Hi everyone, it’s me again! Usually, I’m here when Amanda, our former editor, is on holidays, but now I’ll be stepping up into the hot seat and I'm excited for what's ahead! This is my first week without Amanda's guidance, and while I’m sad to see her go, it’s surprisingly not as scary as I expected! I’ve had a few regular contributors reach out with congratulations and kind words of encouragement, which has been so lovely to receive. I’ve always loved the saying, “when one door closes

In a powerful celebration of empathy, leadership, and community spirit, the B Kinder Foundation hosted its very first B Kinder High School Summit on 29 May 2025. Held at Proserpine State High School, the event brought together student leaders from Bowen State High School, Whitsunday Christian College, and St Catherine’s Catholic College.
Far from a typical school event, the summit was designed to inspire students to become agents of change within their schools and communities. Through a series of hands-on activities and guided reflections, students were asked a simple but profound question: “How can I make it better?” The answers that followed were thoughtful, courageous, and full of heart.
Facilitated by Jessi from Illuminate Education Australia, who flew in from Tasmania for the occasion, the summit marked a major milestone for the B Kinder foundation. Over the past seven years, this grassroots movement has evolved into a nationwide initiative, with its B Kinder school program now supporting student leaders across Australia. The program encourages students to roll out five kindness initiatives over the school year and participate in workshops and summits that promote compassionate leadership.
The following day, on 30 May, the Primary School Summit welcomed younger leaders from Whitsunday Christian College, Proserpine State School, and St Catherine’s Catholic College. Both events hosted around 80 students each.
These summits were more than just a day out and were a spark for lasting change. Students left energised, inspired, and ready to carry the message of kindness back into their schools and communities.
As the b kinder foundation continues to grow, events like these are embedding kindness into the heart of education.

Hi Everyone,
Whale season is here, and I’m eagerly awaiting the first sighting!
This is truly my favorite time of year, there’s nothing quite like watching them swim alongside their calves, and send plumes of spray into the sky.
To celebrate, I have had the idea to launch a fun new feature in Ruth2Reef called Whale Watch Weekly! If you capture a photo of one of these incredible whales, please send it to ruth@lifepublishinggroup.com. Your photo could be featured in an upcoming edition, with full credit to you, of course!
And if you come across any other inspiring or interesting environmental stories, I’d love to read those too, so please feel free to send them my way.
Happy whale watching,
Ruth

The first humpback whales we are likely to see close to the islands are pregnant females or females with newborns.
Humpback mothers with calves spend as much of their time logging as possible.
Logging is a form of rest where humpback whales float motionless near the water's surface, much like a log.
They remain near the surface with their blowholes exposed to the air, allowing them to breathe.
Whales must remain conscious while sleeping to breathe. During this resting state, humpback whales shut down only one hemisphere of their brain at a time while the other remains active.
Mothers also spend time logging to conserve energy, because they are relying on their fat reserves to produce 600 litres of milk per day for her calf; until she returns to her feeding grounds in the Antarctic.
It’s important to be on the lookout for whales during the next couple of months, because logging whales can be extremely hard to see.
Last season there was an injured whale reported off Hamilton Island’s Qualia Resort.
It was a good news story. After watching her behaviour for a period of time I was pleased to report she was logging with her calf near her nose.
The first photo is logging behaviour. In the second photo she was no longer logging and has more of a hump.
Please report sick, injured or dead marine life on 1300 130 372

