Editor’s Note
is week, I travelled to Townsville with a couple of our team members to interview sporting legend Johnathan urston. Our Sales Manager, Trish, teed up the opportunity, and our journo, Daniel, was brave enough to step up and conduct the interview — which we recorded for our YouTube channel.
Upon arriving in Townsville, we were all excited — but de nitely a little nervous. It’s not every day you get to meet an internationally recognised sports icon!
When we arrived at the JT Academy, we expected a bit of fanfare — maybe a receptionist, possibly an entourage. But instead, it was JT himself who opened the door, smiling and ready to greet us. No ego, no show — just a down-to-earth guy with a genuine presence.
From the moment we stepped inside, it was clear how passionate he is about the JT Academy, which he started in 2018 to support disadvantaged young people — especially those doing it tough — to create better futures.
Daniel did a fantastic job interviewing JT in a profession-
al yet relaxed manner, and we all found it incredibly inspiring to hear the story of how the Academy evolved.
I think it’s especially admirable when someone who could have retired and simply lived o the success of their fame instead chooses to give back and make a real di erence in communities. at’s why JT has now become even more of a hero to me.
You can read JT’s full story in the upcoming September/ October issue of Core Magazine, and the full interview will be available on our YouTube channel once the magazine is out in print.
Big thanks to Trish for making it happen, and huge congrats to Daniel on another superstar interview.
De nitely a Townsville trip we’ll never forget.

KINDNESS IN ACTION
In a heartwarming display of community spirit, the Horseshoe Bay Social Club has once again shown how powerful a group with purpose — and kindness — can be. e club recently donated $2000 to the Bowen Hospital, with the funds dedicated to the development of the hospital’s new oncology clinic.
e generous contribution was made possible through the ongoing e orts of club members, local supporters, and fundraising activities throughout the year. Committee members Max Martin and Perry proudly presented the donation to a representative of the Bowen Hospital Auxiliary, highlighting the
strong relationship between the social club and local healthcare services.
e impact of such donations goes far beyond the nancial. ey represent what’s possible when people come together not just for social connection, but to make a real and lasting di erence in the lives of others. Social clubs like the one at Horseshoe Bay continue to prove that community is more than just geography — it’s shared values, compassion, and the willingness to lend a hand. Well done to everyone who contributed to this fantastic result. e Bowen Hospital, and the community it serves, is all the better for it.

