Burdekin Christian College (BCC) recently hosted a vibrant and engaging Harmony Week event, showcasing the talents and cultural awareness of their students. The celebrations included an impressive series of performances by the college's senior students, who danced in traditional styles from Fiji, Tonga, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures. The performances were a highlight of the day, and the students' passion for sharing their heritage was evident in every step. As part of their

The value of agriculture in 2025-26 is expected to be the third highest on record at $91 billion. Including fisheries and forestry, The Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences (ABARES) expects the sector to reach $98 billion, according to Executive Director Dr Jared Greenville. “While this is slightly down on an exceptional 2024-25, particularly strong results are forecast for livestock and livestock products – expected to reach a new record value of $40 bil

Sibby Saitta started his clothing business in Queen Street, Ayr 72 years ago in 1952. It commenced trade as a basic tailoring shop of which there were several in town at that time. Sibby tailored made-to-measure men’s suits, trousers and other basic apparel, all made from scratch. As time passed, ready made clothing and fashions became more readily available, so the shop evolved into a retail outlet selling men’s fashions of the day. Work clothing soon became available from factories in Brisban

Simon Hood, Wilmar Manager Grower Marketing
As the ground dries out and activity picks up on farm, so does the activity of our Grower Marketing team. We are in the process of organising our popular shed meetings where we come on farm and update growers on our recent results, the global sugar market and new products or services we can offer.
This will be followed up in June with a regional tour by our Senior Sugar Trader Peter Bingham to deliver an in-depth analysis of global production and consumption forecasts and consequent price expectations. If you’re interested in attending one of these events near you, please reach out to your local consultant to
register your interest.
While talking with growers, consultants have also been setting up the pricing mechanisms for the 2025 season and checking that GEI nomination estimates line up with initial crop estimates. For growers who want to control their pricing more closely we recommend using the Grower Managed
Production Risk Scheme (GMPRS) for the last third of your 2025 season crop over the Production Risk Pool.
While the Production Risk Pool has been performing well over the past few years there is no guarantee of gaining a higher return versus pricing yourself and we have seen many growers achieve above average returns. Those growers who don’t market with Wilmar are unfortunately missing out even further, with our Production Risk Pool currently forecast to pay more than $23 a tonne higher than QSL’s Harvest Pool for the 2024 Season.
A quick reminder for growers that all Call, Target and GMPRS pricing for the 2024 season needs to be completed by 18 of April. On a similar timeline, the set-up of Call and Target pricing for the 2025 season needs to complete by the end of April, so the GMPRS nominations can be opened at the beginning of
May. We are also getting plenty of enquiries about the opening of nominations for the 2026 season Managed Pool Plus, so stay tuned for further announcements on that opportunity.
When not helping growers with pricing and pooling information, the Grower Marketing consultants are out and about in the local communities. We are proud to have extended our sponsorship budget this year to include a range of sporting teams and community activities through the regions.
Recently several Wilmar Sugar and Renewables staff including our Burdekin Business Development Manager, Owen Richards, participated in an International Women’s Day Fun Run organised by Mater Chicks in Pink. The Sugar and Renewables team raised more than $1,200 for breast cancer research.
Ayr State High School proudly participated in this year’s International Women’s Day celebrations, with eight students and staff attending a special brunch hosted by Zonta Club Burdekin Inc. Zonta, a global organisation, is dedicated to building a better world for women and girls.
The school congratulates Year 11 students Caitlyn Cheyne and Tiana Cameron, who were honoured with STEM acknowledgement awards at the event. This recognition encourages and supports young women pursuing careers that make a difference in the world.
Guest speakers included Sarah Chapman, CEO of STEM Changemakers, and Dr Tracey Ahern, a nursing and women’s health advocate—both distinguished Ayr State High School alumni. Their inspiring stories provided valuable insights and motivation for the next generation of young women.

