50th anniversary of Island airstrip

This September marks the 50th anniversary of our Island's airstrip, a pivotal moment in our history. 

We are honoured to have 16 Army and Navy veterans who played a crucial role in the airstrip construction visiting the Island with their families for the events. 

A series of special events will take place starting from Tuesday 10 September 2024. 

Please join us in celebrating and welcoming the veterans and their families for this significant occasion. Further details of events to come.
