The organising committee of the Cambooya Australia Day celebrations could not split the outstanding community efforts of Rohan Greer and Christopher Collins, both receiving the Citizen of the Year award.

The awards were presented during celebrations held at the Cambooya Recreation Reserve.

Rohan Greer is a well-respected and active volunteer in the community, who has made a significant contribution to the Cambooya Rural Fire Brigade over the past 15 years.

Chris Collins is recognised in the community as a selfless volunteer, who has contributed countless hours to various organisations over many years.

Chris joined the Wyreema Community Hall as a committee member eight years ago and has served as President for the past six years.

In that role, Chris applies for multiple grants throughout the year and organises and/or completes most of the hall’s maintenance.

Rohan joined the Cambooya Rural Fire Brigade in 2007 as a 16-year-old and at 17 became the youngest person to hold an executive position when he became Secretary.

He retains that position today.
