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.

Loneliness doesn’t always look like isolation, it can sneak in quietly. When you feel flat around people, keep busy to avoid thinking, or just don’t feel like “yourself.”
In small towns like Ingham, where life is full and familiar, it can be hard to speak up.
That’s why we’re growing our team here at Tumbleweed Therapies. We’ve been offering outreach clinics in Ingham for over two years now, and we’re excited to welcome Lucia Bunce, an accredited counsellor, to the local team. Lucia brings seven years of experience, a calm, grounded approach, and a passion for helping people feel heard and understood.
Whether it’s stress, anxiety, low mood, grief, burnout or something else you can’t quite name, having someone to talk to can make all the difference. Having someone to talk to is the first step toward overcoming loneliness.
Take the time to check in on yourself so you’re in the right space to check in on others, too.
Support is closer than you think. Contact the Tumbleweed Therapies team on 07 4463 8679, or email intake@tumbleweedtherapies.com and check out their website: www.tumbleweedtherapies.com.au.
Help is right around the corner.
