Independently Owned, Locally Grown, Community Loved
With sunshine returning and numbers swelled by visiting runners, last weekend was a lively one on the Palm Creek course. I also took the opportunity to catch up with Bridgette Duffy, who recently reached an incredible milestone, of dedicating 200 of her Parkruns to volunteering. A true triple threat, that morning Bridgette marked the day as Run Director, Event Day Course Check and Volunteer Co-ordinator, highlighting the dedication and love she felt for the community fitness event “I’m pretty pleased,” Bridgette said. “I’m happy to be able to help the community, and it’s a good cause, getting people out, seeing them running, and starting their weekend off beautifully.” Her passion for Parkrun is evident when asked why she took up volunteering at them. “I like running for starters,” she said, “but I just think it’s great for our community to have an event where families can come too. It’s a great way to get fit and healthy for everybody, and it’s just a really nice community event.” Bridgette’s volunteer journey began back at the original TYTO course in Ingham, before the course was relocated to Palm Creek. “That’s when I started my volunteer journey with Parkrun. I just thought, ‘I like to come to Parkrun, and we all need volunteers to help out and keep it going. If we don’t put our hands up, nobody else is going to, you can’t expect anybody else to’." When asked about her favourite events, Bridgette said Palm Creek holds a special place. “I love this one, probably of all the ones I’ve done. I really liked Yeppoon, it was a lovely Parkrun, but I haven’t done too many different ones.” As the wind picked up, and the last people were crossing the finish line, I asked if she had any bucket list Parkruns she wanted to try, and for future plans, she smiled saying that she doesn’t have a specific one in mind but would “love to do one overseas.” Parkrun Results: 28th March 2026 Palm Creek #118 – 31 participants Fastest time: Julian Lee (18:53) Final finisher: Julie Mac Pherson (56:46) PBs: Carter Hague (18:59), Matthew Turner (28:06), Todd Cockburn (28:37), Sophie Parker (29:40), Kira Turner (34:26) First-timers: Jackson Mathews (23:37), Darcy Toholke (23:47), Sheridan Davis (56:44) Volunteers: Bridgette Duffy, Amanda Towner, Donna Panzenbock, Matteo Mancuso, Julie Mac Pherson Cardwell #380 – 19 participants Fastest time: Luke Tamblyn (22:26) Final finisher: Graeme Lake (53:54) PBs: Bruce Boland (40:36) First-timers: Liam Matthews (23:20), Steve Upton (25:58), Jacqui Lefebvre (34:00), Chris Page (38:52), Astrid Clancy (44:46), Brendan Clancy (46:19), Sue Patch (53:33) Volunteers: Kerry Snell, Luke Tamblyn, Jan Ferguson, Terry Curtin, Graeme Lake, Anita Davina

A major upgrade to the Reef Ranger is set to strengthen protection efforts across the Great Barrier Reef, following a $2.9 million refit delivered by the Australian and Queensland governments. The vessel, a key asset for marine park operations since 2014, supports multi-day field trips, scientific research, compliance patrols and partnerships with Traditional Owners across remote reef and island locations. The refit introduces a range of innovative, eco-friendly upgrades designed to improve efficiency while reducing environmental impact. Among the changes are new propulsion engines capable of running on oil derived from waste cooking oils, alongside a hybrid solar and battery power system to cut reliance on diesel. Additional improvements, including a specialised silicone-based hull coating, are expected to reduce fuel use and emissions, allowing the vessel to operate more sustainably across its extensive patrol area. Queensland Environment and Tourism Minister Andrew Powell said the vessel had long been central to reef operations. “The Reef Ranger has carried rangers and researchers to some of the most iconic places in the Great Barrier Reef, places like Raine Island, Wuthara and Hinchinbrook, helping communities protect the reef we all care about,” he said. With the latest upgrades now complete, the Reef Ranger will continue its critical role in safeguarding one of the world’s most important natural ecosystems.

