MALENY Ambulance Station marked it’s 30 year milestone with a community open day and celebration on Saturday August 24.
Officer in Charge, Cyndi Holmes, said the event was a great way to recognise the current station’s 30 year anniversary, while also acknowledging some of the history and great work of the local ambulance committees that helped fundraise and support the station.
“The current station is located on the old hospital grounds, which relocated to the opposite side of the road,” Ms Holmes explained. “The LAC of the time fund raised and paid for the current station. “They also funded the current residence to be built to replace a small station that was located in Maple Street,” she added.
A historical vehicle and equipment was also on display from the Wynnum ambulance museum, including the vehicle used in filming the hit series ‘Boy Swallows Universe.
