GC MEDIA AWARDS – THE ‘MACCAS’ QT Resort, Surfers Paradise

LOCAL media circles converged on QT Gold Coast in Surfers Paradise on Saturday night for the annual Gold Coast Media Awards; aka the Maccas. A multitude of categories and lots of happy winners made for a great night. The Big MACCA, named in honour of the late, great Neil Mackenzie, went to Wayne ‘Snakehips’ Hickson for his many years of devoted service to media in general and the numerous community groups who have benefited from his words and actions.
