Jennifer Ironside appears at first glance to be a bubbly whirlwind.

She is often dressed in her favourite colour - pink - and it matches her energy and effervescent personality to a tee.

But Jennifer wasn’t always as outgoing as she is today, her journey has been one with a lot of twist and turns.

Since arriving in Canungra only 18 months ago, Julia Schafer has certainly made her mark. The passionate public speaker started Scenic Rim Toastmasters and has also continued sharing her love for sustainable living.

Becky Bell-McNee has a great attitude to life. Here she talks about growing up in the theatre and so much more!

The saying, ‘if you want something done, ask a busy person’, could have been written for Janine Rockliff. She’s a woman who has a busy family, challenging career and at the heart of it all is a great passion for her community.

It sounds like the title of an Australian soap opera, but when David Christensen bought Canungra Valley Medical Centre it felt like he was where he was meant to be. His journey has been from radiographer to bouncer and GP and owner of a country practice.

Well known as the face behind ‘Little Bee & Me’, Alex Griffiths’ previous careers were a huge step away from the native bee and garden shop she loved.  She shares some insights into her time as a police officer with Queensland Police and Taskforce Argos.

Rather embarrassingly, I don't know a lot about indigenous culture and history, especially in the Canungra area.  This is probably reflective of my age and demographic, which is no excuse.  But I want to learn, so I asked Wangerriburra elder, Ken Markwell, to have a yarn with me.

Roshni Shivers is a powerhouse.  Her tiny stature hide a woman who has great strength, both physically and mentally.  She lives to help others achieve their goals, as she has achieved her own.
