Hello, readers, and welcome to the last edition of Burdekin Life for 2023.
What a year it’s been! I always enjoy reflecting on the year that was when it comes to December and this year, like the last couple of years, has been one of massive change for me.
From memory, my new year’s resolution at the end of 2022 was to establish a solid social circle around me in my then home of Mackay. I certainly achieved that and found myself surrounded by lots of lovely people. Having moved to the Burdekin, I find myself starting again, but am well on my way.
The move to the Burdekin will be the decision that defines my 2023. It’s certainly one I wasn’t expecting at the start of the year – sometimes when I’m walking down Eighth Avenue, I take a step back and think, ‘How the hell did I get here?’ – but I’m so glad I made the move and opened myself up to this new experience.
In saying that, I am so incredibly keen to take a break from work and spend the holidays on the Darling Downs with my family and friends. First, a few days in Millmerran where I will enjoy sipping on a beer and eating prawns while floating on the family dam. Then I’m off to spend the rest of the week with my girlfriend’s family near Toowoomba where I believe swimming will also be on the cards. And when December 26 is upon us, I’ll be parked up in front of the tele eagerly anticipating the first ball of the Boxing Day test.
Whatever you’re up to this holiday season, I hope you enjoy it, make the most of your time with your loved ones, and look after those who might not be as fortunate. Have a merry Christmas and I’ll see you next year!
A reminder that there will be no newspaper next Thursday, December 28 and our next edition will hit the stands on Thursday, January 4.
