A rousing Dawn Service speech by Burdekin MP Dale Last brought the ANZAC Day message to life for the community of Bowen this morning.
Focusing on the story of âforgottenâ Indigenous north Queensland Digger Charlie Blackman, who until recently was buried in an unmarked grave, the speech brought the âLest We Forgetâ message down to a more personal level for the 500-strong crowd.

Not least because the Whitsunday community played a key role in ensuring Lance Corporal Blackman got the respect and recognition he deserved, Mr Last explained, including the awarding of medals and the erection of a headstone at Charters Towers some 50 years after he died.
