The popular King Reef walking track at Kurrimine Beach is set for an upgrade, with council announcing an extension that will improve access while preserving the natural beauty of the foreshore.

The project will see the track extended by approximately 450 metres to the south, enhancing connectivity and making the area more accessible for locals and visitors alike.

Works form part of council’s long-term Foreshore Management Plan for Kurrimine and Cowley Beaches, with Stage 2 now underway and a contractor engaged to deliver the next section. The extension has been carefully planned to balance usability with environmental and coastal considerations.

‍

‍

“The current route has been selected through the development of the Foreshore Management Plan following strong community input, particularly around coastal and environmental risks in that area,” council said. “These considerations have guided the alignment to ensure the track is safe, sustainable and appropriate for the location.”

In response to community feedback, updated dog management signage will also be installed along the foreshore, clearly identifying ‘no dogs’ areas and sections where dogs must be kept on a leash.

Council said the upgrades reflect a broader commitment to improving local infrastructure. “We’re serious about making our walking network better for everyone,” they said. “Making our walking tracks more accessible and enjoyable for everyone is exactly what we’re working towards.”

Construction is scheduled to begin in May, with completion expected by 30 June 2026, weather permitting.

Boardwalks & Biscotti — a 1.9 km Story Loop

This is the walk that understands priorities. Beginning at the Visitor Information Centre, the 1.9 km Hinchinbrook Way loop glides along elevated boardwalks over lagoons, past rain trees and wetlands, before gently winding into Ingham’s main street for a well‑earned coffee stop.

Rather than looping back to the Observation Tower, the trail returns through the TYTO Parklands, where visitors can explore the Sugar Tracks display and spot Agile Wallabies grazing through the open grassland. It’s exactly how the loop is presented in the Hinchinbrook Destination Guide and the Walk Hinchinbrook Way map of part nature walks, part cultural trail, part small‑town charm.

Flat, stroller‑friendly, and sprinkled with public art that adds depth to the landscape, the loop turns an easy stroll into a quiet little adventure. Ideal for those who enjoy their wetlands with a pastry chaser, it’s proof you don’t need hiking boots to feel accomplished.

“HUSH, HUSH, SHE IS FULL OF FLEAS”. FLORA SHAW, ANNIE BAGS AND A CASE OF GROUND FLEAS

By Dr Bianka Vidonja Balanzategui

Swedish immigrant and small farmer’s wife Gussie Feldt recounted the day in 1892 that a well-known vagrant woman, Annie Bags, passing through Halifax knocked on August Anderssen’s door. On that fateful day Eva, August’s wife, had just set up a dainty afternoon tea in the parlour for Flora Shaw, renowned British journalist, author, and staunch imperialist who was in the district to see for herself the state of the sugar industry as it prepared to transition from indentured Melanesian labour to free white labour. Her findings were published in The Times in 1893.

‍

Before Flora arrived, there was a knock on the door. It was Annie Bags. Eva, all a fluster at Annie arriving at such an unsuitable time, told her to “Come back tomorrow, I am expecting a great person here and she might come at any moment.”

When Flora arrived, she was welcomed into the Anderssen’s parlour. However, just as August began his prepared speech detailing the grievances of small farmers in the tropical north far away from the seat of Government in Brisbane Flora started shifting uneasily. He tried to get her attention again, but then she jumped up and flew out the door. August was incensed, taking her hasty departure as a personal affront.  

However, as it turned out she was covered in ground fleas that she had picked up from her visit around the farm to see the living and working conditions of the indentured labourers. After she had bathed and got into clean clothes, August saw the funny side of the situation, but he and Eva were disappointed Flora never got to hear his speech.

‍

When Annie turned up the next day hoping for half a crown for fortune telling or for her tins and bottles to be filled with milk for her cats, August told her to “Get away!” Annie replied, “Ah well, of course I am not Flora Shaw” and at that August burst into laughter.  

Who was Annie Bags? As the story goes her actual surname was Ferdinand and that she was a well-educated Prussian aristocrat (she claimed to be a Hungarian countess) who travelled to Australia in the late 1880s in pursuit of a red-headed Englishman she had met in Europe whom she believed intended to marry her.  

