Well, it’s not every day we get to showcase our region to a national audience, and I couldn’t be prouder. From our vibrant community spirit to our incredible local produce, the Burdekin truly has something special. How great was it to show the rest of Australia on the TODAY show when the weather team come to town!
Adding even more fun to the visit was the Burdekin’s Sweetest School Competition contestants, where local students brought in their homegrown sugarcane and proudly displayed their agricultural skills. It was a great way to involve our schools, celebrate the next generation, and honour the industry that’s at the heart of our community.
This Sunday, I’ll be travelling to Townsville with our CEO to meet with Queensland State Ministers as part of the upcoming Cabinet visit. This is a vital opportunity for us to present the Burdekin’s needs directly to decision-makers and ensure our community’s priorities are front and centre. I look forward to advocating on behalf of our residents.
And of course – we are now gearing up for one of the biggest events on our calendar, the Sweet Days, Hot Nights Festival on Friday 30 and Saturday 31 May. It is almost time to celebrate our rich culture, community, and the fiery tradition of the First Fire. I hope to see you there as we showcase the best of the Burdekin.