New Sewerage Main Works Funded
The $33 million sewerage connection announcement was made by Deputy Premier Jarrod Bleijie, at Whitsunday Paradise in Bowen on Wednesday morning.
“It is under the build Whitsundays programme, and it is a sewage connection to connect this part of Bowen and Whitsunday Regional Council right through including ve new sewage treatment plants and connecting to the big sewerage treatment plant,” he said.
“ at’s a $33 million commitment, and unless that sewage is connected from this part to the other sewerage treatment plants, these developments would not proceed. So that is a partnership not only with the Whitsunday Council, the developer, but also the State government.
“As the Brisbane Lord Mayor said the other day, a sewerage pipeline is not a sexy announcement, but it’s imperative, and without it, it ain’t happening. You can’t get the houses-built people need.
“Access to the sewage treatment plants when they build their homes is trunk infrastructure, it’s got to happen and we’re just pleased to be the government now delivering on behalf of regional Queensland.”
Minister for Natural Resources and Mines and Member for Burdekin Dale Last said the investment would deliver long-term bene ts for local families and communities.
“ e former Labor Government’s decade of decline le places like Bowen with zero residential vacancies, forcing teachers into caravan parks as the housing a ordability crisis deepened. e Crisafulli Gov-
ernment is cutting through the barriers to keep families in our region and attract workers to support our community,” Minister Last said.
“By delivering this infrastructure, we’re making sure that housing supply in North Queensland keeps pace with population growth so that young people can a ord to stay and raise a family here.
“ is investment will unlock thousands of homes and give young families the certainty they need with a place to call home.
“Every new home means more tradie jobs, more business for local suppliers and more con dence in our region’s future.”
Whitsunday Regional Council Mayor Ry Collins said the investment would unlock the next stage of growth for the Whitsundays providing backbone infrastructure to enable more than 960 dwellings over the next decade.
“ is funding partnership ensures we can deliver the utilities that underpin liveable communities, support housing a ordability, and help families put down roots in our region,” Mayor Collins said.
“We’re grateful to the Crisafulli Government, and to our local Member Dale Last, for recognising the pressing need for housing in the Whitsundays and backing Council’s e orts to deliver real solutions.
“It’s going to be a fantastic partnership for the many years ahead and I thank you very much for your support.”
Mayor Ry Collins also said the Whitsundays is the fastest growing local government area in Regional Queensland and with that growth comes pressure in terms of housing, rentals and also infrastructure.
Battery Blaze Contained At Bowen Landfill
Just last week, a re broke out at the Bowen Land ll located at 908 Bowen Developmental Road a er a selection of used batteries were disposed of incorrectly.
It’s suspected the blaze was caused a er a lithium-ion battery was wrongfully placed in the scrap metal pile at the dumping grounds. Lithium-ion batteries are highly hazardous if punctured, crushed or exposed to heat and pose a serious safety risk in instances like these when they’re not correctly disposed of.
ankfully, the Bowen Delta Rural Fire Brigade’s swi response brought the blaze quickly under control. However, the Whitsunday Regional Council hopes the instance serves as a strong reminder of how improper disposal of batteries not only creates costly hazards and environmental risks but also endangers the safety of workers and the broader community.
Household batteries can be safely recycled through the Whitsunday Regional Council’s Household Battery Recycling Scheme at any of the o cial bins located at the Whitsunday Regional Council Customer Service Centres and Libraries, as well as at the Collinsville and Cannonvale Transfer Stations. Additional bins can also be found at community sites like Bunnings Warehouse.
Larger, more hazardous batteries like lead acid batteries can be disposed of at the Cannonvale Transfer Station, Collinsville Transfer Station, Bowen Land ll and Kelsey Creek Land ll, and mobile phones can be recycled at all Whitsunday Regional Council Libraries and Waste Facilities. Additional details on the Whitsunday Regional Council’s Household Battery Recycling Scheme can be found online at www. whitsundayrc.qld.gov.au.

Lynn Leaves Gift In Will To Honour Her Miracle Baby
Still overcome with gratitude, former Bowen local Lynn has decided to leave a lasting legacy to thank the hospital that saved her son’s life more than four decades ago.
Lynn and her husband George’s journey into parenthood was marked with heartbreak, having lost two babies to stillbirth. In August of 1979, they welcomed their third child, Mark, born ve weeks premature and facing overwhelming odds. He entered the world with a rare combination of conditions – H-type stula, hare lip and cle palate – with survival chances estimated at over 30 million to one.
Within hours, Mark was rushed to the Prince of Wales Children’s Hospital Intensive Care Unit in Sydney, su ering severe respiratory distress. Doctors feared he wouldn’t survive and advised the family to consider an immediate baptism.
At just eight days old, Mark underwent his rst surgery, followed by another just weeks later. e months ahead were fraught with complications – a collapsed lung, blocked airways, seizures and multiple resuscitations. Feeding was particularly di cult, and Mark required a gastrostomy tube and intravenous support.
rough each challenge, Lynn spent countless hours at her baby’s side, learning how to care for his fragile body. At four months old, surgeons repaired his lip and part of his palate, before further operations followed in his early years, including another cle palate repair. With immense perseverance and care, Mark eventually began eating without assistance – a milestone Lynn describes as nothing short of miraculous.
Now, decades later, Lynn calls Mark her “miracle baby” and is ensuring her gratitude lives on. She has chosen to leave a gi
in her will to Sydney Children’s Hospital, honouring the medical team who gave her family hope during their darkest days.
Lynn is sharing her story in support of the Fundraising Institute Australia’s Include a Charity Week from 1st to the 7th of September, which encourages Australians to leave a gi in their wills to causes close to their hearts.

