DROP IN WITH DANIEL

Hi everyone, I hope you’ve all had a great week.

Last Friday we sent our latest editions of Core and Tripping to print. The build-up is always exciting but stressful, and the following week the whole office feels the relief—it’s nice to catch a breath before diving into the next edition.

From Monday, Core and Tripping will be hitting stands around town. This edition of Core was an especially exciting one for me. As Rachael mentioned in a previous editor’s note, I had the chance to interview Johnathan Thurston. I come from a Rugby Union background myself, but I still watched him play in Origin, and it was awesome to have a chat with him.

Although I prefer Union, I was still nervous and felt a little bit of pressure on the journey up to Townsville.

The Johnathon Thurston Academy is dedicated to supporting disadvantaged and Indigenous youth, helping them build confidence, skills, and cultural identity. Programs cover education, employment readiness, leadership, and mental health, with initiatives encouraging

goal-setting and positive role models.

Built on JT’s core values of confidence, courage, and self-belief, the Academy places a strong emphasis on community and family engagement.

He said the long-term vision is to see the Academy expand nationally, and he wants to give more young Australians the chance to unlock their potential and pursue their dreams.

Leaving the interview with JT, Rach, Trish and I felt inspired and proud—not only for having interviewed a high-profile ex-athlete known across the country, but also for what it meant for Core Magazine.

Soon we’ll begin the creative process for the November/ December editions of Core and Tripping magazines, which will feature Year in Review pieces and Pets in Business. I always enjoy this issue; seeing our political figures’ years spotlighted in articles is one of my favourite reads. Quote of the Week: “Pressure? What pressure? Pressure is for tyres.” - Alan Shearer

WHITSUNDAY LIONS RAISE OVER $12,000 FOR LOCAL HEALTH AND WELLBEING

The Whitsunday Lions Club have once again shown their commitment to the community, raising more than $12,000 at their annual fourth Charity Golf Day, hosted by Whitsunday Green. The funds have been donated to the Proserpine Hospital and the Whitsunday Suicide Prevention Network (WSPN).

The Proserpine Hospital announced that with the donation they will be purchasing a Patient Transfer Scale, a large board for transporting patients with an integrated weighing scale and a size chart. They also confirmed they will be purchasing a ‘Tweegy’ wheelchair, designed to have better manoeuvrability, a better braking system, a stackable design and more.

Golf Committee Chairman

Alan Gravelle said the Whitsunday Lions Club has supported the Proserpine Hospital in the past and consistently

help them out. He also added that the Golf Day is always a highlight for the club. “The Golf Day is always a great day and I am looking forward to more Charity Golf Days in the future,” he said.

Assistant Golf Manager at Whitsunday Green John Miller said it was his first time acting as Assistant Manager for the Charity Golf Day, but everything went smoothly.

“Over 180 players participated, it was a great success and hopefully next year we'll have a bigger course,” he said.

With record participation, strong community backing, and meaningful donations directed to vital services, the annual Charity Golf Day has once again proven to be more than just a sporting event. It is a tradition that brings people together, supports essential healthcare, and strengthens wellbeing across the Whitsundays.

LUCKY LOCALS SCOOP MILLIONS

The Whitsundays is buzzing with excitement this week following the announcement that two winning Lotto tickets valued at over $2 million each were purchased locally.

The ticket sold at Hickmott's Supa News in Bowen remains unclaimed as of Wednesday, 17 September, sparking speculation it may have been purchased by a visitor unaware of their good fortune.

“We were so excited when we first found out,” said Angela Stevens, manager of Hickmott’s Supa News.

“It’s so nice to have another major lottery win come our way, as it’s been a few years since our last one! The winner could be anyone, especially with all the visitors in town for the Don River Dash and Father’s Day.

"While it would be great if a local won, we’ll be happy for whoever it is.”

Meanwhile, the $2 million ticket purchased at News Whitsundays has already been claimed.

The lucky ticket holder only discovered their win when they brought the ticket in to be checked.

“They had no idea they’d won until we told them, and I think they were in shock!” said Renee from News Whitsunday. “It was won by a local, which is great because that money stays in our region.”

Congratulations to the lucky winner from everyone in the community.

If you have an unchecked Lotto ticket hiding at the bottom of your bag, bring it into a local retailer—you could be the missing ticket holder and $2.5 million richer!

New Citizens Welcomed

On Monday 15 September, 24 people took the pledge and the next step to become Australian Citizens.

Held at the Proserpine Entertainment Centre (PEC) with Whitsunday Regional Council Mayor Ry Collins, Federal Member for Dawson Andrew Willcox, Whitsunday Regional Council Councillor Clay Bauman, and Uncle Leo Gabey present on the day.

Mayor Collins welcomed the new citizens, sharing what it means to be Australian and affirming that they are now part of this vibrant and enriching culture.

“Australia is built on values like fairness, equality, and respect for every individual. We believe in giving everyone a fair go. Working hard, supporting our communities, and embracing the unique qualities that each person brings,” he said.

“As new citizens, you are now part of this shared journey, one that celebrates our differences and strengthens our unity.

“I know that each of you will carry these values forward, contributing to the ongoing story of our nation.

“Your diverse backgrounds, cultures, and experiences enrich our community, and we welcome you wholeheartedly.”

