The Bribie Islander | A Community Magazine for Local People

Welcome, Edition 274 Out Now!

There’s plenty happening around Bribie this month, so let’s get into it. First up, we’re celebrating Seniors Month with a special pullout on services for local seniors. It covers care, health, social groups, help at home, and ways to stay active and meet people. If you or someone you know could use a bit of support, keep this one handy. There’s plenty of help available locally—the tricky part can be knowing where to start.

The Bribie Island Nature Festival is also back from 9–11 October, giving us another good reason to get out and enjoy the natural wonders of Yarun. There’s a great mix of free and low-cost activities, with everything priced at $20 or less. The kids are well looked after too. WILD Bribie is a new event at the festival, with the free Larrikin Puppet Show, the Water Mouse Mystery Maze, and heaps of displays to explore. It should be a great day out—and they might even learn something while they’re at it.

Families can also join in Discovering Moreton Bay: A Family Adventure in Shells and Citizen Science. It’s a chance to take a closer look at our own backyard, learn something new, and spend some time together.

As always, please get behind these local events if you can. Turn up, bring the family, and tell a mate. Our organisers, volunteers, and community groups put a lot into making things happen around Bribie, and a good local turnout really does mean a lot.

That’s a wrap for Edition 274. Thanks for reading and supporting local—it really does make a difference around here. Get out and enjoy our little patch of paradise, and I’ll catch you next edition.

Take care, stay safe,
