Hi Everyone, I’ve attended many wonderful events this year, but Saturday night was the first time we’ve had the privilege of hosting our own here in the Whitsundays.

The Whitsunday Wealth Enchanted Garden Event was an ambitious project spearheaded by our Mackay Sales Manager Jessica Clark, who brought together clients, business associates, and community members to raise funds for seven regional charities.

Before long, our entire team was involved in bringing the event to life, and a big thank you also goes to our Whitsunday Sales Manager Trish Jandt for working closely alongside Jess on sponsorships, auction items, and the many behind-thescenes details that ensured the night’s success.

In the weeks leading up to the event, it was a true flurry of collaboration and creativity. Our talented graphic designers produced stunning event booklets, auction forms, presentation videos, and more — and a special thank you to Danny from Graphic House for generously contributing toward some of the printing costs.

Our Office Coordinator Trisha Coetzee managed the complex transport logistics, including bus timetables, and the whole team rallied on Friday afternoon to final-

ise every last detail.

On the night, each team member stepped up as hosts and fundraisers, and it truly warmed my heart to see everyone working together so seamlessly to make our very first event such a success. Every staff member generously gave up their Saturday night to volunteer, and their collective effort played a vital role in helping raise funds for the seven regional charities.

Making the evening even more special, Life Publishing Group owner Bec Douthwaite flew in from the UK to attend, sharing in what was a magical moment for our entire team.

A heartfelt thank you also to Federal Member for Dawson Andrew Willcox, Whitsunday Mayor Ry Collins, Burdekin Mayor Pierina Dalle Cort, and Whitsunday Councillor Gary Simpson for joining us on the night.

It’s incredible to think that more than $50,000 was raised, which will be shared equally between our seven selected region-

al charities. I look forward to announcing the final total in next week’s paper.

We’re already planning next year’s event, so if you’d like to be involved as a sponsor or nominate as a beneficiary, please reach out to our office — we’d love to hear from you.

Thank you again to everyone who helped make this inaugural event such a beautiful success. It was truly a night where community, generosity, and celebration bloomed together.

Event Raises Over $50K for Regional Charities

L

Continued from cover.

ife Publishing Group hosted its inaugural charity fundraiser — the Whitsunday Wealth Enchanted Garden Event — on Saturday evening at Elementa, marking a spectacular debut on the region’s social calendar.

As the magical Whitsunday sunset faded, the venue transformed into a twinkling wonderland, with delicately lit floral displays creating the feeling of being immersed in an enthralling natural paradise.

Guests were treated to a five-hour inclusive drinks package, flowing bubbles, and a selection of delicious roaming canapés served throughout the evening.

Beyond the glamour, the night carried heartfelt purpose, supporting seven regional charities. Guests had the chance to purchase an Enchanted Key, bid on 30 silent auction items, and participate in a lively Live Auction expertly hosted by Brad Sobott of Taylors Property Specialists.

Entertainment was on point, with Sunshine Coast sensation Mo Swagger captivating the crowd and ending the night with a packed dancefloor.

With final tallies still being confirmed, the event has already raised over $50,000, with proceeds set to make a meaningful impact across regional causes.

Reclaim The Night March Held In Airlie Beach

Our Voice, Our Home: Mt Challenger Wind Farm

T

he Whitsundays is built on community - people who care deeply about where we live and the future we’re shaping together.

When something touches our lifestyle, our environment, or our region’s identity, our community speaks up - thoughtfully, respectfully, and with heart.

Over recent weeks, many locals have reached out to share their thoughts on the proposed Mt Challenger Wind Farm near Proserpine.

From farmers and families to small-business owners, your voices have been strong and consistent - our community wants transparency, honesty, and genuine consultation.

This isn’t just about one project - it’s also about how decisions are made for our region.

I’ve listened, and I’ve acted. I’ve spoken directly with the project proponents to raise your concerns and requested detailed information about the proposal and how they intend to engage with our community moving forward.

The team at Whitsunday Counselling and Support

A

round 50 people in the community took part in the global Reclaim the Night movement last Saturday.

Hosted by Whitsunday Counselling and Support this first-ever local march to raise awareness about sexual violence and the right for everyone to feel safe at night.

Renewable energy will play an important role in Queensland’s future - but it must be pursued with care, consideration, and respect for the people and landscapes it touches.

The Crisafulli Government has strong guidelines in place for all wind-farm proposals, and I will continue to put our community first, keeping you informed every step of the way.

Whitsunday Police Station attended the march. Photos supplied

The walk began at Coral Sea Marina and ended at the Airlie Beach foreshore stage, where participants gathered to share food and conversation.

Manager of Whitsunday Counselling and Support Sharon Parker said the inaugural turnout of around 50 people was encouraging. “ It went really well, and we’re hoping to

grow it each year,” she said.

on their freedom of movement after dark. The movement challenges the notion that women should modify their behaviour to stay safe, instead calling for accountability from perpetrators and a cultural shift towards shared community responsibility.