Understanding that he may have ventured to the goldfields she searched the fields from Victoria to Queensland, finally locating him in Ravenswood and married to another woman.  Broken-hearted and who knows what her financial situation was, she became a vagrant. Travelling on foot, dressed in clothes made of calico grain bags and carrying her belongings in sugar bags, and accompanied by a menagerie of animals, she traversed north Queensland.

On 17 April 2019, 109 years after Annie Bags’ death and burial in Townsville’s Belgian Gardens Cemetery at the age of 59, a headstone was finally erected on her unmarked grave. This came about through the crowd funding efforts of Rod Jones of Raven Tours.

Currently at the TYTO Regional Gallery, there’s a thought-provoking exhibition on the concept of androgyny. Masculine, feminine, duality, fluidity, balance, obscurity and nature all flow freely.  

Exploring the androgynous forms in the natural and human world through the eyes of a diverse group of artists, this culmination of work by artists David Rowe, Jade Grioli, Ann Vardanega, Helen Thrift-Brooks & Mitch Lynn is eye-catching.  

‍

Many of the works are purposefully hung directly at eye level, so you have to match the figures’ gazes and get drawn into the capturing landscapes. The wide-open layout of the exhibition gives viewers the space to drift and flow between works, taking in whatever it is that catches the eye.

The exhibition does have an 18+ section, so be aware when taking families to see it. The exhibition is open now to Saturday, 18 April 2026.

After a brief postponement, the highly anticipated Next Gen Cane Forum is officially back on, with growers and industry professionals set to gather across 14 and 15 April for two days of learning, networking, and hands-on experience.

Kicking off with a pre-forum welcome on Monday evening, delegates will have the opportunity to connect over drinks and hear from guest speaker Adam Douglas of Jet Zero, exploring the future of sustainable aviation fuel and its relevance to the industry.

Tuesday’s program, set about how to do it yourself, together, with a resources and management focus on practical, on-the-ground solutions for cane growers. The day begins with a CASE IH breakfast and presentation on the latest tractor technologies before moving into the Herbert Walk and Talk sessions. These rotating presentations will cover everything from new cane varieties and weed management to cutting-edge advancements in artificial intelligence, drone technology, and chemical safety.

The afternoon continues with industry-led discussions centred on improving productivity and sustainability, including soil amendments, multispecies cover crops, and do-it-yourself ratoon stunting disease testing. A networking lunch with Wilmar Sugar and Renewables will also highlight the importance of collaboration in driving the industry forward.

On Wednesday, the focus shifts to finance and farm visits, looking at production and potentials, offering delegates a deeper look into the business side of agriculture. Breakfast and lunch sessions will provide insights into finance options, with industry representatives available to answer questions and share advice.

Field visits will showcase innovation in action, including large-scale farm diversification, autonomous tractor technology, and advances in biological inputs. The day will also feature an irrigation system demonstration, highlighting new approachesto improving efficiency on-farm.

The forum will wrap up with a visit to the Burdekin Rum Distillery, followed by a dinner at the Queens Hotel and a panel discussion featuring leading voices from across the sugar industry.

With a strong mix of practical knowledge, innovation, and collaboration, the return of the Next Gen Cane Forum promises to deliver valuable insights and opportunities for the region’s current and next generation of growers.

A striking depiction of one of Australia’s most iconic birds earned Cairns-based artist Kevin Young the top honour in the Open category at the 2025 Hinchinbrook Birdlife Art Awards.

His winning piece, Brolga, captured judges’ attention with its intricate detail and lifelike realism, reflecting a deep connection to the natural world.

“Nature is my main source of inspiration,” he said.

“I am particularly drawn to Australian wildlife and landscapes, and I enjoy capturing the character and detail of animals through careful observation.”

Born in South Africa, Mr Young moved to Australia in 1971 and his journey to recognition has been anything but conventional. Before dedicating more time to his art, he worked as a sail maker, balancing creativity with the demands of everyday life.

“In more recent years, after experiencing some health challenges, I made the decision to slow down and refocus on the things that truly matter to me,” he enthused.

“Creativity has always remained important to me and art stayed with me as a personal passion. Returning to drawing and painting became an important part of that process. Art has allowed me to reconnect with creativity, patience and the natural world.”

