UPDATE 12.30pm
The 25th anniversary of its first rescue, today should be a celebration for the Capricorn Rescue Helicopter Service.
It should be an opportunity to reflect on the monumental support shown by the Central Queensland community since the inception of the Service.
However, the Service has lost its crucial link to the public in the wake of this morning’s Facebook bans.
“The ripple effect has too been felt by not-for-profit organisations, including RACQ Capricorn Rescue as the social media platform shuts down all not-for-profits pages in the process,” a spokesperson said.
”(As we rely) on these channels of publication to inform the community and ask for support on community events and fundraising initiatives, the closure of the Service’s Facebook page is detrimental to the organisation.”

On Monday, an empty aluminium boat floating off Keppel Sands was the trigger for a search for a possible missing occupant.
At 3.58pm Keppel Sands Coast Guard was contacted by Yeppoon Coast Guard, advising that a member of the public had reported a vessel drifting fast in the strong winds.
The vessel appeared to have come from Cooroman Creek and was drifting across the front of Keppel Sands. There was no sign of an occupant.
