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.

This week I have seen the generosity from not only people here in Hinchinbrook but from all over Queensland.
I had the pleasure of attending the Herbert River Sub Branch RSL – Ingham on Friday to see Clubs Queensland donating $75k to the Hinchinbrook Community Support Centre. Clubs from all over Queensland came together to make this donation, and I couldn’t think of a better place for this thoughtful donation to go to.
It seems kindness is everywhere I go lately and community members love sharing their stories with me, which are always an honour to hear.
This past week I was approached by an Apex village resident, so she could say thank you to two ladies that had helped her during the flood.
I was also approached to run a story about a local retail store worker who donated money that was donated to him, paying one kind deed forward to help another.
As you continue reading the paper you will see more kind donations and uplifting stories of hope as we navigate our way out of the last few challenging months.
I would love to hear more about these stories, if you would like to say a thank you to anybody in the paper, please write to me at daniel@lifepublishinggroup.com
This paper is comprised of local stories - if you read through you will notice that almost every article is from this region and usually involves a local person.
So, if you are reading this note and have a story to share, but think perhaps your story may not be exciting enough - then don't! We would love to hear from you!
This paper is built on local stories and no story is too big, or too small to share.
