On Thursday 10 July, the Cardwell RSL became a vital hub of information and support as more than 35 residents and service representatives gathered for the Cardwell Community Rebuild Info Session. Organised by Centacare FNQ, the evening brought together key organisations supporting North Queenslanders affected by the 2025 floods and now in the rebuilding phase.

The session was hosted in partnership with Centacare’s Disaster Recovery and Resilience Hub, the Queensland Building and Construction Commission (QBCC), Legal Aid Queensland, ICAN Financial Counselling, Community Recovery, Rural Financial Counselling Service, Tully Support Centre, and Cardwell RSL. Food and the venue were generously provided by the Cardwell RSL, with Centacare coordinating staff and logistics.

Attendees heard from expert speakers on a range of critical topics; including builder and contractor engagement, legal support for insurance negotiations, financial counselling, and access to grants through Queensland’s disaster recovery hubs. Mental health support was also available through Centacare staff.

The canteen area was transformed into an informal networking space where residents could speak directly with service providers following the presentations. Printed materials and note-taking tools helped residents retain key information, while discussions continued well after the formal part of the event concluded.

This session marked an important step in helping flood-affected residents navigate the complexities of rebuilding. Resources and advice were tailored to meet the practical needs of homeowners facing decisions around repairs, legal options, insurance processes, and financial assistance.

"The knowledge passed on to all attendees was invaluable. This, in turn, would be spread throughout the community. We are grateful for the information presented by these very professional instructors. And a special thanks to Patrick Sim for organising the event." - Robert Lang, President of the Cardwell RSL Sub-Branch

Future community sessions are already being explored, with an emphasis on topics such as navigating builder quotes and assessments, insurance timelines, and accessing temporary accommodation during extended rebuilds. The goal remains clear: support Cardwell locals with the knowledge, tools, and connections they need to confidently move forward.

With organisations working together and residents showing resilience and determination, Cardwell’s recovery is well underway, and this session is just one example of community-led progress in action.

This inspiring collection of artworks celebrates the creativity, reflection, and technical skill of students from Gilroy Santa Maria College. Across year levels, students have explored identity, community, and the world around them through painting, responding to both personal and shared experiences. From self-expression to collaborative storytelling, each piece reveals a thoughtful engagement with contemporary art practices.

Artwork 1: Shinae Johnson, Self Portrait (2025)
The Year 11 and 12 Visual Arts in Practice students completed a unit in which they created paintings to explore and represent themselves. Shinae elected to respond figuratively and created a self-portrait encircled by flowers.

Artworks 2 and 3: Wings by Summer Christopher and Fish by Kaitlyn Rapista
Although the final images produced by Summer and Kaitlyn are radically different, both paintings were produced in response to the same stimulus and prompt. The Year 10 Visual and Media Arts students created their paintings by first exploring the arts practice of a contemporary artist, then applying the artist's approach to their paintings. Each successive layer was created in response to a different contemporary artist. The students effectively created their finished works by synthesising the arts practices and processes of a range of artists, including Jenny Saville, Sush Machida, Alex Couwenberg, and Cecily Brown.

Artwork 4: Flood – Year 9 Visual and Media Arts Collaborative Painting
Due to the disruption to regular schooling caused by the flooding at the start of the year, the Year 9 Visual Arts program was changed to allow the students to respond meaningfully to the situation through their artwork. The Year 9s worked collaboratively to create a painting based on the flood event, using the multi-canvas approach of Australian artist Imants Tillers. The main image depicts the flooded causeway at Forrest Beach. Beneath the image, and visible up close, are photographic images of the flood collected by the students. They also incorporated text from news articles about the flooding that were published at that time.

HUB Hinchinbrook Community Support Centre has secured grants to develop 3 residential housing complexes, with construction well under way. The senior living units are designed to foster community connection and improve access to local services, centrally located, these homes aim to provide safer, more comfortable living for seniors throughout the Hinchinbrook Shire.

The first release of six one-bedroom units is expected to be completed in August, with another set finalised in October. A further three units will be built in Halifax later this year.

This is a call-out for eligible seniors to apply now.

