Townsville locals have been called into action to help fight against a national threat – with the week-long Great Cane Toad Bust kicking off this weekend across Australia.   Magnetic Island Nature Conservation Association (MINCA) and Canoe Projects have teamed up to form the Maggie Toad Busters group .    The organisations are leading toad-busting charge on the Island thanks in part to funding secured through the Queensland Government’s Gambling Community Benefit Fund grant.

Tomorrow from 5 pm there will be Cassie’s wonderful, tasty Thai food at the RSL and the bar will be open, until 8pm with THE MOST ECONOMICAL BAR DRINKS ON THE ISLAND* Cassie’s wide range of tasty entrees and main courses means there is something for everyone. Get in for dining and sipping under the stars while the weather is still glorious! And you can dine inside in the air-conditioned Hall, or outside under the lights while enjoying some music. No need to book, just turn up
