This year's ANZAC Day saw hundreds turn out to remember the efforts of Australia and New Zealand's great service men and women. Veterans, schools, clubs and businesses poured into the streets to march in grand parades, and packed in close to attend services held across the Hinchinbrook Shire. Beautiful wreaths were lain and the bugles mournful tones echoed across respectful silences as flags were lowered to half mast. A gunfire breakfast, coffee and traditional ANZAC biscuits kept everyone going

Allan Colquhoun grew up in Sydney, but his life has taken him far beyond the city limits. In his youth, he worked with a station owner named Bob, whose property combined dairy and sheep farming with a focus on Jersey bulls and cows. One vivid memory that’s stayed with him is of Bob chasing down a bull meant for butchering on his stock horse —a beast that, to Allan’s amazement, climbed over the holding fence one hoof at a time to escape. Allan spent most of his working life as a coastal travelle

As the town’s sole salon, Sola has quickly earned its place as a cherished hub of beauty and connection. Owner Tennille Capstick shared her heartfelt gratitude for the warm embrace she’s received from locals.
“Honestly, it’s been overwhelming to see just how kind and generous people are,” Tennille said.
“They’re so grateful to have a hairdresser back in Cardwell, and I’m equally grateful to be part of this beautiful community.”
At Sola the Salon, all your haircutting needs are taken care of, including ladies, men's, children’s, and Tenille’s favourite—colours.
“I have a particular interest in balayage and lived in blonde transformations. That's what I love to do,” said Tennille.
“I love seeing people's faces when you do a big transformation, something that they've never had done before, or perhaps techniques that they've not had done on them before.
“At the end, people will say, ‘I love it,’ and that’s a feel-good moment for me.”
Tennille is a born-and-bred Ingham local. After some time away, she has returned to start her family while also being close to her family, who reside here.
“We love the lifestyle as well the weather, but we love fishing and doing all those sorts of things, which we couldn’t really do where we used to live,” she said.
Tennille travelled around the country but returned to Ingham with her husband in 2020. She found herself in other jobs outside of her passion for hairdressing, but now she is happy to be back in the industry and is looking forward to a busy 2025.
