Drop in with Daniel

Hello everyone

I hope you all had a great long weekend.

I am writing this on Friday the 24th of January, before the Australia Day awards, but I want to express a huge congratulations to all of the nominees. As a nominee you have displayed an outstanding contribution to the Hinchinbrook community and it is a great honour.

As I approach my first month living in the Hinchinbrook region I am blown away at the love and care that is in this community. Some people live and breathe Hinchinbrook and their dedication to making this community what it is today.

Majority of you here reading this are used to the hot weather up here, but I must admit coming from Adelaide this heat is truly something else.

In Adelaide, we get some warm days, but our evenings are usually cool, until about February and March, and then evenings are consistently warm. But here, the evenings are still roasting hot.

I leave the gym in the evening and am met with a wall of humid, sticky heat. I don’t know how I see people going on their runs but good on them.

Hope you all have a wonderful week, and enjoy the paper.