Just three months on from Austin Dewar, Campbell Johnston and Brayden Rawlins’ mammoth fundraising efforts totalling just under $14,000 for men’s mental health, the boys have laced up their running shoes to continue spreading an important message.
Austin, Campbell and Brayden have each witnessed friends and family members experience the toll negative mental health can have, and hope to continue breaking down the stigmas surrounding men’s mental health, sharing the vital message, “It Ain’t Weak To Speak”.
In November of last year, the trio well and truly did just that, and successfully spread waves of awareness both locally within the Burdekin and across the state when they set out to run 180 kilometres each – one for each life tragically lost every month to suicide.
“After we raised $1,000 for men’s mental health and suicide prevention, all three of us knew the sky was the limit, and we wanted to see how far we could take this,” shared Campbell.
The trio knocked over hundreds of kilometres and put in the work from sunrise to sunset across the entire month and were beyond grateful when over 100 members of the Burdekin community joined them to tick off some of their final k’s at a Queen Street fundraising event last November.
“At the run we did in the Burdekin, all three of us were not expecting there to be more than 100 people there - I don’t think we even expected there to be even 50 people there,” explained Brayden.
“After the run, everyone got around and were talking to each other and to us, congratulating us on what we’re doing, and people were telling us that we’re doing a great job of spreading awareness and fundraising which for us was a real eye opener.”
Keeping the momentum, Austin, Campbell and Brayden shared a video which has since gone viral, explaining they’re not holding out until this November to jog on and instead are challenging themselves to complete 100 kilometres each this March to continue spreading their mission and encouraging conversations.
“The Shaka Project announced they’re running 100 kilometres in March for Run for Our Mates so all of us boys sat down and realised we want to push our message to show people that it’s okay to not be okay sometimes,” noted Campbell.

Tears of relief replaced weeks of frustration for North Queensland’s flood-affected farmers as the Federal and Queensland governments approved an increase in disaster funding, boosting grants for primary producers to $75,000.
The announcement, delivered by Senator Nita Green and Federal Member for Kennedy Bob Katter on March 12, comes after weeks of intense advocacy from industry leaders, local politicians, and the farming community. The decision also increases funding for small businesses and not-for-profits to $50,000.
The announcement was made at the farm of CANEGROWERS members Michael and Zenan Reinaudo, whose family property suffered severe flood damage. Their experience mirrors that of many other farmers across the region.
Bob Katter, who has been at the forefront of the push for Category D funding, credited the win to relentless efforts from agricultural organisations and local representatives.
“This funding wasn’t handed down from the heavens—it was won by the fighters on the ground who never backed down,” Mr Katter said.
He singled out CANEGROWERS’ Leah Russo, AgForce Queensland’s Shane McCarthy, and QCAR’s Lawrence Di Bella for their unwavering efforts.
“Yes, we thank the PM and the Minister, but it’s because of this group of people with a tiger in their tank that the grants have finally been activated,” he said.
CANEGROWERS CEO Dan Galligan welcomed the increased support, emphasising that the original $25,000 grant was nowhere near enough to help growers rebuild.
“This increase reflects the rising costs of recovery for growers who have been hit hard by recent flooding,” Mr Galligan said.
“We’ve been clear from the beginning that the original amount was simply inadequate. This boost will make a real difference for those struggling to rebuild.”
QCAR General Manager Lawrence Di Bella described the funding boost as a step in the right direction, though challenges remain.
“This is a really positive step—it will rebuild our industry. Some of the damage is greater than $75,000, so we’ll still be looking for additional funding, but this is a great start,” Mr Di Bella said.
“The money that a farmer produces goes around our community multiple times. This is about rebuilding our entire community, not just individual farms.”
Mr Di Bella spoke of the sheer devastation farmers have faced.
“There were craters the size of swimming pools, tonnes of trash dumped on newly planted sugarcane, headlands washed away, trees uprooted, new creeks carved through fields, dead calves littering paddocks—the list goes on,” he said.
“Now there will be tears of relief with the release of Category D grants.”
AgForce Queensland General President Shane McCarthy agreed, calling the announcement a lifeline.
“This goes a long way to getting farmers back up and producing, which is what they need to do,” Mr McCarthy said.
“It’s not just this flood—it’s the accumulation of a few tough seasons. We need to get our producers back up and doing what they do best.”
Despite the funding win, industry leaders stress that further work is needed to ensure all farmers receive fair support.
QCAR CEO Stephen Ryan noted that current eligibility rules could leave some struggling farmers behind.
“We must now make sure the funding is fair and reaches those who need it,” Mr Ryan said.
Senator Nita Green reiterated the government’s commitment to supporting North Queensland’s recovery.
“This is all part of a bigger disaster recovery response from our two governments,” Senator Green said.
“We will continue to work with people on the ground to identify areas where funding or criteria can be improved.”
For Burdekin farmers, the funding boost brings hope after weeks of uncertainty. However, as industry leaders continue to advocate for further changes, the focus remains on ensuring all affected growers receive the support they need to recover and rebuild.
“This isn’t just about fixing damage—it’s about restoring livelihoods,” Mr Galligan said.
“Our growers have fought hard for this, and we’ll keep fighting to ensure they get the support they deserve.”

