee Pocket (now known as Airlie Beach). In his teen years, he had an aptitude for photography. He was one of few to have a camera in the early 1920s, a little box brownie, and he spent many months writing down the various stories and events eventually compiled in this book. “Three Abell Men” is no dry and dusty history of the early days in the Whitsun days. This wonderful family history is full of adventure, laughter and mishaps. It is a story about three generations of Asadventurers.toldbyEdward Abell and compiled by Colin, “Three Abell Men” is the sto ry of the Abell family who migrated from Herefordshire, England; firstly, to Boonah in southern Queensland before moving to Jubilee Pocket. In August 1904, Colin Abell’s great grandparents stepped onto the Whitsunday coast with nine children and a babe-in-arms. To escape the southern drought, the family had travelled by train to Rockhampton and then a ship, the “Aramac”, took them to Bowen. From there they hired the sail ing boat, “Nellie”, to make the journey to their selections in Jubilee Pocket. Col in’s grandfather, Arthur (Pa) Abell, was twenty at the time. The family stood on the beach, laden with luggage and tools and facing a new world. When the Abells came to Airlie Beach, it was raw rainforest. Here, Colin’s great grandparents, Dick and Annie, selected and purchased the area now known as Airlie Beach for the princely sum of 2/6 (25c) per acre. Dick arrived with hardly a penny to his name yet he ended up own ing the whole of what is now known as Airlie Beach. Throughout Colin’s book, adversity and laughter inter mingle. The Abell children were fortunate in the extreme to live in a para¬dise where hardships and hard work were tempered by daily adventure in the ever changing environment of the beautiful Whitsundays. The name “Abell” is still well known in the district. Abell Point and Abell Road are reminders of the family’s significance in the “Threearea.Abell

The crime, which shocked the small town of Ashford and devastated Jasmine’s Australian South Sea Islander community, was never solved, the killer never found.

Did you know: That if your milk is on the edge, you can dilute it and add that to your tomato plant’s soil? his family
A lack of water when your flowers are ap pearing will guarantee that they will fall off your beloved plant.

A sure sign that pollination was poor and that your soil lacked fertiliser, is when your tomatoes look great, but they are light in weight and when you cut them open, rather than being juicy and full, they have gaps/spaces with no content. Fer tilise your tomatoes monthly with Seasol. Make sure you give them a great kick start when first planting with good soil. We have bagged soils specifically for tomatoes but you can certainly mix your home com post through the soil. Later in the year, sunburn can be a prob lem for tomatoes (again vegetable nets are great, offering 20 per cent shade). Over pruning can expose tomatoes to the sun too, so you want to always leave shade

There is nothing more frus trating than nurturing your tomato plants from seed, snow peas or cauli flowers (or any vegetable for that mat ter) for 60-100 days only to see numer ous holes left by caterpillars in what was a week ago, a beautiful vegetable that you were excited to pick, eat, or share with friends and neighbours. Well, that was before I installed my vegie nets. Now I watch them flutter over the nets, occasionally land on them and “fly away”. I can appreciate them now. Many vegetable gardeners will be picking their tomatoes now or maybe preparing new tomato beds after other crops have recently finished producing. So, what are common problems with to mato growing (other than caterpillars)?

With Norina Jane What gives me anxiety in the garden? Moths!
Oneleaves.last thing I have to mention, is cracked skin. This is caused by inconsistent water ing. If you let the soil dry out for a day or three, then your tomato is going to be very thirsty! When water finally arrives, it is going to take in as much as it can (you try going two days without water and see what you do when given a litre) and your fruit will split.
If you are not getting many flowers (and therefore poor fruit set), there may be too much nitrogen in your soil. Over fertilis ing tomatoes will encourage leaf growth but at the cost of your fruit. If you have lots of flowers but no fruit set, chances are your tomato plants are too close together. Tomatoes, like corn (as discussed last week) are self-pollinators. They rely on the wind to pollinate (as well as beneficial insects), so if your tomato plants are way too close together, you are stopping the wind from doing its job. Poor pollination can also mean undersized and/ or tasteless tomatoes. So, thin out your to mato Otherplants.things to be aware of during polli nation are temperature and water.

The one other thing worth mentioning at this time of year is that if the temperature at night drops below 12 degrees, chances are your tomato flowers may drop off. An other month and that should no longer be something you need to consider.