To qualify, applicants must be Queensland residents with an approved Social Housing Application and meet senior eligibility criteria. The August release focuses on supporting Indigenous seniors to create a culturally safe and connected retirement community. However, the following housing rounds are open to all eligible seniors, with a range of housing options including studio and one or two-bedroom units to suit different lifestyles.

This initiative is about more than just housing. It’s about bringing people out of isolation, improving access to care and services, and creating small, supportive living communities where seniors can thrive.

To check eligibility and apply for social housing assistance, visit the QLD Gov website, scan the QR code, or speak to the helpful staff at the HUB.

Applicants must meet certain criteria, including citizenship or residency, income and asset limits, and demonstrate a need for secure and suitable housing. Meeting these requirements doesn’t guarantee a home, but it does ensure you're included in future planning and support.

The HUB is encouraging all eligible seniors to apply for these units, even if you’re not sure yet as this helps demonstrate demand and support future community housing projects.

Need help applying? Speak directly with the Department of Housing this Thursday between 10am and 3pm at the Hub, 52–54 McIlwraith Street, Ingham. For more information, phone (07) 4776 1822

Nature's Towering Masterpiece

Tucked away in the lush rainforests of Girringun National Park, just 51km south-west of Ingham, Wallaman Falls is the highest, permanent, single-drop waterfall in Australia. This stunning natural wonder sees Stony Creek plunge a dramatic 268 metres into a misty gorge, often framed by rainbows that add to its ethereal beauty. As part of the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area, Wallaman Falls lies within one of the world's oldest rainforest ecosystems and is rich in both biodiversity and Indigenous cultural significance.

Visitors can enjoy breathtaking views from two accessible lookouts, picnic beneath towering trees, or spend the night under the stars at the well-equipped camping area. Wildlife abounds; from platypus and water dragons to possums, bandicoots and the elusive southern cassowary.

For those keen to explore on foot, the easy 800m Banggurru Walk meanders along Stony Creek and offers a family-friendly taste of rainforest life, including a refreshing swimming hole at its end. More adventurous hikers can tackle the Djyinda Walk, a 4km return trail that descends into the gorge, revealing awe-inspiring views of the falls from below. While swimming is not allowed at the base due to cultural and safety reasons, the journey is well worth the effort.

Wallaman Falls is also a photographer’s dream, with dramatic landscapes, shifting light, and abundant wildlife offering endless inspiration. As night falls, the forest comes alive with nocturnal creatures and the sound of frogs echoing through the trees. It’s a destination that rewards those who linger, listen, and truly connect.

Facilities include sheltered picnic areas, toilets, showers, and wheelchair-accessible features (with assistance), ensuring comfort for day-trippers and campers alike. As you wander through the ancient rainforest, you’ll encounter vibrant plant life, from weeping bottlebrushes and towering eucalypts to lush palms and moss-draped trees.

Wallaman Falls is part of the traditional lands of the Warrgamaygan Aboriginal People. 'Nginba Warrgamaygan Ngarji'. The Warrgamaygan People hope you enjoy your visit and respect this sacred place.

Whether you're chasing waterfalls, wildlife or tranquillity, Wallaman Falls offers a remarkable escape into nature at its most powerful and pristine.

The Gill family, who had long lived on Goold Island, were forced to relocate after a cyclone in 1918 blew their house over; they then moved the house to the Haven on Hinchinbrook Island. Macushla Point on Hinchinbrook Island was named after the boat owned by Emily Lyon from Herbert River, and in 1929 the Cardwell Shire Council offices moved to Tully. During the 1930s the Lyons family constructed two cottages and laid concrete foundations for tents at Macushla Point. In 1932, most of Hinchinbrook Island was declared a National Park, further cementing the area’s environmental significance, and the Girramay people have long been recognised as the Traditional Owners of the Cardwell area. In 1933, the population within the Cardwell Shire Council area surged by 1,200 per cent to 4,416 due to the growth of the sugar industry and the establishment of a mill in Tully.

