It’s been an eventful couple of weeks in the Burdekin! I had the pleasure of meeting with the incredible participants from Scootaville, who were on a charity ride raising funds for Legacy and Homeless Veterans. These dedicated riders journeyed from Chermside to Townsville, stopping overnight at the Ayr Showgrounds. I even hopped on a scooter myself and joined them as they rode into town—it was a fantastic experience, all for a worthy cause.
I also had the honour of attending the 70th Anniversary of the Giru Show. It was so wonderful to see such a strong turnout to celebrate this milestone event. The community spirit was truly alive, and I was thrilled to be part of the festivities and share a few words. It was a fantastic day for Giru and all who attended.
This week, we are excited to welcome Matthew Megin as our new CEO. Matthew brings a wealth of experience and a strong vision for the future of our organisation. We’re looking forward to the leadership he will bring to help guide us in our ongoing efforts.
Please join me in welcoming Matthew to the Burdekin and be sure to say hello if you see him around town.