Reclaim the Night is an international campaign that began in the UK during the 1970s as a protest against violence towards women and restrictions placed

Sharon said she hopes the Reclaim the Night walk will become an annual event in the Whitsundays. “It’s a message that deserves to keep growing,” she said.

I encourage everyone to have your say. Visit the sites below to share your thoughts and learn more. Together, we can ensure the voices of The Whitsundays are heard loud and clear.

Plans Lodged

for $29.8 Million Cannonvale Makes A Big SPLASH Community Hub

A

irlie Beach’s first-ever Big Freeze proved a huge success, raising around $13,000 for FightMND over the weekend.

Event organiser and local FightMND representative Katrina Duggan said the day exceeded expectations, drawing strong community support and plenty of fun.

“It was an absolutely fantastic day, and we’ve had such great feedback,” she said.

About $13,000 was raised on the day through merchandise sales, raffle tickets, donations, and a sausage sizzle, with local businesses donating 42 raffle prizes to help

C

annonvale is one step closer to gaining a new community heart, with plans now lodged for the highly anticipated Cannonvale Community Hub, a $29.8 million project supported by the Australian Government’s Growing Regions Program.

The major development will deliver a modern library, customer service centre and a range of flexible community meeting spaces, all set within landscaped parkland. Together, these facilities will anchor Galbraith Park as the social and civic green heart of Cannonvale.

A Whitsunday Regional Council spokesperson says the project forms a key part of its long-term planning for the region’s growth, providing a central civic space that supports Cannonvale’s expanding coastal population. Over the past decade, strong population growth across Cannonvale and Cannon Valley has driven demand for community facilities in a central, mixeduse environment combining business, recreation and civic life.

The Hub will be located on the southern boundary of Galbraith Park. The site was chosen to avoid impacts on revegetation areas and flood zones while acting as the central civic anchor for Cannonvale’s

evolving CBD and future town centre.

Once open, the Hub will replace Council’s existing Library and Customer Service Centre in Whitsunday Plaza, offering a larger, purpose-built facility with enhanced technology and programming.

It’s designed to complement not duplicate services already provided by other organisations such as the Whitsunday Neighbourhood Centre, ensuring a balanced offering across the region’s community network.

Construction timing is being finalised through the design and tender process.

Based on the current delivery schedule, Council expects to advertise tenders in early 2026, with clearer timeframes to be shared once a contractor is appointed.

Council is also developing a Galbraith Park Masterplan to ensure the new facilities integrate seamlessly into their surroundings and support long-term growth.

Public consultation will open soon, with residents able to have their say through the Your Say Whitsunday online engagement portal, community information stalls, and at customer service centres.

Further details on how to get involved will be announced in the coming weeks.

boost the total.

The event was part of the national FightMND campaign, which raises awareness and funds for research into Motor Neurone Disease.

“It was incredible to see how many people and businesses got behind it,” Katrina said.

“We’re going to be back bigger and better next year.”

Next year’s Big Freeze Airlie is set for October 24, 2026, with organisers hoping for an even larger turnout.

Be Prepared This Storm Season Mayor Collins Appointed To 2032 Olympics Advisory Group

January’s rainfall saw floodwaters cut across the highway near Proserpine (Photo Credit: Mayor Ry Collins)

W

ith storm season now upon us (November to April), residents are urged to stay alert and prepare for cyclones and severe storms, which can bring destructive winds over 200km/h, heavy rain, flooding, lightning, hail, and storm surges.

Preparation is key. Secure outdoor furniture, wheelie bins, and loose items that could become dangerous in high winds.

If you have a pool, submerge plastic furniture to prevent it flying around. Park vehicles under shelter, unplug electrical appliances, and ensure your emergency kit includes a battery-powered radio, clean water, and essential supplies.

Australia Day Awards

If a cyclone warning is issued, stay tuned to local updates, contact family and neighbours, and follow all instructions from authorities. Those living in storm tide evacuation zones should plan to stay with

friends or family on higher ground. Cyclone shelters are available only as a last resort, with your local council announcing openings via ABC Radio and other media.

If you remain at home during a storm, shelter well clear of windows and doors, and if the structure begins to give way, take cover in the strongest part of your house, such as a hallway or internal room.

After the storm passes, remain cautious— fallen trees, powerlines, and floodwaters pose serious risks. Boil water until declared safe, and avoid sightseeing or driving through affected areas.

For more information on emergency kits, evacuation plans, and weather warnings, visit your local council’s website, www. getready.qld.gov.au/getting-ready/protect-your-home or www.qld.gov.au/emergency/dealing-disasters/disaster-types/ cyclone-severe-storm.

ig news for the Whitsundays, Mayor Ry Collins has been appointed to the Host Mayors Advisory Group for the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

The advisory group plays a key role in shaping how the Games will benefit communities across Queensland, ensuring regional areas have a voice in planning and legacy outcomes. With the Whitsundays proudly set to host the Olympic sailing events, Mayor Collins’ appointment ensures the region is well represented as preparations for the world’s biggest sporting event continue to build momentum.

Mayor Collins said he was honoured to take on the role and to work alongside other Queensland mayors to help deliver meaningful, long-term benefits for communities outside the southeast corner.

