Nick was a Sgt at Taree whilst I was at Forster. He also lived in Forster. Worked with him several times over the years. He did at one stage become President of the Forster RSL. He had the gift of the gab, and loved to talk on a microphone, so much so, that we used to say if there was one within cooeee of him he would end up on it. There was 1 time I will never forget. I was at a fatal accident out of town on the way to Taree, (driver had a medical episode) hit a tree in a paddock. I saw Nick stride over (on his way to work) and said, “Everything under control here Constable?” I replied that the driver was deceased and without hesitating, turned on his heels and started to walk away, saying “You can handle that, I better get to work.” He was one of a kind, good bloke. R I P Nick.

18 AWARDS MADE FOR BRAVE CONDUCT
Drowned rescuer earns medal
Mr Daniel Primmer, who drowned after becoming snagged in debris while trying to rescue a woman trapped by flood waters in Reedy Creek, ACT, on March 20 last year, has been awarded a Bravery Medal posthumously.
Mr Primmer was one of six people to be awarded the Bravery Medal for their part in rescuing the woman.
Altogether, 18 awards for bravery were announced yesterday by the Governor-General, Sir Zelman Cowen, on recommendations made to him by the Australian Decorations Advisory Committee. Thirteen Bravery Medals and five Commendations for Brave Conduct were awarded.
The rescue attempt at Reedy Creek took place where the stream crosses Sutton Road, near Queanbeyan.
A car driven by Mrs Rosanna Perry, 33, of Bungendore, was swept off a bridge by the flood waters.
Mr Primmer and a companion, Mr John Henjack, who also has been awarded the Bravery Medal, tied themselves with rope secured to a guide post and held by five men, and attempted to swim to the woman.
The two were swept away before they could reach her, and although Mr. Henjack was pulled to safety, Mr Primmer became snagged in debris, and drowned.
Sergeant Alwyne Hill and Senior Constable Robert Burrage, of the NSW Police, who were also involved in the rescue attempt, have been awarded Bravery Medals. With other police officers, they made three attempts to reach the stranded woman, using a rope, which failed, and then made several attempts to swim to her.
Mr Robert Perrott, of Bungendore, who also entered the flood waters but was swept away and managed to reach the bank downstream, has also been awarded the Bravery Medal.
Senior Constable Brian Bock, of the ACT Police, received a Commendation for Brave Conduct in the rescue attempt. He took charge of a NSW Emergency Service boat which eventually he manoeuvred close enough to rescue the woman.
Mr Ronald Scott, Mr Graham MacDonald and Mr Kenneth Beazley, all of Malua Bay, NSW, were each awarded a Bravery Medal for their actions during the successful rescue of three people stranded on a rocky outcrop after they had lost their boat in heavy seas.
On September 18, 1977, the three rescuers had put to sea from Guerilla Bay, and in the face of a souther’y gale reached the three people whose boat had become disabled, been washed up on the rocks and destroyed.
Mr MacDonald had jumped from the rescue boat, and persuaded the stranded people to swim to the boat, where they were all picked up and returned safely to shore.
Mr Scott, the owner of the rescue boat, was praised for his handling of the boat. Mr Beazley’s award said that “in taking part in a sea rescue in such hazardous conditions” he had displayed considerablecourage.
The Bravery Medal, for an act of bravery in hazardous circumstances, was awarded to:

