2026 welcomed the 100th year of CANEGROWERS, a milestone that was celebrated in style at Brisbane City Hall on October 29^th.  

‍

‍

‍

‍

More than 400 growers, family members, industry representatives and friends came together to recognise 39 legends who have helped shape the cane country across generations. T

he awards were separated into three parts: past, present and emerging, acknowledging the history of the cane growers community.  

‍

‍

‍

‍

“Together, they represent the pioneers who helped build the industry, the people leading it today and a new generation already making its mark,” shared a spokesperson for CANEGROWERS.  

The night included speeches from CANEGROWERS CEO Dan Galligan, Minister for Primary Industries Tony Perrett MP, and former chairman Paul Schembri, who delved into the history that built the industry.  

‍

‍

‍

‍

To close the ceremony, CANEGROWERS Chairman Owen Menkens addressed the strength of the organisation, praising the people who have built it for the past century and the ones who shape what comes next.

Six-metre-tall Mickey Mouse has taken up residence at Caneland Central, building excitement ahead of the Disney exhibition's Mackay opening next month! Photo supplied by Mackay Regional Council  

‍

You may have noticed a giant Mickey Mouse sitting tall at Caneland Central while grabbing your Christmas gifts, but the six-metre inflatable has a much bigger job than spreading a little Disney magic.

‍

The iconic character has made his way to Mackay as part of the lead-up to Disney: The 100 Year Exhibition – A Century of Magic, which will open to the public on the 4^th December, bringing a century of Disney storytelling to the region.

‍

Mayor Greg Williamson said Mickey's visit was helping build excitement ahead of the exhibition, which will run until the 4^th May 2027 and make Mackay the only Australian location to host the international showcase.

Mayor Williamson was in Brisbane last month for the launch of the Mickey Mouse Inflatable Tour at South Bank Piazza, where the six-metre character drew crowds of Disney fans keen to snap a photo. From there, Mickey began a journey through Queensland cities and towns before making his way to Mackay, where he has taken up residence for the next few weeks at Caneland Central.

‍

The exhibition, set to be held at the MECC next month, will feature 10 immersive galleries and more than 250 rare artefacts, celebrating Disney favourites across generations, from classic characters such as Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck to modern favourites from Frozen and Moana.

‍

The opportunity follows almost two years of work behind the scenes, including Council representatives travelling to Madrid, Spain, to view the exhibition and help secure it for Mackay.

For Mayor Williamson, bringing an internationally recognised exhibition to a regional city is an opportunity to put Mackay on a much bigger stage.

‍

“When we announced this quite a few months ago now, we had over 20 million views on social media, and the biggest question asked was, ‘Where's Mackay?’” the Mayor said.  

‍

“That’s fantastic… If it does the right thing and puts Mackay on the world map, that attracts people here. That attracts tourists here, and that attracts investors here.”

‍

Mickey's Queensland tour has attracted interest from young families and older Disney fans alike, with plenty keen to capture a photograph alongside the familiar face.

With the exhibition set to bring a little Disney magic to the region, Mackay is preparing to welcome visitors from across Australia for a showcase unlike any other in the country.

‍

Road Works Cripple Business. Upgrading the roads between the highway and Proserpine Main Street is causing difficulty of access to shops etc nearby. Owners are reporting up to 70% drop in trade. The time it took to complete the work was the major gripe.  

‍

Tragedy On The Highway. Two well known Cannonvale Boys, Rodney Berry and Warren McGoldrick, were killed in a head-on collision with a semi-trailer on Saturday near Lethebrook Bridge.  

‍

Remembrance Day. 36 people gathered at the Cenotaph and were welcomed by RSL President Barry Parnel. Wreathes were laid on behalf of schools and service clubs. The Mill Whistle marked the occasion.  

‍

Historically Speaking. A display of photos, articles and information given by Proserpine residents was mounted in the foyer of the Cultural Hall. The Proserpine Historical Museum Society have just received the first installment of photos and articles from the Hallam Family re Island tourism development at the turn of the century.

‍

Lindeman Island Development. The resort will be closed in 1987. The revamp will include 160 new units.

‍

A sense of anticipation fills this issue’s Photo Of The Week, as the marked butterfly rests its wings for a brief second on an amber bromeliad leaf.  

‍

The contrasting color on the butterfly’s wings draws your attention, and the feeling that it might just flutter away keeps it there.  