“It was a great week of collaboration, innovation and inspiration, from shaping

Olympic opportunities for the Whitsundays to championing local government issues that matter most to our communities,” Mayor Collins said.

Mayor Collins’ appointment was announced while he was on the Gold Coast attending the Annual Local Government Association of Queensland (LGAQ) State Conference, alongside CEO Warren Bunker and Councillors Jan Clifford, Clay Bauman and John Finlay.

The conference provided an opportunity for councils across Queensland to debate key issues, share ideas, and strengthen local government collaboration across the state.

Mayor Collins said the event reinforced the importance of teamwork and innovation as councils prepare for the opportunities the Brisbane 2032 Games will bring to regions like the Whitsundays.

State High School recorded a strong year of improvement, focusing on strengthening academic support, behaviour expectations, and social-emotional learning to boost student outcomes.

In 2025, overall attendance remained above the regional benchmark of 85%, with First Nations students exceeding state targets. Academic performance across the junior years was also above expectations, with more than half of students in Years 7 to 9 earning A or B grades in English and Mathematics. Over 90% of junior students

achieved a C or higher in Mathematics, and 87% did so in English.

Senior students are continuing that success, with more than 85% achieving a C or higher in core subjects—again outperforming state averages. Among Year 12s, over 98% are on track to receive a Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE), Queensland Certificate of Individual Achievement (QCIA), or vocational qualification.

Jetstar Upgrade Flies Into Whitsunday Coast Airport

W

hitsunday Coast Airport (WCA) continues to soar as Australia’s fastest-growing regional airport, with Jetstar introducing its new Airbus A321 aircraft on selected routes.

T

he Proserpine PCYC was buzzing with activity over the weekend as more than 600 people turned out for this year’s Haunted House event.

The upgraded aircraft started last Sunday and offers 230 seats, up from 186, and, combined with ten additional weekly services, will deliver a 30 per cent boost in total capacity for the Whitsundays. It creates an extra 117,000 seats annually, creating more opportunities for visitors to experience the region and supporting the growth of one of Australia’s fastest-growing tourism destinations.

Crowds lined up from start to finish to experience the spooky attraction, which featured a redesigned layout allowing visitors to queue in air-conditioned comfort.

Sergeant Billy Li from PCYC Whitsunday emphasized how great the event went, and can’t wait for next year.

Alongside the Haunted House, an escape room run by St Catherine’s Catholic College students proved equally popular, with every session booked out. The students took part through the Duke of Edinburgh program, raising funds for their upcoming Adventurous Journey, while the event also supported PCYC programs including gymnastics.

PCYC’s gymnastics program continues to grow, running five days a week and catering to everyone from toddlers in Kindy Gym through to teenagers.

Mayor Ry Collins said the investment reflects Jetstar’s strong confidence in the Whitsundays as a leading tourism and lifestyle destination.

“This is a fantastic vote of confidence in our region and a clear sign that demand for Whitsunday travel continues to grow,” Mayor Collins said.

The Haunted House provided a fun and safe Halloween activity for local families, while also helping to raise funds for youth programs across the community.

“More seats mean more visitors, more opportunities for local businesses, and more reasons for Australians to choose the Whitsundays as their next getaway.”

Council’s Director of Commercial Businesses, Craig Turner, said the upgrade highlights both the strength of WCA’s core markets and the airport’s strategic focus

Jetstar’s new Airbus A321 aircraft started operations at the Whitsunday Coast Airport last Sunday. Stock image

on sustainable expansion.

“Jetstar’s decision to deploy the A321s to the Whitsundays demonstrates their longterm commitment to our destination,” he said.

“While the Whitsundays–Adelaide service will wind down early next year as part of Jetstar’s wider network optimisation, this capacity boost across Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne more than offsets that change.”

Mr Turner added that discussions are already underway with airlines for potential new domestic routes, with announcements expected in 2026.

With passenger numbers continuing to climb, the WCA now offers over half a million low-fare seats annually and is cementing its reputation as Australia’s fastest-growing regional airport by capacity.

Productivity Meets Paradise At Beachfront Collaborative

Looking Ahead to 2032

I

t has been an exciting few weeks for our region, and I am honoured to represent the Whitsundays on the Host Mayors Advisory Group for the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

With the Whitsundays confirmed as the host for Olympic sailing, this appointment gives our community a seat at the table as Queensland prepares to welcome the world. It means we can help shape the planning and delivery of an event that will bring long-term benefits for regional Queensland, not just for the southeast corner.

The Advisory Group is chaired by Brisbane Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner and includes Mayors from across the state who will work together to make sure the Games deliver real value for our communities. It is about more than sport. It is about building stronger regional connections, creating economic opportunities, and leaving a legacy that will inspire future generations.

For the Whitsundays, the 2032 Games are a once-in-a-lifetime chance to showcase our region on the global stage. We will see investment in transport, tourism and community infrastructure, but just as importantly, it

will highlight our incredible natural setting and the spirit of the people who live here.

