Have A Chat With Hannah 7 November

Hi lovely readers!

How great does our new design look?

It’s vibrant, fresh, and a wonderful change!

If you couldn’t already tell, the green and blue hues reflect our stunning Great Barrier Reef and vibrant hinterland.

We live in such an incredible part of the world. I even watched a YouTube video recently with my husband Adam titled Top Places To Visit in Australia, and Cape Hillsborough and the Whitsunday Islands made the list!

While we may complain about the summer heat, deep down, we wouldn’t have it any other way.

One of the things I love most about this paper is how it highlights the very best of our region.

The Mackay Isaac Tourism Awards were held last Friday, and you can read all about it on page 21. It’s been a big week for our region: Premier David Crissifulli visited Chances House, announcing $2 million for frontline homeless services (page 3), and on page 4, you’ll read about a community cabinet discussion on key areas of regional growth held right here in Mackay.

So many positive developments instill a real sense of community pride. Funny enough, 10 years ago my parents packed up our house in Melbourne and moved here for the lifestyle, and now as I grow older, I completely understand why!

I love our region. Yes, there’s bad news everywhere, but if you don’t appreciate what you have, you’ll never enjoy where you are.

Scripture of the week: “In their hearts, humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.” – Proverbs 16:9

Have a blessed week!

Hannah
