Over the weekend, I had the pleasure of attending the 25th annual Airlie Beach Triathlon Festival—and what a treat it was! A huge congratulations to Mick, Val, and their incredible army of volunteers who made the event not only possible but truly memorable.
A big shoutout also to all the participants—from overall winners Josh Ferris and Tara Sosinski to every single person who trained, showed up, and gave it their all. Dozens of local kids took part again this year, cheered on by proud families, filling the course with energy and community spirit. It was a joy to watch. Alongside the pros came the amateurs—everyday people who made the brave decision to step outside their comfort zones, challenge their limits, and use their bodies in ways they hadn’t before. It wasn’t just a physical feat; it was a mental one too. And I’m sure for many, crossing that finish line wasn’t just a triumph for the body—it was fuel for the soul.
One such amateur was our
very own journalist Daniel Heggie, who had been quietly training for months. His goal? To race alongside a childhood friend travelling up from Adelaide who had thrown down the challenge. In true friendly rivalry fashion, the competition wasn’t about beating others—it was about beating each other! If you see Daniel around, ask him for the full story—it involves a three-minute margin and a catastrophic bike leg. We wrapped up the weekend at the Sunday night Sponsors Dinner, where I was once again blown away by the festival’s warmth. Many guests commented on how unique this event is — intimate and welcoming to everyone from elite athletes to first-time triathletes. It’s that sense of connection and community that makes this festival so special.

15 kilometres of the Bowen Developmental Road will be sealed
Calls from Whitsunday Regional Council and Mayor Ry Collins have borne fruit, with $18.9 million secured under the Country Road Connects Program to seal 15 kilometres of the Bowen Developmental Road.
Mayor Collins said the funding is a long-awaited win for the region’s rural industries, residents, and road users.
“We’ve heard over many years how important this road is—particularly to our rural industries, cattle farmers, the livestock sector, as well as the residents that traverse our rural areas,” he said.
Currently, three sections of the Bowen Developmental Road remain unsealed, creat-
ing ongoing problems for road safety and access, particularly during disaster season when wet weather makes travel unpredictable and sometimes impossible.
“This will really be that additional stage that’s needed to enhance user safety, strengthen our resilience during wet weather events, and improve accessibility for the community out there,” Mayor Collins said.
The sealing will provide certainty for freight and agricultural transport, ensuring livestock from high-volume cattle areas in the west can move more efficiently and safely.
Mayor Collins said the announcement
reflects years of advocacy by council and local stakeholders.
“We really extend our appreciation to the Crisafulli Government for recognising the importance of additional sealing on the Bowen Developmental Road, and look forward to delivering a fantastic project,” he said.
Council also acknowledged the support of Minister Brent Mickelberg MP and Burdekin MP Dale Last, who have backed the project as part of a broader investment in regional roads.
“This upgrade is a huge win for safety, industry and our Whitsunday rural communities,” Council stated in a recent Face-
book post.
Work is expected to begin following project design and planning, with further announcements to come in the months ahead.
The Crisafulli Government will deliver certainty and restore fairness for commercial and recreational fishers in the Whitsundays and across the state, with a new stock assessment revealing sustainable populations that would support increased catch limits for Spanish mackerel.
This year’s Spanish mackerel stock assessment found the population was now likely to have doubled since the previous assessment, revealing restored populations that would support increased catch limits.
Based on this, the Department Primary Industries has proposed raising the Spanish
mackerel catch limits for both commercial and recreational fishing.
If these proposals are adopted, the recreational boat limit will double from two fish per boat to a maximum of four fish per boat.
For commercial fishers it will see a 51.5 per cent increase with the annual commercial total allowable catch raising from 165 tonnes to 250 tonnes.
The stock assessment for Spanish mackerel is the first conducted since the Crisafulli Government’s overhaul of the former Labor Government’s flawed processes in 2021, which attracted strong criticism from industry, qualified experts and independent reviews.
Existing Spanish mackerel limits will remain in place until the proposed changes are adopted subject to public consultation.
Amanda Camm MP, Member for Whitsunday, has welcomed the proposed increase to recreational and commercial limits.
“The proposed increase in the commercial catch limit represents approx-
imately $3.5 million in gross value of production to the Queensland economy, that’s extra money that will circulate through our coastal communities,” Amanda Camm said.
“Spanish mackerel is a favorite in our local fish and chip shops, and this announcement is a step in the right direction toward supporting not only our local commercial fishers but also our small and family businesses that supply fish or support recreational fishers.”
Matthew Calder, owner of FISHI Whitsundays, said the proposed increase is a positive move forward for Queensland’s commercial fishers and the seafood consumers we represent.
“We need to keep pushing, with the help of the LNP Crisafulli Government, and put Australian Seafood first,” he said.
Public consultation will be announced in due course, with the proposed changes intended to take effect by the end of the year.
Ais set to bring songs from her entire discography including her first and second albums, and maybe even some hit songs from the feature film The Sapphires, plus a range of her newer music.
Her newest song ‘While I Got Time’, featured as Irene Robert’s farewell on Home and Away, and Mauboy said the brief she was given from her publisher was inspiring.
“She says to me, I’ve got dot points that the third party have sent over and they would love you to write a song about your loved ones. what it’s like if you were to venture out and leave, what would you leave behind? What kind of legacy would you like to leave behind? A song about in-depth reflection about life. And so, I did that.”
“The intentional production was very intimate and just little harmonies here and there, just to kind of hear the guitar play, the emotions of the lyrics and the voice, is what we wanted.
“I’ve never been a part of a project like that in my life. So this was really unexpected, but such a really warm project and sincere experience I’ve never been a part of.”
Mauboy is also fresh off being inducted into the National Indigenous Music Awards (NIMA) Hall of Fame.
