By Chase Christensen  While the Brisbane Broncos continue to struggle through one of the toughest periods in recent club history, their Queensland rivals are enjoying a season to remember. The Dolphins have emerged as one of the competition's biggest success stories in 2026 and are quickly becoming Queensland's best hope of premiership glory.  After securing six consecutive victories, the Dolphins find themselves sitting comfortably inside the top four on the NRL ladder. It

By Chase Christensen    One of the biggest and youngest stories in Australian sport right now is Bribie Island golf prodigy Narsha Solomon.  At just 10-years-old, Narsha has already achieved what many golfers spend decades chasing. She recently became the youngest Australian ever to win a women's open club championship after claiming victory in the Pacific Harbour Women's Club Championship.  What makes the achievement even more remarkable is the way she won. Competing aga

By Chase Christensen  The alarm bells are ringing loudly at Red Hill as the Brisbane Broncos find themselves in a desperate battle to save their season. After winning the premiership in 2025 and entering this year with hopes of going back-to-back, the Broncos now face the very real possibility of missing the finals altogether.  Brisbane's season has taken a dramatic turn for the worse following six consecutive losses. What was once a campaign filled with promise has quickly

Report for May 7 Eight sailors completed only eight races in somewhat shifty winds. Cool temperatures, 25 degrees C. The breeze was estimated at 2 - 5 Kts from the W-NW. This necessitated a course change, heading for the red buoy (Westward) rather than the yellow, starboard side rounding. One highest score per sailor was discounted. Today's winner: Kevin on 22 points. His handicap goes up to 60 seconds. Second: Wayne on 23 points. Third: Ken with 24 points. Report for May

Winter on Bribie Island and throughout the Moreton Bay region is a fantastic time for gardeners. With mild days, cooler nights and minimal frost risk in our coastal area, the garden keeps growing steadily. Lower humidity and reduced pest pressure make it one of the most enjoyable and productive seasons of the year. This is my take on what to do in our gardens now that we are well into winter. Why winter gardening works so well here Our subtropical climate means that our g

Sadly, I’ve only had the opportunity to head out on the water once in the last month. Nonstop 15 knot+ winds are a good preventative for those of us who crave the water and the thrill of the catch. The one day we did manage to venture out was extremely challenging, which we knew would be. Talk about uncomfortable, 3m swell and 10 knots of wind against it – WOW – hang onto your hats. Definitely not easy conditions to fish in, but grateful to be out. Surprisingly, the fishing

Solid winter action Mid-winter has settled comfortably over Bribie Island and the Pumicestone Passage, delivering cooler mornings, variable winds and consistent fishing for both land-based anglers and small boat fishos. While some gusty days have kept boats closer to home, the protected waters, surf beaches, jetties and canals have produced reliable catches of tailor, flathead, bream, whiting and more. Overall conditions Winds have been a mixed bag, with westerlies and so

Bribie Island and Sandstone Point have always represented the best of southeast Queensland living — accessible yet unspoiled, a place where families fish, 4WD enthusiasts explore and retirees find peace right next door to the Pumicestone Passage. In 2026 however, this special corner of Moreton Bay stands at a tipping point. A $250 million luxury resort proposal, ongoing erosion challenges, surging tourism pressures and plans for a second bridge are converging. The question is

It has been another busy and productive period across the electorate of Pumicestone. Throughout May I had the opportunity to attend a wide range of community events, meet with local organisations and speak with residents about the issues that matter most to them. One of the highlights of the month was seeing our community come together for a number of local events that showcased the incredible spirit, resilience and generosity that make Pumicestone such a wonderful place to