The early 1930s also saw the construction of four small cabins with thatched roofs at the Haven on the western side of Hinchinbrook Island, and in 1937 work began on constructing the Kirrama Range road to provide access to the timbers in the Kirrama Range area. This road opened in 1941; however, it was later closed following Cyclone Larry. In the late 1930s and early 1940s, Frank Lewis ran cattle and operated a small casual resort at the Haven on Hinchinbrook Island. In 1944, experiments in gas warfare using Australian Army personnel were carried out on the Brook Islands.

By a retired cane farmer

There was movement at the farm shed
when the word was passed around,
That the price of export sugar had fallen to the ground.
As farmers we are takers, we have no right to choose,
Sometimes we come out winners and then sometimes we lose.

They say we are complainers but we’re lovers of the land,
All we ask is a fair go and perhaps a helping hand.
The lifestyle is the greatest, you nominate your hours.
Sometimes we work from dawn to dark and
sometimes between the showers.

We’ve built up some fond memories as
we’ve journeyed through the years.
We also have some hard ones that reduce a man to tears.
We recall the young gun cutters, the rails, the knives, the file.
You couldn’t keep up or catch them to within a country mile.

They came across from distant lands,
they stayed around a while,
they left behind a legacy and they made the farmers smile.
The hours they worked were long and hard
and what they earned was small.
They were the backbone of the industry
and they still stand strong and tall.

Then came the 515 harvester, the damn thing wouldn’t go!
After working twelve long hard hours
only thirty bins you had to show.
But things are all done different now, it’s done within the hour.
All the farmer does now is go home and take a shower.

Along comes the contractor, he is looking for more dough.
“The price of things is rising, I can’t survive you know.
This is the price I’m asking that’s what you have to pay,
You take it or you leave it, we’ll talk another day.”

So then the tracks start turning, it's money in the bank.
We get pain upon delivery, the mills we have to thank.
Then the bills start rolling in, they’re
coming, coming thick and fast.
That’s when you have to hope and pray
the money’s going to last.

Along come all the greenies but they’re not all that green.
They say they’re out to save the world
but they’re not all that they seem.
They say that all the farmers are endangering the reef,
We’ll not take it laying down let’s hand them out some beef.

We’ve got all this new technology, GPS and traffic lane.
But with all this increased knowledge
we seem to grow less cane.
We have all of these computers and also the spreadsheet,
but the bottom line is always we have to make ends meet.

Then there are the politicians with
their theories and their tales,
“You’ve never had it so good” but something jumped the rails.
You’re told to work hard and smart,
that’s what they have to say.
While there are more inquiries, they
get an increase in their pay.

We struggle with diseases, RSD and smut and rust.
We have numbers of varieties but in many we can’t trust.
We battle with the elements, sometimes the rain won’t come.
We get long hot summer days and lots and lots of sun.

Then you look to heaven and pray the rain will fall.
You take a look around your farm, the crop it will be small,
and then the heavens open and the rain just tumbles down.
The rivers are all running, there is water all around.

The cane is going under and you can’t get to town,
“We’ll pack a few belongings and head for higher ground!”
There are the Larrys and the Yasis with wind and driving rain,
you estimate the damage and you try to wear the pain.

That’s when you get up and learn to start
again with faith and trust and hope.
With heart in hand and courage, we pray that we will cope.
You look around the district with farmers old and grey.
They can’t afford to get out and they can’t afford to stay.

The children have all but left home,
they've left behind the land.
They don’t want to build their home life upon the shifting sand.
They’re gone away to better things, their futures to explore,
some headed for the cities and some to distant shore.

They leave behind them this fair land,
they shall return no more.
So we’ll work a little harder to keep the banker from the door.
You begin to wonder was it all worthwhile,
all the anguish and the pain.
The striving and the hardship for oh, so little gain.

And then the time will come around when
you knock on heaven’s door.
You no longer have to worry if the price falls through the floor.
Then you ask yourself the question, “Did I really pass the test?”
You heard the voice say, “Welcome home my
son, you’re the best of all the best!"