The above is the current ( pre May 2023 ) template that I use to record the Passing of our brothers / sisters in Blue.
The reason for this particular Post is to give you the opportunity to fill out your details before we all fall off our perch – which would save me and incredible amount of time from having to research your details for a Memorial Post in the future.
On average it takes me around 6 – 8 hours to research, record and update each and every Memorial Post.
By filling out these details, and forwarding them onto me, I can pre-fill the templates and keep them on record.
Obviously, the fields that don’t relate to yourself – can be left blank or crossed out.
I am also opening the door for you to send me any relevant photos of your time in Policing ( or even outside of Policing ) that you would like to eventually share on your Memorial Post. This is NOT just for NSW but ANY in Australian.
I am also open to you recording ( either video / verbally ( audio recording ) / or text ) any last words you may wish to say upon your Passing. Perhaps a final message to family and friends. A voice from the past. The door is open for you to have recorded what You want recorded for History and future Family ( whether that be Blood family or Policing Family ).
YOU have so much History to share. Don’t take it to the grave with you.
Is there anything you would like to see placed upon these Memorial Posts?
What other information would you like to see recorded?
How can these Memorial Posts be presented better?
It has been suggested that ( in previous Memorials ) there are too many red question marks.
The reason behind those red question marks is that I simply don’t know the information or have not Verified that piece of information and the red question mark is presented so that others, who may know, can offer up that information so that the Memorial Post can be further enhanced. To do this, you only need to send me an email. At the present time, the information can not be updated by others. I am looking into this as I look towards upgrading and updating the website.
If I know that you don’t qualify for a certain area ( not everyone makes it to Sergeant or above etc ) then I can simply remove those areas in order to ‘tidy up’ your Memorial.
Remember, I can only obtain a lot of this information with the assistance of yourself, friends, family or collegues.
If you do decide to take advantage of this offer, simply print out the above template, fill in as much detail as you can and forward it to me at Cal@AustralianPolice.com.au
I have numerous resources at my disposal but not all the answers and look forward to you helping me to help you.
For those that don’t know me:
I was a member of the NSWPF between 1975 to 2003 ( # 17463 ) and attached to Fairfield GDs, Four Wheels, Cabramatta GDs, Wollongong GDs, Warilla HWP, Wollongong HWP, South Region Command – Hurstville, Sutherland HWP ( on their roster only – whilst I worked out of South Region Command ), Warilla GDs, Pt Kembla GDs, Warilla GDs.
I have owned www.AustralianPolice.com.au for 21 years ( which also pre-dates Facebook ).
and all other ( States/Territories of Australia ) Fallen Police FB Groups. Simply change NSW with Queensland, Victoria, Tasmania, AFP, ACT, SouthAustralia / NorthernTerritory / WesternAustralia
I have dedicated the website to our Fallen Brothers and Sisters – no matter what State / Territory you Served. No matter how long you Served. No matter why / how you finished Serving. No matter if you Pass On or Off Duty or in Retirement etc. I also Honour those who worked alongside of, or for us, such as General Support Officers, Volunteers In Policing, Civilian Support staff etc.