Pop Up Chamber Event

Coffee, Connections & Conversations

Last Friday Whitsunday Chamber and Porters Mitre 10 Whitsunday hosted a Pop Ip event and it was a morning was full of energy, conversation, and community spirit, with more than 30 local business operators and community members dropping by.

Guests enjoyed the StarFM live broadcast, plenty of giveaways, a tasty BBQ brekkie courtesy of Keith, and perfectly brewed coffee from McMoon Coffee Caravan. It was a fantastic opportunity to catch up with familiar faces, make new connections, and share ideas about business opportunities and challenges in the Whitsundays.

Above all, Chamber said it was a great opportunity for people to network without the formalities.

“What we aimed to do, was to have a bit of a focal point around an informal drop in for business owners, tradies and the general public to learn more about chamber, network, and get rid of all of that fussy formality that sometimes people don’t enjoy about business education,” said Chamber.

“A lot of people were asking about our advocacy efforts, particularly into all levels

of government, Council and state government in particular.

“Some of the things that were of interest to people were, how do I scale up my business, because we had representatives there from trade investment Queensland.

“People were thinking about, where are the export opportunities, and who’s actually doing a lot of international trade? Even the little micro businesses that are based in the Whitsundays, what are they actually doing?

“Others were a little bit curious about what’s going on with the cruise ship market, as well as some new faces looking at features and benefits becoming a chamber member.”

These casual, open-door networking mornings are about more than just coffee and conversation — they’re about building stronger relationships across the local business community.

The Chamber looks forward to bringing Pop Up Chamber events back in 2026, with more chances to connect, collaborate, and celebrate the great businesses that make the Whitsunday region thrive.

Bowen Fishing Classic

The Bowen Fishing Classic is back for another year, offering a modern twist on a beloved local tradition. With over 30 years of history, this year’s event is reimagined to bring a fresh and exciting experience for both locals and visitors.

Organiser Lukas Adam, who moved to Bowen four years ago, has worked hard to modernise this year’s event. “All the traditional elements you know and love, but with a fresh, reimagined twist to give the fishing classic a modern edge,” says Lukas. He’s passionate about using his digital marketing skills to reinvigorate the event for the community. Lukas adds, “I made the Fishing Classic into an official notfor-profit organisation and have secured long-term council backing as an economic tourism-driving event, as opposed to just a community event it was in the past.”

A major update this year is the increased focus on digital engagement. With a brand-new website, online ticket sales, and live event feeds, it’s easier than ever for at-

tendees to participate and stay updated. Manager of Bowen Tourism and Business, Leanne Abernethy, said it was fantastic that the Fishing Classic was being held again this year. “This event is great for locals and visitors, and we are pleased to see it is being held again in 2025. If this event grows in future years, it is sure to provide an economic boost for the region and attract more visitors to Bowen,” she said.

The competition promises to be fierce, with a range of exciting prizes up for grabs. Lukas shares, “Some of the biggest prizes include the $30,000 boat… and all the champion angler prizes.”

While Lukas has introduced a modern touch to the event, he remains committed to preserving the simplicity and charm that have made it a local favourite for decades. By blending tradition, innovation, and strong community spirit, the Bowen Fishing Classic continues to be an unmissable highlight of the year.

Multi-Vehicle Crash Near Bowen

Just after 7am on Monday 15th September, the BMA CQ Rescue Helicopter was called to a multi-vehicle crash near Bowen, outside a service station between Proserpine and Bowen.

With several people injured, the rescue helicopter landed on the Bruce Highway so the medical team could provide urgent treatment. Emergency services worked together at the scene to deliver the best possible care.

Two patients required specialist treatment in Townsville. The aircraft was quickly reconfigured to transport both, arriving at Townsville Hospital about 10.30am where specialists were waiting.

BMA CQ Rescue General Manager Lisa Martin said moments like this highlight the crew’s innovation: “When it became apparent that two patients needed critical care urgently, while the Doctor and Paramedic treated the patients, the crew got to work and reconfigured the helicopter to ensure both patients would get to hospital as quickly as possible. To ensure there was enough room for the patients needed, one crew member opted to stay behind.”

Rescue Crew Officer Ben Grenier, who remained at the scene, said, “I didn’t think twice. They needed care. Of course, I opted out. I wish them all a speedy recovery.”

Community Mourns the Loss of Beloved Collinsville Couple in Fatal Car Crash

The Collinsville community is in mourning following a tragic car crash near Springlands on Wednesday, 10th September, which claimed the lives of a beloved husband and wife.

Emergency services responded to a two-vehicle collision on Peter Delemothe Road, located between Strathalbyn and Strathmore Roads, around 12.30pm. Investigations suggest that a silver Mazda 2, travelling west, collided head-on with a white Toyota Hilux coming in the opposite direction.

Sadly, 63-year-old Glenville Drinkwater and his wife, 61-year-old Lynette Drinkwater, both from Collinsville, were pronounced dead at the scene. The male driver of the Mazda and his passenger, who were known and loved in the small North Queensland town, have left families, friends, and the entire community devastated by their sudden loss.

The driver of the Toyota Hilux was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Authorities are appealing for anyone with dashcam footage or additional information regarding the crash to come forward.

The Queensland Police Service reminds motorists that road safety is everyone’s responsibility. Serious crashes can often be

avoided by steering clear of the “Fatal Five” risky driving behaviours: speeding, drink or drug driving, failure to wear seatbelts,

fatigue, and distraction. For more information on road safety, visit qld.gov.au/police/fatal-five-staying-safe-roads.