Queenslanders are excellent at fire preven tion, but are you getting the dental checks you deserve? Are your teeth going to last? Airlie Smile Care (previously Noel Danton Dental) has prevention and excellent oral health at its heart. Life is busy. Who has time to attend to dental appointments? If it doesn’t hurt, then it is healthy right? Unfortunately, no. Just like feeling thirsty, feeling tooth pain is a bad way to judge your health. Pain often means bigger prob lems. It can mean that the fix needs to be much bigger than if issues had been caught earlier. A good healthcare professional will look for signs, not wait for symptoms. At Airlie Smile Care we ensure that your dental exams are extremely thorough, and understandable. We take the care to listen to the history and current environment of your mouth and teeth. We utilise the most modern training and use technology to show and explain any issues that might be starting to arise in your mouth. You will be checked for gum disease, tooth decay, tooth wear, muscle and jaw joint (TMJ) health and we check for oral cancer. We provide all treatments from extractions, white fillings and root canal treatments and also excel at replacing lost teeth with implants, straightening and whitening with fast orthodontic treat ments, cosmetic veneers, “smile designs” same day crowns and whitening, and we do it all in a caring gentle manner.

There are so many personalities in a work place and managing them so they stay effec tive becomes the major focus for many in leadership roles. Today’s workspace requires adapting to those personalities you have in your team to enhance their work strengths in a way which suits the business and creates a sense of achievement for each individual. When this is achieved, the business and its people Personalitythrive.types can range from – dramatic, controlling, needy, bully, pessimist, gossip, passive-aggressive, narcissist. Identifying the behaviours of those above helps us manage the behaviours in order to create positive outcomes. Each personality has some strength you may be able to lever Consider,age. the pessimist can be a great asset in an auditing role, the needy loves to be mi cro-managed, the controlling can be a great er project manager, the gossip could make a fantastic social club coordinator. Potentially negative personalities exist in all workspaces but by harnessing the positive strengths of each you can turn a potentially harmful per sonality into a workplace asset. But also ask yourself, could you be one of these personalities? Is being a difficult per son who I am or what I sometimes do? And how could you manage your more negative behaviours to create a better workplace cul ture. Stop, think, and pause. Learn to re spond rather than react. It’s worth the effort.
By Gus Walsgott from Whitsunday Coast Chamber of Commerce
Personality is the characteristics and traits that define a person’s thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. Difficult workplace personalities negatively affect the well-being of team-members, the business, and its customers. Personality irri tations result in lower productivity and in creased absenteeism among other negative consequences. Examples include belittling comments, gossip, double standards, yelling at others, with-holding important informa tion, and taking credit for other’s work

Agroup of eight people from across the country set out earlier this month to paddle their way around the Whitsundays by kayak, raising over $25 thousand in much needed funds to protect and restore the Great Barrier Reef.
“As well, to show what the Great Barrier Reef Foundation and all its partners are do ing to reduce those threats and build reef resilience.
“What could we do instead that we could have as an adventure, but also tickled our philanthropic bone?
Great Barrier Reef Foundation rep and experienced kayaker Laura Dunstan led much of the Wednesday to Sunday trip, which wove a path from locations includ ing Whitehaven Beach, around Hassel wood Island, past North Hook Island and back to Mt Jefferies.
“We had an experience where we’d seen some of the bleaching [at the reef] in pre vious years, and my husband has a definite passion for the area, having grown up in “ThisTownsville.opportunity for the kayak adven ture came up, and with Great Barrier Reef Foundation helming it, that just ticked all the boxes.”
Ms Dunstan, who has a background in Ma rine Biology, said it was an incredible ex perience being able to go back and “inspire people about the reef.”
It certainly was an adventure, with the pad dlers kayaking an average of 16km per day.
The genesis of the kayak adventure began in the Great Barrier Reef Foundation’s fund raising team to get people involved on a monetary level and then on an experiential “Tolevel.physically go out, see the reef, have that connection to country and to the reef, to see where that money was going,” Ms Dun stan said. “
A welcome to country was performed by Eric Lymburner, a Traditional Owner and proud Ngaro man – which Ms Plant said was an experience unlike any other.
“A beautiful sunrise with the whales com ing in and playing around the kayaks in the early morning. You can’t put a price on that,” Ms Plant said. “We were paddling out in the dark, come around the corner from Maureen’s Cove – a completely coral beach with no sand – and the colour in the sky.
Kayaking To Help Save The Reef
The Great Barrier Reef Foundation hosted eight travellers from across Australia with the goal of raising funds to protect and restore the reef
To go to a reef that had experienced major catastrophic events like Cyclone Debbie, to see all the baby coral that we and other or ganisations had planted and are spawning, it instils hope for the reef.”
“October last year, my husband and I real ised we were coming up on ten years mar ried. It was a big occasion and we wanted to make it something special,” Mrs Plant said.
“To have both Eric and Laura on the trip with us, both wellsprings of knowledge on everything, it was fantastic, and I can’t thank them enough,” she said.
Strong connection to country was an im portant cornerstone of the kayak adventure – which Ms Dunstan said will become a regular, annual event for the organisation.
On the final day of the trip, Ms Dunstan and Mrs Plant said the Reef put on a show for the impassioned fundraisers.
“ That trip gave me hope for the reef and made us want to keep fighting to save it.”
“Everything was quiet and still, there was no sound, and you hear the whales breath ing – big plumes out of the water. It was the best day ever. Thinking about it now, it was that moment where you think: this is con nection to country, land, and sea.
“My role on the Whitsunday Kayak adven ture was to be the representative; to pass on all of my knowledge and passion of the reef, reef creatures, and what threats there are to it,” Ms Dunstan said.
The Great Barrier Reef Foundation hopes to run the trip and fundraising arm of the Whitsundays Kayak Adventure into the fu ture and interested parties can reach out to them via their website.
“A big part of my role was to thank the par ticipants for all of the funds they’ve raised and will continue to raise for the Founda tion and our projects.”
The group enjoyed a spectacular showing from one of the World’s Natural Wonders, including picturesque sunsets and whale shows