A once-abandoned gold mine near Proserpine is drawing renewed attention after modern testing revealed the presence of a large, mineralised system, with only a small area explored to date.
The historic Dittmer Mine, discovered in 1934 and closed in 1951 after producing more than 54,000 ounces of gold, is being revived by Ballymore Resources. The company rekindled interest in the site last year after mapping and sampling unearthed several high-grade gold zones. Underground explorations have since reopened, alongside the launch of a 3,000-metre diamond drilling program.
Spanning 513 square kilometres, the broader exploration project has also received a $300,000 grant from the Queensland Government to support an 8,051 line kilometre aerial survey. The area includes multiple historic gold and copper prospects.
If mining proceeds, potential extraction methods would include cyanide leaching and flotation, with metallurgical tests confirming the ore is suitable for such processing. However, the prospect of renewed mining has raised environmental concerns among some local residents, particularly around water quality, road access, and impacts on native wildlife.
To address these concerns, Whitsunday MP Amanda Camm visited the Dittmer community recently to engage with residents and provide updates on the project's status. Approximately 60 locals attended the meeting, where Ms Camm emphasised her commitment to transparent communication and due process.
“The current application for development is sitting with the land court to make an independent decision. The hearing was held on the 6th of May and the court has six months to make a decision.”
Ms Camm reassured residents that their concerns would remain central to any decisions moving forward.
“I am committed to representing the priorities and concerns of the Dittmer community, while ensuring any potential development adheres to strict regulation and controls,” she said.
Once a decision is handed down, Ms Camm said she would consult with the relevant Minister to determine the next steps for the project.
The visit provided a platform for open dialogue between community members and government, with residents raising a range of concerns from environmental protections to infrastructure and local wildlife preservation.
As the process unfolds, both residents and project stakeholders will be watching closely to see whether the Land Court’s decision will pave the way for Dittmer Mine’s next chapter or bring its revival to a halt.

On Thursday, I had the privilege of welcoming guests to our Shute Harbour Marine Terminal to mark World Environment Day—a powerful reminder of why we must protect what makes our region so special.
As the heart of the Great Barrier Reef, our Whitsundays is one of the most ecologically significant places in the world. From our reef to our rainforest, we’re not just caretakers of the environment—we’re leaders in sustainable tourism.
Thursday’s event brought together environmental leaders, tourism operators, and community changemakers to focus not just on ideas, but on action.
A highlight was celebrating the launch of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) at Whitsunday Coast Airport—a major milestone in our region’s sustainability journey.
We were honoured to have Fiona Walmsley, General Manager of Sustainability, in attendance from Virgin Australia, and she shared their commitment to greener skies.
The adoption of SAF aligns perfectly with our region’s legacy of biodiversity protection and low-impact tourism. But none of it would be possible without strong partnerships—between Council, industry, and the operators who understand that our economic and environmental futures are intertwined.
Whether it’s sustainable aviation, reef-safe tourism, or grassroots green initiatives, we are united by the belief that tourism can and must be a force for good.
Thanks to QTIC for choosing the Whitsundays to host the event, our industry partners for their continued leadership, and every single person who came to listen, to share, and to act.
Together, we are creating a more resilient, sustainable Whitsundays—because our environment deserves nothing less.
Coral Sea Marina’s Kate Purdie, SeaLink Whitsundays’ Julie Telford, Whitsunday Transit’s Candice Crossley and Whitsunday Family Dental’s Alice Harriott are officially ‘Dancing Queens’ after raising nearly a quarter-of-a-million dollars for Women’s Legal Service Queensland (WLSQ) at Brisbane’s City Hall on Saturday night.
Representing the Whitsundays as the region’s inaugural team of ‘Dancing CEOs’, these four women stepped out on stage not just to dance but also to shine a spotlight on the issue of domestic violence, and ultimately to benefit the thousands of women and children impacted by it each year, who turn to WLSQ for help.
Raising a staggering $238,734 of the $877,000 total – and beating Brisbane’s ‘Team Joanne Fricker and Lauren Holland’ to the top of the leaderboard by a mere $1,790 – the Whitsundays team was not only crowned Dancing CEOs’ 2025 Fundraising Champions but also won the Community Awareness Award.
Julie Telford said going into the event, they’d had three goals, all of which were met by that result.
“One was to raise as much money as possible for the vulnerable women and children in our communities and across our state, the majority of whom we will never meet, but whose hardships have touched our hearts,” she said.
“Next was to expose domestic violence for what it really is; to bring the issue out from behind closed doors, where we can challenge it as a community,” she continued.
“And finally, we wanted to have fun with the experience and bring our friends, families, and wonderful, generous, caring community along for the ride.”
Kate Purdie said none of those goals could have been reached without significant support.
“We are incredibly grateful to the Whitsunday community and the local businesses who have supported us,” she said.
Swapping their company roles for new personas as sea sirens for the night, the ladies’ performance was as much about fun as it was philanthropy, showcasing their individual and group dynamic, and capturing the essence of the Whitsundays as Queensland’s premier destination at the heart of the Great Barrier Reef.
The routine was choreographed by Che Pritchard from Brisbane’s Mad Dance House and coached locally by Chez O’Brien from Proserpine’s Chez’s House of Dance.
Alice Harriott said the dance had been modified when the team was just three months into rehearsals, due to a serious knee injury she sustained while skiing.
“I was determined to be on that stage in some capacity or another and am extremely grateful to have fulfilled that wish, but to my mind the challenges I faced in making that happen paled into insignificance by comparison to those faced by the women and children I was there to dance for,” she said.
Candice Crossley, who recruited her team-mates those many months ago, echoed these sentiments.
“It has been an honour and a privilege to dance together for the women and children of Queensland affected by domestic violence.” she said.
The entire team also acknowledged the considerable contribution made by their mentor Katelyn Aslett-Collins, a WLSQ Ambassador and Dancing CEOs alumni, whose dedication to the cause has been unwavering throughout.

