James Cook University (JCU) researchers are calling for urgent government support to protect the spectacled flying-fox from extinction as new and escalating threats push the species closer to the brink. Despite their reputation as noisy and messy neighbours, spectacled flying-foxes play a vital role in the survival of Australia’s rainforests, travelling vast distances to pollinate flowers and spread seeds at levels unmatched by any other species.

Read the full storyHi 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