Coinciding with the Great Barrier Reef Festival, the inaugural Whitsundays Kayak Adventure for the Reef took off from Shute Harbour on August 4. With a host of Queenslanders, New South Welshman and Victorians – as well as a few locals – the Great Barrier Reef Foundation organised trip saw its contingent “put their paddles where their passion is”. The group – who each contributed to a $25 thousand fundraising campaign - included the likes of sisters celebrating a 40th birth day, a married couple from Sydney who’d taken stock of their lives and committed to giving back, and a UK expat living in Vic toria whose visit was their first ever to the Becreef. Plant and her husband Edward Plant were two participants who took part in the five-day kayak adventure and had their own story which inspired their journey.
RSLs commemorated the day - which coincides with the anniver sary of the Battle of Long Tan, the single largest unit battle fought in the war by Australian soldiers - with their own cer emonies and wreath laying.
At 11am on August 18, the coun try marked Australia’s Vietnam Veterans Day with a minute’s Whitsundaysilence.
“It is a day that is very, very important. The anniversary of the Battle of Long Tan in 1966 – a fierce battle which took place at a rubber plantation near Nui Dad in South Vietnam,” he said.

Sub-Branch President John Eyles read the ode after a few wreaths were lain, most notably by ‘Rusty’ Vincent, who laid his wreath on behalf of the Vietnam “Lestveterans.we forget,” Mr Eyles said.
Mr Willcox thanked the veterans for their service: “Thank you for making Australia the best country to live in. If we are truly to honour the ANZAC spirit, we must live by it; as a nation, we must stand by our mates.”
“It is an incredible story of winning against the odds; a story that reflects the ANZAC spirit: courage, mateship, te nacity, and humour.”
“To find that more current and former ADF Members have died by suicide than in combat in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars shows that the system is broken. “As a nation, we need to do more for our veterans. We must do better.”
Bowen RSL observed Vietnam’s Veterans Day “In Memory Of All Fallen Comrades” Wreaths were lain during the ceremony, which coincides with the reunion of the battle of Long Tan in 1966.
For Dawson, Andrew Willcox said it was an honour to address the crowd at the Sub-Branch on such a sol emn occasion.
Mr Willcox took the opportunity to not only honour the past, but to look to wards the future – particularly in refer ence to the treatment of veterans. “Veterans today are entitled to be treated with professionalism and respect. I hope the current Royal Commission into De fence and Veteran’s Suicide serves as a call to action,” The Member for Dawson “Wesaid. need urgent action to deal with the backlog of veteran claims and make it easier for veterans’ voices to be heard.
The plan is to grow the section every year with student and staff recommendations taken into consideration.
Acting Principal of Bowen State High School, Steve Baskerville, said it was fan tastic to see texts being a representation of the diversity of the students.
16 Community News Friday August 26th 2022
There were immediately five of the eight books borrowed in the first few days, com ing back in drabs before being borrowed again in what the school said is an excel lent success.
Mr Murray took the issue to his fellow staff members, and together they vetted and gathered a collection of appropriate, highschool level texts (including award-win ning and excellently written novels) which promote inclusivity or tell stories centred around queer or gender fluid characters.
“We value every student, so it’s important for me as a teacher and for the team as a school to feel there’s a safe and supportive environment for them.”
“The student who wrote the essay which prompted this whole section is proud of what she wrote and the end result of what’s been accomplished,” Mr Murray said.
An assessment piece from a lo cal Bowen State High School student has highlighted the power of the written word, leading her school to open an LGBTIQA+ section of its library.

