Tec-NQ House grade 11 boarding student Max has his boots firmly planted in two very different worlds: the rugged, hands‑on life of a central Queensland cattle station, and the bustling day‑to‑day routine of boarding school in Townsville. “I live on a station north of Clermont called Mazeppa,” Max explained. “When I’m not here at school, I live there with my family.” Home for Max is anything but quiet. Mazeppa Station is a working property that runs both cattle and crops, keeping everyone on th

By Victoria Velton At Palm Creek, it was a bright and fresh morning for our 20 parkrunners, with a gentle breeze making the course all the more enjoyable. Welcoming three newcomers to the Palm Creek track, two from Team Veteran, four PBs were recorded, including the Fastest timer. Down on the foreshore, 22 parkrunners took to the scenic path under cool, clear skies. Joined by a great mix of locals and visitors, no doubt in town for the UFO festival, with six newcomers stepping onto the course f

In 2025, they’ll be recognised as a Queensland Full Scope Community Pharmacy involved in the Queensland Health pilot. Enabling them specially training pharmacists to provide consultations and even prescribe treatments for specific range of conditions.
Owner Brenden Seri believes this new service will be a game-changer for the local community, providing accessible care for a variety of conditions.
“The consultations will cover things like earaches, shingles, and school sores, and they will be offered at a fee-for-service basis—it’s not bulk-billed or anything like that,” Brenden explained.
“We will be able to autonomously prescribe, within a set of guidelines, and I think it's only going to add to better health outcomes for the community, because we should also be able to refer the cases that need doctor or hospital in a more timely manner, resulting in better treatment.”
The new consultations will bring something fresh to the community, further enhancing the unique services Wholelife Pharmacy & Healthfoods in Ingham already provides.
In 2021, Brenden and business partner Atlanta Knuth took on the Wholelife Pharmacy & Healthfoods brand, expanding their offerings to include Healthfoods.
“We can offer advice and provide a range of products that complement medicines, taking this pharmacy beyond just somewhere to pick up your prescriptions. Now, you can come and shop the awesome range,” said Brenden.
“You can make healthy choices and get your organic items. If you have seen our fridges and freezer section, do yourself a favour and do that as soon as possible—it’s something Ingham didn’t really have. If we don’t have your favourite product ask the staff our available via our suppliers in over 12000 health food items and growing every month.”
“We have lots of cafés, and plenty of options for food, but we didn’t have many options when it came to health food shopping.”
