Victoria’s View 3 february

Hiya Hinchinbrook Shire, It’s been a big week for news, with so much happening that our paper feels like it’s bursting. With Tones & I coming to our little town, Felix Reitano being honoured with an OAM, and the 15th anniversary of Cyclone Yasi, it was hard to fnd room for all the stories unfolding across Hinchinbrook! Tis will also be the edition where I announce I’ll be on holiday for two weeks, but not to worry, my colleague Sebastian will be flling in as journalist on the ground in Hinchinbrook. So all your stories will still have an ear to bend and someone to report on them. I’ll be heading of to a very large family reunion for a special occasion... My great-grandmother is turning 100! She’s an amazing lady and the heart of our family, and I can only hope to be half as wonderful as her when I reach her age. Victoria Fun fact: My great-grandmother is still sharp as a tack. Her hobbies include beating both my grandmother and mother in crossword puzzles, and teaching us all new words in Scrabble.