To officially unveil the section, a rainbow cake cutting was held in the resource cen tre, with leadership, teachers, and students enjoying the inclusive celebration.
The local high school met “another milestone in its journey to inclusion” with the unveiling of the small sec tion in its resource centre, which is dedicated to representation.

“That’s important for the students who identify in those diverse ways. But it’s also important for every other student as well as they make their way through the school and out into the world where they’ll en gage with people from a range of different backgrounds,” he said.
Teacher Stephen Murray, Head of the English Department at Bowen State High School, said the genesis of the idea didn’t come from faculty, but instead from an essay written by a well-read stu “Theydent. stated in the text they’d created that they saw no representations of their iden tity in the books that they read, despite being a voracious reader of fiction,” Mr Murray said. “They found no queer characters, no characters that were gender fluid and that struck a chord with me. I thought: Bowen State High School is on an inclusive jour ney; we want everyone to feel included. “It struck me that it’s just not right.”
The eight books which form the basis of the section are now available to be signed out by students in an honour system where they may take the books home anony mously, without signing them out.
“The thing I’ll take with me once the race is finished is the impact that we’ve had on people who’ve never felt comfortable hav ing a conversation about what they’re feel ing,” he said.

For A Mango
Lachlan Spark, an avid runner and mental health advocate who’s spent most of 2022 running half marathons up the Australian east coast, dropped into Bowen’s Big Mango last week in the latter stage of his epic 5000-kilometre journey from Hobart to Cairns.
Over 200 days ago, Lachie began his mis sion in cold Tasmania to run 228 con secutive half-marathons up the country’s eastern seaboard in what he calls ‘The 222 Run’, arriving in sunny Cairns. He had two goals aside from the physical and mental challenge of running 21.1 ki lometres per day for the better part of a year: to raise funds and to raise awareness for Australians living with depression and anxiety, an issue deeply close to Lachie’s “I’dheart.come up with the idea many years ago while I was living in Melbourne. I was in credibly depressed and was worried about my future because of it,” Lachie said. “I thought I could do something extraor dinary. So, I came up with the idea that I wanted to run the length of the Australian east Liningcoast.”upwith the charities R U OK? and Heart On My Sleeve to raise awareness and funds, Lachie began his long, personal journey with an altruistic goal. Last week, on day 196, Lachie dropped in at Bowen’s Big Mango for the “world’s best mango sorbet”.

I’m gunning to finish it this year, and it would be great to do it in the Canary,” Chris said. “Every time I’ve had to retire out broken, I’ve been in the lead.

The Bowen local and ac countant by trade credits his offroad buggy, which helps him fulfill his passion for roaring down the dirt-track of the Don River that cuts through Bowen at 140-kilme tres per hour, with giving him a new lease on life.
“I had retired from speedway and flat track racing on quad bikes at the age of 52; I kept waking up in hospital. I had always raced –done it all my life – and I just thought after one too many times: nope, that’s enough,” Chris said. “A few years after that, I caught melioido sis, a tropical disease out of the ground, and spent three months in hospital, three weeks of that in intensive care. I was sup posed to be dead; none of them expected me to live through it.

Given the avian moniker for its diminutive stature, Chris’s ‘Yellow Canary’ holds a special place in his heart, having joined him as part of Team Land racing shortly after a bout of major sickness, which at its worst had him 48 hours away from dying. He recognises the Canary helped him conquer the mental battle which comes with coming so close to death.

Purcell’s Drover’s Wife – unlike Lawson’s - has a name: Molly Johnson. Set in 1893, on an isolated property, a heavily pregnant Molly Johnson (Pur cell) and her children struggle to sur vive the harsh Australian landscape; her husband is gone, droving sheep in the high country. Molly finds herself confronted by – instead of the black snake in Law son’s original story – a black man. The shackled Aboriginal fugitive Yadaka (played by Rob Collins), and an un likely bond begins to form between him and Molly. It turns the outback back to front, focusing on women. And, while occasionally lilting with modern sensibilities, Purcell’s debut is a deft dissection of theme and modern Australia, by looking at the past through a First Nations and female lens.
Leah Purcell writes, stars, and directs in The Drover’s Wife Legend of Molly Johnson, a re-interpreta tion of a re-imagining of Henry Lawson’s 1892 short story Drover’s Wife. If that weren’t enough to signal it as a uniquely Australian story, then I don’t know what is. Like Lawson’s story itself, Purcell’s adap tation has its own storied history – one which sees it reinterpret the great Austra lian writer’s work for a new era, but whilst maintaining its thematic heart.

