Sensei Helle Jorgensen Smith, who runs the Shito Ryu Karate dojo in Bucasia, spent the last six months of 2025 in her homeland Denmark with her two sons, Nathanial and Aksel, aged 16 and 14. With karate remaining part of their daily routine, it wasn’t long before Helle was asked by a friend’s two young boys if they could also learn.

And so, the Danish Karate Club was born, with Jonathan and Tristan, aged 14 and 13, and three teachers — Sensei Helle, Nathanial, a Black Belt (1st Dan), and Aksel, a 1st Kyu Brown Belt (one level before black).

Training two to three hours per week, and with a unique ratio of three teachers to two students, the two white belts (first level) progressed quickly. Jonathan and Tristan showed respect from the very first lesson and completed their homework each week. This included not only physical training, but also learning the philosophy behind karate. They even researched aspects of the art beyond what is normally expected of a white belt. Sensei Helle said, “they were simply a joy to teach.”

Karate is not about fighting or merely self defence; it focuses on discipline, lifelong self-development, self-control, and the pursuit of a calm and peaceful mind.

After five months of training, the new students graded to the next level, achieving Yellow Belt and Yellow Belt with two stripes — almost to the next level. It was a courageous effort by the two young boys, who have vowed to continue their karate journey and may one day visit their parent dojo in Mackay.

The Northern Beaches Karate Club runs classes during the school term on Tuesdays and Thursdays at the Bucasia Community Hall in Wallace Avenue. Sensei Helle also holds self defence courses for women and girls, with the next session planned for Saturday, February 14, 2026. Further sessions are planned throughout the year. For more information, call 0488 146 644.

Mackay Cyclones Swimming Club delivered an impressive performance across all age groups at the 2026 Hancock Prospecting Queensland Sprint Championships, held 7–8 February 2026, with swimmers collecting medals, finals appearances and a host of personal best results.
 
The opening day featured the club’s senior swimmers. Anisa Helou swam strongly in her heats to reach the finals in both the 16-year-old 50m freestyle and 50m butterfly, recording a national qualifying time in the butterfly and adding to her national campaign after previously qualifying in the 50m freestyle. 
 
Cyclones sprint specialist and her brother, Ehsan Helou, claimed a silver medal in the 17-year-old 50m breaststroke. The result followed a strong Queensland Country Championships campaign in Rockhampton in late January where he won silver in the 50m breaststroke and 50m freestyle, and bronze in the 50m butterfly. 
 
Oscar Wyatt and Rourke Bagley also competed on Saturday, both producing personal best times across their events.
 
The second day saw the younger swimmers take to the pool, led by Matthew Dolzon who won the Queensland State Sprint Champion (10 years S19 MC) title across all four strokes – 50m freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly – while completing eight races across the program. 
 
Maddison Searle finished 10th in the 11-year-old girls’ 50m freestyle and was first reserve for the 50m backstroke final, while her sister Ellanah Searle finished the meet with a determined swim and personal best in the 50m butterfly after a long day of racing. Vogue Miles achieved a PB in the butterfly and Willow McLennan impressed in her first State meet with PBs in freestyle and backstroke. Freyja Wyatt closed out the club’s competition with personal best performances across backstroke and breaststroke.
 
Head coach Leighanne Pokarier said the championships test both speed and resilience.

“The Sprint Championships are tough because they’re raced at high pace across all strokes, and swimmers who make finals can end up completing several races in a short duration,” she said.

“It’s a great learning meet, the skills and race execution we practise at training really matter in this format.”
 
Pokarier said the results highlighted the club’s growing strength and depth, with swimmers successfully competing against some of the State’s fastest athletes and building strong momentum heading into upcoming meets later in the season.

Excitement is building across Airlie Beach, with the 2026 sporting season shaping up as one of the strongest yet.

At the heart of it all is the Whitsunday Sportspark, where local clubs, volunteers and families are once again coming together for a year of grassroots sport, connection and community pride.
 
With sign-ons underway and pre-season training already rolling, locals of all ages are getting active. From juniors pulling on boots for the first time to long-time players dusting off the kit, there’s a real buzz around the fields as teams prepare for what promises to be a big year.
 
The Sportspark is home to AFL, rugby, football, netball, cricket and touch football, with each code reporting strong interest and growing participation. Add in carnivals, come-and-try days and community events, and the precinct is set to be busy most afternoons and weekends.
 
Just as important as what happens on the field is what happens around it. Supporters are turning up, neighbours are stopping to watch, and families are making a habit of spending time at the park. It’s that shared experience – cheering from the sidelines, catching up with mates and supporting local sport – that continues to make Club Whitsunday a true community hub.
 
Behind the scenes, volunteers, coaches, referees and committee members are once again putting in countless hours to make the season possible. Their efforts help keep sport accessible, welcoming and enjoyable for everyone involved.
 
