Some weeks in this job are all about chasing headlines, while others are about stepping back and touching what really keeps the community ticking.
It’s Home Hill in the spotlight this week—a place that punches well above its weight when it comes to the businesses that keep people fed, fixed, and fuelled. This week, I had the pleasure of meeting the faces behind The Prawn Shop, where one little crustacean-filled roll managed to make the leap from Bruce Highway pit stop to national TV fame.
And there’s Liessmann & Son’s, who’ve spent 55 years plumbing the depths (literally) of the region’s gas and water needs—without ever losing that easygoing, “we’ll sort it” attitude.
While both are vastly different in what they offer, both have a common, foundational bond as pillars of community spirit and resilience, subtly powering the Burdekin through day-to-day life. You can learn more about their stories later in this issue.
As for me? Well, still plugging away. I'm in the process of lining up some intriguing interviews, so stay tuned for those.
