April 25, 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thousands of South Burnett residents gathered in towns and villages throughout the region today to mark Anzac Day.<\/p>\n

Dawn services were held in Kingaroy, Nanango, Blackbutt, Wondai, Proston and Goomeri. Marches were also well-attended.<\/p>\n

Nanango’s<\/strong> 9:30am march along Drayton Street to the Memorial featured children from St Patrick’s Catholic School and Nanango State School as well as a strong contingent of returned servicemen, including many Vietnam Veterans who marched behind their own banner. A surprise was a low pass over the parade by an RAAF Hornet on its way to the commemorations at Wondai.<\/p>\n

In Kingaroy<\/strong>, students from St Mary’s Catholic College riding club led the 11:00am march, followed by service personnel, schoolchildren, marchers and veterans in vintage vehicles. An historic Warbird saluted the occasion with a flyover of the parade.<\/p>\n

Guest speaker – and Master of Ceremonies – in Kingaroy was retiring South Burnett Regional Mayor David Carter in one of his last official duties.<\/p>\n

In Murgon<\/strong>, a good crowd turned up to listen to guest speaker, retired Lieutenant-Colonel John Onglay. \u00a0 Cherbourg police rangers also joined in the march as well as students from St Joseph’s Catholic School.<\/p>\n

Wondai’s<\/strong> Anzac Day celebrations were also very well-attended, with many schoolchildren and supporters turning out. Guest speaker was retired Major Peter Coombes. A low – and very fast – pass over Mackenzie Street by the RAAF Hornet thrilled the crowd.<\/p>\n

Guest speaker at the Wooroolin<\/strong>\u00a0ceremony was Deputy Mayor Cr Keith Campbell who spoke to a crowd of about 120.<\/p>\n