Last week I also joined Councillors Jan Clifford, Clay Bauman and John Finlay, along with our CEO Warren Bunker, at the annual Local Government Association of Queensland Conference on the Gold Coast. It is always a valuable opportunity for councils to come together, share ideas and tackle the issues that affect us all.

We took part in discussions on service delivery, housing, technology, and the challenges of cost shifting from other levels of government. Councils also debated and voted on more than one hundred motions aimed at improving how we serve our communities.

Events like this remind me how much energy and innovation exists within local government. It is often said we are the level of government closest to the community, and that is true. Every decision we make has a direct impact on the people who live, work and raise families in our Whitsundays.

I left the conference confident that, together, we are helping to shape a bright future for the Whitsundays and for regional Queensland.

n 2024, Beachfront Collaborative officially launched as the Whitsundays’ answer to flexible, high-quality workspaces. The idea was sparked by the team at PD Law, who often use the space themselves. Today, it offers a calm, professional environment designed for the wider community.

The coworking hub offers everything from hot desks and a WiFi lounge to a soundproof pod for private calls and a sophisticated boardroom perfect for training or presentations – all available to book by the hour, seven days a week.

The motivation was clear: locals, business travellers, and corporates needed an alternative to cafés, hotel lobbies, or makeshift home offices. Beachfront Collaborative is that solution, bringing professionalism and productivity together in a relaxed, lifestyle-driven setting.

Remote work culture, the rise of digital nomads, and the growing demand for flexible ‘on-the-go’ professional spaces are shaping the way we work — and industry trends are firmly on their side. To meet these needs, Beachfront Collaborative offers a seamless online booking system, open 6am–9pm daily, with no membership required, a rare innovation in regional Queensland.

Introducing coworking to the Whitsundays came with its own challenges. Often seen as something tied to big-city start-up hubs, the team shaped it to reflect calm Whitsunday vibes — professional yet relaxed. Clear signage, a two-minute booking process, and partnerships with local favourites like Fat Frog Café have made it simple and inviting for the community.

ifty years ago, on Monday, November 3 1975, just after 3 pm, word raced through the town that the ninety foot, 3000 ton sugar bin at the Proserpine Sugar Mill (PSM) had collapsed. This shocking news was followed quickly by a wave of relief when residents learned that no one was injured in this disaster. By nightfall, thousands of sightseers, most armed with cameras, had inspected the damage. The disaster attracted media attention nationwide.

The sugar bin was the largest sugar storage container in the Australian industry apart from bulk terminals and represented an important step forward for the mill which was the most isolated of all mills in terms of proximity to bulk terminals.

Designed and constructed by NQEA, it was commissioned for use at the start of the 1975 crushing, but until that fateful day had not been filled to anywhere near its capacity.

To make up for previous lost crushing time, the mill had continued through the weekend and by Monday morning the bin was nearing capacity for the first

time. After lunch, Queensland Government Railway (QGR) sugar wagons were shunted into the rail sidings under the bin. Loading had just commenced when some startling noises were heard from the structure. Workmen loading sugar from the huge hopper received a warning when bolts began to fly apart like pistol shots. They immediately fled from the site and the area was evacuated as the gigantic bin began to buckle and crumple downwards. It was estimated that from the first snapping of the bolts and buckling, ten minutes elapsed before the collapse was complete. Fortunately, the bin fell towards the river otherwise it would have been extremely difficult to construct the temporary facilities which allowed crushing to recommence the very next day.

What followed was a marathon effort by all. Within an hour, salvage work had commenced. Mill employees worked throughout the night construct facilities to load sugar to rail - some being on duty for more than 24 hours. The tramway department laid rails around the collapse to rejoin the existing siding. Fitters, boil-

ermakers, electricians, and trades assistants built a ramp and small hopper to load the rail wagons and diverted and constructed belt conveyors and bunkers within the mill.

15 Venues And 3 Days Of Music

T

he Airlie Beach Festival of Music is once again proving why it’s known as “The Ultimate Music Holiday,” not just for its epic lineup, but for its deep roots and support within the Whitsundays community. As the town transforms into one giant stage, the festival is celebrating a year of unprecedented success.

This year, the festival has smashed all previous ticket sales and will deliver its biggest lineup yet. This success is directly tied to the festival’s flexible ticketing, opening up more ways for people to enjoy the music across 15 different local venues—from the Main Tent at the Whitsunday Sailing Club to vibrant main street pubs. This town-wide takeover ensures that local businesses, from restaurants to accommodation partners, feel the benefit of every single ticket sold.

Festival Founder and Director, Gavin But-

lin, expressed his pride in the community spirit.

“It’s truly incredible. This festival started as an idea, and now it’s a destination event, drawing in thousands to experience the heart of live music, Airlie Beach.”

“Seeing the venues packed, the local businesses thriving, and our residents embracing the crowds is what makes all the hard work worthwhile. The support from our local community and partners is the foundation of our success and ensures that this ‘music holiday’ remains sustainable and special for years to come,” Mr Butlin added.