Fennell’s Floorworld Named Rising Star At National Awards
Fennell’s Floorworld has been recognised on the national stage, taking out the prestigious Rising Star Award at the National Flooring World Conference Awards Night held in Brisbane last ursday.
Scott Fennell owner of Fennell’s Floorworld has been in the ooring industry for 40 years.
e award, which cannot be entered but is instead selected from among Floorworld head o ce following a strict criteria, came as a huge surprise to the Cannonvale and Bowen based business.
“We were jumping out of our skin when our name was called,” said Accounts Manager Natasha Saroglia. “It’s such an honour because it’s not something you apply for –you’re chosen, which makes it even more special.”
It was the rst time Fennell’s Floorworld had been nominated at the national level, with the business also shortlisted for Queensland Store of the Year.
e Rising Star recognition comes o the back of signi cant growth for the business in recent years. Originally operating out of Cannonvale, Fennell’s has expanded its
footprint with a store in Bowen, established to better service customers in the growing Whitsunday region.
e growth Fennell experienced not only saw them expand to new a location but also grow in terms of productivity.
“We were travelling to Bowen so o en with our sta that it just made sense to open a permanent store there,” Natasha explained.
“It allows us to provide a more convenient service for local customers.”
e expansion has been matched by diversi cation in products and services. While the company has long been known for its ooring expertise, o ering engineered timber, hybrid, laminate, carpet and vinyl planks it has recently added window furnishings to its range.
“In the last couple of months, we’ve introduced blinds and curtains, which has been really exciting,” Natasha said.
is provides customers with the option to nish their interiors with more than just
ooring.
Fennell’s o ers both supply-only and supply-and-install options, working with a team of full-time and subcontracted installers to ensure exibility for customers.
“Some people want to do it themselves, while others prefer the full service, so we cater to both,” said Natasha.
Looking ahead, the team is focusing on building on its reputation for quality service and strong customer relationships
rather than chasing rapid expansion.
“We’ve grown a lot over the past four years, but now it’s about perfecting what we do,” Natasha said.
“Our customers are at the centre of everything, and this award shows that the hard work is paying o .”
e Rising Star Award has cemented Fennell’s Floor world as a business on the rise, recognised not only in the Whitsundays but now across Australia.

The rst Europeans to settle in the Lower Conway area were the Wilson family - Fred in 1905 and his wife, Catherine, and children, Beatrice and Fred, in 1908. A pioneer to the Saltwater Creek area, Fred had previously travelled around Queensland nding employment as a shearer, a drover, and a farm hand. e Wilson family cleared the land and initially concentrated on growing bananas. In 1913, they sent their rst sugar cane to the mill as the tramline had, by then, been extended to the Conway / Preston area.
then by foot along the beach or by using the rough track cut out by the farmers using hand axes, mattocks, horses and plenty of blood, sweat and tears.
In 1942, Harry and Ruby Davison owned the area now known as Wilson Beach. ey had built their family home on the beach front and there they raised nine children. Sadly, the house had to be demolished a er Cyclone Debbie, however, their name lives on in Davison Road. Hall Drive is named a er another early settler, Arthur Hall, whose house was along the beach from Davison’s.

Wilson Beach was once referred to as Little Beach and Conway as Big Beach but when subdivision and development took place in the area, o cial names were proposed. Hence, we now have Wilson Beach and Conway Beach. (Conway Beach was originally known as Preston Beach).
Circa 1911, the local families, the “Prestonites”, held a picnic at the mouth of the Proserpine River. In those times, access to Little Beach was by boat from Saltwater Creek to the mouth of the river and
e “Proserpine Guardian” January 13, 1961 reported, “Master Beames, from Brisbane, is visiting Little Beach during the Christmas vacation as a guest of the Davison family. Other visitors during the holidays included Mr and Mrs E Grimstone and Lyn, Miss G Carne, Mr and Mrs C. Hiscox and family, Mr and Mrs J. Jackson and M. King and family from Mackay who were camped on the beach. e road, now bitumened, is quite good, although the sides are very so and cars are apt to skid or sink down when pass-

ing or overtaking.”
In the late 1950s, local residents and the visiting holiday makers had expressed that a swimming enclosure was needed, as there was no safe place for the children to swim. ere were stingers in the sea and the water ow at Cedar Creek falls was unreliable. So, many locals hand cut posts from the bush and the wire was donated. e community kept the enclosure in good repair. Each year, the wire was replaced before the start of the stinger season. And before the tide came in, the enclosure was always checked to make sure there was nothing danger-
ous trapped in there. Damage to the enclosure from Cyclone Debbie made the enclosure unusable however it has recently been rebuilt by the council.
Wilson Beach has grown into a beautiful, peaceful, secluded seaside settlement with magni cent sunsets: a place where families love to spend holidays. e community should be proud of the strong community spirit which has been passed down through the generations since the days of the early settlers.

