Is There Enough Culture Here In Proserpine And The Whitsundays? Darren Sullivan

Darren Sullivan
I'd probably say as far as the population and how much people want it, yeah, there would be, but probably not as much as other places. Most people just went down to Cannonvale or Airlie Beach where they have a bit more access to that. And I’d like to see more up here in Proserpine, it wouldn’t be a bad thing.

Nikki Ellis
I don't think there's enough here at all. But yeah, I think, art exhibitions and other things like that, I would absolutely like to see that. I'm a bit of a recluse. I stay at home a lot. So, I don't really come out and do stuff. But I think with what the Proserpine Entertainment Centre (PEC) is doing with the comedy festivals is good, but I think there needs to be more.

Christine Perry
I'm just traveling through, but I do actually travel around Australia, I've been on the road for two and a half years. So, I go visit all these different towns. And this is my exploration walk to see what this is like. So, the one thing that does impress me is the cultural centre up there and then I noticed walking down here there was like a dance studio and those sorts of things and I think you don't see that too often. So that's a plus in I suppose a small country town.

Betty Atkinson
Well, for the older populations, what we have here with the PEC, the shows that come to the entertainment centre, it’s sufficient for them. But I think it's more the people down towards Cannonvale, the younger generation, the talk of an art gallery and other things would interest them, I think that would be very helpful.

Toni-Ann Parry
More museums would be good. I know we've got one here in Proserpine and an art gallery it would be good. There’s only one museum here, and I’m in Airlie Beach so no, there isn’t enough, there’s only one.
