Independently Owned, Locally Grown, Community Loved
Local member Nigel Dalton has completed his final laps for the annual Laps for Life campaign, using the challenge to raise awareness about youth suicide prevention and the importance of mental health support. Over the month of March, Mr Dalton swam around 20 kilometres and raised nearly $1,000 for ReachOut Australia, helping fund resources aimed at supporting young Australians experiencing mental health struggles. As the community heads into Queensland Youth Week from April 6–12, the campaign highlights the need for open conversations and stronger support networks for young people in Mackay. Local services, including MADEC Australia, continue to play a vital role in connecting young people with help and encouraging them to seek support before reaching crisis point.

Footy Returns As Brahmans Gear Up For Big Season The Whitsunday Brahmans RLFC gathered on April 12th to mark the launch of an exciting new season. Mayor Ry Collins was in attendance to show his support for an iconic local team. “It was fantastic to hear about the work the club has put in over the off-season,” Mayor Collins said. “With a new coach at the helm and some strong signings – including former NRL player Adam Clydesdale – there’s plenty to be excited about heading into the season.” The launch was a great success with more than 120 people in attendance. Café Trilogy provided an outstanding roast dinner for all whilst the RSL delivered exceptional service. MC Trevor Nosworthy ensured the night ran smoothly, keeping the guests entertained. The program included interviews with new recruits, coaches, volunteers and Club President Lisa Milne. A standout highlight was seeing the entire club come together to celebrate the season ahead and acknowledge the hard work and dedication show during pre-season. A standout announcement was the introduction of an open women’s team for 2026. “There is a strong sense of excitement across both the club and the wider community as we head into the new season. Building towards the first game is always a special time. We’ve worked hard to foster a welcoming, family-friendly environment throughout pre-season, where players and their families feel comfortable and connected, which makes the lead-up even more meaningful,” said Sarah Milne, Treasurer, Social Media and Events Manager. The first match of the season will be played on the weekend, April 18th against the Magpies at their home ground in Mackay. The team are proud to be hosting Round 2 at Les Stagg Oval on ANZAC Day where the team will wear specially designed commemorative jerseys. There will also be community-focused events planned throughout the season including Family Field Day, Ladies and many more to come. Best of luck to the team for what is hopefully an outstanding season. Captions The Whitsunday Brahmans RLFC will soon play their first match of the season in Mackay. Photo source: Facebook