By Steve Whipps, Commander Qf14 Lucinda Coast Guard A couple and their young child from Townsville got into a spot of bother last week when on the way back from Bramble Reef after a day’s fishing, they lost all steering on their alloy boat. A radio call to Coast Guard Townsville resulted in the team at Coast Guard Lucinda being notified of the situation, and a volunteer rescue crew was activated. The rescue vessel “Snow Stafford”, manned by four crew members, and with a Radio Operator at the base, was launched in quick time and headed out to sea. Thankfully the sea was calm, and the distressed vessel was quickly located about 15 kilometres northeast of Pelorus Island. A tow line was attached, the return trip was completed without incident, and three people were very glad to be safely ashore.

New Car, Old Meals On Wheels Charm Ingham Meals on Wheels is hitting the road in style, with a brand new vehicle set to support the volunteers who have long been the backbone of the service. The new Mazda CX-5 was made possible through funding from the Herbert River RSL Sub Branch, purchased locally through Ingham Mazda, and finished with professional signage by Global Signage, showcasing a strong show of community support. “For more than four decades, Meals on Wheels volunteers in Ingham quietly used their own vehicles to ensure meals reached those in need,” Rodger Bow said. “Recognising the strain this placed on volunteers, the decision was made that it was time to provide a dedicated vehicle.” Ingham Mazda’s Jenna Devietti said supporting the initiative was a natural fit. “We’re proud to be part of the Ingham community, so supporting organisations like Ingham Meals on Wheels is something that’s genuinely important to us,” she said. “The work they do goes far beyond delivering meals — they provide care, connection, and daily support.” To ensure the vehicle remains on the road, Ingham Mazda has also committed to five years of free servicing. “We wanted our support to be practical and ongoing, rather than a one-time gesture,” Ms Devietti said. Meals on Wheels President Rita Phillips said the donation was deeply appreciated. “At times the support that we receive is overwhelming,” she said. “Since 1983 volunteers have used their own vehicles at their own expense.” Ms Phillips said the new vehicle would ease pressure on volunteers while strengthening service delivery. “In the current economic time, this vehicle will not only assist the volunteers to continue deliveries, but also helps keep the connection of our clients to the community,” she said. “This vehicle will reduce use of the volunteers’ vehicles, which includes longer runs that include Halifax and the beaches.” “Our new Mazda will provide continuity of deliveries to all who rely on Ingham Meals on Wheels.” While the vehicle is new, the heart of the service remains unchanged. “We are so privileged to live in a community with such generosity, not only monetarily, but also selflessly volunteering their valuable time,” Ms Phillips said. “All members of our community should be proud to live in the Herbert River Valley.”