Stronger Homes Grant

EEnd of an Era: Whitsunday News Bids Farewell

This week marks the final chapter for the community newspaper Whitsunday News, which has been part of the region since its inception in 2020. After shifting to an online-only format in 2024, the publication has now announced it will officially close its doors.

arlier this year, many parts of North and Far North Queensland were hit hard by flooding. While the Whitsundays was fortunate not to experience widespread damage, it was still a challenging time for our region.

Families here watched the impacts unfold across the north, some of our residents were directly affected, and the uncertainty around weather events weighed heavily on our community.

That is why I welcome the Queensland Government’s recent announcement of the Stronger Homes Grant. This new program, jointly funded by the Australian and Queensland Governments through the Commonwealth State Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements, is about giving homeowners practical support to prepare for the future.

The Stronger Homes Grant offers up to $10,000 for eligible homeowners to make their properties more flood resilient. It is not just about repairing what was damaged, it is about making smart improvements so that when the next flood comes, the impact is reduced. Examples include raising electrical switchboards, moving hot water systems or air conditioning units above flood levels, separating electrical circuits between floors, or replacing wall linings and floor coverings with materials that are easier to clean and dry after water inundation.

This program is open to both insured

The school holidays are about to get seriously fun at the Proserpine Entertainment Centre! From the laugh-out-loud kid’s circus adventure ‘The Farmy Farm’ to bigscreen new release cinema including The Smurfs, Bad Guys 2, Kangaroo and Gabby’s Dollhouse, there’s something for every mini movie buff or theatre lover!

Don’t miss out, check out the What’s

and uninsured homeowners, and funds are paid directly to licensed contractors or insurers once the works are complete. That means homeowners can focus on the improvements without worrying about how to manage the payments.

Applications are open now and will close on 31 December 2025, unless funds are fully allocated before that date. To apply, residents need to show proof of ownership, evidence that their home was inundated in the January and February floods, and a quote from a licensed contractor for the proposed works. Full details, including guidance for homeowners and contractors, are available at www.qld.gov.au/strongerhomesgrant.

As Mayor, I know how important it is for our community to be ready for whatever nature throws at us. Every step we take to strengthen our homes makes the whole Whitsunday region more resilient. I encourage anyone who is eligible to consider applying for this grant, and to share the information with friends, family and neighbours so no one misses out.

This is not just about repairing damage, it is about reducing the impact of the next event, so it is not as hard on our families or our community. By building resilience now, we give ourselves the best chance to recover more quickly and keep the Whitsundays moving forward together.

Editor and founder Deborah Friend has been the driving force behind Whitsunday News since day one. In a touching gesture, Member for Whitsunday Amanda Camm recently surprised Ms Friend with a gift basket and a certificate of appreciation.

“I was very touched and honoured to be recognised by our local MP Amanda Camm for my contribution to local media and the Whitsunday community during the five years of the Whitsunday News’ existence,” said Ms Friend.

Praised for her passionate advocacy for the Whitsundays, Ms Camm said that Whitsunday News captured the heart of our community.

“As she steps back from her formal role in local media, I offer my heartfelt thanks to Deborah Friend for her outstanding contribution to journalism in our region,” said Ms Camm.

“Whether it was covering local council developments, community fundraisers or the stories of everyday people doing extraordinary things, Deborah brought both professionalism and empathy to every piece she produced. She has shown what it means to be a true community journalist; someone who listens, who cares, and who tells our stories with truth and heart.

“With sincere appreciation on behalf of our community, I thank you, Deborah, for your dedication, your voice, and your legacy. The Whitsundays are better for your work, and you will always be part of the story.”

Airlie’s Ferris Wheel A Whirlwind Success

Since rolling into town in June, Skyline Attractions’ Ferris Wheel has quickly become part of the Airlie Beach experience. Standing 35 metres tall, it’s given locals and visitors the chance to take in sweeping 360° views of The Whitsundays, from the sparkling Coral Sea to the bustle of the foreshore and some stunning sunsets.

More than 40,000 people have already hopped on board, and the Wheel has even played host to a bit of romance, with 17 proposals happening high above the sea (that we know of!). With fully wheelchair-accessible gondolas, it’s been an experience everyone could enjoy.

The buzz it’s brought to the town has been fantastic, adding another drawcard to the foreshore and giving families, couples and friends a new way to enjoy Airlie. It’s been a great boost for local businesses too, with plenty of visitors making a day of it. But all good things must come to an end - the Ferris Wheel wraps up in October. So if you haven’t yet had a spin, now’s the time. Whether it’s your first ride or you’re heading back for another look at that view, don’t miss your chance to see Airlie from the top.

Celebrating Academic Success at Proserpine State High School

Proserpine State High School is proud to celebrate the outstanding achievements of its senior students, with many Year 12s receiving early entry offers to universities across the state and beyond. These offers reflect not only the dedication and hard work of the students but also the school’s strong academic programs across all year levels and commitment to delivering a broad, high-quality education that prepares young people for success beyond graduation.

The school’s comprehensive curriculum offers an impressive range of subjects, enabling students to tailor their senior studies to their interests and career goals. This diversity is supported by an extensive senior schooling team, whose expertise ensures that every student receives personalised guidance and support. Pathways include university, vocational education, apprenticeships and traineeships, or direct entry into the workforce.

