Last Saturday evening my son and I attended the charity event at Hamilton Hall for Little Haven Palliative Care and the Gympie Regional Smarter Choices Program.
Headlining the event was the enigmatic Wayne Bennett (pictured at the function) who League fans would have noted was coaching the NZ test team on Friday night, attended Broncos training on Saturday and still had the compassion and commitment to drive two hours to Gympie, to promote a charity.
He then had to drive back to Brisbane that night to coach the Broncos on Sunday.
Wayne endured the inevitable photo session and autograph hunting then engaged in an informative and witty, question and answer session before announcing the Gympie district Rugby League team of the century. 
Before leaving the hall for the long drive back to Brissie he then addressed the crowd with a moving, thoughtful appeal for us all to get involved in community support programs, be they junior sport, palliative care or anything that helps our community and neighbours.
I think Wayne impressed all who attended with his calm, reserved, demeanour that obviously masks great intelligence and a mind that never stops racing with ideas Dare I say it,”still waters run deep”.
