We thank Cannons Swimming Club for a fantastic meet!

Just over forty runners completed the 5k, 15k, 30km event from Northview Gardens early Sunday morning.
The new course was announced by Vice-President, Brendan Bishop who did a great job explaining the twists and turns with the 30km runners heading out to the Harbour via a West Mackay loop to the Botanic Gardens.
The 5km and 15km runners started fifteen minutes after the 30km runners who were sent on their way at 6am.
Paul Mackenzie and Mick Vivian were a great support to each other with Paul being the eventual victor in 2 hours 9 minutes earning himself maximum overall and age category club championship points.
First female in the 30km, Carolyn Mapes admirably stepped up to the longer distance stopping the clock in 2hrs 44 seconds.
Darren Pullen was in excellent form taking out the 5km with Lauren Connor securing the female 5km crown. Toby Rule took out the 15km event with brother, Oliver, close behind in second. First female in the 15km was Alana Knesevic.
This Sunday’s event will be the historical Farmer’s Long Gallop from Life Member Agnes Farmer’s home on 62 Evans Ave, North Mackay.

Whitsunday Sea Eagles hosted Bakers Creek and Moranbah at home on Saturday for a super fun Family Day event which also saw Sea Eagles on the winners list.
Sea Eagles Senior Men’s side were back on top overcoming Bakers Creek at home 80 – 33.
In what was a high pressure and scrappy game at times, the Sea Eagles experience and class got them over the line.
Hudson McGregor was strong in the ruck whilst Angus Blackwood and Brayden Wall gave Sea Eagles targets and opportunities up forward.
Sea Eagles Senior Women saw a slow start trailing Bakers Creek by a couple of goals from the get-go and remaining slightly behind for the game going down 38 – 53.
After a close loss last week Sea Eagles Under 17s were keen to put on a show at home and did just that winning 79 – 19 (adj) against Bakers Creek.
A strong start by the Sea Eagles put early pressure on the Tigers and by the end of the first half Sea Eagles were completely in control with a good even spread of contributors.
A strong start was important to Sea Eagles Under 14s after a tough loss last week and that came to fruition with a convincing 93 – 33 (adj) win over Bakers Creek.
It was great to see players giving different roles a go without intensity dropping off.
Sea Eagles Under 12s faced a full strength Moranbah for what was a tense and evenly matched encounter eventually running out winners in a close final term 35 – 28.
This Saturday 24th June sees all five Whitsunday Sea Eagles teams hit the road taking on Eastern Swans at Rogers Oval with Juniors from 9:15am and Seniors from 1:50pm.
Get to Mackay to support all teams where you can!

Saturday afternoon saw a full day of football action at the Sports Park culminating in big wins for the senior Premier squads.
The day started early with the U13 FQPL side taking on second place Magpies.
The home side put in a strong performance on the back of solid defence from Lauren, Sarah, and Karlee which helped keep the score goalless until very late in the game when Magpies managed to break the deadlock.
A last-minute goal as against the run of play gave the final score 2-0 to the Magpies.
Yet again, the U15 Div1 side did everything but win the game against Country.
In an evenly poised match, they played exception football and dominated possession but just could not find the back of the net.
Div2 men played against the U17 Lions on Saturday afternoon.
While the game was back and forth the Whitsunday team never really looked like getting into their stride. Failing to take chances that came their way the Whitsunday team eventually fell 4-1 to the young Lions squad.
Div1 men had an arm wrestle of a game against Sarina.
Going into the half 1-1. The Whitsunday front line were a constant threat, eventually taking the lead with a mazy run from Tate Butler who beat three Sarina players to score a beautiful solo goal, seeing the game out 2-2.
The Reserve women played out a frustrating draw with Rangers. The two teams were evenly matched in the first half which saw them go into the break nil all.
The ladies kept trying but couldn’t break through the defence and came away with a 1-1 draw.
Premier women continued their winning streak with a 10-0 win over Country (Orange).
Whitsunday were determined to come out strong, knowing that Country were sitting in the top 4 on the ladder.
The goals started early in the first half thanks to Steph who finished off a cross from Akema. Willow then demonstrated absolute class by curling a corner ball into the net, and not long after Lena got on the end of a corner to put Whitsundays further ahead.
A few weeks off now and the next game will be the top of the table clash against Lions.
The Mens Premier Reserves were looking to bounce back after last week’s defeat.
Kurt Ashley put the game to bed with 5 minutes to go with Whitsundays winning 4-1.
The Premier Men started their game with a bang through a Scott Boldy goal in the 3rd minute. Unfortunately, the lads didn’t play their best football for the remainder of the half and lacked the clinical touches they had the week before.
Whitsundays ran out 8-1 winners, but it was great to see Dolphins fight to the end with so many young talented players.

Crossing education with agricultural fun, Melville’s Baby Animal Petting Farm is the perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the main show.
Spend some time away with the baby animals in this private corner of the show, and don’t forget to take up the offer of feeding some of the larger animals when you get the chance.
“Otherwise, the animals won’t come over to you; the animals need a reason to come say hi,” said Craig Melville, one half of the couple behind the hit travelling farm.
This travelling petting farm has been a major attraction for Show Whitsunday, with adults and children alike flocking in for a warm snuggle and to feed the baby animals.
Boasting the very best of farm animals, including pigs, goats, chickens, guinea pigs, ducks, sheep, cow, and an alpaca, this is sure to entertain and amuse every member of the family.
This year, Melville’s is excited to introduce some special animals that are new to the petting farm.
Six mini lop eared rabbits, something that a lot of Queensland families won’t see so close and personal, plus four llamas, a donkey, quails, and the massive dinosaur chicken.
This travelling petting farm brings all the fun of farm-life straight to the clutches of our coastal living, with the best of exotic creature.
Don’t forget to say hi to Bindi and Mouse, the mother-child duo of miniature blue cattle dogs, who are always on show, up high on hay bales, with their matching bandanas. You can’t miss them!
Try your hand at feeding the gentle creatures at Melville’s Baby Animal Petting Farm
