Comedy Roadshow Hits The Cassowary Coast

Comedy Roadshow Hits The Cassowary Coast

The laughs are rolling back into town, with the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Roadshow set to light up the Cassowary Coast later this month. Now in its 28th year, the iconic tour will bring a fresh lineup of comedic talent from the 2026 Melbourne International Comedy Festival to regional Queensland, offering locals the chance to experience world-class stand-up without leaving the region. Audiences can expect a night of high-energy entertainment, with host Alec Ward leading a diverse lineup featuring Dane Simpson, Nick Schuller, Sez, and international act Takashi Wakasugi, travelling all the way from Japan. The show will take place at the Con Theatre in Innisfail, with doors opening at 6pm ahead of a 6:30pm start. The performance will run for approximately two hours, including a short intermission. Supported by the Queensland Government’s Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF), the event highlights the importance of bringing arts and culture to regional communities. The RADF is a partnership between the Queensland Government and Cassowary Coast Regional Council, aimed at fostering local creative opportunities and access to high-quality performances. The comedy event offers an affordable night out for locals looking to enjoy a dose of live entertainment. The show is recommended for audiences aged 15 and over due to adult themes and coarse language, and attendees are encouraged to arrive on time to avoid missing any of the action. For one night only, the Cassowary Coast will be the stage for some of the country’s best comedic talent, promising an evening of laughs, energy and unforgettable moments. WHAT: Melbourne International Comedy Festival Roadshow WHEN: Monday, 26 April 2026, 6:00pm WHERE: The Con Theatre, 5 River Ave, Innisfail

Preserving The Stories Behind Queenslander Homes

Preserving The Stories Behind Queenslander Homes

If your walls could talk, what would they say? Emily O’Brien recently took to social media asking residents to answer that very question, inviting locals to share their memories, photographs and personal histories tied to an iconic Queenslander home. Emily hopes to document the lived experiences inside these homes through a self-published book, focusing on the everyday moments that often go unrecorded. Emily’s passion for preserving Queenslander stories was sparked when she discovered a house for removal in the small locality of Massie in the Southern Downs. After meeting the descendants of the man who built it and hearing how he constructed the home by dismantling two others and transporting them by bullock dray, she realised just how easily these histories could be lost, and how important it is to capture them before they disappear. ‍ At its heart, her project will work to preserve voices that might otherwise be lost to time. “It feels like it has become a duty to safeguard the stories, so they aren’t lost to the passage of time and to give the houses and families a legacy,” said Emily. “There would be so many houses and families out there whose stories have already been lost, and I’d love to make a difference.” ‍ Rather than focusing on architectural perfection, Emily’s interested in the emotional connection people have with their homes, whether they’re “a weathered diamond-in-the-rough, or a polished gem”, she wants to hear every story. “I haven’t had any two stories that are the same, and while there’s no type of story I’m after, it’s definitely the more intimate memories I’m trying to capture, rather than another history textbook,” she added. “Perhaps what people remember growing up in the house, or their relative may have built the home back in the day by milling the timber themselves. Many people have even bought one of these old homes and have restored it and are therefore carrying on that legacy for years to come. It could be stories of what life looked like inside the home and how it changes throughout the generations.” ‍Emily’s project will largely focus on regional and remote communities where Queenslander homes have long been part of the cultural and social fabric. “I’m focusing on the regional and remote areas in particular, because these houses are generally situated so far away that people may not know they exist to begin with,” Emily explained. “The challenge with these homes isn’t just preserving their stories but finding them in the first place.” ‍With an intentionally inclusive approach, Emily warmly encourages anyone with a story to tell, or even those who know someone else whose story deserves to be shared, to reach out to her via emailing trumby03@gmail.com. “I'm hoping to find stories of the everyday Australians who are our unsung heroes. They're the stories that matter most. They're the ones we need to know about.” ‍CAPTION: Emily has already received waves of positive support regarding her project, hearing stories from inside the four walls of a Queenslander home from across the state.

Did You Know? Paluma = Rainforest Rinse & Repeat

Did You Know? Paluma = Rainforest Rinse & Repeat

If your soul needs a wash, Paluma Range National Park delivers the full rinse cycle. This high-rainfall rainforest zone flips landscapes fast, from coastal plains to cool mountain air, and stacks highlights close together. There’s Jourama Falls for big waterfall drama, Little Crystal Creek with its heritage-listed stone bridge and deep swimming holes, and Big Crystal Creek, famous for boulder-hopping and natural rock slides. Birdlife shifts with altitude, so birders bring binoculars and patience (honeyeater bingo is real). Roads up the range can be narrow and winding, so it’s best tackled without long caravans or trailers. Pair a Paluma day with dinner back in Ingham or a Lucinda sunset and call it what it is: a perfectly rinsed day out. Swim it: hinchinbrookway.com.au

Neon Nights At Ingham State High School

What a night it was at Ingham State High School, with the School Social proving a massive hit. The Neon and Glow in the Dark theme lit up the dance floor, setting the scene for an evening full of energy and colour.

