I would like to congratulate Maree and Mac of the Myall River Camp at Hawks Nest for taking out the recent gold award at Destination North Coast Tourism Awards for excellence in camping, glamping and caravanning. This comes on top of their 2023 travellers choice award and caravanning excellence award in 2022.

I'd like to congratulate Kyle Polidano of Marlee, who's aiming to win a gold medal at the next WorldSkills Australia championship as the nation's best electrical apprentice.

I would also like to give a giant shout-out to Ted Bickford, affectionately known in Foster-Tuncurry as the 'graffiti buster'. He's still going, after years and years as a volunteer, responding to graffiti callouts and educating youth in our local area about cleaning up graffiti. He had been doing this by himself but is now supported by the MidCoast Council.

Another shout-out to local Lorne residents Shaun and Liz Silkman, whose Silkman Wines recently won the trophy for best small wine producer for their 2022 reserve chardonnay at the Sydney Royal Wine Show. Congratulations on great achievements by my Lyne residents.
