Independently Owned, Locally Grown, Community Loved
My name is Marley Abeleven. I’m 15 years old, raised right here in the Hinchinbrook Region, and I’m super excited to start sharing some of my writing with you all!
If you know me, you probably already know I can usually be found at the beach, sketching something random in my art book, attempting to survive boxing training, or making terrible jokes to get a laugh out of people. I’ve always loved anything creative, especially writing. Ever since I was little, I’ve been filling notebooks with stories, ideas, reviews, and observations about life in our little corner of the world.
One of my favourite things about Hinchinbrook is that there’s so much happening here! Amazing places, local events, hidden gems, talented people and plenty of stories worth telling. Sometimes younger people need someone to talk about it from a different perspective… and that’s where I come in!
My articles will be a teenage take on local events, attractions, and life around the region and hopefully with a bit of humour mixed in too. Think less “serious reporter” and more “your slightly chaotic local teenager with opinions”. So far, I have had lots of fun reporting on the Markets at the Mosaic and tried my hand at sports reporting, with the help of Victoria Velton, our own Hinchinbrook Life journalist, in last week's paper.
I’m also counting down the days until I turn 16 so I can finally join the Ingham Theatre Group, because performing arts and drama are definitely my thing.
I can’t wait to share my adventures, opinions, and reviews with you all, and hopefully bring a few younger readers along for the ride too!