“I think having grown up in Darwin and the Northern Territory, to receive an award in my hometown that I love so dearly, to be presented that by my own community and my elders and people who I admire in at the NIMA’s, I was really in disbelief,” she said.
“I stand with the award with pride and honour.”
Mauboy is also keen to support local initiatives like Passport to Airlie, which gives emerging musicians the chance to perform at future Airlie Beach Festival of Music events.
“Our local stages are so important, so, we need to take care of them, we need to nurture them. As much as the big stages outside are amazing. You always remember the beginning of it and I still remember my first stage,” she said.
“The one thing I would say is learn from that experience. Learn from the stages. Learn from the people who build the stages from ground, and who create the festivals and take care of them.”
What started as a glorious day on a tropical island took a serious turn for BMA CQ Rescue’s patient today.
The patient experienced cardiac distress while on Daydream Island, and the helicopter was called to provide the urgent medical care they needed.
Normally, a routine landing occurs on the helipad at Daydream Island, but this time the BMA CQ Rescue team had to be winched down to the patient. Once the patient was stabilised, both the medical team and the patient were winched back up to the helicopter.
With everyone safely back on board, the
chopper headed for Mackay, where further medical care awaited.
The winching operation was required as the helipad is currently under repair. When asked about the helipad, BMA CQ Rescue CEO Tim Healee said, “The Daydream Island helipad is currently closed for repair. BMA CQ Rescue and Daydream Island are actively working together to build a new helipad that is purpose-built for our AW139 helicopters.”
“We thank Daydream Island for their proactive approach to ensuring we can offer critical care to their island guests and staff and for their commitment to the new helipad.”
Proserpine-born actor Connor Hawkins is set to return to his hometown next month for a debut performance of Tom Paine: Based on Nothing, an intense, thought-provoking one-man show that promises to push both performer and audience out of their comfort zones.
Written by acclaimed playwright Will Eno, the 75-minute monologue is described as “stand-up existentialism” and a stream of consciousness dialogue through life’s rawest moments: life, love, childhood and mortality.
Connor describes the show as its title.
“The titles says it’s based on nothing, and it definitely leans into that,” added Connor. Connor has performed in numerous productions, but this is the first time he will perform a monologue-type script.
“It’s probably going to be the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my acting career,” Connor said.
“I needed something to test me, but also to prove to myself that I could do it.
“Once I get through that first performance, it’ll be like a monkey off my shoulders, and I will feel pretty good after that.”
Connor, who grew up between Proserpine and Airlie Beach, first discovered his love for theatre in high school drama classes, later building a career across stage and screen. Bringing this production home, he says, is particularly special.
Tom Paine: Based on Nothing will be performed at the Proserpine Entertainment Centre on Friday, September 12.

The Whitsunday Coast Chamber of Commerce brought local businesses together last week for a practical and engaging session on the art of networking, emphasising how the right connections can fuel both personal and professional growth.
The event, hosted by The Whitsunday Coast Chamber of Commerce and Kath Barker of Compass Realty Whitsunday, was built around a simple but powerful idea: networking isn’t just about exchanging business cards it’s about building trusted relationships.
Chamber Liaison Dr Julia Evans highlighted that an effective network can be operational by providing people who help you execute, strategic by surrounding yourself with peers who help you think and aspirational by being with those who inspire you to grow.
Throughout the event, members explored both the features and benefits of networking. On a practical level, networking allows business owners to connect with peers, industry leaders, and potential collaborators, while sharing knowledge, market insights, and best practices. It also provides access to valuable resources, from funding opportunities to support services, and increases visibility within the community. The benefits flow directly back into businesses, creating opportunities for growth, mentorship, and stronger collaboration
across the region.
A key takeaway was understanding your reputation and knowing your relevance. To strengthen both reputation and relevance, focus on advocacy by being clear about what you stand for, marketing yourself to communicate your expertise effectively, continually learning and staying visible through education and events, building meaningful networks, and ensuring operations— following through on commitments and taking consistent action.
Many members shared that networking is the key to securing most of their work. By simply talking about what their business offers, they open the door for others to connect them with opportunities because in a small town, people are always willing to help one another.
The session delved into the importance of reputation and relevance, reminding members that how they show up, treat others, and deliver results is what builds trust. Both Julia and Kath shared horror story experiences of networking, and the don’ts for hosting your own networking event.
Attendees were asked to consider the unique strengths they bring to the table, whether it be hard-won skills, results achieved for others, or challenges they
have personally overcome. These reflections formed the foundation for participants to craft their own elevator pitches. Concise introductions designed to clearly convey who they are, who they help, the problems they solve, and what makes them different.
To ensure the momentum continues beyond the session, the Chamber encouraged participants to take small but meaningful follow-up actions. Suggestions included sending a personalised video or voice note, arranging coffee catch-ups,
swapping email addresses, sharing curated resources, or even hosting mini masterminds. These simple gestures, are what turn initial meetings into lasting professional relationships.
The underlying message of the day was clear, networking is not a one-off event but an ongoing practice. By intentionally building connections, local business owners can position themselves for long-term success while also strengthening the Whitsunday region’s economic fabric.
Monday the 18th August through to Friday 22nd August is Queensland Road Safety Week. A week dedicated in Queensland for sending a message for all road users about the choices they make could save a life or take one.
Police across the State are asking road users to pause and reflect on how they drive ride walk or use our roads. Like my previous article road safety is a shared responsibility, whether you are a driver, passenger or pedestrian. One poor decision can lead to life long consequences so this week we are asking everyone to drive smart and stay safe for your family, your mates and every Queenslander.
Queensland Police are committed to reducing the trauma on Queensland roads, but we can’t do that without your help. It’s not just about fatalities. We are seeing a rising number of people left with life changing injuries including spinal damage, traumatic brain injuries and amputations.
