Explosive things are happening across our beautiful Far North Queensland 🔆🔆🔆

This morning, intelligent conversations, information sharing, and collaborative ideas filled the room at HM’s Biri Bana Connect Sip & Yarn networking gathering. As the coffees started flowing, the conversations got stronger.

There is always magic that happens when First Nations businesses come together, but what’s even more inspiring is what happens after events like this happen. Connections create opportunities, ideas turn into action, and collaborations grow stronger 👣

A huge thank you to all the businesses and community members who came down to be part of the Sip & Yarn event. Big shout out to Coffee Buoy Cairns Cafe, Corporate Towers Lake street Cairns, amazing coffee ☕️

These are the moments that quickly remind us of the WHY behind what we do. Every now and then, we cross paths with young men and women we haven’t seen since their teenage years. Seeing young adults thriving is something truly special 🔆

Meet John Bon, now a young man working full-time with Tide & Time Transport, helping make travel between Horn Island and Thursday Island a breeze.

John was once a youngster living in Cairns who consistently attended every Harbrow Mentoring program over a five-year period as a teenager. To now see him living life with a big smile on his face, working hard and creating his own pathway, is something we are incredibly proud of.

Director Marc Harbrow had the opportunity to catch up with John during travels. Outstanding achievement by this fine young man. Keep shining John 💫 💫 💫
