Don’t let tyre troubles blow your holiday plans
Have you checked your tyres lately?
Upper Mount Gravatt Police out on patrol this morning stopped to help some nomads in need after the tyre blew out on their campervan along the Gateway motorway.
Figuring it would be quicker, and safer, to change the tyre ourselves, we offered assistance to Ruth and Max.
They happily accepted, and were back on the road in no time to continue on their holiday.
This serves as a reminder for motorists to regularly check the inflation and quality of their tyres, particularly before going on holidays and long drives.
Under-inflation and over-inflation can both cause blowouts, so it is important to be sure your tyres have the right air pressure.
Only a few more stairs
On Friday, July 20, police from South and North Brisbane will ‘Step Up’ against Domestic Violence and run (mostly walk) the River to Rooftop stair climb at 111 Eagle Street Brisbane City.
There are 1040 stairs to be exact which will mean some short term pain but this is nothing compared to some of the situations people and families are dealing with every day.
Stay tuned for some great pictures from the morning.
If you are in Brisbane City that day make sure you come and say hi. Teams will be running from 8am.

Inala Multicultural Youth Day 2018
The Inala PCYC was once again the host of the 7th annual Inala Multicultural Youth Day earlier this week, with a record crowd of over 7,000 attending the event. People of all ages had the chance to enjoy free rides, games, crafts and spectacular performances by several local artists and musicians.
Lines were particularly long for those keen on camel and pony rides, the rock climbing wall, bungee jumping platforms; and for those wanting to test their skills on the dodgem and ATV circuits.
Festivities continued indoors into the recently refurbished PCYC community hall, with stall holders, reptile shows, exotic cuisine, driving simulations, and face painting taking centre stage throughout the day.
One of our Police Liaison Officer Hamza Shale jumped at the opportunity to get his free health check up!
Also getting into the action was Police Liaison Officer Nasra Aden who tested her driving skills through the “Braking the Cycle” Driver Simulator.