With Christmas In July

The Hinchinbrook Community Support Centre (HCSC) Seniors Morning Coffee Club proudly hosted an amazing Christmas in July celebration, bringing together seniors from across our region for a day of good food, fun, and festive cheer. What began as a planned gathering for 80 quickly grew to a sold-out event, welcoming 120 guests who filled the Noorla Bowls Club in Ingham to capacity. Our usual Coffee Club of around 40 members more than tripled in size for this special day, with the added delight of 21 visitors from Rollingstone Neighbourhood Centre and groups from Lifelong Supports and Blue Care.

Christmas In July At Noorla Bowls Club

These valuable partnerships and events help create meaningful social connections and reduce isolation among our seniors, something our Centre is deeply committed to. Adding an informative touch, we were joined by two wonderful representatives from ADA Australia, who gave an insightful presentation about their fully funded advocacy services for older persons, highlighting vital support available within our community.

It was a feast to remember as guests were treated to a traditional Christmas meal, lovingly prepared by the talented team at Oasis Café. The generous spread featured baked ham, roasted pork, lamb, and vegetables, pasta and salad, and a crowd-favourite lasagne made by our very own HCSC Men’s Group facilitator, Angelo — a true kitchen whiz! To finish, a classic trifle provided a sweet end to a hearty meal.

The holiday spirit was alive and well, with many attendees arriving dressed in their best Christmas-themed outfits. Best Dressed prizes went to Veronica as The Grinch, Jimmy as Woody, Carol as Mrs Claus, Gordon as Christmas Bob Marley, and young Tara, whose festive energy lit up the room. The celebration continued with lively Bingo games and a spirited round of Trivia that had everyone scratching their heads and laughing in equal measure.

A special thank you goes to Rachele from the Lions Club, who not only brought along the iconic Lions Christmas Cakes, one of which was kindly donated as a raffle prize, but also generously lent a hand serving meals and ensuring everyone was well looked after. Events like these are only possible through the dedication of our wonderful volunteers and the unwavering support of the HCSC Staff. Your time, energy, and community spirit are the beating heart of these special gatherings.

To everyone who joined us for our Christmas in July, thank you for bringing warmth, laughter, and festive joy to our seniors. Here’s to many more moments of connection and celebration within our Hinchinbrook community.

With a united front from the board, staff, and club patrons, the RSL rallied together to raise vital funds for the National Breast Cancer Foundation through a month-long series of raffles and events. Setting an ambitious goal of $5,000, the club not only met it but soared past it, raising a total of $8,042.

The campaign wrapped up with a special Sunday barbecue fundraiser that saw the function room buzzing with generous supporters and fantastic prizes. Local businesses got behind the cause, with Beauty on Lannercost contributing vouchers courtesy of Bec Weston, and Bissons Electrical donating an array of meat trays sourced from Blanco's and Flower arrangements from Mandy’s Beauty in the Bush. The afternoon barbecue was also proudly sponsored by Bissons Electrical, whose ongoing support helped make the event such a great success.

The Herbert River RSL extends heartfelt thanks to everyone who bought raffle tickets, wore pink, and stood united. The incredible funds raised will go directly toward supporting the National Breast Cancer Foundation in its mission to fund life-saving research and support Australians affected by breast cancer.

The fundraising spirit continues as the Herbert River RSL launches its next campaign, It’s a Bloke Thing, in support of the National Prostate Cancer Foundation. Running through August and into Father’s Day, the campaign will culminate in a free sausage sizzle on Sunday, 7 September.

They’re calling on our community once again to get behind a cause that matters, standing together and making it count.

Hiya Hinchinbrook Shire! This past weekend was so packed with events that it was difficult to make it to them all, but rest assured, I tried my best. Thank you to all who sent in reports on the events I couldn't get to!

I took my mother out to the races and we enjoyed the sunshine and the horses at the Ingham Gold Cup. So many beautiful people out in their race-day best, I know the Fashion On The Fields competition was just as fierce as the horse racing! I didn't place any bets myself, but in hindsight, maybe I should have. My mother and I had a little friendly competition between us, and our picks kept coming in the top 3. I guess we knew how to pick them! I greatly enjoy most horse sports, and I am happy I got to share the memories of my first horse races with my wonderful mother.

