🐋 Breaking News 🐋 For those interested, I've given my videos to channel 10. They should be mentioning it at 1pm and 5pm news today 🐋

Update: also, channel 7 Mackay at 6pm. And channel 7 Brisbane 6pm and maybe 4pm 🐋🫶🐋

This is just motion photos of Larry starting the rescue process, not the videos I mention 😊

Additional note: pooring water over the whales blow hole was a one off, please avoid this if you are in the same situation.

🐋❤️ A huge thank you to some very special local legends

This happened not too far from Montes, and although it wasn’t at the resort, we wanted to share a little bit of what we witnessed and give a massive shout-out to the people who jumped in to help.

A whale had washed up on the shore, and a call for help was made by our previous caretaker, Larry. He was instructed to keep the whale wet by covering it with towels and continually pouring water over it while waiting for the rescue team to arrive.

I was able to help a little in the meantime, providing some shade and buckets of water, until the team arrived with a gazebo, watering cans and everything they needed to properly care for the whale.

And then these guys got to work. ❤️

A special mention to Tim, our local legend, who has been doing this for more than 15 years. What an incredible amount of knowledge and experience he must have.

There was also a young bloke whose name I unfortunately didn’t get, but he played a really important part in the rescue, along with the crew of the boat that came to assist. Thank you to all of you for being there and doing what you do 🙌

And Ben, who was up here from down south working alongside our local team. Ben was quite literally running the beach, coordinating communication with the boat that came to assist, looking a little like the David Hasselhoff of whale rescues 👌🐋

These guys spent more than 8½ hours working to keep the whale comfortable, hydrated and in the best possible condition before helping get it back out to sea.

That is an incredible commitment to our wildlife and our community ❤️

So, to everyone involved, thank you. What you do matters.

If you know any of these legends, please give them a shout out and let them know how appreciated they are 👏

I think my thanks goes to our local Marine Rescue Whitsunday, formerly VMR Whitsunday 🛟 And to Queensland parks and wild life Whitsunday.

And the Progressive Dinner finally happened! 🛺

As you might recall, we gave a shout out to a great local business after we had to postpone our Mother’s Day Tuk Tuk progressive dinner. We finally got to go and Mum absolutely loved it! ❤️

A huge shout out again to Just Tuk'n Around Airlie Beach 🛺 and especially Steve, our Tuk Tuk driver. He was fantastic! 🙌

One of the fun things about the Progressive Dinner is that you don’t know which restaurants you’ll be visiting until you’re there. This time, our Tuk Tuk took us to Coral Sea Pavilion for starters, The Deck for mains and Hog’s Breath Cafe for dessert. All extremely tasty 😋

If you’re staying with us and heading into Airlie Beach for the day, check them out 🛺

Airlie Beach- Australia's Top Small Tourism Town 🫶

🏆 AIRLIE BEACH — AUSTRALIA’S TOP SMALL TOURISM TOWN! 🌴🎉

What a fantastic result this morning, with Airlie Beach taking out the national Top Small Tourism Town Award at Parliament House in Canberra.

Tourism is in the Whitsundays’ DNA, and this recognition belongs to the thousands of people who make our region such a memorable destination — our operators, accommodation providers, hospitality businesses, retailers, event organisers and tourism workforce.

After six years of nominations, it was pretty special to finally bring this one home. 👏

I was also pleased to use the national stage to reinforce two issues that are critical to the future of regions like ours:

✈️ Working Holiday Maker settings — international workers are not only an important visitor market, they are also part of the backbone of our regional workforce.

🌧️ Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements — reliable and fit-for-purpose disaster funding is essential for tourism regions, helping us recover quickly and protect the infrastructure our communities and visitors rely on.

Awards like this celebrate what we have achieved, but they also give us a platform to keep advocating for what regional tourism communities need to succeed into the future.

A huge congratulations to Airlie Beach and everyone who plays a part in the Whitsunday tourism story. 💙🌴
