Another week, another chance to meet more of you lovely people!
This week was definitely a real “welcome to the industry” kinda week—full-on, non-stop. This followed right through the weekend, with three huge events to cover. But it was great to see the community out in force, embracing each other and making the most of the Burdekin experience.
From a full morning of Anzac Day services on Friday to the Burdekin Sugar Rush on Sunday, each event was busy, spirited, and enjoyable to cover. The Canefield Ashes were definitely a highlight—the vibes were immaculate on Saturday arvo, with entertainment going well beyond the cricket. Drinks flowed, the footy played on the big screen, and a DJ kept the place bouncing 'til late.
I managed to fit in some time this week to watch the boys over at Burdekin FC scrape a 3-2 victory in the rematch of last seasons grand-final, a true showcase of that Burdekin grit as they came back from behind with just nine men. How’s that for free entertainment on a Saturday?
Earlier in the week, I had the chance to chat with Hugh Montgomery—a key figure of Burdekin FC’s history. Hugh's story is quite remarkable, and it was an absolute privilege to be able to pick the brain of an individual so enshrined in not only the club's history, but also within the Burdekin community as a whole. I tried my best to do his story justice in this week's edition of "Golden Oldies."
Looking ahead, I myself am looking to try some new sports this week. I have my sights set on Tuesday night pickleball and Wednesday night bowls (I feel sorry for whoever ends up on my team in either).
Anyways, here’s to another big week!