With headliners like Pete Murray, Jessica Mauboy, and The Screaming Jets rocking the stages, the Airlie Beach Festival of Music is defying the odds, where world-class music meets the world’s most beautiful backyard.

Day-by-Day Guide To The Epic Airlie Beach Lineup

T

he Airlie Beach Festival of Music is set to be the biggest and most diverse lineup yet. With three full days (plus a welcome party and after party) of world-class acts across 15 iconic venues, the Whitsundays are preparing for a spectacular town-wide music takeover.

From rock legends and chart-topping pop stars to Australia’s finest blues and roots artists, the stage is set for an unforgettable journey of sound.

Kick-Off and Friday Rock Royalty The party begins on Thursday night at the Magnums Welcome Party, promising a high-energy start with acts like TRILLA, Lucy Gallant, and Viva Band setting the tropical tone late into the night.

Friday at the Main Tent is dedicated to celebrating talent, both emerging and es-

tablished. The afternoon kicks off with the intense competition of the Passport to Airlie Finalists, culminating with the triumphant return of 2024 winner Tom Neilson. The night escalates rapidly into legendary status with the smooth, sundrenched sounds of Pete Murray changing seamlessly into the raw, powerful anthems of Australian rock icons, The Screaming Jets, guaranteed to close the first major day with a bang at 10:00pm.

Saturday: Australian Rock & Pop Powerhouses Saturday is a masterclass in diverse Australian music royalty. The afternoon begins with the grooves of The Natural Culture, perfectly setting the scene for an evening of legendary performers. At 6:00pm, the stage welcomes the unique acoustic mas-

tery of Tex Perkins and Matt Walker.

The tempo elevates significantly when Bachelor Girl takes the stage at 7:30pm to deliver their catalogue of classic hits. The energy continues to build as the incomparable Diesel straps on his guitar at 8:45pm, proving why he remains one of the country’s most respected rock musicians. Capping off the night at 10:00pm are the beloved Choirboys, ensuring the Main Tent is shaking until close.

Sunday & Monday Grand Finale The festival closes on a high on Sunday with a sensational showcase of blues, country, and pop excellence. The afternoon begins with the heartfelt rock of the Dave Flower Band and the powerful country punch of Jayne Denham. Blues aficionados will be treated to the incredible gui-

tar work of Lloyd Spiegel at 4:15pm before the event hits its peak.

The Sunday Main Tent headliners are an unmissable double feature: the electrifying energy and vocal brilliance of Jessica Mauboy at 5:30pm, followed by the legendary rhythm and blues collective, The Black Sorrows, closing out the Main Tent at 7:00pm.

But the music doesn’t stop there. The final goodbye is the Monday After Party at Northerlies, where you can unwind to the sounds of Tiffany Grace, Bear Brewer, James Bennett, and a final, must-see set from blues virtuoso Lloyd Spiegel at 5:00pm.

Don’t miss your chance to be part of the biggest music holiday in the Whitsundays.

Your four-day soundtrack awaits!

ollywood glitz, glam and undeniable groove will hit the Airlie Beach Hotel on Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th of November for two stellar shows by Andrew De Silva.

A national treasure, Andrew De Silva has earned the title of one of Australia’s most accomplished and enduring voices in R&B and soul, leading him to accumulate an ARIA Award and a well-deserved place in Australian music history.

In 2012, Andrew captured the hearts of the nation when he was crowned winner of Australia’s Got Talent.

His commanding voice and dynamic stage presence have earned him the opportunity to perform alongside global superstars, supporting Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men during their Australian tours.

Before Australia’s Got Talent, Andrew co-created CDB, an Australian R&B, dance and vocal harmony quartet formed in 1991.

CDB, short for Central Dandenong Boys, rose to fame in the mid-1990s with their chart-topping R&B sound.

Their biggest hit was a cover of Earth, Wind & Fire’s Let’s Groove, which

reached number two on the ARIA Singles Chart and claimed the top spot in New Zealand. Another single, Hey Girl (This Is Our Time), also hit number one in New Zealand. The group released their debut studio album Glide with Me in November 1995 before disbanding in 1999.

Since his success on Australia’s Got Talent, Andrew’s solo career has soared to new heights, captivating the nation with his raw talent and heartfelt performances.

Andrew remains committed to his roots as a songwriter and producer, releasing chart-topping hits such as Coffee, Your Paradise, Into The Night and What’s Up What’s Down, which has reached over 400,000 international streams. In 2024, his album Lighthill Session reached number one on the Australian iTunes R&B charts, reaffirming his relevance and creative fire within the music industry and beyond.

“That voice is for the masses” – Brian McFadden “That was absolutely brilliant” – Dannii Minogue “You’re a true artist” – Todd McKenney With all these accolades, it is now time

for the Airlie Beach Hotel to hear Andrew’s electrifying voice. He has sold out venues across the country and will soon grace the stage right here in Airlie Beach.

In recent years, Andrew has been smashing it as a tribute artist. His Prince tribute has reached extraordinary heights, selling out venues nationwide. In 2024, Andrew released his newest tribute act, his Dedication to George Michael.

