Drop in with Daniel

Hi Everyone

I hope you have all had a great week.

This week I embraced the Christmas spirit at the Lucinda Carols, the warm weather and blue skies reminded me of Adelaide, where I grew up.

I am approaching my first month here in Hinchinbrook and I am experiencing my first wet season, it is exactly how imagined it . . . wet! We get wet weather down in Adelaide, but nothing could prepare me for this. I do however, enjoy watching the thunderstorms,  especially when the sky lights up in flashes.

This time next week will be Christmas Eve, and the team and I will be enjoying some much-needed time off. I will be in Adelaide with my family, and I hope you all enjoy some time with yours too.

I am looking forward to going back to my home town for the holidays and spending some time catching up with all my friends too.

I am not sure if many of you know this, but I have been travelling up and down the coast since I started this position with Hinchinbrook Life Newspaper.

For almost a year prior to taking on this new position, I have been living in the Whitsundays working for our sister publication Mackay and Whitsunday Life Newspaper.

For the last four weeks, since we started Hinchinbrook Life, I have been travelling between the Whitsundays and Ingham every week, that’s eight hours of driving per week!

In the New Year however, I am pleased to announce that I will be committing to a full-time position here and living locally. I will always be around and ready to attend all of your events and I can’t wait!

Daniel
