The 2023 crushing season has wrapped up! It's definitely something I'm grateful for this holiday season. Having completed the 2022 crushing this year also, I believe I'm not alone in eagerly anticipating a well-deserved break. As the kids enjoy their time off from school and various industries wind down for the annual Christmas shutdown, many of us are gearing up to unwind and savour moments with our loved ones.
I’d like to congratulate everyone who worked hard in the sugar industry this year. From the mill workers to the harvester and haulout operators, to the farmers, you all did an amazing job in producing one of our most important crops. You deserve a round of applause and a well-earned break.
As we celebrate the festive season, let us not forget that not everyone is feeling merry and bright. I urge you to look out for each other this time of year, check in on your loved ones and see how they are doing. Offer a listening ear or a helping hand. Be compassionate and supportive. You never know how much difference you can make in someone's life.
Burdekin Shire Council recently hosted a mental wellness event, Kick Off the Conversation, where Ross Romeo and Wally Lewis spoke about their personal experiences with mental health. They shared their stories of overcoming adversity and finding hope, reminding us that we are not alone and that help is available. They encouraged everyone to seek professional help if needed it and to reach out to support networks.
As the year comes to an end, I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Be safe on the roads, water, and in all your adventures. Enjoy the holidays and cherish the moments with your loved ones.
