  • My hometown – Ingham…

    I’ve decided to change the direction I’ve been writing lately to a subject I am extremly passionate about – my hometown – Ingham. The small town (that is rapidly growing) is situated approximately 110 kilometres north of Townsville and 1,437 kilometres north of the state capital, Brisbane.

  • Broadwater – Abergowrie State Forest…

    My first memories I have down Broadwater was from when I was maybe, maybe ten years old and went down the rapids on my cousin’s boogie board and cut my knees up pretty bad on the rocks. Then there was the camping trip where Uncle Mickey got stung by a stonefish, or maybe it was…

  • My scenery snaps over the years…

    Something many people take for granted is how beautiful their hometown is until something serious happens. Take me for example – I just lived in the Hinchinbrook Shire fishing, camping and riding – living subconsciously – kind of like I was on autopilot. I never really considered how beautiful this area, The Hinchinbrook Shire was…

  • My favourite place in the world – Bronte Beach…

    Bronte Beach became my stomping ground when I was about 13 years old when we would tell dad we were going for a ride, and ‘of course we were just riding around the farm.’ – We would tell him with our fingers crossed behind our backs. In all seriousness, we were lucky nothing serious ever…

  • Cyclones and floods in the Hinchinbrook Shire since ’92’…