The Legend Of Molly Johnson
At the age of five, Purcell – a First Nation’s actress, playwright, novelist and now di rector, who’s been much a part of Austra lian cinema’s greatest hurrahs of the past two decades – was read the nine-page, seminal Australian fiction work of Henry Lawson’s as a bedtime story by her mother. It’s a story that has “been with me for 45 years,” Purcell says. It’s a link to her past, and a long forgotten Australian one, that she’s retold now in three different mediums: a play, in 2016, and a novel in 2019 - both loosely based on Lawson’s classic – and now her debut film outing as a director.

WHAT: ‘Dreams’ Fleetwood Mac Tribute
For Mac fans, it’s a must see. As ‘Dreams’ The Fleetwood Mac Tribute arrives at The Pub Not just a vocal recreation, the band recreate the magic of the instrumentals of Fleetwood Mac
With just a few weeks to go until the Whitsun days signature event, organisers are busy planning and preparing for what is expected to be the biggest White on White haven Long Table Lunch with the event being held over three stun ning spring days. Harnessing a love for the beauti ful Whitsunday region and an ap petite for delicious fresh produce, award-winning catering company Fish D’vine will create a culinary feast for guests to enjoy on the silica sands of Whitehaven Beach.

Can you hear me calling out your name? I’ll speak a little louder, I’ll even shout: get to The Airlie Beach Hotel this September for ‘Dreams’ a Fleet wood Mac Tribute unlike any other. It’s time to Tango In The Night with this impeccable recreation of one of the world’s best-selling bands of all time at The Pub on September 10 and 11. Re-live the performances from the seven ties and eighties with one of history’s most legendary bands – and its leading lady, Stevie Nicks – with the ‘Dreams’ show from 2.00pm to 5.30pm both days.
Although there’s no snow-covered hills in Airlie Beach, there’s certainly going to be a Landslide of Fleetwood Mac favourites thrumming out from the Hotel. It’s a full complement of the British-Amer ican band’s repertoire of tunes: Go Your Own way, Gypsy, Edge of Seventeen, Rooms on Fire, Say You Love Me, Every where, Sara, The Chain and many, many more are going to feature!
whitsundaytickets.com.au
Don’t just take our word for it though, Dennis Dunstan, former Fleetwood Mac manager from 1981 to 1999, said: “The ‘Dreams’ Show was a breath of fresh air when it comes to Fleetwood Mac tribute shows. These guys deliver, big time!” “I was thoroughly impressed from start to finish. Don’t miss this show if you’re a Mac Notfan!”only does it refabricate the vocals of Stevie Nicks – eerily recapturing the magic in a bottle of her sound - but it pays deli cate, close-to-perfection levels of tribute to Lindsay Buckinham’s guitar prowess. Most notably in performances of Never Going Back Again – arguably the hardest finger-picking combination in a pop song ever. Fleetwood Mac did have to hire three guitarists to replace Buckingham, after all! Then, when the curtains are looking to close on Fleetwood Mac, each afternoon show will conclude with a very special cover set by ‘Krush’, the tribute band’s al ter-ego when they’re not recapturing the magic of the 120 million record-selling Bothband. bands are fronted by ex-Las Vegas dancer and performer Nikki Canale, who tears it up on stage, giving it her all. Don’t miss your chance to see one of the country’s best Fleetwood Mac shows en tirely free at The Airlie Beach Hotel in September!

In the penultimate week of the regular premier league season, Airlie Beach Darts had a few telling results. The early match was between Jamie Woods and Lorraine Woods. The 7/1 result in fa vour of Jamie influenced both ends of the Thetable.loss for Lorraine means she needs a win on the last day of the season to avoid this year’s wooden spoon. Still at risk of being overtaken by Lorraine, Jayden Lloyd suffered two losses on Sun day: 7/1 to Seumas Rose, and later 7/4 to Gary Robbie. Leaving him in 13th place with no more matches remaining. For Jamie Woods, that win secures him the league victory for this year with a week to spare, as Jamie Maher suffered a tough 7/5 loss to Joe Wilson, who himself still has ambitions of finishing the year in sec ond place. The final eight are set for this year’s final series but the positions are not.
There’s still a lot to play for next week on the last day of the season. The premier league is sponsored by Mika Airlie and Whitsunday Tattooing.
