Welcome back!

Do you know what happens when you get slapped at high frequency?

I’m not going to tell you because the answer is on page two of the Chitchat Newspaper September 2026 edition. This month is jam packed with local stories that inform, educate, entertain, and inspire. We also throw a spotlight on Vanuatu as our foreign correspondent shares travel tips and explores life in a tax haven. We touch on the unwritten rules of suburban mow wars, spotlight local businesses and interview a young high school student about his new business venture.

Welcome to the July online edition of the Chitchat Newspaper. We hope you’ll find this month’s paper enjoyable, entertaining, informative, and a little provocative.

It’s our 2nd anniversary as new owners of the Chitchat, which has been in print since the turn of the millennium, back in 1999. We appreciate the feedback and support of the community, which helps us provide a relevant and independent source of news and commentary throughout the region. We look forward to many more years.

I can’t believe we’re halfway through the year already… Maybe some of you are excited that the new tax year has begun. Is it glass half full, or half empty?

Let’s say it’s half full, so grab half a mug of your favorite beverage, kick back and enjoy the best community paper the Bundaberg region has to offer.

The cooler weather has finally arrived.

I can’t say I’m a fan, but at least we still get plenty of warm days to stroll along the beach, wander through the parks, and enjoy the outdoors.

This June, the Chitchat has a bit of everything to keep readers engaged. Grab a warm coffee or tea and settle in with an eclectic collection of community stories, obscure art, international investments, sports news, festivals, events, feel-good stories, tech news, rants, laughs, arts, and so much more.

We keep the Chitchat FREE to read thanks to the generosity of our sponsors. Please support the local businesses that support us, because when you support them, you help support this paper too.

We hope you enjoy the June 2026 issue of the Chitchat Newspaper.

May is a month of opportunities.

Labour Day is an opportunity to relax and reflect on the fact that our region is built on the backs of hard work — early starts, long days, and people of character, who simply get on with it.

Don’t forget to wish someone “May the 4th be with you” — a nod to Star Wars and a reminder to smile and not take things too seriously.

Mother’s Day gives us a chance to stop and thank our mums, grandmas, and the ones who are always in our corner — carrying more than their fair share, without thought of reward, and we owe them more than we can put into words.

We hope you enjoy the May edition of the Chitchat.

We sit down with Jannes and Tarissa from Bamboo Land — a true generational success story. What began as a passion for bamboo has grown into world-class gardens and a thriving business employing dozens of locals while shipping plants right across Australia. It’s a powerful example of future-proofing a regional enterprise and thinking long term.

If you’ve ever wondered whether there’s still opportunity for young, hard-working Australians, don’t miss our Opportunity Knocks feature. With several local businesses changing hands, there’s real potential for sweat equity, smart offers and fresh ambition to create the next chapter of success. For those willing to look closely and work hard, the door is open.

The Childers Grand Hotel is turning the volume back up, reviving the live music scene that once defined the 70s. Live music has a way of bringing a town together — and this revival is already building momentum.

We also highlight free community events that could genuinely save lives. LifeFlight’s emergency trauma training sessions in Woodgate and Bundaberg this March will teach you what to do in snake bites, farm accidents, burns, bleeding, choking and motor vehicle incidents — critical skills while waiting for helicopter transfer. This is a must-attend event. Details inside.

Want to sharpen your digital skills? The Be Connected workshops on March 4 with David Hallesy and Robert Tedge offer free technology training to help you stay confident and capable online.

Celebrate culture and community at Harmony Day in Childers on Wednesday 18th March, featuring a seven-course tasting meal, live entertainment, guest speakers and cultural demonstrations.

Inside you’ll also find RSL news, practical real estate makeover tips, and — because we all need a laugh — Dr Evil’s take on a rather unique WWII bunker for sale just an hour from Brisbane.

And importantly, we continue following developments around changes to the Queensland Public Health Act. It’s worth staying informed.

Who’s broken their New Year’s resolution yet?

We are once again pleased to bring you the most unique local paper that features news and events you won’t find elsewhere. It was great to see some younger readers picking up papers and having a read with smiles on their faces while doing the drop-offs. I also had a local lawnmowing business owner approach me to tell me how much he loved the paper and the work we’re doing whilst making a delivery in Apple Tree Creek. It’s things like these that give us the passion to keep improving and growing.

We feel like we’re doing our little bit to keep local print media alive in 2026. You don’t need to pay $3.50 to be bombarded with local, state, and federal government press releases and boring cookie-cutter, sanitised articles. We won’t pat pollies on the back for spending our money and expecting praise for it. We share down-to-earth stories, interesting news articles, and try to balance the scales in terms of giving a voice to the underdogs and Aussie battlers. If you enjoy our papers, make sure you go and tell one of our sponsors. They have a deep care and connection to all of our readers and want to see the Chitchat remain FREE TO READ and continue strong throughout 2026.

It’s hard to believe, but it’s been a full year since we took the reins of your local paper — and what a rollercoaster ride it’s been! The learning curve has been steep as we found our footing as publishers: navigating printing logistics, delivery hiccups, government compliance, and more than a few unexpected setbacks.

But despite the challenges, it’s also been a tremendous source of joy. We’ve loved expanding the scope of our stories and bringing more people together across our wider community. The letters and feedback we continue to receive have been overwhelmingly positive, and they fuel our determination to keep pushing the boundaries of what a small local newspaper can achieve.

In this issue, we’re proud to partner with local real estate agencies who recognise the value of connecting with the broader community. You’ll find listings, rental and sale opportunities, and timely stories on the trends and issues shaping our local property market.

This month is full of exciting updates and community news. We kick things off by celebrating the Australia Day Awards, where we recognise local individuals who have made significant contributions to our community. There’s also great news about a generous donation of land to secure the Camp Gregory Boat Ramp, which will help future-proof the campgrounds.

We’ve got Heritage Day news, with upcoming events that celebrate our history and culture. Plus, we’re shining a spotlight on the local fireflies, a fascinating feature of our natural environment. Our cadets have been busy, and we’ve got the latest on their activities. Rotary also shares updates on the community projects they’re currently working on.

Finally, we’re offering FREE GIVEAWAYS! Be sure to check out the details and get your chance to win some fantastic prizes. Read on for all the latest happenings in our community in this month’s Chitchat Newspaper!

We trust you had a wonderful Christmas break and an enjoyable New Year. As usual, the Chitchat Newspaper took a break over the month of January to recharge the batteries and prepare for the year ahead.

This issue culminates a month’s worth of restful planning and consideration. We have updated the look of the paper to reflect the feedback given by the community and have included a new sports section and more giveaways. We aim to continue offering an informative, fun, and interesting newspaper that brings the wider community together. Our loyal advertisers and sponsors make such an impact to the community by allowing the Chitchat to be absolutely FREE.

Each month 5000 papers go out into the local area reaching residents and visitors. Over 400 papers are delivered to home addresses and more than 80 supportive business locations stock the paper.

Check out our locations…

We hope you enjoy this issue and please feel free to interact via our website and Facebook page.