Principal Don McDermid said the early university offers are a moment of celebration and a testament to the combined ef-

forts of students, staff, and their families.

“We are continually expanding our curriculum to ensure it remains current, giving our students every advantage in pursuing their future pathways,” he said.

The school also takes pride in its rich alumni network. A recent visit by alumni turned international artists and performers, Connor Hawkins and Jackson Wecker, was met with great enthusiasm by students and staff alike. The pair shared their postschool experiences with English and Arts students across multiple year levels.

With one academic term remaining for 2025, Proserpine State High School remains committed to maintaining excellence, engagement, and opportunity, ensuring all students are equipped for success beyond the school gates.

A Centenary Year To Remember At St Catherine’s Catholic College

It has been a term like no other for St Catherine’s Catholic College with students, staff, families, and alumni coming together to mark a century of Catholic education in the region.

The College’s Centenary celebrations were the highlight of the term, drawing hundreds of people back to the school grounds to reminisce, reconnect, and celebrate the community that has flourished over the past 100 years. From moving liturgies to joyful reunions, the celebrations captured the proud history of the College while looking confidently toward the future.

Principal Katherine Nelson said the milestone created memories that would last a lifetime.

“Reaching 100 years is a remarkable achievement for our College and our community,” she said.

“It was inspiring to see so many generations come together to share stories, honour our traditions, and celebrate all that makes St Catherine’s so special. We are incredibly proud of where we’ve come from and very excited for what lies ahead. ”

Alongside the centenary, students and staff also enjoyed a vibrant and busy term filled with opportunities for learning, leadership, and fun.

• Blak Excellence

• Buddies Program

• Prep Adventures

• R U OK? Day

• Farmers Market

Ms Nelson also said the variety of events reflected the holistic education on offer at St Catherine’s Catholic College.

“From creating culture and achievement to supporting wellbeing and encouraging enterprise and creativity – this term has been a shining example of what it means to be part of St Catherine’s,” she said.

“We are proud of our students’ achievements, both big and small, and grateful to our staff, families, and community who make these experiences possible.”

As the College looks forward to the remainder of the year, the memories of this milestone term will remain a special part of its story for years to come.

Multicultural Evening Showcases Diversity And Unity

Avibrant showcase of dance, music and storytelling lit up the stage at Bowen State High School’s inaugural Multicultural Evening, where students, teachers and community members came together to celebrate cultural heritage and unity.

Year 10 student Seinimilli Mau was credited as the driving force behind the evening, with her passion and leadership shining through every detail of the program.

Guest compere Joe Mau, a Year 12 student from Burdekin Christian College, kept the evening flowing with a mix of humour, soulful singing and a strong reminder of the importance of recognising and preserving culture.

Local primary school students and seasonal workers attended and students proudly showcased their cultural heritage through captivating dance, movement and song performances.

The evening’s theme took the audience on a symbolic sea voyage, it opened with a heartfelt Acknowledgement of Country, led by staff member Greg Power alongside students, before Mary Ellen and Kenzie delivered a moving performance honouring the Torres Strait Islands.

The night was hailed as a resounding success, not only for the talent on display but also for the powerful message of pride, identity and unity. Principal Robert Harris expressed his gratitude to all students, families and community members who helped make the celebration possible.

“Their collective efforts have created a lasting impact, inspiring me to continue celebrating our diversity and unity,” he added.

“Students and staff are also saying how great the event was, they have been saying it was great to be able to build a connection.

“The two themes of embracing opportunities and strengthening relationships, they are the two hashtags I keep going on about, they build school culture.”

With the success of the inaugural event, excitement is already building for 2026, when the community will again gather to honour and celebrate the school’s rich cultural diversity.

From there, the journey continued to the Cook Islands, Fiji, Vanuatu, Samoa and Tonga, as students presented a series of captivating dances that highlighted the beauty and traditions of their homelands. Teachers were also invited on stage, dancing alongside their students in a moment that captured the event’s spirit of togetherness.

It could be said that Leen and Bill Wallace from Coral Art on Dent Island fitted easily into the category of alternate life-stylers; individuals who had chosen a lifestyle that was perceived to be alternative and/or individuals who had chosen to drop out of society and live on islands or the coastal fringes of Queensland.

From 1955 – 1961, they were caretakers of the lease owned by Jack O’Hara who, after his death, left it to his family. The house in which Jack and his wife, Margaret, had lived on the island after their retirement from their mainland farm was built in 1939 from timber from the first Hewitt Building in Proserpine’s Main Street. (Mrs O’Hara then rebuilt a new single storey building on that spot. This is where Home Brewitt is now located). Sons, Roy and Ray, took over the house on Dent after their parents died. Over the years, this house was used by various caretakers.

In the early 1950s, Ray O’Hara and his young wife, Margaret, befriended Leen and Bill Wallace who, at the time, were living at Hayman Island and making coral gardens to sell around the islands. Bill,

an ex-US Navy flight engineer, was the collector and the coral, shells and other natural products that he brought back from his diving were decorated by the artistic Leen, a former Sydney showgirl. They had met when Leen was visiting her sister in the Whitsundays and Bill skippered their boat.

After their marriage in Cairns in 1950, they were attracted to the area by its sheltered, white beaches surrounded by crystal clear waters stocked with fish and corals. Ray offered them the use of the house on Dent with the agreement that they would maintain its order. The Wallaces gladly accepted and shortly after, Ray took up a job in Papua New Guinea.