Funding Secured for Kelsey Creek Bridges Project
Reliable roads and bridges are the backbone of our regional economy. ey keep our cane farmers, graziers and local residents connected, and ensure produce, livestock and equipment can move when and where they need to.
In recent years, weight restrictions on Kelsey Creek Bridges 2 and 3 have made life more complicated for those who depend on them most. For primary producers, especially during the busy sugar crushing season, these restrictions have meant longer trips and more logistical challenges when moving heavy vehicles, machinery and goods.
at’s why I’m very pleased to share that this project has now been prioritised, and funding is secured to deliver a longterm solution. Council has successfully secured more than $4.5 million through the Australian Government’s Safer Local Roads and Infrastructure Program, which will cover 80 per cent of the $5.6 million project cost.
On top of this, Council has committed further funding through the Transport Infrastructure Development Scheme to enable heavy vehicle bypasses to be fasttracked while the permanent replacements are designed and constructed.
ese bypasses will provide bed level crossings in waterways to comply with sheries requirements and be built to a dry-weather standard and will immediately ease pressure on farmers and transport operators by creating alternate access for heavy vehicles. O cers are still to determine the ultimate alignment for the new bridges and detour options for all vehicles during construction.
I want to acknowledge the strong ad-
vocacy of Divisional Councillors John Collins and Gary Simpson, who have worked tirelessly to ensure this project was elevated as a priority. Both Councillors have been strong voices for their communities and have pushed hard to make sure local farmers, graziers and residents get the infrastructure they need. eir commitment has played a key role in helping Council secure the funding and drive this project forward. is project simply would not have been possible without the support of the Australian Federal Government. eir recognition of the importance of this investment and willingness to commit signi cant funding has made it possible for Council to get on with the job. On behalf of our community, I sincerely thank the Federal Government for backing the Whitsundays and our rural industries.
I also want to thank local landholders for working with Council o cers to help identify practical bypass options. eir recent cooperation and input have been invaluable in making sure we can move quickly and e ectively.
Council’s focus is now on delivery. By prioritising this project and empowering our o cers to take the necessary steps, we’re making sure the solutions are implemented as soon as possible. is project will bring real bene ts to our rural industries and communities, not just for today but for decades to come. It’s a clear sign of our commitment to practical infrastructure that supports the people who drive our local economy.
September is Rural Road Safety Month, a timely reminder to take extra care on our rural roads. Almost two in every three road deaths occur on rural roads, where long distances, isolation and tough conditions increase the risks. Every trip matters, whether it’s to work, school, or visiting loved ones. By slowing down, staying alert and driving with care, we can all help prevent tragedy and keep our community safe.

Beach And The Whitsundays
lthough the vision was clear from the outset, turning it into reality required persistence and collaboration.
“ e challenge was getting the idea in my head to be just as clear for everyone else,” Glenn explained. “But I had a lot of help and input from other people. It wasn’t just me, it was a real team e ort.”
Among those acknowledged were Cumberland Homes as the principal contractor, along with Gangemi Cabinet Makers, Coastal Brush Painters, Holly Gardner Interior Design, Adfab Industries, Shellco, Andy Manners, and George and Bare Tiling. Each played a role in shaping the award-winning venue into what it is today.
e development rst began in 2006 with the purchase of the land, which sat untouched for a decade before the rst stage of accommodation was built in 2017.
From the beginning, the goal was to create more than just a place to stay; it was about building something that would be a primary reason for visitors to choose Airlie Beach for weddings, corporate events, and unique Whitsunday experiences.
“We’re really proud to win this award, because this is what this building is for, it’s to bring tourists into the town, and that’s what it’s about,” exclaimed Glenn.
“We’re not bringing Melbourne or Sydney to Airlie Beach; we are about showcasing the Whitsundays. So hence the view, hence the gin, hence our menu. Everything is reecting what the Whitsundays has to o er, and we’re doing it in an elevated way.”
In addition to its event spaces, the venue has expanded its o erings to include a distillery, with spirits cra ed using locally sourced ingredients, including Whitsunday rainwater. e unique addition, which came during the build, required changes to the original plans but has since become a de ning feature.
Glenn said the idea was to capture the Whitsundays not just in the venue, but in their spirits too.
“And we’re having a lot of fun with it,” he said.
Community has also been at the heart of the business, with the venue sponsoring local events such as Race Week and the
Airlie Beach Festival of Music.
Glenn said supporting locals is vital to their business. “We’re a community-based business, and we want to see the community do well.”
“Our local clientele are also very important. e second part of that is, if you start to bring in weddings or events from out of town, that will also employ more local businesses, because they’re subsidiary to what we do.
Essentially, we’re a venue, a distillery, and we’re accommodation. But wedding planning, and all these types of events, the more active we are, the better it’s going to be for other local businesses

