Editor’s Note

I passed him over to our publisher Bec Douthwaite, and after months of discussion, it was decided that we would launch a new publication called Burdekin Life.

The new newspaper will have a very similar format to this one, but of course it will be entirely local to the Burdekin, with a full-time journalist living in the region.

For the past few months our team has been contributing to its launch and we are all heading there on September 28 to personally deliver and present the first edition.

For many of the team, the launch has involved considerable effort and planning –a whole new newspaper has been designed, advertising spots have been filled and one member of our team has moved up to the region to be Burdekin Life’s new journo.

As we celebrate this newspaper’s third birthday this week, it is exciting to now be embarking on a fresh challenge, one that will take commitment and dedication from everyone involved.

Thanks to all the team, and especially our publisher Bec who continues to back her dreams and bring us all along for the ride!
