A worthy cause if you have time to sign their petition 🙂
Memorial for the Centaur:
There is a petition to build a memorial for those nurses killed on the Centaur. We would really appreciate your help by signing the petition. It closes in November. The link is below:

A Memorial is needed in Brisbane to honour those Nurses who died and the sole survivor from the Sinking of the Centaur off Cape Moreton, which is part of the Brisbane City Council area.
Your petitioners therefore request that a Memorial of Trees be planted opposite Canon Garland overpass, mirroring the WWI nurses grove in Anzac Park, Toowong. Anzac Park, Toowong, is Australia's first so-named and so a most suitable site to mark the 85th Anniversary of the Sinking of the Cenatur, which will occur in 2028. Anzac Park has several memorials to WWI. However, in 1992, the Anzac Day Bottletree was transplanted to the site by LM Sallyanne Atkinson; that Bottletree refers to all wars honoured on Anzac Day. More recently, the National Defence Chaplains Memorial Grove was established, honouring all Defence Chaplains who died in the service of their country. We conclude by requesting the planting be complete by the 11th of Novermber 2027, in time for the 85th Anniversary memorial service 14th of May 2028.