This month, we meet Chamber members Jen and Doug O’Connor of Option Insurance Brokers—a new Whitsundays-based business offering personalised insurance solutions for businesses and individuals across Australia.
Established in 2024, Option Insurance Brokers provides tailored cover across all major insurance types, including business packages, liability, commercial motor, professional indemnity, cyber, home and contents, landlord and more. Drawing on over a decade of industry experience in both corporate and boutique brokerages, Jen and Doug set out to create a brokerage that reflects their core values: authenticity, transparency, and genuine service.
“Our motivation was to simplify insurance and make it accessible – cutting through the jargon to give clients peace of mind,” said Jen. “We take the time to understand each client’s circumstances and match them with the right protection.”
As the broader insurance market shifts toward digital convenience, Option Insurance Brokers is embracing a different trend—personalised, human-centred service. With rising premiums, more frequent natural disasters, and increasing policy complexity, the demand for trusted guidance and advocacy is stronger than ever.
Launching a new brand in a competitive industry has been their biggest challenge, but Jen and Doug are rising to it by building strong community relationships, maintaining a strong online presence, and ensuring every client experience leads to word-of-mouth referrals. They also remain agile, constantly reviewing the market to keep cover options competitive and relevant.
Their top tips for fellow business owners include:
Build relationships, not just a client list – Trust drives referrals.
Don’t wait for perfect – Start something, then improve it.
Know your numbers – Financial clarity enables growth.
Jen and Doug value being active Chamber members, saying, “"Being part of the Chamber connects us with supportive local businesses, providing community, collaboration, and resources that have helped us grow. We love the sense of community and the shared drive to see small businesses succeed in our region.”