With strong club engagement, growing participation and a community keen to get behind its local teams, the 2026 season is shaping up to be something special. Whether you’re playing, volunteering or supporting from the sidelines, there’s never been a better time to get involved.
 
To be part of the 2026 season, contact your local club. Many are currently looking for players, coaches, referees and committee members. Make 2026 your year to get active, give back and be part of your community.

A squad of ten Whitsunday Swimming Club Swimmers delivered an impressive showing at the 2026 Queensland State Sprint Championships, held in Brisbane on February 7 and 8, recording personal bests, finalist placings and valuable championship experience across the two day meet.
All swimmers recorded personal best performances throughout the weekend. Charlie competed in six events, including two Open races, and posted a personal best in the 50m Butterfly, while Bella completed seven swims, also racing in two Open events, and achieved a personal best in the 50m Breaststroke.
Axel recorded a personal best in Butterfly from three swims, and Isaac achieved a personal best in the 50m Freestyle across four events. Chloe produced a strong all-round performance, recording three personal bests from three swims, while Evie achieved a personal best in Freestyle.
George competed in three events, secured three finalist placings, and achieved a National qualifying time in the MC 50m Backstroke.
The championships also marked a milestone for three swimmers competing at the event for the first time. Charlotte raced once and recorded a personal best on debut in Freestyle, while James competed in two events, achieving personal bests in both swims. Jesse, also attending the championships for the first time, recorded a personal best in his Freestyle swim.
The Queensland State Sprint Championships provided valuable racing experience for the team, with the results reflecting both individual improvement and growing depth across the squad.
Thank you to our coaches and parents who helped make these swimmers dreams come true. Many memories were made with this incredible team over the entire weekend.

This week at Proserpine Golf Club brought a mixed bag, with challenging conditions disrupting events.
Wednesday’s bowls were washed out due to heavy rainfall, with the wet weather making the greens unplayable.
Friday night marked the first of the club’s weekly evening openings for the season. Although the rain again prevented bowls from going ahead, the clubhouse still welcomed members who came along to support the event and enjoy the social atmosphere. The weekly Friday night members draw was held, with the winning number being 39 – Bailey Bolam. As the winner was not present at the time of the draw, the prize will now jackpot to next week.
A sincere thank you goes to everyone who turned out on Friday evening despite the weather. With improving conditions forecast, the club is confident that numbers will continue to grow in the coming weeks.
Sunday afternoon provided a lovely opportunity to catch up with Mary Hedgelong, who is currently not bowling but stopped by for a chat and to enjoy watching the action for a while- it is always great to see familiar faces around the club.
On the green, a close contest saw Arthur Griffith, Bruce Uhe, Barry Zillmann and Mike Harrison draw with Arthur Griffith, Alen Sanderson, Philip Brown and Heather Brown, finishing level at 15 all.
Members look forward to better weather and another strong week at the club.

The Scroungers Round winner this week for A Group was Russ Jackson, and the winner of B Group was John Askew.
End-of-season playoff results were: Gold to Dennis Donadelli, Silver to Warren Mills, and Bronze to Tony Whitehorn.
Tuesday bowls had nineteen entrants. Ladda Purdie and Robin Brown defeated Tony Whitehorn and Lyn Hodder 36–11 to win Winner of the Day. Joan McGrath, Eric Barnard, and Sanda Argo defeated John Fielding, Gail Simms, and Maureen Barnard 28–22. Betty Whitehorn, Alan Pershouse, and Carol Crosbie (playing double lead) defeated John Brown, Kath Remmerswaal, and Carol Crosbie 27–15.
Wednesday midweek bowls saw eighteen players participate, allowing for the formation of three triples matches. John Anderson, Glen O’Brien, and John Fielding secured a victory over Barry Wainwright, Keith Bates, and Bob Spees to take first prize. David Meilklejohn, Merv Stewart, and Margo Stanley narrowly defeated Arthur McManus, Rene Thommen, and Terry Clarke by two shots.
The Wednesday evening Business House bowls competition has recommenced and is ideal for those wanting a light-hearted, friendly competition with a social atmosphere.
Friday morning Endeavour Group returned for fun bowls after the Christmas–New Year break. Happy birthday to Jett, who celebrated his 21st birthday within the last week.
There were four rinks of players for Sunday afternoon social bowls. The winning team was Lu Rogan, Dawn Dowell, and Andy McDougall, who won with the highest winning margin against Robin Brown, LouLou, and Elaine Kippen.
The club provides loan bowls for anyone interested in trying lawn bowls. Feel free to inquire at the club about free coaching lessons offered on Mondays and Thursdays from 4 to 5 pm. Stay updated by following the club on Facebook.
