On Monday 16^th March, North Queensland–raised Judah Kelly attended the 98^th Academy Awards in Los Angeles, where the short film he starred in, The Singers, was awarded an Oscar.
The film tied for the win with another short film, in an Oscars occurrence that whilst rare, is indeed possible. This is a huge achievement that represents years of hard work, building craft and nurturing talent; Judah has no doubt made the community incredibly proud.

Born in Townsville, Judah attended school in Bowen where he took part in various school choirs, an experience that inspired his musicianship and developed his performance capabilities. He continued his secondary education in Mackay before attending the Junior Academy of Country Music in Tamworth (NSW).

Judah auditioned for the X Factor in 2012 and 2014. Despite not finding success, he was not deterred, deciding to audition for The Voice in 2017. After singing ‘Tennessee Whiskey’ in a blind audition he made it through the finals, where he became the official winner of the sixth season.

His newest achievement is receiving the Oscar as one of the stars of short film The Singers, which received an award for Best Live Action Short at 98^th Academy Awards.

Directed by filmmaker Sam Davis, the film is an 18-minute musical comedy which centres around a spontaneous singing competition that breaks out amongst a group of random patrons in a dive bar. The film is based on the 1850 Ivan Turgenev story of the same name.

Prior to the academy awards, the film had already won 35 awards across 50 film festivals in 2025.

Judah’s inclusion in the film came out of a unique casting process. Rather than hiring actors through traditional means, filmmaker Sam Davis spent months scouring the internet for authentic voices he believed would bring the story to life. As a result, Judah was sought out for his raw vocal talent.

“At first they emailed me to ask me to be in the film and I don’t act so I thought it was just a scam”, Judah said in an interview to Channel Nine’s Today Show prior to the ceremony.

“They were very persistent with getting me to act. Then I found out everyone was a first-time actor and we all thought it was a scam. It turned out they did want us for a film – it’s about men and vulnerability”.

Following the victory, Judah took to Instagram to express his joy.

“We don’t even know how to act. Our film just won an Oscar!”

The film tied with another short feature marking only the seventh time in Oscars’ history that a category closed with two winners.

This is a fantastic achievement, and Judah should be incredibly proud of his efforts. He has certainly made communities across Bowen and Mackay immensely proud.

This poem from my Grandpa Bob is entitled ‘Birth’. Thanks to my parents for supplying it. I’d also like to dedicate this corner to my Mum, who lost her father and brother in a very short span of time. This week’s corner is for her.

BIRTH

this is my hand

this is my eye

wave the one

with the other’s cry

noise is anger

flood is kindness

joy is vision

fear is blindness

wet is short

dry is long

night a silence

day a song

good is a smile

bad is a frown

the first lift up

the second put down

knowing is start

not knowing is stop

interesting is pick up

boring is drop

looking is memory

hiding is forgetting

wrong is stopping

right is letting

that is wind

this is rain

there is light

here is pain

that is laughter

this a sigh

how much to know

before I die

Rising star Katie Jayne is set to take to the stage at Airlie Beach Hotel for two free shows, guaranteed to entertain. The eclectic performer boasts an impressive resume, having given standout performances at the Tamworth Country Music Festival, Deni Ute Muster, PBR Australia and major festival rodeo stages across the country.

Katie began her music career at the age of 25 when she moved to London, forming her first band Southern Junction who went on to play at the Isle of Wight Festival and London O2 Arena. After returning to Australia, Katie found her voice as a solo artist and hasn’t looked back since.

“I’m at a point now where I know who I am and what I have to say and I’m ready to just go out there and play as many shows as I can around Australia”, said Katie.

With her unique blend of modern country fire with traditional soul, Katie Jayne is fast becoming one of the most exciting new voices in modern Australian country music. With over 400,000 Spotify streams on her latest single, KIX Country Top 20 chart success and high rotation on CMC, Katie has cemented herself as a rising star.

“It’s so great to be able to put on a country show in Airlie Beach. Australian artists are often overlooked in country music so it’s wonderful to have this opportunity. I’m very excited to bring my music up there.”

Katie encourages everyone to come for an afternoon of high energy and no-nonsense country storytelling.

“Come along, even if you’re not a country fan. We don’t take ourselves too seriously. We just like to have fun and play.”

WHAT: Katie Jayne, two Free Shows

WHEN: Saturday 21^st March, Sunday 22^nd March, 2pm – 5.30pm

When the lights rise and the music begins at this year’s Dancing With Heart, one familiar local face will be stepping onto the stage with courage, glamour and a little theatrical flair.