This year alone, data from the Motor Accident Insurance Commission (MAIC) shows the number of people left with road crash injuries is increasing, with 3,526 injury claims this year, 262 of those with serious injury, compared to 3,214 the year prior, of which 236 were serious injuries. These are mums, dads, mates
and colleagues whose lives and families will never be the same. All it takes is one moment of distraction one wrong judgement or one tired blink and a life can be shattered.
There is no excuse for getting behind the wheel while impaired by alcohol or drugs. Plan ahead so you can get home safely. Nominate a designated driver. Book a rideshare or taxi. Stay overnight if needed. The safest choice is to plan before you drink not after.
Motorcycle riders, pedestrians, cyclists, e-scooter and e-bike users are among our most vulnerable road users. They have less protection than those in vehicles and are more likely to be seriously hurt in a crash. Actively check for these users, especially when changing lanes. Follow the road rules and be alert of your surroundings at all times.
As of the 18th August 2025, 178 lives have been tragically
lost on Queensland roads this year. Many of these deaths were the result of speeding or dangerous driving. Every life lost is one too many and these high numbers are why we have increased our presence on the roads. If you don’t want to listen to me, listen to the greatest full back to ever play the game of Rugby League.
In local news Whitsunday Station has been busy of late. We’ve seen an increase in anti-social behaviour down the Main Street of Airlie Beach the last couple of weekends. Mostly between the hours 1am and 3am (the time when most people are making their smartest decisions).
Incidents are generally when the licenced venues have closed, and people are waiting for Taxi’s to drive them home. Please can I ask that you be patient with each other. Plan to leave earlier, as I know there is a delay in Taxi services at that time of night. Don’t let your evening be ruined by a trip to the Airlie Beach Hilton with the local Constabulary. But if you do, please leave a positive review.

At Whitsunday Christian College, the journey to Prep begins with Whitsunday Christian College’s Get Ready for Prep Program—playbased mornings that spark curiosity, build early connections, and create a warm first experience of school. Through these sessions, children grow familiar with the school environment, develop early social skills, and become eager to learn.
In Term 4, the focus shifts to Prep Tran sition—a series of Thursday morning sessions from 9.00 to 10.30am designed especially for enrolled 2026 Prep students. These mornings mark an important step in the transition from informal play to a more structured program. Children ex plore their future classrooms, become familiar with the layout and resources, and practise daily routines such as carpet time, group rotations, and learning seg ments, transitioning from one activity to the next.
Through small group activities, students develop independence while strengthen ing fine motor skills, building phonemic awareness, and growing number sense. They also form friendships, connect with their teachers and teacher aides, and grow in confidence navigating the classroom without direct parent involvement.
The term program concludes with a special Orientation Morning, where each child receives a cuddly Prep teddy to bring on their first day, along with a personalised
This week marked an important milestone for our region, as Whitsunday Regional Council signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with James Cook University (JCU). While nothing will change overnight, this partnership is about building the foundations for new opportunities for our young people, our workforce, and our community in the years ahead.
For many in the Whitsundays, pursuing higher education has meant leaving home or missing out altogether. This agreement signals a commitment by Council and JCU to work together over time to improve access to education, support local students, and explore new ways of connecting university opportunities with regional communities like ours.
The MOU sets out a framework for collaboration in areas such as student placements within Council, workforce development, professional training, and research partnerships. These initiatives won’t happen all at once – they will take planning, resources and further discussions – but the agreement ensures we now have a pathway to explore them.
In practice, this could eventually mean
things like students gaining experience with our planning or environmental teams, or research projects that look at local issues like coastal resilience or sustainable tourism. It could also mean professional development opportunities for Council staff and pilot programs that link our schools more closely with a world-class university. What’s important to note is that this is a long-term partnership. The signing of the MOU doesn’t deliver immediate change, but it does position the Whitsundays as a smarter, more connected region. By aligning our local knowledge with JCU’s expertise, we’ll be in a stronger position to advocate for investment, attract innovation, and support opportunities for our community.
I want to thank Vice Chancellor Professor Simon Biggs and his team for their commitment to working with us. Together, we are laying the groundwork for a future where higher education, local government, and community aspirations move forward hand in hand.
The Whitsundays has always been known for its natural beauty. Through partnerships like this, we are steadily working towards a future where it is also known for opportunity, innovation, and learning.
Whitsunday Regional Libraries have recently launched the Social Seniors Whitsunday project, which aims to reduce social isolation amongst older members of our community. As part of the project, ‘Coffee and Chat’ sessions are hosted once a month at Cannonvale and Bowen Library, and once a fortnight at Proserpine Library. These sessions are all about mingling, getting to know one another and coming together to plan for future project events and activities.
For more information, talk to your local Library or head to Whitsunday Regional Libraries website.
Bowen is well represented at the annual Queensland Information Centre’s Association (QICA) conference being held in the Moreton Bay region this week.
Three Bowen Tourism and Business team members are at the conference at Sandstone Point, networking with other information centre staff, exchanging ideas and learning about industry trends.
The annual conference is held at a different location each year and was hosted by Bowen in 2019.
Manager of Bowen Tourism and Business, Leanne Abernethy said there were about 100 accredited Visitor Information Centres in Queensland.
“The annual conference is always a great networking opportunity, and we always come home with new ideas that we can implement,” she said.
This week’s program has included study tours and guest speakers from many stakeholders including the Queensland Tourism Industry Council (QTIC), Tourism and Events Queensland, Caravanning Queensland and Drive Queensland.
Bowen Visitor Information Centre wel-
comed a record number of visitors in the past financial year and has started the new financial year very strongly with another record month in July.
“As our number continue to increase, we like to be up to date with industry trends and visitor expectations,” Leanne said.
“We know the importance of the drive market to our regional economy and the annual conference is a way to connect with other stakeholders so we can continue to improve our services.”
