On Saturday morning, as the sun rose over Wurrumiyanga, our community gathered in the quiet stillness for a deeply moving Tiwi Dawn Service.

It was a powerful time of reflection and remembrance as we came together to honour the incredible service and sacrifice of those who have served our nation. To see so many faces joined in respect made for a truly meaningful ceremony.

With Sincere Gratitude
We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to:

The Organisers & Helpers: To everyone who worked behind the scenes to coordinate the service—your hard work ensured a respectful and seamless morning.

The Community: Thank you to everyone who attended. Your presence and support are what make this day so significant for our islands.

Mavis Kerinaiua: A special thank you to Mavis for joining us and sharing copies of her meaningful book, Tiwi War Hero. Preserving our local history and the stories of Tiwi service is a gift to us all.

We carry the stories of the past in our hearts.

Lest we forget.
