This week, you’re looking for adventure. You have the chance to travel but also to be a trail blazer metaphorically. As Tolkien said ‘The Road goes ever on and on Out from the door where it began. Now far ahead the Road has gone, Let others follow it who can!’’.

Dec 22 - Jan 19 apr 20 - may 20

This week, you’re ready to take on challenges. You could have a realisation about your routines (or lack thereof) that are causing issues in your life. Now is a great time to make small changes that will have lasting effects. You could feel connection to your family line.

This week, you’re making new plans for something great. You could be ready to completely transform your finances, maybe that recent spending spree is making you re-evaluate your methods for attaining that long term goal. Later in the week, you’ll be extra lucky.

JUL 23 - AUG 22

This week, you’re getting a helping hand. When you need help you will find a friend ready to step up. This is a time to allow someone to see that you have vulnerable moments. You will find your friendship strengthened by this. You might see the big picture oct 23 - nov 21

This week, you’re inspired to take the road to wealth. You might be quite focused on creating some passive income. This interest could change the way you spend money as well and your attitude about finances in general. It’s a great time to take a long term view.

Aug 23 -Sep 22 nov 22 - dec 21

This week, you’re stepping into the sunlight. You might generally keep a low profile but maybe it’s a good time to step out and be noticed. Change is difficult but worth it. Good things can’t find you if you’re hiding from them. Whatever that looks like, find the joy.

This week, someone could rock your world. Chemistry between you and someone new could lead to learning lessons that have been many years in the making. Many possibilities for inner growth, it’s time to begin applying what you know and learn more.

Feb 19 - Mar 20

This week, you’re breaking free of a family pattern. You could recognise that you can go a different way than your parents did. You’re realising that you’ve done so much in the past just to please others, it’s time to make your own way. You will be supported completely.

John Albert

George Brooks

15.10.1941 to 28.03.2023

We are sad to communicate the passing of John Brooks, formerly of Morrish Road, Julatten, North Queensland.

John was loving Husband to Esther, supportive Father to Robert and George and proud Grandfather of Joe and Luka.

A hard working humble man with many loyal friends, he had a full life and was enjoying his retirement years on the family farm in Julatten. Health became his biggest challenge in recent years, and it finally beat him. John’s last wishes were simply “please no public funeral, no flowers and no fuss”.

The family is focusing on the future and maintaining the legacy of the Julatten farm, which he shared with his Wife for over four decades.

He had a great life and to honour his memory, please take a minute to recall one of the happy times you shared with John.