Proserpine Apprentice Recognised With State Award
Eighteen-year-old Jake Duggan is proving that passion and hard work pay o , having been named the MTA Institute Apprentice of the Month for July.
Jake, who is in the second year of his auto electrical apprenticeship, works at Proserpine Auto Air and Electrical. His pathway into the trade began in a roundabout way—when owners Ray and Lisa Boyle asked him to help clean the workshop a er school. at part-time job soon evolved into work experience and, before long, a school-based apprenticeship.
Having always been interested in cars, and considering a career as an electrician, Jake quickly realised this trade was the perfect way to combine the two.
“When I was growing up, my dad had earthmoving equipment, trucks and so on, and I just found it interesting,” Jake said. Now, working alongside Ray, Jake enjoys the diversity of the jobs that come through the business. In an agricultural area like Proserpine, that means not only working on cars and trucks but also machinery and even the occasional aircra .
“In the summertime, air conditioning is probably our main focus, but we work on the systems in cars, trucks, farming ma-
chinery and equipment, even helicopters and planes occasionally,” said Jake.
“And I’m involved any time they have something that’s a bit di erent. My boss really likes getting a good variety of jobs. At the moment we’re doing dual battery isolator set ups for travellers and caravan owners.”
Jake’s dedication was especially clear earlier this year when a serious road accident le Ray and Lisa away from the business for several weeks. With the help of family members, including Lisa’s father Terry, Jake stepped up to keep the workshop running. He took on stock control, diagnostics, customer service and more.
“To me, that didn’t seem like that big of a thing to do at the time … I just did it,” he said modestly.
His commitment and ability beyond his years has earned high praise from his employers and now state-level recognition.
Looking ahead, Jake knows the automotive industry is always evolving and is ready to embrace the changes. Electric vehicles, for example, are already on his radar.
“We don’t see too many around here, but there are a few getting around, and they are becoming a lot more popular,” he said.
“I’m not super-interested in them, but
once I have nished my apprenticeship I will look at doing some training to work on them. I want to keep learning, take things as they are and see how things go.”
With his skill, work ethic, and eagerness to learn, it’s clear Jake Duggan has a bright future in the automotive trade.

