Get excited everyone!

Kingaroy Basketball in collaboration with Bunyarra Wellbeing Co. are excited to announce that we are bringing basketball royalty to the South Burnett.

On Friday the 15th of August we are lucky enough to have the one and only Nate Jawai coming to our region to spend an afternoon with our players.

From the NBA to the Boomers and NBL, Nate has done it all.

A wealth of knowledge, and a great asset to community, we are excited to have him join us.

🔍 BACK TO THE BEGINNING – THE DAY JACK DISAPPEARED 🔍

Sometimes the answers lie in the smallest overlooked details.
That’s why we’re going back — back to Friday, October 4th, 2024.
The day Jack McLennan vanished at Ficks Crossing, Murgon.

🕵️‍♂️ Here’s what we do know:

Jack was going through a breakup and was searching for somewhere new to live.

He was spending time with a mate — something so normal for a weekend.

He had dinner in Wondai that evening…

Then, for reasons still unclear, he ended up at Ficks Crossing.

But what else happened that day?

🔸 What was Jack’s mood like?
🔸 Did anyone else see Jack that Friday?
🔸 Were any sightings confirmed or disputed?
🔸 Did he speak to anyone unusual?
🔸 Was there anything off in his behaviour?

🧩 We need to reconstruct that day in absolute detail. No piece of the puzzle is too small.

➡️ We’re calling on YOU — the public, the locals, the friends, the ones who saw or heard anything.
Did you see Jack? Did he message you? Did something feel “off” about that Friday?

📩 Drop your info, tips or even gut feelings — anonymously if you prefer.
It’s time we piece this back together from the start.

Because Jack didn’t just vanish.
Something happened.
And someone knows what.

Today, Generation
Funerals honoured the Late Danny Turner with one final ride. Just the way he would have wanted it. Danny took his last journey aboard a Harley Hearse, surrounded by love, respect, and the roar of the road, with a Veteran es**rt to Nanango followed by loved ones..
Rest easy Danny. Throttle wide with clear skies…

Meet Heath “Rack” Rackemann. Rack is a strong supporter of Wave to a Truckie – and a truck driver himself. He works at Kingaroy Quarry Supplies (he says his boss Liam is a top fella to work for!) delivering roadbase, aggregates and sand in a Western Star powered by a C-13 Cat with an 18-speed gearbox. Rack’s wife Selena gave the truck the nickname “Rock Star”, because what else would you call a Star that carts rocks 🤩
Why is Wave to a Truckie important to Rack? He says when his day is not going great, just a wave and a smile makes it worthwhile, and it’s not that hard to do.
So if you see “Rock Star” out on the road, be sure to give Rack a wave 👋😊