Recently a beautiful and rare china tea set, which depicts the Ayr Council Chambers and the Ayr Post Office, made its way to a local radio station. The station is calling on any Burdekin historians or those who might be familiar with the family that donated them, to come forward and help solve a mystery.
“They were sent to Pat Lawson via Victor Cecchin. The Cecchin's had a service station back in the day before they sold it to Romeo motors. After that, I believe it was demolished to become Woolworths,” says Station Manager, Charlie Scuderi.
“These people now live in Sydney, and sent these pieces back up here because this is where they belong. The family doesn't have any emotional connection to them, and that's all we know.”
The fine tea set has now returned “home” to the Burdekin, but it has come with no clues, no answers. Sweet FM is hoping someone in the community can provide more information or context about the tea set as to their history.
“We're looking for somebody who might know the story behind them, such as where they came out, when they came from, and why.”
“Was it an anniversary for a 50 year celebration? Was it something the family had commissioned? If you know please help us,” Charlie pleads.
Two pieces depict the council chambers, the rest depict Ayr post office.
If you can solve the mystery behind this decorative commemorative china tea set, get in touch with Sweet FM on: (07) 4782-8394 or email: admin@sweetfm.com.au.

Since 2013, Phil Derlagen, who owns Complete Health Pharmacy in Home Hill, has been servicing the community. This half Dutch, half Sicilian pharmacist, who graduated in 2010 from Townsville, doesn’t see any two days the same, with a typical one involving a whole range of varying aspects.
“You’ve got to be prepared to see lots of different things. People come in and ask questions that can be straightforward, and at other times it can be quite challenging. For example, trying to make sure that they understand something might be serious and that they need to take it to the doctor. That's probably one of the hardest things,” Phil expresses.
At just 39, Phil noticed changes in the way people now view healthcare, with many taking control of their health needs.
“People like to come to pharmacists because we're just so readily accessible and knowledgeable. After moving to this location near IGA in 2018, we renamed it Complete Health Pharmacy because I saw a shift towards a lot of natural based medicines,” Phil says.
“There are now a lot of people who swear by natural products and it's hard to dismiss. People are actually getting results from some of the treatments they’re doing. It’s a such a growing market. We do a lot of research into the products before we even stock them,” Phil adds.

