Hi Readers
I’m back from holidays and feeling ready to get back into it, however I do return with some bittersweet news.
But first, the holiday: I had a wonderful week on Norfolk Island with my family, taking in the layered history, intriguing lifestyle and breathtaking beauty of the incredibly unique place.
My favourite moments came when hiking through the national park, swimming in the pristine waters of Emily Bay and exploring the rugged coastline of the small but diverse island.
There was a plethora of history to absorb, with the ruins of the Kingston and Arthur's Vale Historic Area telling a particularly poignant tale.
I found there was slightly too much to cram into an already very busy week, so I certainly hope to return one day.
I would like to share a big thanks to Rachael, Daniel and Chelsea who held the fort while I was away, and I enjoyed flicking through a digital copy of last week’s paper while on the island to keep up with what you’ve all been up to.
I’m now back in the Burdekin but must announce that I will be finishing up my role with Burdekin Life and leaving the region in a month’s time.
I used the word “bittersweet” above; I am excited to return to southeast Queensland to take the next steps in my personal and professional journey, however there are most certainly elements of ‘Burdekin life’ that I will miss dearly.
My last day on the job is Friday, June 7, so I look forward to making the most of my last month here and seeing you all before then!
Please be assured that you are in incredibly safe hands as the team is looking forward to welcoming a fresh face to Burdekin Life who will pick up from where I left off and establish themselves as an equally central part of this wonderful community.
