Well what an amazing long weekend it has been here in North Queensland!
This year Townsville and surrounding communities hosted the North Queensland Games which involved over 4,000 participants in 40 different sports, some from far away, remote areas of the country.
What a great boost for our local businesses and a fantastic opportunity for competitors of many different disciplines to test themselves and get their names out there.
I was honoured to take part in filming the opening ceremony, 9 sporting events, the community concert and the closing ceremony, as well as being responsible for the video editing.
I have a couple more events left to film over the coming weeks as well as the official NQ Games Promotional Video to put together.
Here is the current video, hot off today's 'press', for the screen at the Closing Ceremony.
Thank you to the photography team lead by CLIX Pix for helping to grab some video footage at the events I couldn't make it to.
Thank you to the NQ Games staff for organising and running the event, as well as volunteers and sponsors for ensuring everyone was cared for.
Also thank you to our MC Glenn Minty Mintern and the NQ Games Ambassador Matty Bowen for getting the message of NQ Games to our communities.
