Christmas came early for the winners of the Reid Highway Swan Mountain Bike Competition! The stylish new mountain bikes were presented to the winners by Reid Highway Extension Project Manager Phil Barker at the site on Wednesday, December 16 2009.

State slalom kayak champion Harri Whitlock, aged 12, heard about his win during his last week as a student at Midland Christian School. Harri joins Swan Christian College  in February and he plans to use the bicycle to help pump up his training for the national slalom kayak championship in 2010. 

The second winner is seven-year-old Anshia Oudtshoorn, also from Midland Christian School which becomes part of Swan Christian College in 2010.

The winners successfully answered three questions on the Macmahon website www.reidhwyswan.com.au after reading the last issue of the newsletter. Mr Barker said the competition demonstrated that Macmahon contributed to and engaged with the communities in which they operate.