I also had a quick moment to visit the Conroy Hall Markets after Parkrun on Saturday, and it was quaint with some stalls inside the hall and some outside. Many talented stallholders let me take their pictures for my next market feature (coming soon!). I picked up a little sponge cake and it was so soft and fluffy, I enjoyed it as a post-Parkrun pick-me-up.

Fun Fact: champion racehorse Winx's filly by stallion Pierro sold for a world record $10 million in 2024. The sale set an all-time southern hemisphere record for a thoroughbred yearling, doubling the $5 million paid for Black Caviar's half-brother in 2013.

The Ingham Flotilla QF-14 of the Australian Volunteer Coast Guard has officially opened the Matthew White Wing, named in honour of Matthew White and his mother, Donna White, in memory of their service and dedicated support to the Coast Guard.

Steve Whipps of QF-14 spoke with pride and gratitude, saying, “It's a special occasion for us. We don’t have many of them, but I would like to say that the funds for this shed all came out of public fundraising in the Shire of Hinchinbrook. Without the people of Hinchinbrook, we wouldn't have been able to do it. Some of the funding did come from one of our generous contributors, and we’re very grateful. I’d also like to acknowledge our squadron, Commodore North Queensland Squadron, Commodore Terry Spurrier, and invite him to say a few words and cut the ribbon.”

Commodore Terry Spurrier said the occasion was deeply meaningful, “This shed doesn't just represent storage for the boat. It symbolises the hard work of our members, our sponsors, and it stands as a memorial to a valued past member. There’s a lot of sentiment here today. I’d like to thank everyone for the work they do, and a special thank you to the partners and families for understanding when the 2am call-out comes and it’s time to go. I’m very proud to be here.”

Nick Dametto MP shared his personal reflections on the dedication, “Having the Matty White Wing opened today is an absolute testimony to the dedication that young man had for, at the time, the Ingham Coast Guard. A life taken too early, but one that will be remembered for many years to come." He continued, “It’s very heartwarming to see the shed named in his honour. Matty was known for his commitment, from driving the tractor down to launch the boat to helping rescue those in need. They even nicknamed it ‘Matty’s tractor’. The fact that this new wing was funded entirely by local donations is a testament to the hardworking volunteers and the community that supports them.”

Acting Mayor Mary Brown also praised the efforts of the Coast Guard and the significance of the new facility, “It’s fantastic to see an extension to the infrastructure and facilities already here. The role the Coast Guard plays in our community is critical, often not fully appreciated until you need them. Kudos to all the volunteers and to the community that stands behind them. This shed is not just infrastructure; it’s about building resilience for a growing coastal region and ensuring we can continue to support both residents and visitors enjoying our marine environment.”

The Matthew White Wing stands as a proud symbol of local unity, volunteer dedication, and the enduring memory of a young man whose legacy lives on in every rescue, every launch, and every life kept safe on the water.

The Ingham Gold Cup Races was a gathering for the district and beyond to enjoy. The turnout steadily built throughout the afternoon as many flocked to the racetrack. Encouragement from trackside and the grandstand grew as onlookers rallied their picks to gallop faster. A crescendo of joy for the event and the sport could be heard as many raised their drinks to their winnings and a good show across the five races.

Christina Spencer, the Herbert River Jockey Club Secretary and Fashions on the Field Coordinator, was delighted with how the event was shaping up: "It's turned out to be a perfect, beautiful day. No clouds in the sky, and the crowd is starting to roll in."

She was ready to take her position at the fashion tent as many beautifully dressed ladies and smartly dressed men signed up to be judged across the various categories. It was shaping up to be a tough competition this year. Alternating between races and fashion show segments, the atmosphere was lively and even those whose bets didn’t pay off took it in their stride with a good-natured laugh at the friendly competition.

The winners of Fashions on the Field gorgeously twirled and walked the catwalk for the judges. There were eight overall winners and four Spotter’s Choice winners, and according to the judges, the contest was fierce. They were looking for matching features and overall outfit continuity, as one judge put it: "Head to toe perfection of it all tied together."