Over the weekend, seven members of our team proudly represented Life Publishing Group at the Queensland Country Press Awards (QCPA) in Brisbane.
We were absolutely thrilled when our publications each took home an award — Mackay and Whitsunday Life earned gold for Marketing Campaign of the Year, Burdekin Life received silver for Best ROP Feature, and our talented cadet journalist Victoria Velton was awarded bronze for Young Journalist of the Year for her powerful coverage of the floods in Hinchinbrook Life Newspaper.
It was truly heartwarming to see every one of our papers recognised. Even more special was knowing that each person in our team played a vital role in producing award-winning work. From our dedicated sales team brainstorming creative campaigns and diligently securing advertising, to the graphic designers and production crew bringing each issue to life with style and flair; from the journalists crafting stories filled with impact and heart, to our tireless distributors ensuring every paper reaches the community — this is a collective achievement we all share.
I feel deeply honoured to work alongside such incredible people every day.
During the awards dinner — a grand event with over 100 fellow newspaper professionals — I was caught by surprise when the Emcee mentioned a familiar name: Peter Lewis. Could this be the Peter Lewis from the Proserpine Guardian?
As I pondered approaching his table at the front, a small woman with short brown hair suddenly appeared nearby.
“Are you lot from the Whitsundays?” she asked.
We nodded, and within seconds, a warm connection was made. Peter Lewis is a true local newspaper legend. He and his wife Cynthia purchased the Proserpine Guardian in 1972. The paper, first established in 1904, sadly closed its doors in September 2014.
Peter began working at the paper in 1960, a year after his father bought it. Starting as a compositor — a typesetter — he recalled how back then you quickly learned every aspect of the trade. The Proserpine office was a traditional printer’s house, and I fondly remember Peter giving me a proud tour there 13 years ago.
Fast forward to the present, and we reconnected at the awards. I hadn’t realised before that Peter is a Life Member of QCPA and even served as its President during the 1980s. Meeting Peter and Cynthia at the awards night was an absolute honour. Their story reminds me of the enduring nature of our craft — how regional journalism transcends generations and continues to enrich our culture.
Thank you, Cynthia, for seeking out the ‘Whitsunday Table,’ and thank you, Peter, for your decades of dedication in keeping the flame of local journalism burning bright for the Whitsundays. We are proud to carry that baton forward, and look forward to doing so alongside you both for many years to come.
From one Editor to another — thank you for helping keep regional print media alive.
Living on the picturesque Hayman Island hasn’t stopped Hang Nguyen from chasing her dream of working in early childhood education. The dedicated student is currently completing a Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care (CHC30121) through TAFE Queensland, which she studies online to suit her unique island-based lifestyle.
“I do my course online because I am based on Hayman,” Hang explained.
Hang said that she likes the flexibility of doing the course online, but most she enjoys what the course covers.
The TAFE Queensland course covers a range of skills, including activity planning, multicultural awareness, teamwork, and behavioural strategies, all of which have left a lasting impression on Hang.
“My favourite thing in my course is seeing how the children grow up at that age, and how to teach them new things,” she said.
Hang also works at the local school on Hayman Island and travels to the mainland to complete her practical placement at a childcare service. The hands-on component, she says, is another favourite part of the course.
“I like being with the children, they have a lot of different ideas, you will never think about it but when they say it, it gives us a different angle to look at it.”
Her passion lies in caring for children from six months to six years old, and she finds the early years particularly rewarding. She likes how TAFE Queensland has structured the course and what they teach.
“I’ve learned a lot of different things, how you organise activities for the kids, how you look after them, for babies how you feed them, how you settle them down and when they are upset how to calm them down,” she added.
With over a year of study under her belt, Hang is looking forward to completing her qualification and hopes to continue working in the childcare industry, potentially at the centre where she is currently working.
“It’s a very nice place there and very supportive.”
Hang’s journey is a testament to the flexibility of online education and the power of passion, especially when combined with the peaceful surroundings of island life.
Hang’s journey highlights how the flexibility of online education and personal passion can thrive at TAFE Queensland.

With a passion for people, storytelling, and showcasing hidden gems, Cherene Poidevin from Driftwood Tours offers an adventure in the Whitsundays like no other.
Recently nominated for a Best of Queensland Experience, Cherene says Driftwood Tours benefits from her 30 plus years of experience and an official accreditation as a Savannah Guide and Eco Nature Guide.
Driftwood Tours offers small group tours with a personal touch, built on a genuine connection and a deep love of the region’s history, flora, fauna, and culture.
“I'm not just a bus driver who points things out, I take you on a journey,” said Cherene.
“All of my tours have got full commentary and great friendly banter. I always like to say to my guests that strangers are only friends you haven't met.”
From sunrise with kangaroos at Cape Hillsborough, to discovering Bowen, even waterfalls and bushwalk tours, Cherene covers all bases, and guests love how the tours are informative and immersive.
Her sunrise tour starts early, but the bus journey is complete with neck pillows and blankets, so guests can enjoy the first light in nature comfortably. Her full-day Bowen tour showcases incredible beaches, while the rainforest tours include interactive walks, and in the dry season, a stop at the local 50s-style diner is included.
Cherene credits her success to ongoing learning and a genuine love of sharing the Whitsundays.
“This is our backyard. People dream about this and we get to live it in 3D, how cool is that?” she said.
Most of her guests are people looking for a tour that offers more in-depth information, and with smaller numbers, the tours feel crowd-free and personal.
For Cherene and Driftwood Tours, it’s about pride in quality, connection, and creating unforgettable experiences. Book your adventure Today!