A big thank you goes to everyone who helped bring the event together, from the dedicated student organisers to the ever-reliable ISHS Roadies. And to everyone who came along, your enthusiasm made it such a fantastic evening. Photos credited to Ingham State High School

Roy Orbison Show Takes Ingham’s Centre Stage

March 10, 2026

Award winning singer Damien Leith is set to bring a very special show to Ingham, showcasing the wonderful music of Roy Orbison. This show however, is far more than just a tribute, encompassing the music of Orbison’s circle such as the Travelling Wilburys as well as special new tracks co-written with Joe Melson – Roy Orbison’s long-time collaborator.

The show is a long time in the making and was formed through incredible circumstances, as an Australian Idol performance of Orbison’s song ‘Crying’, attracted the attention of his widow all the way in Nashville. This led to a series of life-changing events in which Damien was ingratiated into Orbison’s inner circle.

“She called me and said she liked my version. She liked how I made it my own. Three years later she asked me to fly over to Nashville to record an album of his songs in my style to celebrate what would have been his 75th birthday”, said Damien.

“It was a huge honour. I got to work with a whole bunch of people associated with Roy Orbison.”

As he got acquainted with Orbison’s circle, Damien met Joe Melson, co-writer of some of Orbison’s biggest hits. The two begun a fruitful collaboration, writing songs that are set to appear on the new tour.

“We’ve written a bunch of songs. When people hear it, they get a sense of that era of music, but it also has a new spin”.

The performance is a special solo acoustic showcase. One voice, one guitar, and one incredible repertoire.

“The stripped back nature of the show grants a lot of freedom in the performance. It’s weird – I’ve done shows with a full orchestra but at the same time I found I’m enjoying myself more in these really intimate settings”.

New to the region, Damien is incredibly excited to perform in Ingham for the first time.

“I’ve grown up in regional areas. The reception to music is always really good. Really wholesome.”

Speaking to Damien, we reflected on the amazing legacy of Roy Orbison, as his music continues to receive praise six decades after it was released.

“People still buy CDs. They still come to shows. There are loads of people playing his stuff in different formats. He has a unique voice, and his songwriting was so different.”

Damien Leith promises a night you won’t forget.

COUNTDOWN TO COMEDY

March 10, 2026

The calendar has ticked over to March and rehearsals are well underway for the Ingham Theatre Group’s first offering of 2026. “In Good Audience” is the moniker for a collection of short plays and sketches sure to tickle the collective funny bone.

Familiar faces will be joined by some enthusiastic newcomers to present a variety of content with the unifying theme of good fun. For the first time, the production heads out to Forrest Beach and the spacious Progress Hall with evening performances on Friday, March 27th and Saturday, March 28th commencing at 7pm and a first-ever matinee on the Saturday at 2pm.

Doors will open an hour before commencement, and refreshments will be available.

Tickets are available online at hinchinbrooktickets.com.au and at the door. Adult entrance is $20 and the student, senior and concession price a mere $10. And, as one character remarks in the first play – the best part of going to the theatre is that there are no ads! Except, perhaps, a reminder that the ever-popular theatre restaurant season will return in August so there is more fun to look forward to.

See you at the show!

Live Theatre Is Returning To Ingham With Gusto!

March 3, 2026

A lively program of short comedic dramas is currently being rehearsed by your favourite local thespians, with some new faces as well, and will hit the stage at the end of March.

This year the fun moves to the beach - Forrest Beach to be exact – with the Progress Hall being the location. Evening shows will run on Friday and Saturday, 20 and 21 March at 7:00pm, with a matinee performance on Saturday 21, taking to the stage at 2:00pm. Doors open an hour before each performance to take advantage of the refreshments available and, of course, to bag a good position as seats are not allocated on the ticket.

Tickets are currently available online from Hinchinbrook Tickets or can be purchased at the door for $20 per adult or $10 per student, concession, or senior.

Theatre has been an integral part of community life from the ancient Greeks to the throngs that crowded the Globe in Shakespearean times, to the regulars who enjoy the antics of our zany local troupe. If you aren’t yet familiar with the entertainment on offer in our own little patch, make the most of this opportunity to acquaint yourself “In Good Audience”. Arrive an hour early to secure your seats and enjoy the refreshments!

