Hello Burdekin!
You may have noticed something a little different about this week’s paper – Burdekin Life has a fresh new look!
After five years of the same masthead across the Life newspapers, we felt it was time to embrace a more modern design that reflects the natural beauty of our region. The new green–blue gradient draws inspiration from our lush hinterland and the Great Barrier Reef, which connects all four Life Publishing newspapers. It’s a bright new chapter for us, and we hope you love the new look as much as we do.
As we continue to grow (having quietly ticked over two years in the Burdekin!), I’d like to say a huge thank you to everyone who supports the paper each week — our loyal readers, valued advertisers, Council, Chamber, and the many community groups we’re proud to work alongside. Your ongoing support keeps local, independent news alive and free for everyone to enjoy.
A special thanks also goes to Mayor Pierina Dalle Cort, who joined us at our Enchanted Garden event held in the Whitsundays last month — it was wonderful to have her and Trevor there with us. We’re looking forward to continuing those conversations and exploring a charity event in the Burdekin next year to give back to the community that supports us so strongly.
Finally, a big shout-out to our incredible team — from our passionate on the ground journalist Jacob Casha to our dedicated Sales Manager Trish Jandt and all our design and production crew who bring each edition to life every week.
Here’s to a fresh new look, a strong community, and another year of stories worth sharing.
