Be prepared to get hit in the face with spectacular colour and all the latest local news about the Port Douglas Carnivale, including the huge Savannah Sounds Port Douglas program this weekend when you pick up your free Newsport Daily Print edition from today.

Featuring headline act Sheppard on the front page and filled with four pages of Port Douglas Carnivale news, the print edition is your guide to entertainment and community events for Carnivale.

Read up on the artists performing across the three days of Savannah Sounds Port Douglas, which Newsport has played a significant part in making happen as the major sponsor, and work out your schedule of entertainment for what promises to be a highlight of our Carnivale.

And, as always, there is plenty of news outside of the biggest event for the Douglas Shire, and Newsport Daily Print has it covered.

Sticking with the entertainment theme, Port Shorts Film Festival is on the rise, and we’ve packed a page full of social pictures, while the sport section also has its share of colour and hard hitting entertainment to offer.

In other news, find out just what is happening with the egg shortage for the region, what is going on with car registration prices and the latest news on the Mossman Mill sale process.

We pay tribute to much loved police officer and mountain bike guru Frank Falappi who was killed in a mountain biking accident with an article and share some of the reader comments about the former Mt Molloy cop in our letters page.
