Subscriber only The driving force behind the Happy Valley Community Organisation, the creator of a signing choir, an anti-straw campaigner and a historian have been honoured in the Fraser Coast Australia Day Awards. It is an honour to be able to present the awards to such a diverse and hardworking group of recipients, Fraser Coast mayor George Seymour said. The recipients have volunteered thousands of hours of their time to the Fraser Coast community over many years which is one of the reasons our community is so vibrant, resilient and caring. Australia Day is a good opportunity for the community to reflect on the thousands of people who volunteer at the hundreds of organisations, groups and sporting clubs across the region.