In 1961, the Wallaces applied for and obtained a lease of 1.01 hectares over the area around the house and fronting onto the beach. They purchased the house from the O’Haras and began setting up their Coral Art establishment carving out a niche market for themselves selling painted coral arrangements. Leen and Bill shipped their painted coral around the world and this enterprise was used to promote the Great Barrier Reef through the Queensland Tourist Bureau. Eventu-

ally, they opened up their own Polynesian-style art studio.

Leen and Bill were the makers of the Coral Crown that was presented each year to the Coral Queen from the Great Barrier Reef Coral Festival which was first held in 1958. Today, this crown is on display at the Proserpine Historical Museum after having been donated by Thora Nicolson, formerly of Lindeman Island, one of the Coral Queens.

As the area opened up to cruising yachtsman in the 1960s, passing sailors, such as John Gunn, documented them in his 1966 book “Barrier Reef by Trimaran”.

“A married couple live in an idyllic setting on a cleared area of land behind the beach on this northern tip. With tremendous enterprise they have pioneered a business for themselves. The husband dives for coral pieces, and the wife applies delicate shades of colour to them, to make them look like the living corals … One may not be enthralled by this kind of tourist art, but it is popular. And the life that the two have carved out for themselves on their own island is one that many of us would love to have …”

Leen Wallace passed away at her tropical paradise home on Dent Island October 20 1988 after living a life which she referred to as a lifelong honeymoon.

HHi Everyone,

Dive In And Reeflect! The Reef Home to Many Protected Species

I had a fantastic weekend diving, which sparked my curiosity about fish identification, so I started looking for resources to learn more!

I also thought this would also be a great opportunity to share with readers, so you can better recognise the incredible fish species right here in our backyard. Start by exploring the Whitsunday Conservation Council’s excellent guide on the Great Barrier Reef’s protected species, then read on for tips on how you can begin identifying them yourself.

Happy reading!

How To Identify Fish On The Great Barrier Reef

The Great Barrier Reef is home to more than 1,500 species of fish, making it one of the most diverse marine ecosystems on the planet. While it may seem overwhelming, there are a few simple ways to start identifying the fish you spot while snorkelling or diving.

Look at size and shape. Small, slender fish darting in and out of corals are often damselfish or gobies, while larger, bulky species like groupers and cod move more slowly and are easier to approach. Long, beak-like mouths suggest species such as butterflyfish, while the parrotfish’s strong, beak-shaped jaw is used to crunch coral.

Blue tang surgeonfish, made famous as “Dory,” are another colourful favourite. Observe behaviour and habitat. Some species have distinctive habits that make them easy to identify. Damselfish often hover near coral heads, while schools of surgeonfish graze in open areas. Wrasse are known for their thick lips and can often be seen following divers curiously.

For many visitors, spotting members of the reef’s “Great Eight,” clownfish, turtles, manta rays, Maori wrasse, sharks, giant clams, potato cod and whales – is the ultimate goal. With a little practice, you’ll soon learn to recognise the reef’s most fascinating fish and their unique

The Great Barrier Reef is home to a stunning array of animals, from microscopic plankton to whales weighing more than 100 tonnes. If you are counting, you will find 1625 species of fish, more than a thousand species of hard and soft corals, 3000 plus species of molluscs (shells) and a mere 630 species of echinoderm (starfish, sea urchins). And the list goes on.

These are well known facts. But what you may not know is that the Reef is home to a very large number of Protected Species. These species are of “conservation concern” due to threats such as climate change impacts, overharvesting and fishing, pollution, and habitat loss.

The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority has designated these species as “no-take” species, meaning they cannot be taken from the waters.

For a protected species, the Reef is not only their home, it is their refuge.

Now, you must be wondering, what animals are listed as Protected Species?

Here is the surprisingly, long list.

Corals: all corals are protected (some permitted exceptions)

Molluscs (Shells): helmet shells, triton shells, giant clam

Fish: Seahorses, pipefish, sea dragons, potato cod, Queensland grouper, cods and groupers (Epinephelus) >100cm, barramundi cod, Māori wrasse, freshwater sawfish, whale shark, grey nurse shark, great white shark, manta ray

Reptiles: sea snakes, crocodiles, flatback turtle, green turtle, hawksbill turtle, leatherback turtle, loggerhead turtle, olive ridley turtle

Birds: all birds are protected species

Seals: Southern fur seal

Dugong: the one and only

Cetaceans: whales and dolphins

We all have a responsibility to ensure the well-being of the Protected Species, particularly when visiting the Reef. The simple and most effective rule is to “take only pictures and leave only bubbles”.

Celebrating Brigitte Peel

Creative Connections Whitsundays is proud to celebrate member Brigitte Peel, whose artwork Unity Comes from the Moon & the Sea captivated audiences at the recent Great Barrier Reef Festival Art Exhibition. The piece won both the Bendigo Community Bank People’s Choice Award and the Reef Theme Award, recognition Brigitte says is deeply meaningful.

“I felt privileged that the community voted for my artwork,” Brigitte shared. “It was an honour that the judge also awarded it the theme award. Being acknowledged and recognised for the work you’ve produced really helps to build confidence and create momentum as an artist.”

The awards have already sparked new opportunities, including more interest in her classes, commissions and collaborations.