‍

Submitted under this week's theme of furry friends, Shannon Faletti captured this wonderful scene, which captures the simple beauties that inhabit our world.  

‍

Thank you once again to everyone in the Whitsundays Amateur Photographers Facebook group for sharing another wonderful collection of images.

Agnetha, played by Bride Pamment and Frida, played by Jessie Phillippi

‍

Calling all dancing queens: Airlie Beach Hotel is soon to be host to SOS The Australian ABBA Tribute Show, bringing back the hits that have had crowds singing along since the ’70s.

‍

In more than 15 years on stage, SOS has seen a few new faces come and go, but the band’s love for ABBA has stayed the same. For Sam Bennett, who plays Björn and handles guitar duties, it all started in the ’90s, when his parents played their ABBA Gold CD to death.

‍

“I think we love ABBA because it just can reach everyone,” Bennett said.

“Everyone’s got a story about ABBA and their connection to ABBA.”

‍

‍

Joining him on stage are Jason Coe as Benny, Bride Pamment as Agnetha and Jessie Phillippi as Frida, and drummer TJ Cappola, who goes by IKEA, rounding out the lineup.  

‍

A Swedish accent and a bit of prancing around help Bennett and the band get into character, but it’s tapping into ABBA’s iconic style that unlocks the full talent.

“Once you put that costume on, oh, you are ready to start on stage,” Bennett said.

‍

The crowd can expect all the hits. “Dancing Queen”, “Mamma Mia” and “Waterloo” are all surefire ways to get the crowd singing.

SOS also likes to slip in a few lesser-known favourites when they get the chance, including “Hole in Your Soul” and “When All Is Said and Done”.

‍

The band has played in Airlie plenty of times before, which for Bennett, shows the timelessness of ABBA, routinely seeing locals back on the dance floor.  

“We have a lot of friends of the show up in Airlie Beach that come to all of our shows,” Bennett said.

‍

“It’s really different seeing this music performed live as opposed to just listening to it on your own.

“When you’re experiencing that with other people, it’s just such great group music.”

‍
What? SOS The Australian ABBA Tribute Show
When? Saturday 21st and Sunday 22nd November, 2pm–5:30pm

‍

The Proserpine Community Centre will once again be spreading Christmas cheer amongst older residents, with the return of Senior Secret Santa.  

‍

The initiative will deliver thoughtful gifts to seniors who are spending the festive season away from family and friends, bringing local community groups and residents together to remind seniors that they are valued and supported by their community.

‍

Coordinator of the Proserpine Community Centre Ingrid Ruck shared that the scheme started when the centre was disheartened to hear that many seniors would be spending Christmas alone.  

‍

“Although we can’t be a substitute for family and friends, we want to give them a thoughtful, handpicked Christmas stocking from all of us to remind them that they live in a community that cares about them,” Ingrid shared.  

In the spirit of Christmas, the Proserpine Community Centre won't be doing the heavy lifting alone. Support from the wider community means the efforts will reach even more isolated seniors.  

‍

Small community groups like the Proserpine Scrapbooking Club will be making handmade Christmas cards to go with every gift, and the Proserpine Chat & Patch Quilting Club will be making drawstring bags as Santa Sacks.  

‍

‍

From small community groups to nationwide supermarket chains, locals are pitching in where they can.  

Drake Supermarkets' Community Dollars scheme will also be supporting the initiative this year.  

‍

“Anyone who donates their Drakes Community Dollars to our Centre is helping us,” Ingrid said.  

“During the year we have raised enough money from one cent contributions to buy some wee gifts and Christmas goodies to go into each sack.”

‍

The community centre has brought the scheme back bigger and better than before, learning from past mistakes and always trying to learn. Like ‘not to use wrapping paper for 240 gifts!’

“It’s wasteful,” Ingrid said.  

“This year we are so lucky to be having handmade Santa Sacks made that will be more personal and much more environmentally friendly!”

‍

The centre will be collaborating with Helen from Meals on Wheels and Sue from the Seniors Team at the Library and many other community groups to deliver the presents safely to the seniors.  

‍

“We need to deliver these gifts safely, so that no older person has a stranger knocking on their door offering them a random gift.”

‍

Ingrid and the Proserpine Community Centre hope that the initiative reminds the seniors that they are surrounded by a community that cares about them and reminds the community that gift giving has nothing to do with money.  

“We hope it warms their hearts and makes them smile!” Ingrid said.  

