Fourteen students from Shalom College and Bundaberg State High School this week started practical placements at The Friendlies as part of their Certificate III course in Health Service Assistance.
Several upgrades and road projects in the Bundaberg Region were completed throughout June, including the Avoca/Duffy Street intersection and Dunn Street/Hussey Road pedestrian refuge.
A record 374 people were helped by the Bundaberg RACQ LifeFlight Rescue helicopter crew last financial year, outstripping their previous record of assisting 306 people.
Locals and visitors alike are more than happy to be flying Bonza with the 36 flights to/from Bundaberg to Melbourne well-supported since the new airline launched in May.
