Read the full storyHi Everyone, and Merry Christmas Eve.
I want to start by saying Merry Christmas, I hope everyone is having a lovely time. This is our 5th edition of Hinchinbrook Life and I’m so happy to hear that everybody loves it. This is our last paper of the year, with the first edition next year coming out on the 7th of January, so Happy New Year too.
This week you will see on our front-page Paul Cavallaro’s Christmas lights. Last Monday the team and I travelled to see the lights, a huge thank you to our new Sales Account Manager Sherie Hensler-Adams for driving us out there, without her exceptional driving skills and local knowledge I think we may have got lost!
The lights at Paul’s place are mesmerising, the images we took on the night cannot do the display justice. There are moving lights, bouncing lights and flashing lights, and it definitely made us feel alive with Christmas spirit.
By the time you are reading this, I will have returned to my home-city of Adelaide to spend time with my family over Christmas and will hopefully be enjoying warm weather that isn’t wet! I haven’t seen my friends and family for several months now, so it’ll be nice to go back and catch-up.
If you read last week’s edition, you’ll know that when I get back from Adelaide I will be full time up here in Hinchinbrook, and no longer travelling between here and the Whitsundays – the driving has been exhausting so I am looking forward to making this new step, and continuing to serve the community with this paper.
Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
