Drop in with Daniel

Hi everyone,

I hope you have all had a great week.

This weekend, I enjoyed a trip to Wallaman Falls. It probably wasn’t the greatest idea because it was roasting hot, but I enjoyed the walk, and the waterfall was spectacular. I’m looking forward to continuing to explore the region and especially to finding nice swimming spots during the hot months ahead.

In other news, I’m thrilled that both political parties have allocated funding to the Bruce Highway, regardless of the election outcome. I have travelled on the Bruce Highway often, mainly on my drive south to the Whitsundays, but I have seen enough of it to know that it needs to be updated. Floodproofing and widening the road are what are needed most in our region, and with the new funding, let’s hope that our issues are resolved.

I also want to mention the fires that are currently in Los Angeles. Although they are far away from here, they remind us that it is vital that we are prepared for natural disasters in our region, particularly floods and cyclones.  

It is particularly hot this week so I want to finish by saying stay cool and enjoy the paper!