By day, Janine works as Sales Manager with Seven Network, helping local businesses connect with audiences across the region through television advertising. Many residents also recognise her from the weekly “What’s On This Weekend” segment on 7 Local News, where her vibrant personality shines as she highlights the events bringing the community together.

While her confident and bubbly nature is well known, Janine admits the journey to the dance floor has pushed her well outside her comfort zone.

“Most people see the confident bubbly side of me, but what they don’t see is how much I push through nerves and self-doubt behind the scenes.”

Her routine promises plenty of personality and theatrical flair.

“Oh, we are bringing drama! My routine is theatrical and glamorous! Think sass, storytelling, big expressions,” she says.

“And yes… I’ll be gracefully (hopefully!) making my way down the stairs. If I don’t? Well, at least it’ll be memorable and I promise I’ll fall with flair.”

What have you found the most difficult?

Remembering the choreography while my brain is busy going, “Don’t mess up, don’t mess up!”… I truly want to do it justice.

What do you value most about My Hospital Foundation?

That the funds raised stay right here in our community, directly supporting local hospital services, patients and families. You never know when you or someone you love might need that care, which makes the Foundation’s work so meaningful. It’s also incredibly inspiring to stand alongside the other contestants as we’re all stepping outside our comfort zones and working together to raise as much as we can for such an important cause.

‍

Known around Mackay as much for his quick wit as his business acumen, Michael Kerr has spent 26 years supplying electrical products to the local industry. Off the clock, he’s equally active on the field, coaching senior rugby league at Wests – a role that keeps him connected to the community in a very hands-on way.

“I’ve been selling electrical products to the local electrical industries for 26 years,” Michael says.

Coaching at Wests Senior Rugby League also keeps him involved with local families and players.

Now, he’s hoping to be remembered for one very special move: the worm.

“I’d like to be remembered for the worm.”

Despite not coming from a dance background, Michael has embraced rehearsals with enthusiasm.

“I’ve really enjoyed the process of learning the dance moves. I have no real style, but Dolly from Fame has found a way to move a besser block around a dance floor,” he jokes.

For Michael, the experience has been equal parts fun, community-minded, and a chance to stretch beyond his comfort zone, all for a cause that touches every local family.

What’s been the most challenging?

The soreness.

What do you value most about My Hospital Foundations work?

The funds raised by the foundation go towards purchasing new, up-to-date hospital equipment, which enables the hospital to provide better services to its patients. The more the community gets behind it, the better the hospital can serve everyone, and that’s very important, because at some stage, we all will need the hospital’s services.

‍

If there’s a community event happening in Mackay, chances are Sharon Johnston isn’t far away. As Manager of Public Relations at Dalrymple Bay Coal Terminal Pty Ltd, known locally as Daly Bay, Sharon plays a vital role in connecting the company with the region it proudly supports.

From coordinating Daly Bay’s extensive sponsorship program to representing the organisation at events, launches and community initiatives, Sharon’s role keeps her constantly on the move.

“My job is to look after Daly Bay’s sponsorship program and community relations, along with other public relations and communication activities,” she explains.

With the company supporting a wide range of organisations across the region each year, Sharon has become a familiar face around town.

“Mayor Greg Williamson often jokes I’m following him as we’re often at the same events,” she laughs.

Beyond her professional role, Sharon also dedicates her time to the My Hospital Foundation Board, making her involvement in Dancing With Heart an easy decision.

“There was no way I was going to get away with not dancing this year!”

What have you found the most difficult?

Trying to remember everything in order has taken a bit of time. I was relieved I didn’t have to do a body roll, but unfortunately, I’m also not good at back pops, and I’ve got to do a couple of those.

What do you value most about My Hospital Foundation’s work?

My favourite piece of equipment was a Cardio Echo Machine for children. Prior to My Hospital Foundation purchasing this piece of equipment, families had to travel to Brisbane monthly for their child to have a routine scan. This outcome made a huge difference to local families. It’s what inspired me to put up my hand to be on the board.

The Whitsundays will come alive with music next July as the Queensland Music Festival (QMF) presents The Reef Trail, a unique event showcasing some of Australia’s most beloved artists in unexpected, picturesque locations. From 2 to 4 July this exciting music journey will unfold across two of the region’s most stunning landscapes: Lake Proserpine and Airlie Beach Foreshore.