Tin Lid Enterprises Are Kicking Goals
Whitsundays-based company
Tin Lid Enterprises has achieved its biggest milestone yet, taking out the prestigious Commercial Trade Contractor of the Year award at the Master Builders Awards.
is award, which is the highest at the regional level, now positions the local family-owned business for the statenals in October.
e award recognised Tin Lid’s outstanding work on the region’s new re station, a project that demanded precision and technical skill. Over three months, the team completed all roo ng and wall cladding, installing an impact-resistant system that required pre-drilling and aligning more than 10,000 holes.
Tin Lid Enterprises have been nominated in the Master Builders Awards for the last three years. In 2024, they won Judges’ Commendation, but owners Kate Lilly and Nic Buhler always had their eyes set on the Commercial Trade Contractor of the Year award.
Founded in 2021 by Nic and Kate, Tin Lid Enterprises has steadily grown while keeping its close-knit, family approach. e business has trained apprentices, including one who was named Indigenous Apprentice of the Year, and continues to advocate for more young people to consider roo ng as a trade.
With the award on their toolbelt, the team is now gearing up for a busy 12 months ahead, taking on major projects including the Mackay Regional Council Resource Centre of Excellence, St Patrick’s College, Carlisle Adventist College, Aldi and Harvey Norman in Cannonvale and extensions for Bunnings.
Eastwood Project Win First Master Builders Award
Astunning 400-square-metre home at Botanica Drive has earned Eastwood Projects their rst Master Builders Award, marking a major milestone for the local construction company.
“ is was our rst time entering the Master Builders Awards, so to come away with a win makes it even more special,” said Gabbi Eastwood from Eastwood Projects.
“We really appreciate how Master Builders celebrate builders and high-quality workmanship, it feels good to be acknowledged for that.”
e intricately designed home, located within the gated estate in Woodwark, took around 14 months to complete and stood out for its cra smanship and detailed carpentry. e property has since been sold, but its impact has le a lasting impression on the team.
Designed with a strong focus on detail, the home has become a benchmark project for the company, which is now setting its sights on future builds with the hope of further recognition in next year’s awards.
Currently, Eastwood Projects is working on two major projects in Airlie Beach. e rst is a striking three-storey modern holiday home at e Beacons on Boathaven Beach. e second is a full renovation of one of the original Airlie Crescent shacks, where the team is set to transform the old structure into a modern residence while preserving its coastal character.
With one award already under their belt and more ambitious projects on the horizon, Eastwood Projects is quickly building a reputation for high-quality design and construction in the Whitsundays.

A Blockbuster Year For Whitsundays Actor
The past 12 months have been nothing short of remarkable for Whitsundays-based actor Jean-Pierre Yerma (JP) who has added a string of major credits to his growing career.
A er years of honing his cra at NIDA and Sydney’s Actors Pulse, JP has seen his hard work pay o with back-to-back roles that highlight his versatility on screen. “It’s been incredible,” he said. “ e roles coming my way recently have been doctors, fathers and witnesses—there’s de nitely a theme, but each one has been rewarding in its own way.”
JP has featured in Romance in the Vineyard, which was shot in Queensland, and that connection later helped bring lm crews north, with the Whitsundays becoming the backdrop for Steve Jaggi’s Love Is in the Air (2024) starring Delta Goodrem.
Although JP missed out on appearing in that production, the experience strength-
ened his ties to the industry and to promoting the region as a lming destination.
is year, however, JP secured one of his most signi cant roles yet, starring as Dr Marcus O’Brien in the upcoming lm Boss Cat. Shot in the Blue Mountains, the emotional story pairs him with celebrated Australian actor Penny Downie, whose credits include e Crown and Downton Abbey. “When we did the table read, people were in tears by the end,” he said. “It’s a beautifully written story and one I’m proud to be part of.”
With momentum building, JP says the past year has been his best to date and urges other local Whitsunday residents to get out there and act.
“Stay optimistic. Work on your cra . Get your skills, learn as much as you can from teachers and those in the eld. Fill up your toolbox with skills—learn accents, learn
di erent techniques,” said JP.
“Study the great actors, watch lms, study their work, their commitment to roles, and their transformations.
“Most importantly, follow your dream and passion. You’re going to get knocked down but just get up and keep going. at’s the magic—just keep going.”

“We love all our audience and our fans, our Chiquititas, and they are very important to us. We’re always coming o -stage and talking to them a erward,” explained Sam Bennett who performs as Björn. at connection has made SOS one of the most loved tribute acts in the country. For over 12 years, the group has taken their show nationwide, but Airlie Beach holds a special place in their hearts.