A self-taught realism artist, Mr Young works primarily with graphite, often combined with watercolour, to capture the fine detail and character of Australian wildlife.

“One of the things I value most about creating art is the opportunity to share moments from the natural environment with others,” he explained.

“Whether it is a bird, reptile or landscape, I enjoy the challenge of translating what I see into a piece that invites the viewer to pause and appreciate the subject.”

His work has been exhibited in galleries across the country and internationally, but he says the most rewarding aspect of art is sharing the beauty of the natural environment with others.

“Creating art has become both a passion and a deeply rewarding pursuit,” he said.

“I want my audience to see nature as I do, then be inspired to protect her as they would their own child.”

With Brolga now an award-winning piece, Mr Young continues to build a reputation for work that not only showcases artistic skill but also encourages appreciation and protection of the natural world.

Over the weekend of March 20 and 21, the thespians from the Ingham Theatre Group (ITG), came together to perform a series of one act plays, skits and other items, over three performances, for appreciative audiences at the Forrest Beach Progress Associations, community hall.

As a result of the Kelly Theatre being unavailable following severe damage from last year’s flood event, the Groups yearly One Act Play performance, had to be shifted to a new venue. The hall at Forrest Beach provided the ideal place for community theatre, and the staging of the yearly performance. We could not have chosen a better place!

Preparations for the event, entitled, In Good Audience, proudly produced by Steven Veltmeyer, started early this year with the group selecting and casting an eclectic range of short items featuring comedy, drama, improvisation and youth theatre. A hectic schedule of line learning and rehearsals ensued. It culminated after two months in a weekend of performance which not only involved the players but also supporting members of other community groups.

Three performances were scheduled for the weekend, regardless of the inclement weather caused by Cyclone Narelle. Friday night, Saturday night and for the first time, a Saturday afternoon matinee, for patrons who prefer not to travel at night. All of the shows were well attended with over to 200 patrons overall for the weekend.

The program, enjoyed by the audiences, was varied and included comedic skits, short dramatic one act plays, theatre sports and a vocal item. The items showcased the talents of club members from seventy-year-olds to primary school children.

A highlight of the matinee was the first performance of our Junior Theatre group, mostly young Primary School aged children, to the community at large. Their performance of The Magic Lamp, wonderfully directed by their club teacher Kimberley Veltmeyer, was well received by the audience. We are very proud of this group, which only commenced in 2025, as it allows our club to introduce to and involve younger members of our community in the dramatic arts.

Audiences at all three performances, which lasted for approximately ninety minutes, expressed a high level of enjoyment in the program and especially to the chance of experiencing drama at the Forrest Beach venue. For us the weekend was a complete success!

We would like to thank the members of the Forrest Beach Progress Association and the Forrest Beach Surf Life Saving Association who provided support for the performances and to the Hinchinbrook Shire Council who provided a Community Grant of $600 to go towards the costs of running the event. Thanks also to Our Lady of Lourdes Primary School and to Hinchinbrook Rotary Club who generously helped with provision of equipment for the event.

Thanks to all the drama lovers who attended. Where would we be without you? We are eagerly looking forward to next year’s One Act Plays.

COMMUNITY THEATRE IS ALIVE AND WELL IN INGHAM!

Cassowary Coast Library & Museum Services, in partnership with Mamu Health Service, is inviting families and community members to a special evening event at the Innisfail Library on Friday, 27 March, from 5pm to 7pm.

‘Night at the Library’ will transform the library into a lively hub of activities after hours, with shared storytelling, multicultural craft activities, a family photo booth, and a community meal provided by Mamu Health Service. The event aims to give families who may not usually attend library programs, or who cannot visit during regular hours, a chance to connect, celebrate, and enjoy a sense of belonging.

Cassowary Coast Regional Council Mayor Teresa Millwood highlighted the importance of the event.

“A Night at the Library is a wonderful opportunity for families and community members to come together, share stories, and celebrate the vibrant cultures that make our region so special,” Mayor Millwood said.

“Libraries are more than just places for books, they are hubs for connection, learning, and community, and this event is a perfect example of that.”

Cassowary Coast Regional Council are thrilled to partner with Mamu Health Service to bring the event to life, with Councillor Trudy Tschui adding how much Council are looking forward to seeing the community come together.