The Whitsundays will host the 2032 Olympic Sailing, and with planning already underway, with detailed master plans in motion future precincts and modern infrastructure will serve the community well beyond the Games.
“Being selected for the Olympics is a launch pad for something bigger,” Mayor Collins stated.
“We’re not just preparing for 2032 – we’re building for the decades to come.”
“The Whitsundays has the passion, the capability, the track record and the picture perfect backdrop.”
Mayor Collins said It’s about investing in upgraded infrastructure that supports growth, building stronger communities that thrive together, and creating improved public spaces where people can connect and enjoy their surroundings. At its core, these changes are designed to deliver a long-term
economic impact, ensuring sustainability and prosperity for generations to come.
The Whitsundays already welcomes over a million visitors, with thousands more arriving daily when cruise ships dock. On any given night, more than 10,000 visitors are accommodated across local venues and tourism providers.
The area also has a proven track record of hosting major events year after year, whether on land or at sea, showcasing its ability to deliver world-class experiences on every front.
The Whitsundays is ready to deliver the Olympic Games in world-class, authentic and unforgettable style.
The Coral Sea Marina Resort Airlie Beach Triathlon’s 25th anniversary was a huge success over the weekend. The event attracted many pro athletes, some of which experienced their first time visiting Airlie Beach and the Whitsundays.
The weekend started on Friday evening with a VIP Meet and Greet emceed by Pete Murray. All pro-athletes on the panel talked about their triathlon experience to date and said it was an absolute honour to be racing in Airlie Beach.
On Saturday the kids triathlon was a show stopping event bringing in a huge crowd of
supporting parents
Meanwhile, the overall Men’s Winner Josh Ferris said he loves that the event is community led.
“It’s a real intimate feeling to be involved in, and I think you don’t get anything like that elsewhere,” expressed Josh.
“We’re lucky enough we get to do it as a profession, but to also have that one on one relationship with the event organisers, with everyone involved, to make the event happen, it’s awesome.
“There are not many sports in the world
where the novices and age groupers get to compete on the same course as the pros and vice versa.
“I think that’s where the camaraderie comes from, we all realise we’re in the exact same boat. We are all doing the exact same course. No one’s any different to anyone else. We’re all equal and I think that’s part of the reason why triathlon is so amazing.”
Women’s Winner Tara Sosinski won by over nine minutes and said it was an honour to participate in the event celebrating it’s 25th year.
“It’s a testament to the race organisers and everyone involved that it has been going on for 25 years, and that each year it keeps growing. I’m really fortunate to be a part of such a great event,” she said.
“A lot of my friends have already asked what dates are for next year and we’re all mapping it into our race calendars for 2026.”
Organisers Michael and Val Kimpton were thrilled with this years’ event and thanked all of their 60 local sponsors.

From ‘mate’ to manager, the hardest transition of all
Let’s be honest – the hardest leadership jump isn’t taking on a new team. It’s leading the one you used to be a part of. Moving from teammate to team-leader sounds simple — you already know the people, the work, and how things get done. But in reality, it’s one of the hardest leadership transitions you’ll ever make.
Doing to Leading: The biggest shift is moving from ‘doing’ to ‘leading’. What you were good at before isn’t what is needed in a leadership role. You now need to set your team up for success before you concentrate on your own day. Before, you measured your success by your own results. Now, your success is in helping others perform at their best. That means stepping back from the “doing” and focusing on the “leading.” Identity. Yesterday you were part of the crew — sharing the banter - today, you’re the one making decisions, setting priorities, and holding people ac-
countable. That’s a big change for you, and an even bigger change for them.
Relationships: Friendships and past dynamics can make it awkward. What once felt natural can now look like favouritism. Some new managers swing too far — becoming overly strict to prove they’re fair — while others avoid tough calls to keep the peace. Both approaches can backfire.
Expectations: Be clear with expectations – what are you expecting of your team-mates, and ask for feedback. What do they expect, or need, from you in this role?
The sweet spot? Be clear, fair, and consistent, while staying approachable and human. Your team needs to see that you’re still you, but you’ve got their back – even when the decisions are tough. Yes, it’s hard. But it’s also one of the most rewarding leadership steps you’ll take.
It’s
Sunday the 7th of September, the annual weekend of high-octane action and spectacular speed demon racing will soon mark it’s seventh year in the region and the community is bursting with excitement and anticipation.
Since its 2019 debut with juts 40 bikes and 30 cars, the daring Don River Dash has grown exponentially into one of North Queensland’s premier off-road racing events. 2024’s race attracted well over 230 bikes, 89 cars, and captivated crowds exceeding 5,000 people, further delivering an estimated $7 million in direct economic benefits to Bowen, Collinsville, and the greater Whitsunday Shire. Competitors and spectators alike travel from across the state and beyond each year to fill motels, cafes, pubs and more to explore the region’s many attractions, and this year, Don River Dash organisers hope the event will attract more visitors than ever before.
A unique course unlike other off-road races in Australia, the Don River Dash sees competitors tackle a challenging 50-kilometre loop along the dry Don River bed; 25 kilometres upstream on the southern bank before navigating their way back along the northern side. Sand, rocks, jumps, and unpredictable terrain test even the most experienced drivers and riders and the course is completed three times on both Saturday and Sunday, totalling 300 gruelling kilometres. With the riverbed changing each year, and occasional rainfall adding wet surprises, no two races are ever the same.
The Don River Dash has been recognised as one of the best off-road races on the East Coast, drawing trophy trucks, buggies, and modified racers alongside hundreds of bike riders. Behind the scenes, around 200 volunteers work tirelessly on every aspect of the event, from track construction and recovery to logistics and safety. Their dedication has helped cement the Dash as a hallmark event for the Whitsundays, showcasing not just the region’s spectacular inland landscapes but also its warm hospitality and community spirit.