Rocking Airlie Beach Hotel With 20

Years Of AC/DC Tribute

The unmistakable sound of AC/DC will once again thunder through the Airlie Beach Hotel when long-running tribute act takes the stage for a highenergy afternoon of rock and roll.

The Sydney-based band has been performing its AC/DC tribute show for 20 years, bringing classic anthems to audiences across Australia. For frontman Michael Ward, the love of music is simply “in his DNA.”

“I’m 55 now and I’ve been doing it since I was 12 years old, in various bands and multiple bands at one time too!” he said.

“The rhythm guitarist in the band is the same - we’ve both grown up with a love of music. It’s kind of what we do.”

sion for performing has never dimmed.

The show has become a fan favourite at the Airlie Beach Hotel, where the group has performed about half a dozen times in recent years. Michael said the venue’s lively atmosphere makes it one of their top stops.

“It’s fantastic, it’s one of our favourite venues,” he said.

“It always attracts a great audience, and with the afternoon shows, there is a really good vibe and everyone’s in high spirits.”

Crowds can expect two-and-a-half hours of straight-up rock’n’roll, featuring all the AC/DC classics, including Highway to Hell, Back in Black, It’s a Long Way to the Top and High Voltage.

“We try and get this show as close to what

cert,” Michael said.

“From the very start, we’re into it. We’re just banging them out!”

Audience participation is all part of the fun, with band members often joining the crowd mid-song. “We get our guitarist and singer out there, and even get the audience to sing along to a couple of songs,” Michael said.

After two decades of delivering AC/DC’s timeless hits, Michael said the joy comes from the crowd’s reaction. “Every show we do, we seem to have a full audience, and we always have a great time.”

The AC/DC tribute show returns to the Airlie Beach Hotel this weekend, promising another electrifying performance

The Whitsunday Writers FestivalLove Letter To Queensland

On Friday evening the Whitsunday Sailing Club hosted the Whitsundays Writers Festival annual event and competition, Love Letter to Queensland.

The evening began with Whitsunday Regional Council Mayor opening the event and announcing the Love Letter to Queensland Community writing competition.

The Adult Section prize was awarded to Delila Bevan Zavadsky of Brinsmead, near Cairns, for her work title ‘Confessions to Queensland’. She received a two-night ocean view stay with transfers at Daydream Island, valued at $1,000.

In the Under 12 category, Taleah Atkins of Edens Landing took out the top prize for her writing titled ‘3 Month Caravan Trip’, she won a Street Library from Street Library Australia along with a starter book pack from Kitten Vintage Mackay, valued at $350.

Also on the night, the prestigious Whitsundays Literary Heart Awards, Gloria Burley Unpublished Manuscript Award

was announced by Jess Begun.

First prize winner was Paul Garrety for his work ‘Before Summer Comes’, he won $2500 cash prize sponsored by Roderick Centre for Australian Literature and Creative Writing at James Cook University.

Jess Begun read out the beginning of the book, which left audience members on the edge of their seat.

President of the Whitsundays Writers Festival Karen Jacobsen said experiences like these are highly important and should not be forgotten.

“I would like to say that sometimes we may forget the power of a group of people coming together and sharing an experience, like leading authors reading their work and sharing about their creative process,” she said.

“There were many moments where you could hear a pin drop in the room, and some of our speakers were moved to tears, as were the audience members.

“This is one of the signs that we had a really special and effective event.”

All three speakers grabbed the attention of everybody in the room, Hedley Thomas discussed his true crime journalism, focusing on unsolved murders of Australian women. He discussed his podcast titled ‘The Teacher’s Pet,’ where Chris Dawson was investigated for the murder of his wife in 1983. His podcast lead to Dawson’s conviction after 40 years.

Matthew Condon discussed his extensive work on a trilogy of books about Commissioner Terry Lewis. Initially, Condon aimed to write a single book but expanded it to a trilogy as the scope of the project grew.

Steve MinOn discussed his latest novel which explores migrant stories and family dynamics through a fictional narrative. The novel, set in North Queensland,

features a protagonist who is a dead man walking from Brisbane to Innisfail, reflecting on his life and family history. All authors added something unique to the talking panel and audience members were left hungry for more.

Whitsunday Sea Eagles Celebrate 2025 AFL Season

Saturday afternoon saw the Whitsunday Sea Eagles hold their 2025 Presentation Day, celebrating another exciting year on the field. In 2025, all five Sea Eagles teams competed in Elimination Finals, narrowly missing out on progressing further after some thrilling matches.

Individual accolades were a highlight, with Jake Turner (Senior Men) and Steph Griffiths (Senior Women) taking out Best & Fairest medals at the AFLQ Mackay League Awards. Aidan Allen-Fancke also earned Senior Men’s runner-up, and multiple players were recognised in the AFLQ Mackay Senior Teams of the Year.

At club level, Aidan Allen-Fancke added the Sea Eagles Senior Men Best & Fairest to his impressive record, with runner-up Eden Wishart enjoying a standout season through the midfield. Steph Griffiths backed up her league award with the Sea Eagles Senior Women Best & Fairest and also claimed the Leading Goalkicker title. Runner-up Nikki Kelly, last year’s Best & Fairest, had another strong season.

In the Under 17.5s, Blake Tissington earned the Sea Eagles Best & Fairest while also finishing runner-up in the AFLQ Mackay League Awards. Liam Steen was runner-up at club level, and Zavier Goswell claimed Leading

Goalkicker.

