Community Celebration To Feature Former Brisbane Bronco

Shane Webcke will be in the Sarina region this June, sharing the highs and lows of his illustrious career on the football field (including the Brisbane Broncos!), and of his life now as a farmer, family man, businessman, author, news presenter and guest speaker.

At the peak of his rugby league career, Shane was renowned as one of the best front rowers in the world. He represented Queensland on 24 occasions and represented Australia in 26 tests. He played for the Brisbane Broncos for 12 years and was named the Daly M Prop of the Year three times.

Shane swears he is “still a Bronco through and through”, having taken his work ethic from the football field to his farm in Southern Queensland, where he balances family life with his wife and three children, alongside his professional career behind the news desk at Seven.

Appearing as the keynote speaker for Community Bank Sarina Bendigo Bank’s community dinner to celebrate 19 years in business on June 8, Shane will share his knowledge, passion, and experience, and how resilience and sense of community have been shaped by personal loss and hardship.

Having tragically lost his father in a workplace incident when he was just 18, this experience instilled Shane with the importance of developing personal resilience.

“I had just started my professional football career when the news (of my father’s passing) meant my world had been ripped apart.”

“I share my passion and experience with many audiences across Queensland and Australia, in the hope it will motivate others,” Mr. Webcke said.

Don’t miss this opportunity to see Shane Webcke in person at the Celebration of Community Anniversary Dinner, tickets close May 12 – visit bit.ly/communitydinner2024 to book today.