At the Airlie Beach Hotel, Andrew will be performing both shows on consecutive days. Two days of unmissable soundtracks that will take you back to your youth.

Joining Andrew will be the widely celebrated Ultimate Party Funk Band, which will have guests movin’ and groovin’ to the sounds of the 70s, 80s and 90s across both electrifying performances.

With the dates set and the excitement building, you certainly do not want to miss this weekend of incredible talent at the Airlie Beach Hotel.

Dive In And The Jellyfish Are Holidaying Too Reeflect!

Here Are Some Safe Swimming Tips

H

i Everyone,

It’s definitely heating up at the moment, and that means one thing... stingers are back!

Fun fact about stingers, or more formally known as ‘Irukanji’s,’ is that they have lots of eyes, with some having up to 24! Some are just sensitive to light and others help form actual images, although not to the level of detail our human eyes can.

In this weeks Ruth2Reef, we cover what to do if you come into contact with a stinger as well as information on sharks and their six senses.

Additionally, there has been some exciting news in the turtle world, as experts have announced that the Green Sea Turtle is no longer classified as endangered thanks to decades of conservation.

What a win for nature!

Happy reading,

W

hat is a stinger or Irukanji? Irukanji refers to tiny, highly venomous box jellyfish found in northern Australia.

The Irukanji gives a nasty sting which can cause the severe medical condition, Irukanji Syndrome. The Irukanji was named after the Yirrganydji Aboriginal people who are native to the coastal region near Cairns.

Irukandji Syndrome often causes mild symptoms, but in very rare cases, it can be life-threatening.

While stinger season is a regular occurance here in the Whitsundays, here is some things you can do to prevent getting a nasty surprise if you choose to swim in the turquoise waters of queensland.

1. Wear Protective Clothing

Many boat operators in the Whitsundays will provide you with a ‘stinger suit,’ this can come in the form of a full body lycra or neoprene suit, and they do this for good reason. This is the number one way of preventing stings, as suits protect up to 75% of the body and cover areas where

stings more commonly occur.

While not all suits offer equal protection - lycra or neoprene offer the greatest protection.

Its important to note that you should also wear protective clothing when wading, there were several reports last year of stings from wading alone.

2. Swim in stinger nets or between Life guard flags at beaches Ensure if you are going for a swim you opt for a dip in the stinger nets or swim between the flags and follow Life Saver’s advice if swimming at patrolled beaches.

that indicate Irukandji such as sustained NE winds, flat or calm weather, sea lice felt in the water and/or salps/ plankton present, make sure you check the conditions before entering the water.

4. Vinegar Make sure to always carry vinegar when going boating or undertaking other marine activities. Vinegar inactivates the stinging cells, so is a great preventative method to stop them injecting more venom.

Stinger nets are effective at keeping out dangerous Box Jellyfish, and stings have significantly decreased since their introduction. However, they cannot block the much smaller Irukandji, as smaller mesh would clog too quickly. For your safety, exercise caution when swimming in stinger enclosures and avoid interfering with the net or pontoon.

3. Be aware of weather conditions There are several high-risk conditions

Date And Venue Set For

Bowen Tourism AGM

B

owen Tourism and Business is calling for nominations to join the committee and has set the date and venue for the Annual General Meeting.

The not-for-profit Local Tourism Organisation has about 200 members, comprising tourism and non-tourism businesses.

IF YOU DON’T LOVE GARDENING OR JUST DON’T HAVE THE TIME, WHITPRO WILL DO A REGULAR QUICK RUN OVER TO KEEP THE NEIGHBOURS HAPPY IF YOU WANT A LITTLE MORE ATTENTION PAID TO YOUR MANICURED GARDEN, THEN OUR EXPERIENCED GARDENERS ARE THE TEAM FOR YOU Whitpro also keeps vacant blocks cut back to avoid council notices whether its with a ride on or our crews on brush cutters And for the large properties, the bobcat and slasher is up for the task

LOOKING AFTER WHITSUNDAY GARDENS SINCE 2005 124 Paluma Rd, Woodwark | whitpro.com.au | 0412 137 337

The organisation is responsible for operating the Bowen Visitor Information Centre next to the Big Mango and the Information Booth at Bowen’s Front Beach.

The centres are run by a small but dedicated team of dedicated staff and volunteers

“The Visitor Information Centre at the Big Mango is certainly one of the most successful in Queensland and is a true credit to the dedicated and innovative team and management committee.”

So far, 2025 has been a great year for the organisation with Bowen being named the Top Tourism Town in Queensland, the Big Mango being named the “Best Big Thing” in Queensland and the Big Mango taking out the bronze award for Tourist Attractions at the recent Tourism Whitsundays awards.

Any profits made are used to promote and market Bowen, Collinsville, and greater Whitsunday region.

Being named the Visitor Information Centre of the Year at the annual Queensland Information Centre’s Association (QICA) conference was another highlight.

The strategic direction of Bowen Tourism and Business is set by a volunteer committee.

The organisation’s AGM will be held at “360 on the Hill” at Flagstaff Hill in Bowen on Thursday, November 27.