What Brain Am I In? -
BY SHARON ASHMAN
Last fortnight, we met the Red Brain – the angry, reactive part that yells, hits, and melts down.
But what about when your child isn’t exploding – they’re withdrawing?
ey’re quiet, teary, refusing to talk, or saying things like “I’m dumb,” “No one likes me,” or “I can’t do it.” at’s the Blue Brain.
e Blue Brain is our emotional brain. It’s where sadness, worry, and fear live. It’s where kids feel hurt but don’t know how to ask for help. Unlike the Red Brain, the Blue Brain doesn’t roar – it whispers. And because it’s quieter, it o en gets missed.
Children stuck in Blue Brain mode might seem overly sensitive, avoidant, or at –but underneath, they’re struggling with big feelings they don’t have the words for yet.
In counselling, I help children understand what’s going on inside and teach them how to name their feelings, ask for help, and build emotional resilience. We also work with parents to create safe, connected environments where kids feel seen and heard – even in their lowest moments.
If your child seems down, anxious, or overwhelmed, trust your instincts.
You don’t need to wait for things to “get really bad” to reach out.
Call 0418708214 today to book a counselling session that supports both you and your child.
Next fortnight: What’s the goal of it all? Let’s meet the calm, clever, super problem-solver, Green Brain.

Whitsunday United Weekly Football Report
The Div 1 men headed to Mackay for key games against Lions. Div 2 were up rst wanting a win to cement their place in the nals. In the rst half, Whitsunday was very at with little to show in attack and a single goal lead not showing the Lions’ dominance. Second half was a di erent story with the team ring up and playing some of their best football of the season. Macka had his best game so far and a breakaway goal near the end gave WUFC a 3-2 win and con dence before the nals series coming up.
Div 1 had to win to give themselves a chance to take the league in the nal round. First half they were dominant but only had a single goal to show with the opposition keeper playing a blinder. e second half Whitsunday conceded a poor goal as they waited for a foul expected to be called but no whistle eventuated. e pressure built as WUFC pushed hard with an end-to-end game playing out an entertaining season decider. Unfortunately, WUFC could not get the rub of the green or past the excellent Lions keeper, conceding a late goal as they pushed too many forward giving Lions the league title.
e U13 Div 1 team played a couple of
tough games over the weekend. On Saturday they faced a strong Lions team (third on the ladder) and despite playing really well, went down 6-3. On Sunday they played Magpies who are second on the ladder and battled away for a respectable 7-3 loss. WUFC U13 Prems secured a solid 2-0 win over Wanderers Rubies at Mackay Football Park in a game marked by tight defence and hard work across the pitch. e rst half was a hard-fought battle, with few clear chances for either side, leaving the score locked at 0-0 at the break. Early in the second half, WUFC found their breakthrough, with Nelson M and Mayson M both nding the net to establish a twogoal lead. From there, WUFC showed great discipline and determination, holding rm in defence to see out the match and claim all three points. A strong team e ort that continues to build their momentum in the competition. Tough day at the o ce for the WUFC U14s. With a lot riding on this game, the team just didn’t come together. ere were some great saves early in the game from Nick Phillipson and some impressive runs towards goal by Shannon without result.

Jamie Maher Crowned Premier League Champion After FinalRound Thriller
The nal round of the Premier League season was held on Sunday a ernoon at the Airlie Beach Bowls Club, with top spot on the line.
Dom Friend had a huge role to play in the day’s a airs, as both contenders for the title, Reef Peel and Jamie Maher, were set to face him.
For Reef, nothing less than a win over Dom would do, and he would then need Dom to defeat Jamie later in the day for the league to be decided on leg di erence. Jamie, on the other hand, only needed a draw or a win against Dom to secure his rst league crown.
Before those key clashes, Dom had a third match to play against Scott Edmonds. While neither player could move on the ladder, both gave it their all. Dom prevailed 7–0 to lock in fourth place for the season, with Scott nishing seventh, setting up a consolation nal against Naomi Mitchell for the Hetlock Cup.
Reef then did his part, defeating Dom 7–4

Tightly held for 20 years and now finally o ered to the market, this 3.18-hectare (7.8-acre) estate is the ultimate blend of luxury, lifestyle and location.

The fully fenced tennis court is ready for competitive family matches, and the surrounding bushland privacy provides space for peaceful wandering or future
infrastructure.

The executive-designed home is made for entertaining, with a sleek stainless-steel galley kitchen, sunroom/air-conditioned o ce, spacious open-plan living, and a large laundry/utility room to keep life humming. Downstairs, the master suite o ers comfort and privacy with a generous ensuite, while upstairs becomes a child’s dream zone – loftstyle sleeping quarters & more, a games retreat, and a massive shaded deck that feels like a private treehouse.
