A Moment With Miah

This past week, I was involved in a car crash that could have ended far worse than it did and although it has taken me a full week to fully process what happened, I am so grateful for everyone who has taken the time to check I’m ok.

Thankfully, I’m on the mend, but the road to recovery has been made smoother by the overwhelming support from our incredible community.

I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to Kari Ravizza, whose quick actions and kind words helped more than she can know. Kari was there by my side shortly after the accident and for that I am truly grateful.

Charlie from Sweet FM and John Furnell also deserve a special mention for their support during this time. And a big thank you to Mayor Pierina Dalle Cort for her thoughtful gestures and continued encouragement.

Your kindness has reinforced just how strong and caring our Burdekin community is. It’s moments like these that remind me of the unity and compassion we share.

You’ll be pleased to know that I was able to get back on the road thanks to a hire car, so it is business as usual (although a little more cautious) and I am building my confidence on the roads once again.

In lighter news, I’m excited to highlight the Burdekin Water Festival. This year’s festivities were as vibrant and engaging as ever, celebrating our region’s spirit and heritage.

Be sure to join in the fun and make the most of the festival’s activities!

Once again, thank you all for your support. It’s a privilege to be part of such a wonderful community.

Miah
