But did you know that Harley is one of Hinchinbrook Life Newspaper’s new distributors?
We caught up with Harley as he was preparing for his new role, and he said he is excited to get started.
Harley loves talking to everybody in town, stopping for friendly conversations, and it is credentials like these that made him a perfect candidate for the newspaper delivery job.
As a local, Harley said he is looking forward to reading Hinchinbrook Life Newspaper and that he is eager to read a newspaper that contains news from the Hinchinbrook region.
Having extremely good social skills is something that Harley already has, but distributing this paper will allow him to further those skills.

Harley is extremely excited for his new job, if you see him around town be sure to say hello to him and pick up a copy of the brand-new Hinchinbrook Life newspaper while you are at it.
