Jo is back this week which means solo reads again for the Sunshine Coast. With Nathan Spurling now on leave, Ned Balme co-anchoring elsewhere and a separate sport presenter is brought in.
The “separate sport reporter brought in” is Luke McGarry, he’s been with 7 Maroocydore for over 10 years and is the regular standin for Nathan.

McGarry has been the 7Queensland Sports reporter across Sunshine Coast and Wide Bay regions and backup Sports presenter for all Queensland regional bulletins for Nathan for the past decade.
As seen on 7NEWS Townsville last night.
Charters Towers stands out in this graphic due to the lack of temperature information.
