‘Sweet Days Hot Nights’ was another terrific event, despite the rain providing a little too much moisture for the burning. What a wonderful way of celebrating the life blood of the Burdekin, Australia’s cane capital. Judging by the number of wrist bands others and I put on I think it was the best attended so far. The food and entertainment was outstanding but the best thing I observed was people coming together, chatting, smiling, catching up with visitors and people not seen for a while.I had the pleasure of being MC at two ‘Biggest Morning Teas’, put on by Burdekin Neighbourhood Centre and Shirley Gilmore. Both events were well attended with lots of prizes and raised much needed funds for ‘Cancer Council Queensland’. At Shirley’s there were a number of speakers including Carolyn and her friend Carol from New Guinea. We forget how good we have it in Australia when you hear stories from our close neighbours north. There is limited assistance for women going through Breast Cancer and wages are low.Well done to all those involved in the recent ‘Drama Festival’, maybe some budding stars of tomorrow, just getting up there is an achievement and a mention to all those behind the scenes. I remember working at the ‘Seymour Theatre Centre’ many moons ago and a budding actor was doing a performance with NIDA. A young high school girl was sick and didn’t get to see the whole performance so we arranged a meeting after the show, she was pretty chuffed getting her pic with a very young and handsome Mel Gibson. Budget deliberations are coming to a close and a recent citizenship ceremony welcomed more Australian residents to the Burdekin. The business community enjoyed inspiring speakers at the ‘Industry Breakfast’ yesterday and we celebrated the great work of the ‘Chappies’ this morning for breakfast. I’m looking forward to the official opening of the game changing ‘Macro Algae’ project tomorrow and celebrating Bendigo Banks 20th anniversary on the 26th.‘Health and happiness to you all and go Cowboys’