WHY CLEANING UP YOUR YARD MATTERS THIS STORM SEASON
Living in North Queensland means we know how quickly the weather can turn. One minute it’s blue skies, the next it’s strong winds and heavy rain.
As we head into the summer storm season, now is the time to take a good look around your yard and ask: What could become a flying hazard in a cyclone or a severe storm?
Loose items such as outdoor furniture, barbeques, bikes, and even garden tools can turn into dangerous projectiles when the wind picks up.
These aren’t just a risk to your property, they can damage your neighbour’s home or injure someone.
A simple clean-up now can save you, your home and your neighbourhood a lot of stress later.
To make it easier, Council is offering two free Storm Season Clean Up Disposal Days at Warrens Hill Landfill and Resource Recovery Centre and Halifax Resource Recovery Centre on Saturday, 13th December and Saturday, 20th December.
You can dispose of eligible items for free, including:
White goods
Outdoor furniture and barbeques
Bicycles and play equipment
Scrap steel
Green waste and timber
Standard fees apply for things like tyres, mattresses, and car bodies, so check the list before you load up.
Remember to sort your items before arriving and bring proof of residence — this service is for Hinchinbrook residents only.
If you’d rather avoid the rush, Council accepts most recyclables free of charge year-round.
And don’t forget, trimming trees and securing loose branches is just as important as clearing clutter. Tree limbs should be cut to 1.2m lengths and under 400mm in diameter for disposal.
Storm season is unpredictable, but being prepared isn’t. A tidy yard means fewer hazards, less damage, and greater peace of mind when the next storm rolls in. So grab your gloves, get the family involved, and make the most of these free disposal days.
For more preparation tips, visit getready.qld.gov.au or contact Council on (07) 4776 4600.
I’m sure I am not alone in our community in being astounded at how quickly we have reached the end of another year... and what a year it has been!
It is fair to say that 2025 has been the year that Hinchinbrook took centre stage in the local, state, and national arenas for several reasons.
The scale of the February floods and the substantial impact on people, infrastructure, and livelihoods certainly challenged and tested our community.
However, as we head toward another wet season, I believe it is important to reflect on how remarkably this community continues to rebound and pay tribute to all the incredibly hard-working individuals and organisations who have contributed in any way to that recovery journey.
Having been intimately involved in the recovery process, I am aware of the incredibly high level of support and assistance that has been made available to this community, across the spectrum from all levels of government, not-for-profit organisations, right through to individuals who have done what they could to support our community in a meaningful way.
The support shown this year is an encouraging reminder that when our community is experiencing challenging times, we are not alone, and having these robust processes in place to access assistance is integral to helping our community “get back on their feet” as quickly as possible.
Now the harvest is complete, and the first storms of the season have commenced, I would like to acknowledge all those involved in successfully completing another season. Despite the enormity of the challenges faced to repair critical infrastructure and navigate unknown flood damage within the paddocks, the workforce has risen to the challenge and successfully delivered a larger-than-expected crop outcome in a timely manner.
Through all this, volunteer sporting and event committees have stepped up to deliver outstanding recreational events, and the community has come out to support them.
To each and every person who has contributed, supported, and strengthened our community this year, I say a huge THANK YOU! You have made a difference, and you are valued. Merry Christmas to all, and may you have a safe and happy Christmas with family and loved ones!
The festive season is a busy time for gift shopping, and ensuring the toys you bring home are safe is just as important as choosing something fun. Here’s a simple guide to help make safer choices for young children this Christmas.
Step 1: Inspect the Build Quality
Check how well the toy is made. Look for loose parts, weak seams, or poorly fitted components that could break off and become a hazard.
Step 2: Watch For Small Parts
Toys with small wheels, bells, foam pieces, or lights can pose a choking risk for younger children. Avoid items that could easily detach.
Step 3: Check For Sharp Edges or Points
Run your hands along the edges of the toy. Sharp corners or exposed points can cause cuts or injuries during play.
Step 4: Consider Strings and Cords
Strings longer than 30cm or cords on toys can present a strangulation risk. Opt for items with short, safe lengths or securely fastened attachments.
Step 5: Examine Battery Compartments
Products with button or coin batteries should have secure compartments that cannot be opened by children. Ensure any instructions or safety warnings are clearly visible. Batteries can cause serious damage when ingested.
Step 6: Buy From Reputable Sources
Purchase toys from trusted stores or suppliers that adhere to Australian safety standards. Be cautious with overseas online purchases, as these may not meet local regulations.
By following these steps, you can reduce the risk of accidents and make Christmas a safe, enjoyable time for all. For any concerns about unsafe products, contact the Office of Fair Trading at 13 QGOV (13 74 68).
Whilst out exploring the region, residents have begun to notice several snake sightings in and around the Hinchinbrook Shire, and with the school holidays and the festive season fast approaching, the community are being reminded to stay alert.
As published by the Queensland Government Department of the Environment, Tourism, Science and Innovation, the majority of the 35 species of reptiles within the Hinchinbrook Shire are considered harmless; however, several venomous snakes are known to inhabit local bushlands, farms, creeks, and even residential backyards during the warmer months of the year.
Among the species known to inhabit the region are Whipsnakes, the Northern Death Adder, and several sea snakes, which can be found along the coastline. Non-venomous species frequently spotted include the Green Tree Snake, Spotted Python, Carpet Python, and Amethystine Python, which may appear in gardens, bushland, or even rooftops in search of shade and prey.
With the temperatures rising, snake encounters often become more frequent during this time of the year, and there are several steps you can take to keep you and your family safe these holidays such as:
If you spot a snake out and about, remember to keep your distance, and if they're injured, contact North Queensland Wildlife Care on 0414 717 374. If you come across a snake on your property that raises concern, please contact a local snake catcher or a snake relocation service.

