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.

“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.

On Sunday 22 February, a group of writers, readers and thinkers gathered at the Whitsunday Sailing Club to explore how the Writers Festival could be improved for further iterations. Being held on 13 September, the festival has seen great success in the past, and with a passionate focus group committed to planning this year’s event, the community can expect great things, including a strong spotlight on the talent and creativity that makes up the region.

Although smaller compared to larger cities, the Whitsundays has always punched above its weight when it comes to celebrating culture and creativity, and the Writers Festival is a clear sign of that.

With various prompts put to the team, including a core discussion theme of What makes literary festivals important? ideas were enthusiastically thrown around. Its evident that a current priority is to consider how the festival can be geared towards children, as with the rise of technology, it is more vital than ever that children can maintain engagement with literature.

Further matters were deliberated on and discussed such as:

• Australian, Queensland or regional local authors that people would like to see present at the festival
• Ideas for types of sessions and how they could be carried out
• Ways the festival could best celebrate and involve the unique stories, history, and people of the Whitsundays and North Queensland
• Little touches, surprises, or special experiences that could be added to make the festival feel unique and memorable

In addition to the Writers Festival, the Whitsunday Literary Hearts Awards was also discussed. This festival contains a number of exciting categories – unpublished manuscript, short story (adult and under 18), book cover and curated publication – encouraging locals to put their work out there.

The festival is committed to being a leading regional literary event on the national calendar, celebrating Queensland and Australian stories whilst championing the authors who bring them to life.

This meeting represents a great start to the year, as the team will continue to discuss, plan and brainstorm ideas. These types of festivals are vital in stimulating cultural growth in the region. The region contains so many wonderful, artists, musicians, poets and general creatives and it is important to see their efforts recognised.

Swapping hard hats for dancing shoes, Jason Mordey will vie for the winning position on stage at the upcoming Dancing With Heart competition.

As Managing Director of Anything Environmental, Jason leads a locally owned family business focused on giving back to the community while creating opportunities for people to recycle materials that would otherwise end up in landfill.

“We are a business that is all about supporting and giving back to our local community where we can, especially through creating opportunities for the general public to recycle materials and potentially make some money doing it, as well as helping the environment,” he says.

Jason began his career as a diesel mechanic before building one of the region’s largest earthmoving and demolition operations. When the Containers for Change program launched, he seized the opportunity to bring it to Mackay.

“I hope people remember me for helping create systems that make a real difference for the community and the environment,” he shares.

Now turning his focus to the dance floor, Jason promises plenty of energy.

“I don’t want to give too much away, but my dance is very full-on from start to finish and exhausting. I love the way it involves the audience with a high-energy performance, with fun and comedy thrown in,” he says.

The most challenging part? I could lie and say the backflips, lol.

What do you value most about My Hospital Foundation’s work? My father was in the hospital for nearly two years. During that time, I saw first-hand how the Hospital Foundation do the little things to help people staying in hospital, especially long-term patients like my father. They fill in the gaps that are otherwise missed.

‍

Dirk Neugebauer is no stranger to stepping up for the community, but stepping onto a dance floor, complete with choreography and precise timing, is an entirely new arena.

As Managing Director of Jayden Enterprises Pty Ltd, Dirk leads a well-known and established Mackay business that has consistently backed local charities, schools and events.

“Jayden Enterprises is a well-known and established Mackay business that has always supported local charities, schools and events in which I get actively involved,” he says.

Over the past three years, he has also poured his energy into Variety – the Children’s Charity Queensland Variety Bash, running two major fundraisers annually and promoting them across TV and radio.

“My passion in supporting charities such as My Hospital Foundation, Hospital Auxiliary, Chances House and Variety comes from my experience with my own mental health challenges and how important it is to me to help those that need it the most,” he shares.

“I would like to be remembered as someone who cares about the community through sharing prosperity.”

Now, as a Dancing With Heart contestant, Dirk admits rehearsals have tested him.

“It has been a bit of a struggle even though I love dancing… this has challenged me to learn a routine,” he says.

“Learning the new moves, practicing them and then getting them right is the most enjoyable.”

What have you found the most challenging so far? Getting the timing right and not jumping into my own routine.

What do you value most about My Hospital Foundation’s work? The foundation is local, directing funds to those who need it most while supporting healthcare workers that work tirelessly with essential equipment and resources.

Bright, outgoing and always up for a laugh, Chelsea Byrne is a vibrant force in Mackay’s community scene, and chances are, you’ve seen her in action.

As a Triple M Roadie, Account Coordinator, Brand Experience Specialist, and Executive Assistant, Chelsea is at the heart of connecting the station to the community. From local businesses to sporting clubs and community events, she thrives on face-to-face interaction and sharing the stories that make the region unique.

“You’ll usually find me out and about in the community — visiting local businesses, events, sporting clubs, and bringing the station to the streets. I love being face-to-face with locals, having a chat, sharing a laugh, and helping promote what’s happening around our region,” she said.

“It’s such a social job and I’m lucky to meet so many amazing people through it.”

While she’s confident on the mic, Chelsea’s dance routine has been full of surprises.

“Most people don’t know I’m probably the clumsiest dancer in the group. I can trip over nothing and still miss a count — it’s honestly impressive… But I dance with my whole heart, even if my feet don’t always cooperate. I’d love to be remembered as the girl who gave it her all, laughed at herself, and proved you don’t have to be perfect to light up the stage,” Chelsea enthuised.

“I’ve really loved the upbeat sections with sharp, strong moves because you can just go full out and feel the music. That’s when I forget about being clumsy and just have fun with it.”

The most challenging part? Remembering the choreography while also making it look confident and natural

What do you value most about My Hospital Foundation’s work? Knowing the impact stays right here in our local hospitals and helps people in our own community makes it incredibly meaningful, especially because healthcare touches everyone at some point in their lives.

Film lovers are invited to a special screening of award-winning French drama The Story of Souleymane at CQUniversity’s Cook Theatre next month, presented by Film & Arts Mackay Inc..

Winner of the Jury Prize, Best Actor and the FIPRESCI International Critics’ Prize in the Un Certain Regard section at the Cannes Film Festival, as well as Best Actor and Best Sound at the European Film Awards, the 93-minute drama has become one of France’s most talked-about recent releases.

Written and directed by Boris Lojkine, the film follows Souleymane, a young food delivery cyclist navigating the frenetic streets of Paris while awaiting the outcome of his asylum application. Racing against the clock to meet delivery demands, he must also prepare for a life-changing residency interview that will determine his future. The lead performance by newcomer Abou Sangaré has been widely praised, adding emotional weight to this tense and compassionate portrait of life in the gig economy.

Described as a gripping social-realist thriller, the film has drawn comparisons to classic European cinema while resonating strongly with contemporary audiences. It contains coarse language and is rated M.

The evening will also include the Film & Arts Mackay Annual General Meeting at 7.10pm sharp, prior to the screening. Members are encouraged to attend to help form a quorum and nominate office bearers for the year ahead.

Doors open at 6.45pm for a 7.30pm start at CQUniversity Mackay, Ooralea Campus. Guests are invited to stay for snacks and wine after the screening.
