The Cunnamulla district is rejoicing after receiving some of the best rain reported since 2012. Mitchell also received good rain over Easter.

May the rain keep falling as we need it badly.

taken root,
and shoots have sprung.
The fields need nourishment from sunlight and rain. ... See MoreSee Less

Prince Harry and I spent a day on a pig farm just before Easter.
We arrived early to help feed the pigs and watched some little ones drink from there mother. Little did we know we would also witness the birthing of these cute little piglets....
This experience reminded me so much of my childhood when mum and dad had pigs on one of our farms. We all loved our animals! It is interesting to know that the sale of our pigs enabled my eldest brother and sister to attend boarding school. The younger four children, including myself, wanted to stay at school in the local area......no boarding school for us!
Thank you for the delicious breakfast, the chat, the sound of laughter in the midst of the struggles you are facing. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with you. HARRY is exhausted so is taking a nap. ... See MoreSee Less

📣 Confirmed measles cases for Brisbane's southside and Gold Coast📣

Please find more information about the measles cases outlined below:

Queensland Health has been notified of a case of measles on Brisbane's southside.

The person was likely to be infectious whilst visiting the following locations between Saturday 6 April and Sunday 7 April 2019.

• 6 April 2019: Arrived at Roma Street Train Station at 8:45pm, having caught a train from Central Station, Sydney, at 7:10am on the same day
• 6 April 2019: Stayed at Somewhere to Stay, Highgate Hill
• 7 April 2019: Somewhere to Stay, Highgate Hill. Walked into the PAH Emergency Department at 8pm

Our friends at NSW Health have confirmed two cases of measles, where the patients visited the Gold Coast before visiting New South Wales. They visited the following locations while likely infectious:

• 30 March 2019: Scoot flight TR6, which departed Singapore on Friday 29 March and arrived at Coolangatta International Airport at 8:10am
• Travelled from Coolangatta International Airport to Pottsville via Uber
• 2 April 2019: Visited shops in Pottsville and Cabarita, including IGA at Pottsville and Woolworths at Cabarita
• 3 April 2019: Attended a Main Street Medical centre in Murwillumbah
•The Tweed Hospital Emergency Department
• 4 April 2019: The Tweed Hospital Emergency Department

People who were in these locations on these dates should seek medical advice if they develop symptoms.

The initial symptoms of measles include fever, lethargy, runny nose, moist cough and sore and red eyes. This is followed a few days later by a blotchy, red rash. The rash often starts on the face then becomes widespread over the body.

Contact your GP or call 13 HEALTH (13 43 25 84) for more information. If you have any of the measles symptoms contact your GP and remember it is VERY important to call the medical practice first if you think you might have measles, so that staff can take precautions to avoid you spreading it to others.
Anyone born after 1965 who was in these areas and who has not been fully vaccinated against measles (two doses of MMR) should contact their GP.
(Note: image is not of diagnosed patient - this is merely the best image to show the symptoms). ... See MoreSee Less

THIS IS DEVASTATING

The Federal Environment Minister Melissa Price's decision today to rush through Adani’s groundwater plan on the eve of the election looks like cynical politics at its worst.
Farmers and graziers across central Queensland have just endured eight straight years of drought and relied on groundwater to survive. There are still concerns about the amount of water Adani is seeking to use.

Farmers expect real leadership from our elected representatives, and a vision for a future that doesn’t put at risk the natural resources our farming communities rely on.The Federal Environment Minister Melissa Price's decision today to rush through Adani’s groundwater plan on the eve of the election looks like cynical politics at its worst.
