Highlights
Townsville City Council Sports Awards
The Townsville Sports Awards, proudly sponsored by Clean It NQ, were held on Wednesday 18 April. Townsville City Council Sports Awards recognise the acheivements of amatuer Townsville athletes, coaches and officials that have represented Queensland or Australia at the National and/or International level. The awards also recognise Townsville teams that have achieved at the highest level and the invaluable contribution of volunteers.
ANZAC Day
Australians recognise 25 April as an occasion of national remembrance, which takes two forms. Commemorative services are held at dawn across the nation, while later in the day, ex-servicemen and women meet to take part in marches through the major cities and in many smaller centres. Townsville marked the occasion with dawn services held at Thuringowa and ANZAC Park, followed by a parade along the Strand.
Together Townsville would like to thank Mount Franklin for generously providing water for those participating.