Under 15.5s saw Lochlan Jeffries secure Best & Fairest for the second consecutive year, demonstrating class on and off the field. Runner-up Oliver Ludbrook had a strong season, while Fletcher Shumski received the Cody Gibbs Perpetual Club Award for embodying the values of being selfless, courageous, respectful, and resilient.

The Under 13.5s had another fun season, with Rory Rogan-Hamilton narrowly claiming Best & Fairest ahead of Harry Thomas, who took runner-up. Jaylah Reddaway impressed in this age group, earning Leading Goalkicker.

Sea Eagles Volunteer of the Year was a tie between Chloe Markham, for her tireless gameday support, and Andrew Ludbrook, who contributed across multiple roles throughout the year.

The Sea Eagles would like to thank their sponsors and the community for supporting AFL in the Whitsundays. The club looks forward to the AFL Mackay Preseason Carnival in March 2026, following summer programs and preseason training in the new year.

Cleansweep For The Pitbulls

The weather was less than ideal on Sunday, 14 September 2025, for the second round of the Mackay Whitsunday Junior Cricket competition.

The blustery conditions didn’t rattle the Under 12 Pitbulls as they faced North Mackay Devils. Skipper L. Aitken won the bat flip and sent the Devils in. The Pitbulls’ bowlers were on target, with R. Clarke shattering the stumps for the first breakthrough. F. Holscher grabbed two (including a sharp caught-and-bowled), while L. Aitken and N. Aitken took four between them. N. Aitken was on fire with two in two, thanks to a slick catch from H. Valmadre. Norths were held to 7-85.

In reply, Proserpine lost N. Aitken early to a run out, but that was the Devils’ only joy. From there the runs flowed, with B. Whitty smashing his maiden half-century (67* off 40) and R. Clarke steady on 35*. With contributions from H. Valmadre (19), P. Regan (12*) and the Holscher brothers, the Pit-

bulls cruised to 2-202. Whitty was named player of the match for the second week running, as the Pitties went top of the table after two rounds.

The Under 14s faced Sarina Spartans in their first turf-pitch game of the season at Harrup Park. Sent in to bat, the Pitties delivered through M. Aitken with his maiden half-century (60 off 53, retired) and K. Whitty’s patient 26* (off 49).

Defending 142, the bowlers struck early. A. Farley was sharp behind the stumps (one catch and a run out), while L. Appleton added 1-7 off 3 overs and a catch. S. Green chipped in with 2-33. Spartans reached 6-99 before rain ended play, with the Duckworth–Lewis method confirming the Pitbulls as winners.

Conditions improved for the Under 15s clash with Walkerston Roosters. Electing to bowl, the Pitties struck quickly, led by A. Valmadre (3-3 off 3 and a run out) and

L. Smith (2-16). Walkerston were dismissed for 63.

In reply, E. Baker (17 off 21) and W. Marshall (32 off 54) put on a steady start, while M. Aitken (20 off 16) and B. Hope (19 off 14) kept the scoreboard ticking. The Pitbulls passed the total comfortably with 135 runs, silencing the Roosters’ crow.

The Under 17s enjoyed homeground advantage against Magpies White. Choosing to bat, J. Valmadre cleared the boundary regularly on his way to 55 (off 51), while O. Seamer added a composed 30* (off 37).

Set 148 to win, the Magpies faltered against sharp bowling and fielding. K. McLoughlin starred with 2-7 off 4 and three catches, while J. Lawn claimed 1-3 off 2 and a run out. Only one Magpies batter reached double figures as they were bowled out for 71, giving the Pitbulls their first win of the season.

Outrigger Whitsunday Crews Battle Fierce Conditions at Mission Beach Regatta

Mission Beach, QLD — Twelve determined paddlers from Outrigger Whitsunday put their strength and skills to the test last weekend, competing in the Mission Beach Outrigger Canoe Regatta under challenging conditions.

Saturday saw crews racing in sprint and mid-distance events, with teams well-prepared for the demanding 9.5 km courses. However, Sunday’s 24 km iron event proved the ultimate test, as strong winds and a heavy surf break pushed crews to their limits.

Outrigger Whitsunday fielded two crews across the weekend. In the opening race, the Platinum Mixed crew—led by veteran steerer Peter Chamberlain—took to the water. The only team in their division, their final time was a clear reflection of just how punishing the sea state was.

The Master Mixed crew also delivered a solid performance in a competitive field, crossing the line in sixth place. Among the paddlers was first-time competitor Tama

DARTS

Dennison, making a strong debut under extremely tough conditions.

Weather conditions for Sunday had worsened, seeing only 1 of the 2 crews compete in the Vaka Tua Motu 24km event. The very experienced crew were forced to return to shore prior to race start to re-rig their canoe due to the pounding surf, before heading back out to officially start the race—a true testament to the team’s resilience and determination.

Junior paddler Jai Dennison had a standout weekend, competing in Sundays’ 14 km Vaka Tua Potu OC1 event. He placed 9th overall out of 15 paddlers and claimed first place in his age division—an extraordinary achievement for the rising talent.

The weekend highlighted the spirit, strength, and perseverance of all paddlers involved, with Outrigger Whitsunday showing exceptional determination and teamwork in one of the most challenging regattas of the season.