Jenn Honnery has been the Chair of the committee for seven years and is proud of the growth of the business and achievements of the organisation.

All members are invited to attend and are also invited to nominate for the committee.

“It’s been a privilege to support the team of staff and volunteers at Bowen Tourism and Business and witness the evolution of the organisation and the services provided to visitors.

The nomination close on November 12.

Sharks and Their Six Senses

S

harks are among the most efficient predators on Earth—and for good reason! They have six powerful senses that help them hunt, survive, and thrive in the ocean. While humans only have five senses—sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch—sharks have all of these, plus an incredible sixth sense called electroreception.

Let’s explore how each of these senses works and why they make sharks such amazing hunters.

Hearing Sharks can hear sounds from up to a kilometre away. Their hearing is especially sensitive to low-frequency, irregular sounds, such as the noises made by injured or struggling fish. These sounds act like dinner bells, helping sharks locate easy prey.

Interestingly, sharks hear best in front of and above them—exactly where their food usually is!

Smell A shark’s sense of smell is legendary.

Some species can detect a single drop of blood in an Olympic-sized swimming pool! Most of a shark’s brain is devoted

to processing smells.

Unlike humans, sharks don’t use their noses to breathe. Instead, they have two external nostrils, each with an incurrent and excurrent opening leading to sensory sacs. As water flows through these sacs, special cells detect tiny traces of chemicals in the water. That’s how sharks “smell” their surroundings—through water, not air.

Touch Sharks can feel movement in the water even without touching anything directly. This is thanks to a special structure called the lateral line, which runs along each side of a shark’s body.

The lateral line contains millions of tiny, jelly-filled cells that sense vibrations.

When a fish swims nearby, the movement of the water causes these cells to move, sending messages to the shark’s brain. This distant sense of touch can detect movement more than 100 metres away—allowing sharks to sense prey even in dark or murky waters.

Sight In dim light or deep water, sharks can see about ten times better than humans.

This is because they have a special reflective layer at the back of their eyes called the tapetum lucidum, made up of silvery, mirror-like plates. These plates reflect light back through the retina, giving the shark a second chance to use it—similar to how a cat’s eyes glow in the dark.

Sharks only see in black and white, but they detect movement about twice as fast as humans. This quick reaction time gives them a big advantage when chasing prey.

Taste Scientists are still learning about a shark’s sense of taste. Sharks have taste buds inside their mouths, but their role isn’t fully understood. It’s believed that taste helps sharks decide whether to eat or spit out what they bite.

In fact, sharks are known to sample unfamiliar objects—sometimes taking a “test bite”—and then spit them out if they’re not appealing.

all— electroreception.

Every living creature produces tiny electrical signals when their muscles move or their heart beats. Sharks can detect these signals using a network of special, gel-filled pores around their nose and mouth called the ampullae of Lorenzini.

This means sharks can sense the electric fields made by other animals, even if they’re hiding under sand or swimming in total darkness. It’s an extraordinary ability that makes sharks the most electrically sensitive animals on Earth.

As you can see, sharks are not mindless predators—they are highly tuned creatures with an incredible set of senses that help them survive in their underwater world. From detecting faint sounds and smells to sensing the tiniest electrical pulses, these six senses make sharks some of the ocean’s most remarkable hunters.

Airlie Beach Bowls Club Weekly Results BOWLS

I

t’s been another exciting week at our little club in paradise, with plenty of action both on and off the green.

Tuesday afternoon social bowls, brilliantly organised by Wendy Pomeroy, saw 18 bowlers in play.

The biggest winning margin went to skipper Barry Wise, who has settled into the club like a duck to water since joining us from Tasmania. With lead Eric Barnard and his wife Maureen, they were easily the standout team on the green.

reckoned with.

On Friday morning, the Endeavour Foundation participants continued to improve their skills, with Jett taking out the day’s honours and Kiara bowling well for the ladies. Later that afternoon, 21 Christian College students hit the greens for their weekly lessons. Several of the newcomers — Patel, Brooke, and the Caris sisters — showed real promise in mastering the art of lawn bowls.

Wednesday afternoon social bowls, under the watchful eye of Merve Stewart, attracted 20 bowlers. The day’s honours went to Gary Smith and Bobby Spees, who dominated their match with an impressive winning margin.

Saturday morning Scroungers saw first-round winners Margo Stanley, Kathryn Remmeswaal, Barry Wise, and Mark Mawson battle it out for the prize. Margo Stanley claimed victory on the final end when the jack rolled her way, while Betty Whitehorn won the B Grade final.

Wednesday night’s Business House Bowls under the lights saw more than 30 bowlers take to the greens, with Rock Plumbing proving they’re still a force to be

Sunday social bowls drew 17 players, with Betty Nicole, fresh from her holiday in Greece, leading her team of Keith Bates and Alan Pershouse to a commanding win.

Meanwhile, at Seaforth Bowls Club, the Champion of Champions Two-Bowl Triples were contested, with our outstanding team of Manny Isgro, Russell Jackson, and John Fielding at lead continuing their remarkable form.