The 2025 edition promises to be the biggest yet. With competitors from across the country already signalling their intent to take part, the question on everyone’s mind is who will be crowned King or Queen of the River. Past champions, including multiple-time winner Liam Walsh, have set a high bar, but the ever-changing course means anything can happen over two intense days of racing. Mark your calendar for the 5th to the 7th of September and get ready to experience the dust, the speed, and the energy of the Don River Dash!

The dangers that drivers face on the Bruce Highway north and south of Bowen are well known to locals, but Member for Burdekin, Dale Last MP, has shared a personal story to highlight a key safety factor during Road Safety Week.
As a former Police Officer, Mr Last has seen more than his share of incidents firsthand but there is one that is burnt into his memory.
“Late at night on May 15th 1998, my partner and I came across a car that had rolled,” he said. “The wheels of the car were still spinning when we stopped and inside Raymond, the sole occupant, was trapped with the seat belt across his neck, restricting his breathing.”
“Fortunately, we were able to save Raymond’s life, but he was left with a permanent brain injury and years of intensive rehabilitation. Raymond spent years helping to educate young drivers through the Rotary Youth Driver Awareness, or RYDA, programs, with a special focus on driving with the right attitude.”
“Road conditions are an important part of road safety and that’s the reason why the government’s $9 Billion Bruce Highway Safety Package is so important. But driver behaviour is the largest contributor to incidents that took 302 lives last year and left thousands more with lifelong injuries.”
“The fact is that the Fatal Five behaviours of speeding, distraction, drink and drug driving, incorrect seatbelt use, and fatigue are involved in almost all serious and fatal
caregivers are well placed to make a massive difference when it comes to reducing the road toll.”
“Young drivers especially need to understand that a split-second decision can not only take lives, but it can take away their dreams. As the people who are teaching younger people to drive, or supervising them as they practice, we need to focus on ensuring those young people understand the importance of taking the right attitude to driving.”
Mr Last said that driving down the road toll would take a joint effort and welcomed the government’s ‘One Team Queensland’ initiative.
“Regardless of the sport, Queenslanders are passionate and loyal supporters,” he said. “In order the end the carnage on our roads, we all need to be on the same team and we all need to play our part.”
“The Crisafulli state government’s investment into road safety, and securing increased funding from the federal government, proves we are playing our part, but we need Queenslanders to join the fight. We stand by our footy team through good times and bad and we need to stand by our fellow road users to save lives.”
“Similarly to Raymond, State of Origin legend Billy Slater is calling on drivers to drive with the right attitude, to show some patience and to have respect for other road users. The direct result of people taking that advice would be a drastic reduction in fatalities and less people like Raymond
Barbara Eleanor Atkin and twin brother, Walter, were born in Alexandria, Egypt in 1907. The family, which included a sister, Mary, lived in Egypt until Barbara was eleven when they moved to the Manchester area in England.
Most of Barbara’s education was at Merchant Taylor’s School for Girls in Manchester and at the age of twenty-one, she sailed for Australia on the “Hobson’s Bay”, arriving in Brisbane in March 1928. She enrolled at the Teacher’s College in Turbot Street in a short course designed to put teachers into one-teacher schools throughout Queensland. To help support herself, she tutored others who were having trouble with the course.
It was a great day for the school, when in 1929, Miss Atkin began teaching at the Strathdickie State School, a school with mostly all boys at that time. No one wanted to board the “Pommie” teacher, but Mr and Mrs J B Lewis came to the rescue. She became part of their family. Requiring transport, the Lewis children taught her how to ride a horse. Despite a ‘buster’ or
Barbara’s kind disposition and willingness to help her pupils and school were appreciated and she worked well with the school committee. In the school room, two things were enjoyed by the children - her keeping strictly to the timetable for lessons and recess and her reluctance to use the cane, so different from how it had been previously. Some boys who had trouble with formal learning were put to work in the garden. She must have been on the right track as they became successful farmers in later years. Some children were taught by Miss Atkin for all their school years.
One day, a strange man arrived at the gate and Barbara greeted him affectionately. Excitedly, the kids all whispered, “Teacher’s got a boyfriend!” However, teachers are knowing people and when Miss Atkin returned to the classroom she announced, “Just in case you are wondering, that was my twin brother, out from England!”
Friday afternoons, Barbara and the teacher from the Lower Gregory School, Miss Pacey, often rode out on their horses and met half way along the road between their schools to discuss the week’s work – such

Barbara joined in the social life of the district. She was a good tennis player, at weekends joining in the district’s competitions. Each Tuesday, she played bridge with neighbours, the Jordans and on Thursdays carried her gramophone and records over to Hinschen’s home, so all could enjoy a musical evening.
Barbara taught at Strathdickie School until 1937 when she resigned to marry station hand, Jim Wright. They initially lived on a farm in Wright Road, Strathdickie before moving into Proserpine, rearing five daughters and one son. Barbara sewed all their clothes and provided healthy meals despite money being tight at times.
In 1962, Barbara was appointed as the very first lay teacher at St Catherine’s School, fulfilling this position for some years. She also tutored high school students in English and Maths - dedicated to assisting students both in the classroom and after school hours.
A captain in the Girl Guide Movement for many years, Barbara arranged Friday night dances for school children at the Diggers’ Hall. These were very well
attended and much fun. Barbara always rode a bike, so bike-hikes were another guiding activity she encouraged, often to Perske’s Crossing at the river.
One of her friends once said of her, “Anyone who went to Barbara with a problem came away feeling better about it, even it wasn’t solved.”

If you’re looking for a light-hearted escape filled with laughs, family drama and a touch of chaos, Freakier Friday is a film worth putting on your calendar. A modern twist on the beloved body-swap comedy, this latest version delivers all the humour and heart audiences expect while introducing fresh quirks to keep things entertaining.

