Community Day last Thursday brought together everyone from juniors to seniors, and a few firemen, to enjoy the formal re-opening of the community facilities at TYTO. There was story time and robotics, along with computer classes and colouring. The cake was cut and councillors and community alike enjoyed the sweetness of jovial conversations among the stacks of the beloved library.

In a heartening reminder of the value of rural health care, the Ingham Health Service recently celebrated nine years since the reopening of its maternity service — and what better way to mark the occasion than with the birth of four babies in just 24 hours? On the 7th and 8th of April, four mothers; Giorgia Firmi, Marites Carao, Hannah Bestmann, and Leah Dingwell, welcomed their little ones into the world, creating a unique bond not only between their babies, but among themselves as part of thi

An elusive and endangered species, the mahogany glider is receiving new hope thanks to a collaborative conservation effort underway in North Queensland.

Palm Creek was packed with energy, with 28 runners out on the course, including six travellers and four new PBs — myself included! I don't wear a watch when I run, so it's always a nice surprise to see how much I've improved each week. This time, I aimed to really push myself, going for 35 minutes (I usually run closer to 40). Fellow runner Maria and I kept each other paced and competitive, both striving to improve, and we finished at 36 minutes, just 10 seconds apart! Thank you to Steven in the cheer squad and the ladies at the finish line for all your encouragement.
Cardwell saw a huge leap in numbers this week, with 42 participants, including 16 visitors and new faces — what a fantastic turnout! Congratulations to Dave Morris on completing 25 parkruns, and a big thank you to him as well for donating post-run Zooper Doopers. Well done to Margot and Rachelle on achieving new PBs. Welcome to all the visitors this morning, and thanks to all the volunteers.
Remember, you can grab a coffee or post-parkrun brekkie with friends afterwards. The Cardwell crew love the atmosphere (and milkshakes!) at Seabreeze Café Lounge, and you’re welcome to join in too!
