It’s always a pleasure to see young Gippslanders excelling in their chosen field so I was excited to see former Lakes Entrance resident Amy Curnow catching up with her mum and dad on HMAS Choules.

The Choules of course, is part of East Gippsland history now because of its pivotal role in the mass evacuation from Mallacoota after the Black Summer bushfires.

I’ve known Amy since she was a nipper at Surf Lifesaving Lakes Entrance and she always demonstrated leadership, an adventurous spirit and camaraderie amongst her peers.

Amy joined the Navy gap year program and is looking to extend her career as a permanent member of the Australian Defence Force. She’s been on board HMAS Choules as part of the gap year experience.

I’m sure her family, along with all her friends, are proud of Amy’s achievements and wishing her the best as she embarks on her next adventure in the service of our nation.