What begins as a recipe for disaster soon evolves into a heartfelt exploration of empathy, communication and the bond between generations. Expect plenty of laugh-outloud moments as the characters navigate each other’s wildly different daily routines, along with the inevitable cringe-worthy situations that come with living someone else’s life.

From New Line Cinema and Zach Cregger, the wholly original mind behind Barbarian, comes a new horror/ thriller: Weapons.
When all but one child from the same class mysteriously vanish on the same night at exactly the same time, a community is left questioning who or what is behind their disappearance.
An unparallel showcase of epic 80s and 90s rock n’ roll anthems will ignite the Airlie Beach Hotel for one weekend and one weekend only for two mighty FREE shows on Saturday the 6th and Sunday the 7th of September.
A Father’s Day special event, the powerhouse vocals of Shaleena Bain, Tara Graham and Adam Spizzo will have audiences singing along to the most nostalgic tunes from iconic artists including Guns & Roses, Whitesnake, Bon Jovi, Ozzy Osbourne, Def Leppaard, AC/DC, Aerosmith, Motley Crue, KISS and more!
Set to run from 2pm through until 5:30pm across both afternoons, the Big Stadium Rock Show exists as just one of Melanie Evans’ most successful smash hit productions and under the direction of Maureen
Bowra and Tommy Hynes, audiences are sure to be in for the treat of a lifetime.
The Big Stadium Rock Show artfully recreates the iconic sounds of one of the most worshiped eras of live music to leave audiences begging for an encore after encore. Alongside the talented trio of experienced vocalists, the Airlie Beach Hotel stage will become a hive of heavy classics with the sounds of a live rock band transporting audiences to a world submerged in the theatrics of the 80s and 90s across the entire duration of the roof raising performance.
Directly from the stages of some of the nation’s biggest theatres, the Big Stadium Rock Show’s Airlie Beach Hotel debut certainly will be one for the record books and joins a long list of celebrated Wild Goat Entertainment productions. Although the
production itself is yet to grace the Whitsunday shoreline, Shaleena Bain and Tara Graham are no strangers to the region and have previously rocked the house down in years gone by in both tribute shows and memorable rock performances.
Table bookings for both afternoons can be made online now at airliebeachhotel.com. au and with limited seating available, you should get in quick!
If you’re a lover of all things classic rock n’ roll, the Airlie Beach Hotel promises you’ll love the Big Stadium Rock Show!

Asparkling Queensland winter’s day gently opened the starting gate for the 40th Hamilton Island Race Week, presented by AMEX, on-water program.
The Dent Passage starters spent the morning ashore in postponement drinking coffee and chatting and the Eastern starters bobbed around under beautiful sunshine for a couple of hours, as humpback whales played freely nearby. Sailing can be a waiting game - sailors are accustomed to it - it’s one of the reasons they are generally relaxed at all levels of the sport.
Shortened courses accommodated the later start times, a light NNW - ESE breeze in Dent Passage off Hamilton Island Yacht Club enough to get Rating, Super 40, Hamilton Island Blue and Multihull Racing divisions underway.
Ron Epstein’s JPK1180 Bacchanal nabbed a first race win in Rating division 2 with his mixed team sailing for the Corinthian Yacht Club of San Francisco California and the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia.
“Half our crew are Californians who hadn’t seen the boat until two days ago,” Epstein said.
“Our goal is to have a blast and sail well. We’ve started the week off the right way points-wise; the good news is there’s a lot we can do better. This is an incredible place to sail. There was a moment today when my main trimmer Shane took the wheel, to make sure I looked around.”
Andrew McInnes owns one of three trailer yachts transported to the Whitsundays from Ballina on the NSW North Coast.
The crew of McInnes’ Seascape 25se Alfina took the racing delay out at Eastern in their stride, practicing and even grabbing a snooze before racking up for a start around 1.30pm.
“It was a good shakedown race,” McInnes said. “We had new people in the boat, so the light breeze was great for us,” the owner said.
The Palm Beach Motor Yachts Trans-Tasman 49er Exhibition Series also commenced today as part of the 40th anniversary Race Week. Thirteen Olympic skiffs pitted Australia and New Zealand against one another over three races, with three more tomorrow and Tuesday August 19 and a final double points race.
The Whitsunday Game Fish Club’s Airlie Beach Tackle World-sponsored Billfish and Tuna Rally is set for the 13th and 14th of September, and it promises to be a busy weekend with excellent numbers of Sailfish, Juvenile Black Marlin, Mackerel, and Tuna around this season.
The event kicks off with a briefing and angler registration on Thursday, 11th September at 6 pm at the club on Altmann Avenue, Cannonvale. The rally is free and open to all club members.
Fishing takes place on Saturday, 13th, and Sunday, 14th, with a social raft-up at Stonehaven Anchorage on Saturday night for those boats choosing to stay out. All
activities, sheers, tag cards, and any fish to be weighed for rally or club points must be at the club by 4 pm on Sunday, 14th, to allow the presentation of some great prizes at 5 pm. Full details will be explained at the briefing.
Don’t miss this one—it promises to be an exciting weekend! We thank Sam and the team at AB Tackle World for their support. Also, mark your calendar for the bait and lure rigging and information workshop on Wednesday, 3rd September at 6 pm at the club. This workshop is packed with helpful tips on rigging troll baits using circle and J hooks, tackle setup, locating various species, and other useful ideas for anglers of all levels.
Everyone is welcome. The bar and sausage sizzle will open from 6 pm, and club membership forms will be available for anyone interested in joining a club where the whole family can enjoy fresh-air sport— no PlayStation or Gameboy required.
Finally, a special congratulations to club member Jasmin Smith for winning Queensland Champion Junior Female Angler at the recent QGFA Annual Awards. A fantastic achievement!
