Cristy takes the glorious weather in her stride
ALICIA NALLY WITH winter weather southerners can only dream about, dancer Cristy Gelviro is making the most of the region’s long weekend.
Yesterday, the 36-year-old tackled the Douglas Track to take in the panoramic views from the top of Glacier Rock.
“Most weekends are a chance to connect with nature and keep up my fitness – why not, we live in such a beautiful place,” Ms Gelviro said.
Today, Ms Gelviro and her partner will climb Walsh’s Pyramid.
“It’s the fourth time I will have done it,” she said.
“In the beginning it’s hard to get the blood pumping, but then it’s OK.”
The Trinity Park woman is enjoying a staycation at Mantra Trilogy for the weekend.
The sunny conditions will continue today and tomorrow.
A maximum temperature of 27C will be reached today with sunny skies.
The forecast is for a partly cloudy day tomorrow, thought, with a top of 28C. HE’S the anchor of Foxtel’s No 1 talk show and now Paul Murray is writing for you.
On Monday, the Cairns Post will launch a new weekly column from the outspoken host of Paul Murray Live.
He’s chosen to write for this publication because he wants to connect with regional Australia.
“Nearly 13 million people live outside of Sydney and Melbourne, yet most of our national conversation is driven not just by those cities, but by very select groups inside those cities,’’ Murray (above) said.
“I want to celebrate what’s different about this part of Australia and find the bridges that connect us all, regardless of where we live.”
He said he might host a national show, but by writing for the regions his aim was to prove the issues he cared about were what the average Australian was fired up about.
“I’m not one of those people who plans to punch out a weekly manifesto or bore you with gossip dressed up as news.”
Murray’s first column appears in Monday’s Cairns Post.