THE PREMIER LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP PRELIMINARY FINALS

With only two weeks remaining in this season’s Premier League Championship campaign, all eyes turned to the four remaining players contesting the preliminary finals.

In the first matchup, Kam Reason had the chance to book his place in next week’s grand final, but to do so he needed to overcome this season’s league winner, Jamie Maher.

It was a tense affair, with Jamie holding a narrow 3–2 lead at the first break. He extended that margin to 6–2 after the interval, but Kam fought back strongly to cut the deficit to 6–4 by the second break. Kam then claimed the opening leg of the third and final session to trail just 6–5, but Jamie wrestled back control to seal the match 9–5 in a hard-fought contest.

The second preliminary final saw current and defending Premier League Champion Joe Wilson face rising star Reef Peel. Joe

Cannons Begin Long Course Season in Townsville

battled bravely, but Reef proved too strong, taking command early and wrapping up the match within the first two intervals for a commanding 9–2 victory.

Next week marks the conclusion of our sixth season, and with these results confirmed, there will once again be a new name engraved on the Premier League trophy.

Will it be league winner Jamie Maher, contesting his second grand final next Sunday at Mulligans Sports Bar, or will Reef follow in his father’s footsteps—who won the inaugural championship in 2019—and become the second Peel to have his name etched on the cup?

A big thank you to our valued sponsors: Mika Airlie, Whitsunday Tattooing Airlie Beach, Master Butchers Whitsunday, Dyson Automotive and Shirtfront Solutions.

The Cannonvale Cannons kicked off their long course season over the weekend, with 18 swimmers competing at the 2025 Townsville Tourist Benchmark Transition Meet at the Tobruk Pool. This event marked the start of the long course season for our senior swimmers, who are now focused on achieving their goals at the Queensland Long Course Championships in Brisbane from December 13–19.

Special congratulations go to the five senior swimmers who achieved qualifying times over the weekend, putting them on track for Brisbane. Top performers based on personal bests included Tyler and Mackenzie Bennett, Zane Clayworth, Harris Delac, Roxanne Groom, Ruby Harland, Lucas Korosec, Eric and Leo Mulliss, Celeste Orenshaw, and Andie Reynolds. Outstanding efforts came from Thomas Ganter, Koa Harland, and Faithlyn Trotter, who achieved personal bests in every event

they entered – an impressive feat so early in the season. Lucas Korosec was a standout, securing gold in all nine of his events, setting a strong tone for the months ahead. Back on home ground, swimmer upgrades were celebrated for River Shields, Eric Mulliss, Jax Eaves, and Eloise Chegwidden. The Coaches Award this week went to Ruby Harland for her exceptional 100m Freestyle, finishing in 1:08.81 and securing her place in the highly regarded “70s Club.”

Another highlight came from Jax Clayworth, who set his first club record as a 12-year-old in the 50m Butterfly with a time of 31.59 seconds, surpassing Zach Trefz’s previous record. With such a strong start, Jax is set to make a mark in the months ahead.

It was a weekend of determination, teamwork, and milestones for the Cannons, both in Townsville and at home.

The days are getting longer and warmer—and so is the standard of bowls at our club.

On Tuesday, 27 players took to the greens. Despite battling pain while awaiting surgery, Elaine Kippen gave it her best before being replaced by organiser Regina Aquilina. The day’s top team was skippered by Gary Scott from Hideaway Bay, with left-hander Greg Fennell and Peter Jordan from Hallshead Bowling and Recreation Club, Mandurah WA.

Wednesday afternoon’s social bowls ended in a tie, but on countback the winners were Merve Stewart’s team with Denise at second and promising newcomer Glen O’Brien leading strongly.

That night, 60 bowlers enjoyed Business House Bowls under the lights, expertly run by Bob and Yvonne Spees. A new competition begins after the school holidays—teams, singles or pairs are welcome to join.

In Mackay, the Pratt Cup saw John Trembath, Arthur McManus, John Askew, John Fielding, Denis Donnadelli and Peter Barrett beat St Helens and collect points against Mackay, though Souths Suburban proved too strong.

At Newcastle’s Deaf Games, Andrew (Noel) Crosbie and Russell Jackson represented the club superbly, with Russell earning Australian team selection for the 2027 Deaf World Games—a proud moment for all.

Sunday Social Bowls drew 18 players, with Fiona Greener rolling the dice for the prize. A first-time skip, supported by Eric and Maureen Barnard, produced the day’s best result with a 13-shot win.

You can pay your water notice at any Australia Post Office, by BPAY, or by phone.

RATES CONCESSIONS

Are you an owner occupier?

Council is seeking information from the owners of residential properties, which is their principal place of residence and is also single residential use, within the Whitsunday area, in order to categorise properties correctly for the benefit of a lower differential general rate.

Eligible parties are asked to complete the form and return it to Council by the discount date of the current rating period, as stated on your rates notice. If you are already receiving the owner occupier benefit, you do not need to reapply.

Pensioner Remission on Rates

Persons in receipt of a pension, who qualify in accordance with Council’s Policy and/or the State Government’s Pensioner Rate Subsidy Scheme, are hereby requested to make application for the first half of the 2025/2026 year.

Pensioners who received the maximum benefits in the 2024/2025 year and whose situation has not altered need not submit a written application. Confirmation of your eligibility will be sought from the Department of Communities and Department of Veteran Affairs.
