Read the full storyHi Everyone,
Happy New Year!
I hope everyone had a wonderful time over Christmas.
Before the New Year, I was living in both the Whitsundays and in Hinchinbrook but now I am up here in Hinchinbrook all the time. No more 10 hours of driving every single week, and I think it will be for the better!
Over the Christmas period I travelled to Adelaide where my family live and it was really nice to see them and also have some time catching up with friends too (maybe too much fun!) So much fun in fact I will be doing Dry January.
Over the weekend I enjoyed some time down in Townsville, I went to the cinema to watch Nosferatu and Paddington in Peru. I used to love visiting the cinema back in Adelaide but since moving up to regional Queensland I hadn’t been to the cinema in months. I decided to watch two movies in one day because both films interested me and I really enjoyed it. I liked Nosferatu for its creepy atmosphere, dark lighting and great acting, and Paddington was good for its light heartedness.
Townsville is quite a big drive for a cinema trip, so I am looking forward to the JL Kelly Theatre showing of Heretic later this month. My parents have seen it and they say I will enjoy it, so I’m looking forward to that one!
Going into the New Year, I look forward to continuing to serve the community with this free newspaper and I hope we all have a great 2025.