All our juniors performed admirably throughout the year and are already off to a strong start with some very impressive catches.

Saturday night saw Whitsunday Sea Eagles Senior Men and Women representatives head to Mackay for the Senior AFLQ Mackay League Awards. A great night was had by all, with Sea Eagles representing in all major categories of the night.
Jake Turner made a late comeback to take out Senior Men AFLQ Mackay League Best and Fairest, with Sea Eagles’ Aidan Allen-Fancke closely on his heels, taking out Runner-up Best and Fairest.
Doubling down on Whitsunday Sea Eagles’ success, the Senior Women also had an outstanding night. Steph Griffiths brought home the AFLQ Mackay League Best and Fairest for the Women in what has been an amazing season for the Sea Eagles.
Both Jake Turner and Steph Griffiths were also named “2025 Team of the Year” Captains, joined in the teams by Chloe Bennett, Summer Hagy, Aidan Allen-Fancke, Brayden Wall, and Eden Wishart.
Whitsunday Sportspark saw AFL finals happen last Sunday for the first time in many years. Junior Elimination Finals had all 3 Sea Eagles Junior teams represented—with U13s, U15s, and U17s. Unfortunately, it wasn’t to be Sea Eagles’ day, and Juniors now round up their sea-
son. The Club is so proud of the Junior teams, including the Under 17s, who created a team for the season from a handful of players and then proceeded on to play finals.
To see League Award winners in action, head to Whitsunday Sportspark this Sunday 24th August, where Sea Eagles are hosting Senior Elimination Finals. Showcasing some cracking games: Sea Eagles Senior Women take on Moranbah Bulldogs at 12:40pm, and Senior Men line up against Bakers Creek Tigers at 2:10pm, with Reserves from 11am. Up there Eagles!
In a great round of football, Whitsunday United maintained a clean sheet with not a single goal scored against any side! Unfortunately, the weekend was marred by multiple forfeits of our home games by Mackay clubs with our Div2 Men, U14 and U13 Div1 players all missing out on games.
The Div men hosted wanderers on Friday night eager to gain momentum at the end of the league season. Div 2 received a late forfeit win which helps the cause but was a missed opportunity to build for possible finals football.
Div 1 took on a in-form Wanderers side who have almost been scoring at will. The first half was tight with possession mostly with WUFC and wanderers playing on the counter. A mix up by their keeper gave us the lead before an unstoppable shot from Jake made things a bit more comfortable at half time. The second half was frantic for 15 minutes, wanderers battling to get back in but the defence kept them at bay leading to the WUFC attack running riot. 5 goals followed from some high pressing and quality in front of goal for a final 7-0 scoreline. A big confidence boost ahead of next week’s game which is looking to be the league decider
WUFC U13 Prems battled to a determined 1-0 victory over Mackay Rangers at Mackay Football Park in a tense and hard-fought contest. The first half was a tight affair with few clear chances, as both teams defended strongly to head into the break locked at 0-0. The second half followed a similar pattern, though both sides began to create more opportunities. With about 15 minutes to play, Nelson M broke the deadlock for WUFC. From there, WUFC dug deep, holding their advantage until full time to secure a memorable win — their first for the season against Rangers. The result keeps the league title race alive and highlights the team’s resilience and fighting spirit.
The Whitsunday U15/16 continued the good form building confidence as the finals approach. A strong 4-0 victory over Lions Gold was a confidence building win as the team sits in 4 position on the table
Whitsunday Women’s brilliant team spirit shone in a commanding 7–0 away win over City Brothers. Michelle opened the scoring with a well-earned goal before Bre doubled the lead and a deflected own goal from another Michelle strike made it 3–0 at half-time. The second half
brought a flurry of goals, with Karlee firing a screamer from distance, Bre curling in her second, Sarah adding a sixth, and Kiki finishing smartly to round out the victory. A dominant display with a pleasing variety of goals from across the team.
Whitsunday FQPL U23 Men faced tough opposition against Lions FC in must win games to keep top 2 dreams alive. Reserve grade came in with full confidence after an array of victories, however the game was a tight affair. A 1 nil win ensued with a decisive strike from Cialan Dollard ensuring all 3 points came home. In premier league, Lions were top of the table, and deservedly so, being the most consistent team all year. Whitsunday came out with a great attitude and scores were deadlocked at half time. A penalty from Sean McCarthy and a great strike from Reef Peel gave Whitsunday United a much needed 2 nil victory and now the top 3 positions in the premiership are separated by just two points. With two games to go, this Sunday’s game against the new top of the table Magpies is going to be a nail biter!

The Airlie Beach Triathlon Festival was buzzing with energy last weekend, and the Cannonvale Cannons were right in the thick of it, showing their strength both in the water and on land.
Saturday’s Junior Triathlon saw a strong turnout from our young Cannons, with Lucas Korosec, Zavier and Caleb Woolston, Lily Woolston, River and Penelope Shields, Sophie Palmero, Pippa Laguna and Finn Temple all giving their best in their respective age groups. A special congratulations goes to Lucas Korosec, who was the first individual triathlete across the line in the 8–10 years age category — a fantastic achievement.
Not content with just one event, Lucas, River and Penelope then backed up to compete in the 300-metre open water swim. The trio exited the water in close succession, finishing second, third and fourth overall. Roxanne Groom also took on her first open water competition in the 750-metre swim, storming home in first place with an impressive time of 9:36.
On Sunday, attention turned to the triathlon events. Roxanne Groom, Matilda Nicholes and Gracie Laguna all represented the club with grit and determination.
Matilda shone in the Enticer Triathlon, finishing as the third female across the line, while Gracie followed closely as the fifth female finisher. In the Sprint Triathlon, Roxanne proudly represented the club as the swim leg in her team, whilst Cannons dad Bruce Laguna also made his mark, winning his age group and placing as the fourth male overall.