See you at the beach!

5000 TONES & I FANS ROCK INGHAM

February 24, 2026

Hinchinbrook was buzzing on Friday as award winning Australian artist Tones and I lit up the Ingham Showgrounds, drawing a crowd of about 5,000 people for a night that blended big stage energy with unmistakable country hospitality.

A little rain couldn’t wash away the excitement as Ingham showed up loud, proud and united, proving once again that this community never shies away from a great night out.

The performance came after Tones and I challenged regional towns across Australia to show why she should bring a special one-off show to their community.

HINCHINBROOK STRIKES THE RIGHT TONES AS 5,000 FANS TURN OUT IN FORCE

Hinchinbrook rallied with passion and creativity as shopfronts were transformed, murals appeared across the district, social media lit up with messages of support, and locals shared stories of what makes their region unique. Love shared from world class fishing and thriving birdlife to its proud sugar industry heritage.

That groundswell of community spirit ultimately secured Ingham as the chosen destination.

Ahead of the show, Hinchinbrook Shire Mayor Cr Ramon Jayo — a proud Macknade cane farmer with more than 30 years of experience in local government — officially welcomed Tones and I to the region.

In a gesture reflecting Hinchinbrook’s deep agricultural roots, he presented her with a cane knife, symbolic of farming families who have shaped the district.

Mayor Jayo said the event was a significant moment for Hinchinbrook.

“When an artist like Tones and I comes to Ingham, it’s a big deal for a town like ours,” Mayor Jayo said.

“We’re a hardworking community built on agriculture and small business, and nights like this give people a chance to come together and enjoy something special close to home.

“Seeing families out, kids having fun and local businesses busy — that’s what it’s all about.”

The impact was felt well beyond the stage. Local eateries, cafés and accommodation providers reported strong trade with some experiencing their busiest night in years.

It’s estimated that one Friday night will add an estimated $221,000 to the local Hinchinbrook economy, through increased spend on hospitality, retail, accommodation and event suppliers.

Hinchinbrook Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Tourism President Mary Brown said the event demonstrated the shire’s capability and potential.

“To host an event of this scale with such a short turnaround — and still achieve the attendance we did — has clearly shown performers what Hinchinbrook is capable of,” Ms Brown said.

“It proves that our shire has the capacity and potential to host and accommodate events of this size well into the future.”

She said the experience had been uplifting for local businesses and the broader community.

“The excitement and enthusiasm we’ve witnessed throughout this process has been an incredible morale booster,” she said.

“This time of year is traditionally commercially slow, the mood can be sombre and negative sentiment often rises. This event has given our community something positive to rally around, and that has been just as valuable as the concert itself.”

Mayor Jayo also extended his gratitude to the wider community and acknowledged the community effort that helped secure the concert.

“When the challenge was put forward, our community didn’t hesitate and a big thank you to Justine Stoddart for kicking it off,” he said.

“Businesses, families, community groups and volunteers all stepped up. That collective effort is what brought Tones and I to Ingham, and it’s something we should be incredibly proud of.”

On behalf of the community, Council extends its thanks to Tones and I, her team, event partners, local businesses, schools, community organisations and every community member who helped bring the night to life.

Young Learners Begin the Year With Colour And Creativity

February 17, 2026

The Prep, Year 1 and Year 2 classrooms burst into life this week as students at St Peter’s Catholic School celebrated the start of the school year with a vibrant display of personalised artwork. Each creation told a unique story: handprints and footprints marked their arrival, cupcakes represented their age, and carefully placed matchsticks showed the number of people in their family. Pieces of string illustrated how tall they’ve grown, while brightly coloured flowers highlighted each child's favourite colour. Completing the display, students proudly shared what they are good at. Together, the artworks form a joyful snapshot of a confident and creative learning community and the promise of things to come at St Peter’s.

It’s by royal decree so you must! I’m a gentle, affectionate girl who may be a little shy at first, but with patience and kindness, my loving nature truly shines. Once I feel safe and settled, you’ll start to see my playful, curious side... and maybe even a hint of adventure.

I’d love a calm, cozy home where I can feel secure, with a quiet spot to relax whenever I need it. I’m happiest as an indoor girl and would be open to sharing my world with other cats.

Older children suit me best, and I can happily get to know younger ones too, as long as they’re kind and understanding while I settle in. If you’re looking for a sweet soul who will blossom into a devoted companion, I’d love to meet you—and maybe steal your heart this belated Valentine’s
