The team at Bowen Tourism and Business is looking forward to continuing to promote the town and the greater Whitsundays region in 2025.
The team of staff and dedicated volunteers welcomed more than 50,000 at the Bowen Visitor Information Centre in 2024 – another record year.
Behind the scenes, the team promotes the region in various ways through mainstream and social media channels.
For the past three years, the Manager of the organisation, Leanne Abernethy has been the Whitsundays correspondent on ABC Tropical North, speaking to Breakfast presenter Meech Philpott every week about what is happening around our region.
Meech finished in that role in December after many years of early mornings.
ABC Tropical North has now welcomed Rob Kidd as the new Breakfast presenter in 2025.
Leanne will continue to be the Whitsundays correspondent, having a chat on radio every Thursday.
She took the opportunity over the Christmas and New Year period to catch up with the ABC team in Mackay and is looking forward to working with them again in 2025.
“It was great to catch up with the team as we usually only chat by phone,” Leanne said.
The segment is on Thursday mornings at 9.10am for about six minutes and mentions news and events from Bowen, Collinsville, Airlie Beach and Proserpine.
You can tune in to ABC Tropical North at 101.1 FM or listen in on the ABC App.
