It’s officially debutante ball season in the Burdekin, with St Colman’s hosting a beautiful evening over the weekend to start off the calendar. Deb Balls are such a unique part of our community’s traditions, elegant, meaningful, and a rite of passage that many locals’ treasure. I know so many people look forward to these events each year, whether it’s to support family or relive fond memories.
Another fantastic local event was the Burdekin Machinery Preservationists Open Day. What an incredible showcase of history and heritage! It was a great opportunity for the community to not only see machinery from days gone by, but to meet the passionate locals keeping this history alive. Their dedication is inspiring and a true asset to our region.
Don’t forget - Rotary Duck Day is coming up this Saturday 18 May. It’s fun for all ages and another great example of our volunteer groups creating joy and giving back to the community. Let’s support them and enjoy a quacking good day out!
