๐Ÿ“ธ Meet the Team!

A couple of weeks ago we had some fun capturing our team photos โ€“ and what a wonderful group we have! ๐Ÿ’›

Weโ€™re excited to welcome Libby to the team, bringing us to a magical milestone of 10 amazing volunteers ๐Ÿ™Œ

You might notice one familiar face missing โ€“ Karen couldnโ€™t make the photo this time, but sheโ€™s very much part of our incredible crew.

Our Visitor Centre is powered by these beautiful, friendly faces who are always ready to help you make the most of your visit.

โœจ If one of our lovely ladies has helped you recently, weโ€™d love you to drop a comment below and share the love!

Weโ€™re so proud of this team โ€“ a great group of women who bring warmth, knowledge, and a whole lot of heart to what we do ๐Ÿ’›

๐Ÿ“ข Call for Photos โ€“ Flood Affected Businesses

Good afternoon everyone,

We are currently assisting with the activation of the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA) and urgently require photos of flood-affected businesses in our region.

If you have any photos that clearly show direct flood impacts to a business or office premises (not roads or general flooding), please post on comments with location and date/time

๐Ÿ“ธ Photos should clearly show the impact to the business building or premises.

โฐ Deadline: 4:00 pm today
Email photos to: [email protected]

These images are needed to support the disaster claim submission and will help ensure our local businesses receive the support they need.

Thank you for your help at short notice โ€“ your contribution can make a real difference for our local business community.

We had some lovely ladies pop into the Centre today to show off their gorgeous festival hats by Jen Coral Creations Whitsundays โ€” and donโ€™t they look amazing! โœจ๐ŸŽฉ

Festival-ready and full of smiles, they picked up their program and checked out the shuttle bus location before the big weekend ahead.

We love seeing the excitement building around town! ๐Ÿ’™

Weโ€™re so excited to welcome everyone to our beautiful destination this weekend and wish you all an incredible time at Agnes Blues, Roots & Rock Festival

Enjoy the music, the atmosphere, and everything our Tiny Tourism Town has to offer! ๐ŸŽถ๐ŸŒŠ

๐ŸŒŸ Celebrating Our Amazing Agnes Water G.A.P.D.L Volunteers! ๐ŸŒŸ

Last Friday night, we had the absolute pleasure of spoiling our incredible volunteers at the 1770 Marina. We kicked off at The Bookshelf 1770, where everyone got to use their special vouchers to pick out a book (or three!) and explore the space - many were pleasantly surprised, as some hadnโ€™t visited before. ๐Ÿ“šโœจ

Next, we enjoyed delicious Portuguese cuisine at Barraca By The Sea, sharing great conversation, plenty of laughs, and a wonderful belated 80th birthday celebration for our longest-serving volunteer, Carolyn. ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ’›

It was a night filled with gratitude for all these amazing ladies do for our community - and a big thank you to the men for sharing their wives with us! ๐Ÿ’•

We couldnโ€™t be more thankful for our volunteers โ€” you truly make the centre, the region and community shine.

๐Ÿ’› Community is everything ๐Ÿ’›

Over the past few months, weโ€™ve been quietly working on improving the working space at the Visitor Centre so itโ€™s more functional for our team and volunteers. Before Christmas, we were lucky enough to purchase some solid shelving from Bernie at the Homewares when she sadly closed her doors - a small way of keeping local pieces local.

The shelving, however, was big, heavy and awkwardโ€ฆ and thatโ€™s where community stepped in.

Buildrite QLD Pty Ltd. generously provided a truck and some serious muscle to help move and install it โ€” completely free of charge. No invoices, no expectations. Just people helping because they could.

I might be a little biased, but this is what makes a community strong. Supporting one another, understanding that what goes around comes around and stepping up when itโ€™s needed - even when itโ€™s not your own business.

A huge thank you to John and Noni Smith and the Buildrite team for their generosity and kindness. It truly makes a difference, and it doesnโ€™t go unnoticed.

This is exactly the kind of community weโ€™re proud to be part of ๐Ÿ’™

โœจ New Year, Smarter Holidays! โœจ
Thinking ahead in 2026? A little annual leave strategy can turn a few days off into epic coastal escapes ๐ŸŒŠโ˜€๏ธ

Hereโ€™s how to stretch your leave further (and fit in more visits to beautiful places like Agnes Water & 1770 ๐Ÿ˜‰):

๐Ÿ“… Work the public holidays
Plan leave around long weekends and youโ€™ll be surprised how far it goes:
โ€ข ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ Australia Day (Jan 26) โ€“ Take 4 days, enjoy 9 days off
โ€ข ๐Ÿฃ Easter (April 3โ€“6) โ€“ Take 4 days, score 10 days off
โ€ข ๐Ÿ‘‘ Kingโ€™s Birthday (June) โ€“ Take 4 days, get 9 days off
โ€ข ๐ŸŽ„ Christmas & New Year โ€“ Use 6 days and enjoy 13 days off (hello summer road trips!)

๐Ÿ“ Think local & state-based
Different states = different public holidays. Add show days or Melbourne Cup Day and suddenly your break just got longer.

๐Ÿ“ Top tips from us
โœ”๏ธ Book your leave early
โœ”๏ธ Book your accommodation early (trust us on this one!)
โœ”๏ธ Actually switch off โ€” emails can wait
โœ”๏ธ Choose destinations that let you slow down, unwind and recharge

๐Ÿ’™ Future you will be very grateful for a calendar full of sunsets, beach walks and holiday memories.

Pop into the Visitor Information Centre or send us a message โ€” weโ€™re always happy to help you plan your next well-earned escape โœจ

๐Ÿงโ€โ™€๏ธ ELF ON THE SHELFโ€ฆ OR ELF BY THE LIGHTHOUSE? ๐Ÿ—ผโœจ

Etta has been caught red-handed in the retail section of the VIC today โ€” lurking suspiciously close to our lighthouse ornaments ๐Ÿ‘€

But waitโ€ฆ beside her was The Lighthouse of Tragedy ๐Ÿ“–
A little light reading perhaps? Especially cheeky considering itโ€™s written by our very own Stuart Buchanan, who you can still find keeping watch at the Bustard Head Lighthouse!

โœจ You can purchase signed copies of The Lighthouse of Tragedy right here at the VIC
โœจ Plus our lighthouse ornaments to keep those coastal memories glowing long after your visit

And if Etta has inspired you to see the real thingโ€ฆ
๐Ÿš™ You can visit Bustard Head Lighthouse by booking the 1770 LARC! Tours Paradise Tour
๐Ÿ“ Book online at https://www.gladstoneregion.info/explore/agnes-water-1770/tour/1770-larc-tours/
or pop in and see us at the VIC

Ettaโ€™s clearly feeling festiveโ€ฆ and a little light-house obsessed ๐ŸŽ„๐Ÿ˜‰