The floods may have subsided, but the spirit of community in Burdekin remains as strong as ever.
Amidst the devastation that swept through Ingham, a shining beacon of kindness emerged in the form of a man named Troy. When a couple travelling to Townsville became stranded at Plantation Creek on Saturday afternoon, it was the generosity of locals that turned their ordeal into a testament to human kindness.
Troy, a local business owner, offered them a meal and a place to stay for the night—an act of compassion that left them deeply grateful. Earlier in the day, a resident and her daughter provided them with a much-needed cup of coffee, while Suzie from the Drive-In made them a toastie for lunch.
After waiting most of the day for the road to clear, the couple made the difficult decision to leave their car behind. Fortunately, a kind-hearted truck driver offered them a lift all the way to Townsville, ensuring they made it home safely.
Though they eventually had to return to retrieve their vehicle, they remain overwhelmed by the kindness they encountered. They expressed their heartfelt thanks to the Plantation Creek community, describing them as “wonderful people.”
This heartwarming display of generosity serves as a reminder that even in challenging times, small acts of kindness can make a world of difference.
Making it the number one priority of his visit to the Burdekin last week, Federal Member for Dawson, Andrew Willcox, presented Vietnam veteran, Greg Walters, with a Certificate of Appreciation, recognising his service given in the Defence Force.
Mr Willcox also presented the Home Hill RSL with an Australian Flag, which was greatly appreciated and warmly received by the RSL. The members were also witness to Mr Walter receiving his honorary award, making it a notable occasion.
Federal Member for Dawson, Andrew Willcox, was delighted to be able to express his gratitude to Greg Walters, and to do so in person after sacrificing so much for his country, was an honour as he handed over the certificate.
“I was pleased to present Greg with a Certificate of Appreciation for his service during the Vietnam War,” Federal Member for Dawson, Andrew Willcox said.
“Greg’s willingness to put his life on the line for the sake of our country is greatly appreciated.”
Greg, who is now retired and no longer in the Australian armed forces, was both surprised and honoured to receive the award, as it was something he wasn’t expecting.
“It was a great day, and I have already found a spot at home to hang up the Certificate of Appreciation,” Greg said on the special day.
The recent visit, marks yet another occasion that Mr. Andrew Willcox has truly admired and been in awe of the local Burdekin community, many of which seem to always surprise him every time he stops to meet them.
“When I am not down in Canberra for Parliament, I get in the 4WD and hit the Bruce Highway and stop into Regional Queensland towns from Mackay to Townsville,”
“The thing I really love about being the Federal Member for Dawson is meeting incredible people each day and hearing their stories.”

The Burdekin Panthers teams had a successful weekend. The Ladies’ and Men’s Division One teams played in Townsville on Friday, with the Ladies winning 7-0 against Wulguru and the Men drawing 1-1 with Saints Eagles Souths. On Saturday, the Under 23s won 4-2 against Rebels, and the Premiers triumphed 2-1. The Premiers' win marked their first of the season, with Damien Casella and Ryan Scodellaro scoring to secure a 2-1 victory. The Burdekin Tyre Service Reserves also fought hard for a 4-2 win, while the Austral Masonry First Division drew 1-1 against Saints Eagles Souths.
The Ayr Anzac Club Ladies bounced back from a tough match against Brothers, defeating Wulguru 7-0. Ellyana Mugica, Tegan Johnson, Charley Ruskin, Sienna Lago, and Zandi Bonanno scored in the dominant performance. The Ladies will aim for more wins, facing Saints Eagles Souths next Friday.
In juniors, Round 1 kicked off with high spirits despite the heat. Registrations were higher than last year, and the club is working to reconfigure age groups. Masters also had a successful Monday match, with Fulham beating Manchester Utd 4-1.
Nationally, the Socceroos prepare for World Cup qualifiers against Indonesia and China in March. In the A-League, Auckland leads with a six-point advantage over Western Utd, while Melbourne City moved up to third. In the A-League Women, Melbourne City is top, followed by Melbourne Victory in second.
The Quote of the Week comes from Gordon Strachan, humorously commenting on Eric Cantona’s bizarre press conference: "If a Frenchman goes on about seagulls, trawlers, and sardines, he’s called a philosopher. I’d just be called a short Scottish bum talking crap."
My journey here at Burdekin Life has come to an end. Don’t cry. Don’t get angry. Don’t wonder why? Just laugh. That’s what keeps the rocking world going round. If I’ve learned anything in this life, it’s that we all need to laugh more. Life is already hard enough as it is to be taken so seriously all the time. Have a laugh, even at me. I don’t mind. Really, I don’t.
However, I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you to each and every one of you who helped my time within, and outside these pages, so memorable.
I’ve met some truly remarkable people doing truly remarkable things. You’ve each shared your personal stories, struggles, triumphs and more, and put your absolute trust and belief in me. It has been my honour to retell those stories to the best of my abilities. I truly hope I did them proud.
My family and I have been incredibly grateful to be welcomed here into this wonderful community at a time when everything was in flux for us after returning home from 10+ years overseas. There’s a reason the Burdekin, and in particular, Home Hill, found us. And there’s more than enough reasons to want to stay. But it won’t be in the capacity of your local journo.
What’s next? The great unknown! That’s where the real magic is (and always has been). I’ve certainly ventured there many times before to always be surprised. Outside of having our second baby (and my third), the possibilities are infinite.
All I can say now is Thank You to each and every one you who made an impact in my world. I am forever grateful. For now, keep on truckin’.
Sincerely,
Mark T. Rasmussen
International Women's Day (IWD), celebrated on 8 March, is a global occasion that honours and commemorates the ongoing fight for women's equality and liberation, as well as the broader women's rights movement. The day highlights issues such as gender equality, reproductive rights, and the fight against violence and abuse towards women.
This year’s celebration was described as an inspiring event, filled with meaningful conversations, delicious food, and a shared commitment to ‘Accelerate Action’ for gender equality. Over 150 women gathered at a sold-out event, united in their support and solidarity for the cause.
Isabel Stubbs, President of the Zonta Club of Burdekin, was thrilled to be part of a special International Women’s Day event on 9 March at the Masonic Hall. The event, which featured a brunch and various prizes, sold out within a single day.
Caterina Larsen Burdekin Zonta's Secretary reflected on the success of the event, saying, "It was a very wonderful event, so we're extremely happy."
"Our committee did a debrief last night and we realised that there are some areas for improvement, but on the whole, we were very, very happy with how the day turned out."
The Zonta Club, which consists of 20 members, raises funds for vital projects such as birthing kits, priced at just $5 each, and Breast Care cushions, which are distributed both locally and internationally. The club also supports local STEM students and provides essential items to victims of domestic violence.
The club’s commitment to empowering women and girls has had a profound impact on the progress of women's rights, education, and leadership opportunities. The Zontians’ unwavering dedication continues to inspire and drive positive change in society, ensuring that every woman and girl has the opportunity to thrive and reach her full potential.
Membership to the Zonta Club involves international, district, and local fees, totalling approximately £240. Through their collective efforts, the Zontians are helping to build a brighter future for women and girls across the globe.