Cantatore Pharmacy’s Grand Opening will be more than marking their new address on Herbert Street. Full of the spirit of locals supporting locals, with businesses, boutiques and community members coming together to create a day to blend celebration, generosity and genuine connection with the new pharmacy. The event promises a full schedule of shopping activities, flavour and festivity, setting the tone for what Cantatore Pharmacy hopes will be a long and engaging future in Ingham.
Local suppliers have rallied behind the opening, donating an impressive selection of gift vouchers, flowers and prizes. Their support reflects the close-knit nature of the district and reinforces the message that Cantatore Pharmacy is opening its doors as part of a broader community network, not simply as a standalone shop. Visitors will find a range of specials and showcases throughout the day, including the introduction of the pharmacy’s new weight-loss range, Dukes. Representatives will be on hand between 11am and 12pm to offer taste tests of both Vital Nutrients products and the Dukes range, allowing customers to sample before they commit.
Beauty enthusiasts will find plenty of reasons to stop by. Discounts will apply across MCO Beauty products and selected fragrance lines, with savings between 20% and 30% on chosen gifting and perfume ranges. Brands such as Moo Goo, Nude by Nature and MCO Beauty will feature prominently, and for those purchasing from the makeup range, a complimentary colour foundation matching service will be available. Staff will also provide professional foundation colour-matching, ensuring customers walk away with products fully tailored to their needs.
Food and hospitality will play a warm role in the celebration, with nibbles, antipasto and refreshing punch offered throughout the day. These small touches contribute to the welcoming, celebratory feel that the Cantatore team aims to create. Shoppers looking for thoughtful gifts will be pleased to know that the pharmacy offers custom gift packs and complimentary gift wrapping for all in-store purchases, adding convenience and cheer in the lead-up to the festive season.
A raffle will also be running on the day, with all proceeds supporting My Room, a children’s cancer charity. This charitable element highlights the pharmacy’s commitment to using its platform for broader community benefit, reinforcing that giving back will remain part of its ethos.
An official opening ceremony will take place during the event, accompanied by lucky door prizes and exclusive giveaways. With strong local support, attractive discounts and a full program of demonstrations and treats, the Grand Opening promises to be a lively and community-minded celebration.

The festive season often brings joy, connection and a chance to unwind. Yet for some, this time of year can bring challenges, including emotional strain, financial pressures and relationship stress.
selectability Ingham’s Regional Coordinator, Julie Ross said that with the holiday season fast approaching, it was crucial to find support and meaningful connections.

The selectability Ingham team has put together some simple but important self-care tips to help you navigate the holiday season.
Step away from social media: reducing comparisons to those online can increase meaningful connections.
Be kind to yourself: at such a hectic time of the year, remember to take time for yourself and rest to enjoy the season without burnout.
Be kind to others: spreading positive actions can enhance your mood and create a ripple effect on those around you.
Connect with your community: seek out community events and activities to build positive connections. selectability is running group programs that provide opportunities to meet new people, encourage connection, and learn new skills.

“There’s a line-up of activities to help recipients get into the festive spirit, such as Christmas arts and crafts, and cooking, to name just a few.