The weekend wouldn’t have been possible without the dedication of volunteers. A huge thank you goes to Mark and Raylene for lending their time as lifesavers across multiple
events, and to all the families who manned the barbecue on Sunday, raising funds to support the club while keeping hungry athletes fuelled.
The Port Denison Gun Club’s two-day annual shoot on July 26–27 attracted a strong field of 64 competitors from across Australia, including visitors from Tasmania, Victoria, Brisbane, Clermont, Dysart, Mackay/Sarina, the Burdekin, Townsville and Charters Towers.
Caravans began arriving from Wednesday, and by Friday the grounds were almost full. The weekend offered great competition, friendly rivalry, and a warm country welcome — complete with hearty meals from Kerry and Cheryl in the kitchen, a Friday night BBQ, and a roast dinner on Saturday.
Saturday dawned sunny and clear
with only a light breeze — rare for “Blowin’ Bowen.” Despite the favourable conditions, only 12 possibles were recorded across the day. Joe Sebastiani shot the only possible in the 30T Medley (Event 1) to take the overall win, while Joe Caruso claimed the Port Denison Championship (Event 2) with a perfect 111/111. Michael Zabala was the standout of the day, taking the Double Barrel Championship (Event 3) with 100/100 and securing the Overall High Gun with 246/250.
Sunday began with light showers before clearing to another fine day. Nick Munro claimed the DB Continental (Event 4) with 68/68, while Peter

This weekend the Under 200s, sponsored by the Metropole Hotel, Proserpine Bowls Club and Cane Country Tyres, was held in absolutely perfect weather conditions. Players from Marian, Souths Suburban, Northern Beaches, Airlie Beach, Giru, Ingham and Proserpine came to put in their best games of competitive bowls in the quest to win this event and have their names etched into the trophy.
Before I get on to the results, we’d like to thank all those people who made this event possible and such a success.
Our loyal sponsors: Metropole Hotel, Proserpine Bowls Club and Cane Country Tyres. The players who nominate and travel for this event every year. We were a little down on previous years in numbers, but we are sure that some who didn’t take up their invitations this year will have others who will jump at the opportunity to maybe get an invitation in 2026.
We thank Andrew Bell and David Ling and all who assist them in the maintenance and preparation of the green. A lot of work has gone into the surface over the last couple of years to bring it up to the
condition that it is in, in terms of running speed and trueness of line. This is being consistently worked on, and the results of all the knowledge, effort and improvement plans are beginning to show.
We thank Bruce Uhe for having all the catering plans in place for the weekend and those who offered to assist and then stepped up to put plans into place when Bruce was ill. Thank you Ken Watts, Henny Tattam, Lee King, Arthur Griffith, Alen Sanderson, Philip Brown. Also, thanks to Betty Petersen and Jo Inch who were visiting with players and, as always, assisted. We thank Trevor Parsons who cooked the BBQ on Saturday and Dale Haack who stocked the bar and cooked Sunday morning breakfast.
We thank Maryann Harrigan who once again gave up time to assist in the bar when needed and sold a mountain of raffle tickets for us. Also, Tammy our bar staff for the weekend, and all who jumped in to assist when needed and who did the late hours and closing up.
Thank you to all of our Board Committee who worked behind the scenes to plan and make this event the success that it was.
Winners of this year’s Under 200s were the Airlie Beach team of John Matterson, Peter Barrett, John Fielding and Warren Mills with 5 Wins plus 47. Warren also won the Major Raffle, taking home a $750 Bowlers Paradise Gift Voucher. Runners-up were a Proserpine team of Kendall Watts, David Ling, Dale Haack and Shane Kinnear with 5 Wins plus 41. Third place was a Souths Suburban/Proserpine team of David Peet, Sam Lurton, Grahame Kinnear and Peter
Blackburn. Fourth was a Proserpine/Bowen/Sydney team of Gus Munro, Nathan Dodds, Jonathan Bye and Scott Hamilton. Round winners were Manny Isgro, Chubby Leather, Peter Blackburn, Shane Spann and Barry Saroglia.
Social bowls from Wednesday: Alen Sanderson and Heather Brown defeated Arthur Griffith and Mike Harrison 28–27; Henny Tattam and Philip Brown defeated John Anderson and Sandy Daffara 24–21.
It was another fantastic week of bowling at the Airlie Beach Bowls Club, with the all-weather dome ensuring plenty of action on the greens.
On Wednesday, sixteen players took part in social bowls. The standout pairing of Warren “Wazza” Wilson and Arthur McManus claimed a convincing 33–11 win over Barry Wainwright and Tony Kelly. Sunday saw twenty-eight bowlers take to the green, where Tony Kelly bounced back in style, teaming with Robin Brown and Ken McAllister to record a commanding 36–11 victory.
In ladies’ competition, club pairs champions Betty Nicolle and Ladda Purdie narrowly missed out on the Champion of Champions title at Seaforth, falling to South Suburban by a single shot in a tie-breaker. Meanwhile, the ladies’ triples champions—Carol Crosbie, Joan McGrath, and Betty Nicolle—claimed
a thrilling win at Marian, edging out North Mackay by one shot. Trailing by four shots on the 20th end, the trio staged a remarkable comeback to pick up five shots on the final end and secure victory.
Airlie Beach was also well represented in the Proserpine Under-200’s Men’s event across the 16th and 17th of August. The winning side came from Airlie, with John “Matto” Matterson, John Fielding, Peter Barrett, and skip Warren “Millsie” Mills lifting the title.
The Saturday Scroungers final will be played on the 20th of August, with thanks extended to John Askew for his efforts in coordinating this muchloved weekly competition.
The club also expressed gratitude to the many members and friends who have been working hard behind the scenes to prepare the surrounds of the green ahead of the October Men’s Carnival.
