When the Bribie Weightlifting Club teamed up with the IAMKIND Movement, they set out to do something a little different from the usual grind of training and competing. For four weeks, a group of young lifters took part in the Purpose Project, a program designed to show how kindness, gratitude and purpose can be put into practice. What began as a simple idea turned into one of Bribie’s biggest community events and left the athletes with a whole new understanding of strength.

It’s not very often we get the opportunity to recognise our team on a personal level. Our very own senior journalist Sheree Hoddinett has been named as a finalist in the Creative Service of the Year category at the prestigious ALIBI (Australian Ladies in Business Initiative) Awards.

Now in its fourth year, the ALIBI Awards shine a spotlight on women in business across Australia, whether in big cities, small towns or regional communities who are making a real impact. These awards are not about perfection or shiny highlight reels. They celebrate the courage, resilience and heart it takes to build a business and keep showing up.
For Sheree, who has built her career on a passion for storytelling and connecting with people, the recognition has been both humbling and exciting, especially when she almost didn’t complete the nomination.

As the days lengthen and the subtropical sun warms the sandy soils of Bribie Island and its surrounding Moreton Bay region, local gardeners are gearing up for the thrill of summer harvesting. Here in Queensland's Southeast, where Bribie Island's coastal breezes meet the mainland's lush hinterlands, the climate offers both opportunities and challenges for small-scale vegetable growers. With average summer temperatures ranging from 24-35°c and high humidity often punctuated by afternoon storms, your backyard plot can yield an abundance of fresh produce - if you are prepared. Whether you're tending a compact balcony garden in Bongaree or a sunny patch in Caboolture, this guide draws on local expertise to help you maximise your harvest while navigating the heat, humidity and occasional downpours typical of December through February.

As of late August 2025, fishing conditions in the Bribie Island and Moreton Bay regions are shaping up well, with improving weather and active fish movements typical of the transition from winter to spring in Southeast Queensland. The bay's shallow waters, estuaries and islands provide diverse habitats, from sandy flats to artificial reefs and channels. Recent reports indicate good action on schooling species and bottom feeders, though winds can still be variable. I'll break this down into the current report, summer prospects (December 2025 to February 2026), target species and recommended lures.

The much-anticipated Brain Injury Awareness Expo - Flourish & Thrive 2025 was cancelled last month after heavy rain left the ground too wet for stalls to set up. With no indoor venue available at short notice, the Brain Awareness Centre and Brain Injury Group (co-hosts) were devastated for the brain injury community, who had been looking forward to the event.

But the community found another way forward. On August 22, the inaugural Caboolture Brain Injury Network event (for the vendors) was held at The Jacaranda Café, Bolton Clarke Fernhill Caboolture, the regular home of The Brain Awareness Centre’s Mindful Mornings. While it wasn’t a replacement for the expo, it became an important opportunity to connect, share and build momentum.

In the sun-drenched paradise of Bribie Island a fierce debate is raging over the proposed new bridge that promises to duplicate the existing structure, easing traffic woes and unlocking economic potential. With a price tag hovering around $756 million, the Queensland government's plan - outlined in a recent business case - aims to add two eastbound lanes and an active transport path while repurposing the old bridge for westbound traffic. But as construction edges closer, two camps have emerged: those championing regional growth and skyrocketing property values and a vocal minority clinging to the Island's ‘quiet haven’ status, fearing an influx of outsiders will shatter their serene bubble.
