CATHY de Jong wants to bring aqua aerobics to more people.

Ms de Jong said it was time to take the exercise to more venues in the Mackay and surrounding areas.

"I have spread my wings and gone regional as there is a real lack of services and in some cases a lack of venues," Ms de Jong said.

"I am now running aqua classes in Sarina to which I am getting such a great response; I have added a second class on Tuesdays much to the joy of the participants."

She is also getting a good response to new tranquil yoga classes in Walkerston at Wests Leagues Club.

"I have also added a second class out there due to a high demand," she said.

"Both the aqua fitness and yoga have been attracting 30-40 participants per class with all of them enjoying the benefits, and I am getting great feedback from individual clients all the time about both their physical and mental health."

The changes to her routine have also come about because of the lack of facilities in the Northern Beaches area.

"After losing the use of the Dolphin Heads Pool due to body corporate issues, I was unable to find a suitable venue out there so I'm running classes at Pioneer Swim Centre on Monday and Wednesday evenings," she said.

AFP Vietnam spots possible wreckage from Malaysian plane

Bangkok (AFP) - Thai police said Sunday they were investigating a "passport ring" as details emerged of bookings made in Thailand with stolen European passports for the vanished Malaysia Airlines flight.

Two European names -- Christian Kozel, an Austrian, and Luigi Maraldi of Italy -- were listed on the passenger manifest of the flight MH370, but neither man boarded the plane, officials said.

Both had their passports stolen in Thailand over the past two years.

Malaysia has launched a terror probe investigating the suspect passengers and the United States has sent in the FBI to assist.

Flight information seen by AFP shows that tickets were booked in Maraldi and Kozel's names on March 6, 2014, and issued in the Thai city of Pattaya, a popular beach resort south of the capital Bangkok.

The e-ticket numbers for their flights are consecutive and both were paid for in Thai baht.

Each ticket cost THB 20,215 (US$625).
