The Cannonvale Cenotaph came alive through the break of dawn last Thursday when 4000 people converged on the grassy banks to say thank you to the men and women who have given their lives to protect the freedoms we enjoy today.
With a population of 7,432 according to the Bureau of Statistics Census of 2021, this incredible figure means that over half the population of the Greater Airlie Beach area got out of bed that morning to attend the Dawn Service.