After winning the club championship for the sixth year in a row, they defeated West Tigers 30–18, Pioneer Valley 32–24, and South Suburban 29–21 before downing Seaforth 33–10 in the final — an awesome display of precision and teamwork.

In Bowen, the Fours Championship was also claimed by another brilliant team effort, with skipper Shane Spann, third Joan McGrath, second Vicki Spann, and lead Ash Warland combining superbly.

It just goes to show that while we may be a small club, we boast tremendous quality and a big heart.

arm and dry conditions didn’t deter Proserpine golfers last week, with players making the most of the fast fairways and steadily improving greens.

ight of our dedicated athletes travelled to compete at the Charters Towers Amateur Swimming Club Long Course Meet over the weekend, delivering strong performances and plenty of personal bests. Congratulations to Bonnie and Gracie Crichton, Thomas Ganter, Blaire, Indigo, Koa and Ruby Harland, and Nelson Malady for representing the club so proudly. The team showed great determination across their events, with notable PBs and podium finishes reflecting the hard work put in at training.

Tuesday’s Single Stableford saw John Wallace continue his consistent form, taking the men’s win with 40 points on a countback from James Kontis. In the ladies’ event, Elspeth Scotford led with 39 points ahead of Rehab Hull on 37.

Back home, Wednesday’s Club Night was buzzing with more than 50 swimmers in the pool and a fantastic turnout of new families taking part in our Come and Try offer. It’s always exciting to see fresh faces join the Cannons family, and we look forward to welcoming everyone back next week.

Upgrades were presented to Brooklyn Congoo, Isabelle Johnston, and Hamilton Anflous, while a special mention goes to Celeste Orenshaw, who earned her upgrade to the 1500m Freestyle. After completing an impressive 800m at Distance Night, Celeste skipped the 800m milestone entirely — a huge achievement for a young swimmer.

The Chocolate Award for the biggest personal best went to Roxy Groom, who shaved 5.39 seconds off her 25m Backstroke. This week’s Coaches Awards were shared between Tyler Bennet for his powerful 25m Freestyle and Alex Trefz for his great effort in the 25m Backstroke.

The Cannons now gear up for a busy month ahead,

The veterans also produced strong results, with Allison McCarthy again in top touch, carding an impressive 41 points to edge out Scotford and Hull.

On Wednesday, Nicole Cooper delivered a superb 41 points to claim victory in the ladies’ Stableford, with Megan Dwyer and Trish McNeill close behind.

Thursday’s men’s competition saw Paul Joice dominate the B Grade with a standout 42 points, while Jason Bourke took A Grade on countback from Jake Murray.

The Friday 9-hole run, sponsored by the Metropole Hotel, was a close contest, with Trish McNeill taking the win on countback from Paul Skinner, both finishing on 20 points. Harry Milne narrowly missed in the “Putt for Cash,” which jackpots to $950 next week.

Saturday’s Stableford, sponsored by Master Butchers Whitsunday, delivered some of the week’s best scoring.

David Woods shot 43 points to claim the B Grade title, while Laurie Dakin took out A Grade with 41. In the ladies’ field, Megan Beker was unstoppable, returning a brilliant 46 points to win ahead of Megan Dwyer (42) and Elspeth Scotford (41).

Sunday’s final event rounded out the week with John Hoey taking the men’s win on 39 points and Peta Thomas edging out Nicole Cooper on countback in the ladies’ division.

Written by Craig Valmadre

In pursuit, the Pitbulls timed their chase well but fell just short — 20 runs shy with four overs to spare. Strong batting from Mitchell (32 off 29), Matty (28* off 35), and Ryan (22 off 27) kept them in the contest.

A valiant effort with plenty of positives to take forward.

The U17 Pitbulls met the Magpies at Marian after their scheduled HP1 clash was relocated. Batting first, openers M. Logan (32) and J. Valmadre (54) set a strong platform before English recruit G. Hanson (59*) powered the side to 192 off 25 overs.

U14 Boys Written by Aiden & Jaxson Farley The U14 Pitbulls faced Sarina Spartans at Harrup Park. Batting first, Bradley Hetherington’s commanding half-century anchored key partnerships with Cabe, Kobi, and Jaxson, guiding the team to 3/146.

Defending the total, the Pitbulls bowled with control — wickets shared among Lily, Brad, Kobi, Matthew, and Aiden, including a sharp runout to seal the match.

Player of the Match: Bradley Hetherington (50 runs, 3 wickets).

U17 Boys

In reply, captain M. Gabey (0/12 off 4) and J. Geisler (0/21 off 3) kept the Magpies under pressure. O. Seamer’s devastating spell (5/15 off 5) tore through the top order, supported by Hanson and Valmadre, who wrapped up the innings for a convincing Pitbulls win.

Senior Girls Kobe Manly and Lily Smith impressed in the opening rounds of the Komatsu Ladies T20 Smash at Harrup Park. Representing the Custom Fluid Mudcrabs and Gibbs Air Crocs respectively, both shone with bat and ball. PJCA is proud of their performances and looks forward to seeing them continue to excel.
