Hi everyone! I hope you have all been enjoying the warmer weather, I know I have!

It was amazing to see how many people filled Queen Street for the 2024 Burdekin Water Festival Grand Parade last month! The drone footage posted by Burdekin Drones was awesome! I had the pleasure of interviewing Cole, Stella, Demi and Brielle a couple of issues back, and it was so lovely to hear their stories from their time as Ambassadors, and it has been wonderful to see all the great things they have all been doing around the community since!

With the festivities of the Burdekin Water Festival finished for this year, it’s time to get excited for the Home Hill Harvest Festival and all the events to come before the Grand Parade on the 9 November.

With the Home Hill Harvest Festival Students’ Ball tomorrow evening, I have been reminiscing on my own Students’ Ball experiences, and it’s certainly a wonderful night every year 10, 11 and 12 student should attend.

As some of you may know, I attended Ayr State High School, and like other schools, it has become a tradition for the graduating class to arrive to the red carpet in a school bus, and that’s exactly what we did! I’m very excited to see what fun arrivals are in store for the 2024 Students’ Ball, and although I won’t be able to pop down to the Memorial Hall to see for myself, Miah will be there, camera in hand, so make sure to say hi!

There are certainly plenty of events on the calendar for the next few months, and I’m very excited to say that I am down to my very last week of university, and by December I’ll have graduated with a Bachelor of Communications and Journalism! EXCITED IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT!

I hope you all have a great weekend ahead, enjoy the read, and chat soon!
