Hi Everyone,
Great to see so many people in the community celebrate the end of a successful year – from the Year 12 graduating students through to local businesses embarking on a busy Christmas period – there is certainly a lot going on!
A big congratulations to all local students graduating this year. Completing your school career is one of the biggest moments of your life and I am sure we all have our own special memories of the day we walked through the high school gates for the last time.
Whether graduates are embarking on an apprenticeship or leaving for university, we all wish them a fun-filled summer full of adventure and freedom! A well-deserved break no doubt.
Another highlight of the paper this week, is the page 3 story about the ‘Three Blokes Running’. I found their commitment to raising awareness about mental health very inspiring.
To think that six men a day in Australia die due to suicide is a shocking statistic.
It means the lives of six Aussie families are shattered every day, 180 families a month.
Let’s all support these three young men as they run 180 kilometres each, one kilometre for each life lost this month.
You can do this by attending a charity event at Queen’s Hotel this Sunday.
Incredibly, the ‘Three Blokes Running’ have already raised $7K, let’s help them reach $10K!
In other news, the photo of the week this week goes to the Junior Home Hill Cricket Association. Thank you for the incredible submission from a club member who managed to capture the youngsters playing to a backdrop of the cane fields ablaze.
Flip over the newspaper to see the photo on the back cover.
There is nothing more ‘Burdekin’ than seeing this unique sight, and I remember my own son pointing it out with excitement when we were driving into town recently.
