I have just had the pleasure of attending the Springsure Federation Woolshed Information Centre Volunteers Week celebrations. Twenty-Two Visitor Centre volunteers from Emerald, Duaringa and Springsure were presented with certificates and badges in recognition of the great community work that they do. To be frank, without our volunteers, organisations spread across the Central Highlands would not be sustainable. As Central Highlands Deputy Mayor Gail Godwin-Smith says, “without volunteers, many clubs, organisations committees and groups would not be here.” Well done to all our volunteers spread right across the region. Your efforts are highly valued and we thank you for doing such a great job.

Just a final note, during our travels to Springsure we must have passed 30-40 caravanners heading north. They are on their way to the Central Highlands. It’s a promising sign that this year’s tourism season is about to begin.