‍

“As children, we learned that gift-giving was about being thoughtful, giving something the person might enjoy rather than the most expensive thing. If you would like to help us this year, we would be grateful for a donation of a small amount.”

Estimations suggest that The Airlie Beach Festival of Music drew a record crowd for its 14th edition, with organisers confident more than 2,000 people packed the big top at Whitsunday Sailing Club each night.  

‍

“If it wasn’t for Jack Johnson in Brisbane and The Foo Fighters in Townsville, we would have sold out,” said Festival Founder Gavin “Butto” Butlin.   

“Which just goes to show that even with all the challenges we’ve faced, live music in Australia is far from dead.  

‍

Xavier Rudd set the tone for the weekend with a two-hour headline set on Friday night. He returned to the stage for an encore of his new track ‘Part of Life’, and the show closed with a recording of the late Jane Goodall urging the crowd to look after the planet.  

Friday night also belonged to Bells Beach band Ozone Street, who won the national Passport to Airlie competition, the talent search that gives emerging acts from across Australia a chance to play the festival’s main stage.  

‍

Other acts like Mark Seymour and The Whitlams kept the music going over the next two days, with Mental As Anything, 19 Twenty and UK band Skinny Living further bolstering the lineup.

Saturday’s showstopping moment came in the morning, when blues guitarist Nathan Cavaleri crossed Pioneer Bay on a jet ski to get to soundcheck.

‍

Whitsunday Regional Council Mayor Ry Collins said the festival brings at least $5 million into the regional economy each year and reflects a local live music scene that keeps going long after the big top comes down.

“It’s part of our identity and it’s great to see it continuing to thrive,” Mayor Collins said.

‍

Plans are already underway for next year, with three-day general admission passes for the 2027 festival available at the $300 early bird rate until 30th November.

‍

The much-anticipated Airlie Beach Festival Of Music is about to roll up onto Whitsunday Shores, with Aussie legend Xavier Rudd bringing buzz as a headline act.  

‍

For more than two decades, Xavier has built a remarkable career around music that speaks to the human experience, the natural world and the deep connections that exist between them – themes that will be aptly illustrated by the lush backdrop of the coral sea on November 6^th.  

‍

From his 2002 debut To Let through to his most recent releases, Rudd has become one of Australia’s most enduring and distinctive musical voices. Blending roots, folk and world music with his extraordinary talents as a multi-instrumentalist, he has developed a sound that is unmistakably his own while earning devoted audiences around the globe.

‍

Over the years, Rudd's performances have evolved from full-band and trio formats into the intricate one-man-band experience that has taken him to some of the world's biggest stages.

Next: Airlie Beach is on the itinerary.  

‍

Rudd's music has continued to evolve in recent years, with his 2024 release Freedom Sessions marking his first EP in 25 years. Across six intimate and reflective tracks, the collection explored themes of solitude, personal growth and freedom, with songs including World Order Part 1 & 2, High Time, Road Trippin', Free The People and Moments revealing a raw and soulful side of his artistry.

‍

In September 2025, he followed with Where to Now, an EP born from reflection and contemplation. Rich with layered rhythms and instrumentation, the release explores resilience, connection and the courage required to move forward through uncertain times.

‍

“It came from a pretty deep place of contemplation and reflecting on the world, and I feel that when I sing it,” Rudd said of the EP.

That personal reflection has always been at the heart of his songwriting.

‍

“My music is just inspired by life,” he said. “We go through trials and tribulations in life and the music represents where I’m at personally but also extends to everyone else. We all have our stuff that we have to overcome and we’re all just doing our best.”

For Rudd, music is also about freedom of expression and the joy of movement.

‍

“Dancing and moving our bodies is really important,” he said. “It’s like surfing: everyone surfs in a different way, expresses on a wave a different way - everyone’s got their own kooky style and it’s cool… Everyone’s cool.”

‍

Despite a catalogue spanning more than two decades, Rudd has refused to nominate a favourite song.

“All my songs are special to me. They come from some kind of place with a story. I don’t have favourites.”

‍

Recent years have brought further recognition for his work, winning the APRA Award for Most Performed Blues and Roots Work in 2022, while Stoney Creek claimed the Environmental Music Prize.

‍

With a new chapter continuing through his latest single, Part of Life, and a busy 2026 touring schedule, Xavier Rudd will arrive at the Airlie Beach Festival of Music as an artist still evolving - but remaining firmly grounded in the values, stories and sounds that have made him one of Australia’s most beloved performers.
