In the News
For over a century Australians have fought in conflict and peace operations around the world, protecting values of freedom and democracy. Our national spirit of remembrance has found a home on Anzac Day which marks that brave and fateful moment in 1915 when 16,000 Australian and New Zealand troops landed half a world away, on the shores of Gallipoli. That spirit was replicated on the Western Front and subsequent conflicts such as World War II, the Korean and Vietnam wars, Afghanistan, and our global peacekeeping missions.
It was wonderful to recently attend the Castle Hill and District RSL sub-Branch ANZAC Sunday Luncheon.

Cameron is a local resident of Mitchell who is taking the athletics world by storm.
Cameron has received local sporting grants which assisted him to compete in competitions all over the country.
He competed in the Australian All Schools Track and Field Championships in WA last year. He came first in the U15 steeplechase and smashed the standing record by 11 seconds.
What a champion!
On behalf of our community, I wish Cameron the best of luck for his future athletics career.
