Weipa laser tag excitement
There will be some epic showdowns at the Weipa Storm Surge Shelter over the June-July school holidays.
Weipa Town Authority has announced laser tag will be offered from 30 June-11 July, with 30 sessions planned over the two weeks.
Private clashes are also on the cards, and could be part of the ultimate birthday bash for those celebrating their special day while school’s out.
Keep an eye on the Weipa Aquatic and Sports Precinct Facebook page for the latest laser tag news.

Viv Chan secured a one-stroke win when a big field of 23 golfers teed off in Wackers on 28 May.
Chan and Steve Kennett both returned from the back nine with 42 off the stick, with handicaps handing victory to the former with nett 30, while the latter was the week’s bridesmaid with nett 31.
Pin prizes went to Kennett (15th) and Steve Head (18th).

Crocs bite into Mossman
Cooktown’s junior rugby league stars showed off fancy footwork and impressive ball skills when they travelled to Mossman for their third away round of the 2025 season on 31 May.
Players made the most of the 500-kilometre round trip and demonstrated fantastic sportsmanship as under-6 to U10 teams transformed skills developed at weekly training into game day excitement for those watching and cheering from the sidelines.
The Crocs will host visiting Atherton teams at the John Street Oval on 16 August.
