TWIN-TASTIC

YOU could have been forgiven for thinking you were seeing double at Mareeba State School last Tuesday when five sets of identical twins – all boys – began their first year of education.


Four sets of twins started at Mareeba Primary School earlier last week.

They were all cheeky smiles on day one, as they joined 43,000 Queenslanders who started their first day in Prep.

Pictured in a mirror image are Beau and Jack (far left and far right), Leo and Lirim beside them, Philip and Ivan in yellow shirts and Antonio and Mateo (in the middle). Zekial and Camden were not available. 

The school appears to be a twin magnet. In 2014, another five sets of twins started at the school. They joined seven sets of twins already attending, bringing the twin population to 24 students that year.
