Have you liked the Hello Townsville page yet? Not only will you be amongst all the latest chatter about town, you can also be in the draw to win win win! Zena is having a 'Grow My Page' competition and over 70 businesses have chucked in to help her achieve her goal - that means there's over 70 prizes on offer! Head over to her page if you'd like to be in it to win it!

Since moving here in 2025, 'Hello Townsville' has been that lil sparkle that has shared all she's learned about our town as she's discovered it - in the hopes it will help the next person who moves here. How thoughtful is that!

She has also become a great 'support local' advocate, actively seeking out and sharing new places weekly to see, and new events weekly to do, she talks about all the businesses she finds, and how Townsville has made her and her family shine! She's a lil cup of pick-me-up that reminds us all to 'seek and you shall find'. 🌻

❤️💛🖤 Thank you to St Patrick’s College for having us again for their annual NAIDOC Celebration💚💙🤍

It was a beautiful celebration of culture and heritage, with food, dance, crafts and performances throughout the night. It was such a great event to experience and be part of.

Thank you to Gayle for inviting me back into the classroom to share what I know and have learnt about running a small business with the Year 11/12 Business girls. I love the annual collaboration this has become, especially seeing their ideas go from designs in the classroom to finished earrings on the stall.

I’m so proud of this year’s designers. They created some incredible designs and should be really proud of what they produced. Everyone loved them on the night, with many of the designs selling out.

The girls also did a fantastic job running the stall. They helped get everything set up, organised all of the earrings into their colour-coded sections, welcomed customers, helped people find their pairs, packaged purchases and ran the till.

I was honestly there for the vibes 😂

They handled it all themselves, and their professionalism and attention to customer service really stood out. It was so good watching them put what they’ve learnt into practice and take ownership of the stall. Seeing people choose and buy designs they created themselves made the whole collaboration even more special.

And a final mention to Tallisha, who puts so much into creating such a special NAIDOC celebration each year. It’s a beautiful night that brings everyone together to celebrate culture, connection and community.

💚💙🤍 Until next year ❤️💛🖤
