I am on a continuing journey with online facilitation, learning improved ways of presenting vocational learning resources, adjusting workplace assessment so it is the changes in workplace behaviour we are measuring, for if this doesn't change is the training effective??

I have lately been on a personal growth journey, dealing with an ageing parent, and ensuring safe care when he can no longer make these decisions for himself. And watching over children fast becoming adults, supporting their decisions but no longer taking the responsibility for their choices. A fine balance of life, ancestry and descendants.

On now I am about to embark on a new journey, one of travel, wonderment and partnership. To foreign lands, Korea, and then throughout England, and maybe even France. Of flight, vehicle, ship and rail. A strengthening of the personal relationship with my husband, best friend and lover. Time well spent to ensure we are preparing for our future togetherness.

There are known health problems living near Gladstone's coal mining facility, and tonight the community of Burnett Heads were meant to be placated by the Brisbane Port Authority and Northern Energy to gain support for a coal loading facility at Burnett Heads Port; receiving some 35 double-B trucks every 24 hrs from a new coal mine near Aldershot (near Maryborough).
It is a case of Not In My Backyard.
Economics were raised that the Bundaberg Port is under-utilised, well, I don't care, and think alternative strategies for regional growth should be explored.
The impact to the reef, local community health, property values, future industry are enormous.
To get an idea of the emotion, some 200 odd community members tried to squeeze into the local hall.
