National Police Remembrance Day
BILOELA
Biloela held its second National Police
Remembrance Day service at the
Callide Valley Anglican Church.
Prior to the service, officers past
and present from Biloela, Moura,
Theodore, and Baralaba marched
through the town, together with
Acting Chief Superintendent Ron Van
Saane representing Central Police
Region, Inspector Les Bulluss of
Gladstone Police District, and returned
servicemen from Biloela and Wowan.
A moving service was conducted
by the Reverend Des Potter, Police
Chaplain for the Callide Valley, during
which wreaths were laid and candles
lit for the brave men and women who
have fallen in the line of duty.
The church was filled with people
paying their respects, which included
Deputy Premier Jeff Seeney and
Banana Shire Mayor Ron Carige.
The day was heralded a great success
by the community, who turned out
to watch the march and showed their
support at the service with $830 raised
for Police Legacy.