The Reef Trail invites locals and visitors alike to experience the Whitsundays like never before. Against the backdrop of turquoise waters and wide open skies, the event will feature intimate performances from popular Australian acts including Boy & Bear, Jem Cassar-Daley, Tjaka, Mid Drift, and Kaylee West. These performances will bring the region’s natural beauty and vibrant culture to life in a way that highlights the connection between music, landscape, and community.

QLD Music Trails, the statewide initiative behind The Reef Trail, aims to introduce music lovers to the hidden gems of Queensland, beyond the traditional venue settings. Daryl Raven, Chief Executive of QMF, explained that The Reef Trail captures the very essence of the initiative, saying, “The Reef Trail brings music into places where Queensland landscapes, regional communities, and culture do the storytelling." The event is designed to encourage people to slow down, follow the music, and discover the region through shared experiences rather than rigid itineraries.

The adventure begins inland at Lake Proserpine, where a relaxed lakeside setting will provide the perfect atmosphere for an afternoon of live music, local food, and family-friendly activities. The journey then moves to Airlie Beach Foreshore, transforming into a vibrant amphitheater where audiences can enjoy music in one of Queensland’s most iconic seaside locations.

This unique event is not only a celebration of music but also of Queensland’s rich stories, vibrant communities, and stunning landscapes.

As Queensland’s Minister for the Arts, John-Paul Langbroek, stated, “The Reef Trail audiences are set to enjoy outstanding live music experiences with popular Australian artists...in idyllic tropical locations.”

Whitsunday Regional Council Mayor Ry Collins said The Reef Trail is a fantastic example of how cultural tourism supports the local economy while giving visitors a new reason to explore the Whitsundays.

“From Lake Proserpine to Airlie Beach Foreshore, this Trail invites people to stay longer, experience more and connect with our Whitsunday region in a different way,” Mayor Collins said.

For those looking to enjoy world-class music in an unforgettable setting, The Reef Trail offers an incredible opportunity to experience the Whitsundays like never before. It’s a journey that promises to highlight the region’s cultural heart and natural beauty, making it an event not to be missed.

Airlie Beach is set to turn green in the best possible way this March, as the Airlie Beach Hotel rolls out a huge weekend of live music, capped off with a St Patrick’s Day celebration that promises to be one of the liveliest yet.

Kicking things off on Saturday March 14 and Sunday March 15 is a special double-header tribute show celebrating two of the UK’s most iconic bands, U2 and Coldplay. Fans can expect all the big anthems , from “With or Without You” to “Yellow” and “Viva La Vida”, delivered with replica costumes, era-accurate instruments and the kind of stadium energy these bands are famous for.

But it’s Tuesday, March 17 that will truly shine. The hotel’s St Patrick’s Day Party brings the spotlight firmly onto Ireland’s greatest musical export, U2. Headlining the celebration is Rattle and Hum – The U2 Show, Australia’s premier U2 tribute act. Formed in 1997 and boasting more than 2000 performances, the band has built a reputation for its uncanny sound and look, even appearing on national television over the years. With an Irish Bono impersonator front and centre, audiences can expect a high-energy, hit-filled performance that captures the spirit of the real thing.

Alongside the U2 tribute set will be classic Irish rock and pop favourites, plus a special selection of Coldplay songs to keep the dancefloor packed.

On March 7^th and 8^th, Late for Woodstock will be gracing the stage to recreate the iconic music of rock history’s most celebrated performances. The tribute act formed in May 1988 in Noosa Heads to bring back the authentic sounds of the 60s and 70s.

“We kind of bumped into each other at Noosa and decided to throw a band together”, said singer and guitarist Colin Germano.

“We wanted a name that would reflect what we wanted to play, which was older stuff. Beatles, Stones, The Doors, Led Zeppelin, Creedence, Doobie Brothers – stuff like that”.

After various hiatuses and a break during Covid, the band and back and ready for action.

“We just stick to our roots. We play the stuff that we love. Nothing more than that. We play what we love and are fortunate people still want to hear that”.

The band are no strangers to the Airlie Beach foreshore.

“We played there back in 1985 when it was the old pub. We were part of a circuit. We’d go up there, bash it out and have a great time”.

Airlie Beach remains a special place to perform.

“We just love Airlie Beach. We’ve been going there all these years. When we perform here, I like to go up early and hang around town – catch up with friends – see the islands. The pub has always been really good to us. It’s a unique place”.

Get excited for a wealth of timeless music as the tribute act are set to honour The Doors, CCR, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Neil Young, The Kinks, Santana, The Rolling Stones, Rodriguez and Bob Dylan among many others.