Thanks to the incredible fundraising efforts of their parent & community committee (P&C), Osborne State School are pleased to announce that they will be completely fee-free for 2025!
Just a short 5-6 minute drive from Home Hill, this small but vibrant school not only creates a leaning environment where every child is valued, supported, and encouraged to thrive, but they can now attend for free thanks to their Fee-Free incentive.
“This year we wanted to do something that focused more on encouraging new students to enrol in our school, as well as supporting those already here. Coming out of Christmas and all the financial burdens that come at the end of the year, to then jump into January to pay school fees, well, we didn't want our parents to have to do that this year,” Carlene Muilwyk, President of P&C at Osborne State School says.
Everyone knows that school fees can be an added strain, and this initiative is Osborne's way of supporting both students and their families, especially those with multiple kids attending.
“We wanted to be able to give families that relief if they're sending more than one student to school. We also provide all stationery, books, a shirt and hat. We’re just trying to take that pressure off of parents so that schooling becomes something that is not a burden, because it shouldn’t be.”
Getting to Osborne State School has never been easier either, with a reliable bus service running from Ham Kelly Drive all the way to Home Hill High, ensuring students have a safe, convenient way to get to and from school each day.
With small class sizes, dedicated teachers, and a strong sense of community, the school offers an education that goes beyond the classroom – fostering hands-on learning, exciting events, and opportunities for every child to shine.
“We have nine students to two teachers. We also have three teachers aides. This helps us to really engage one on one with students, while ensuring individual care to make sure that no one gets lost in the system,” Carlene says.
Described as a family school, to best illustrate that point, last year one of their students lost their home to a fire. Rather than be forced to face the devastation alone, the school gathered around them and got clothes and other items together.
If you're looking for a caring, high-quality education for your child, now is the perfect time to join. Come see why Osborne State School isn’t just a school, it’s a family.
“We're here to learn, but we're here to support each other in every way. When you enrol with us, you join our family,” Carlene concludes with a smile.
Enrolments for 2025 are open. For more information or to arrange a visit, contact Osborne State School on: (07) 4782 6254.