STEPHEN is NOT mentioned on the Police Wall of Remembrance *NEED MORE INFO
FURTHER INFORMATION IS NEEDED ABOUT THIS PERSON, THEIR LIFE, THEIR CAREER AND THEIR DEATH.
STEPHEN Bromhead, member for the state electorate of Myall Lakes, sadly passed away on Thursday 16 March after a battle with mesothelioma.
The Hon. Stephen Bromhead served for the last twelve years in the Myall State electorate.
Mr Bromhead, who had been the Member for Myall Lakes since 2011, had earlier announced his retirement ahead of the forthcoming State election due to ill health.
During his time in the NSW Parliament he served as the Nationals Whip, Parliamentary Secretary for Regional Transport and Roads and the Parliamentary Secretary for Regional Housing.
He was the President of the NSW Parliamentary Lions Club and served on a number of parliamentary committees.
This was in addition to the many roles he held in previous public life as a nurse, police officer, local government councillor and solicitor to name but a few.
Many past and present staff as well as local dignitaries have expressed their best wishes at his passing.
MidCoast Council Mayor Claire Pontin expressed her condolences at the passing of Mr Stephen Bromhead MP.
Flags at Council’s Administration and Customer Service Centre, Yalawanyi Ganya, Taree were flown at half-mast last Friday as a mark of respect.
“Mr Bromhead was a strong advocate for the MidCoast community during his term and is responsible for the allocation of funds to many community projects and facilities in our region,” said Mayor Pontin.
The Deputy Premier of NSW the Hon. Paul Toole also expressed his deepest sympathies.
“Yesterday I lost a colleague and a mate – and the people of Myall Lakes lost one of their most passionate advocates,” said Mr Toole.
“Stephen Bromhead devoted a lifetime to serving his community; as a registered nurse and police officer, as a volunteer firefighter and in his almost twelve years as the Member for Myall Lakes.
“Especially, Mr Bromhead was passionate over many years to bring better services to his electorate.
“No one has fought harder to ensure the people of Myall Lakes get the health services they deserve and his death will be felt throughout the community.
“In Taree, where they’ll remember his fight to upgrade Manning Base Hospital.
“In Forster, where his legacy will be a public hospital, and in Old Bar, where we’re building a new ambulance station,” said Mr Toole.
In his last speech to parliament when it came time to say his goodbyes last year, rather than just listing his many achievements, he used it to say thank you for the privilege of being able to serve.
“It’s testament to the character of Brommy,” said Mr Toole.
“He set a shining example as someone who fought passionately for what mattered to his community and when that fight was won, went straight into battle on the next issue.”
Tributes flow for NSW Nationals MP Stephen Bromhead who lost his battle with cancer aged 66
The long-serving Nationals MP died aged 66 after being diagnosed with mesothelioma last August.

Nationals member for New South Wales’ Myall Lakes Stephen Bromhead has died aged 66 following a battle with cancer.
The long-serving MP announced his retirement from politics last August after he was diagnosed with mesothelioma, a rare form of cancer caused by inhaling asbestos particles.
Mr Bromhead had represented the Mid North Coast electorate since 2011 and was highly respected in the Nationals.

His death was announced on Friday, just 10 days before what would have been the 12-year anniversary of his election as representative of Myall Lakes.
Tributes for Mr Bromhead were led by NSW Nationals leader and Deputy NSW Premier Paul Toole.
Affectionately referring to the late Mr Bromhead as “Brommy”, Mr Toole said he had lost both a “colleague and a mate.”
“Brommy, like me, was part of the class of Nats MPs who entered Parliament in 2011 determined to make a difference,” he said on Friday.
“He did not disappoint.
“No one has fought harder to ensure the people of Myall Lakes get the health services they deserve and his death will be felt throughout the community.
“In Taree, where they’ll remember his fight to upgrade Manning Base Hospital. In Forster, where his legacy will be a public hospital. And in Old Bar, where we’re building a new ambulance station.”
Mr Toole also praised his late friend’s humility saying it was a “testament to the character of Brommy that when it came time to say his goodbyes to the Parliament last year that rather than just list his many achievements, he used it to say thank you for the privilege of being able to serve.”
NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet said Mr Bromhead was the “quintessential Nationals member” who had dedicated himself to making sure regional NSW got its fair share.
“Stephen was a highly respected and valued member of Parliament. In the party-room and in the chamber, he always brought colour and life,” he said.
“Given his early career in health, it is fitting that Stephen’s great legacy can be seen in the major upgrades to health facilities he delivered for his community, among many other important achievements.”

Mr Bromhead’s federal counterpart Lyne MP David Gillespie remembered him as a “gentle giant” who provided guidance when they first met during the 2010 national election campaign.
“I met him on the hustings, he was a great help, a true friend and he stood by his principles,” he said.
Labor leader Chris Minns said the passing of Mr Bromhead was deeply saddening.
“I want to pass on the commiserations of myself and NSW Labor not just to Stephen’s family including his wife Sue, but to the community he worked so hard for and loved so much,” he said.
Mr Bromhead, who died on Thursday, is survived by his wife Sue and their seven children.

NSW Nationals MP Stephen Bromhead, 66, died on Thursday after a brave battle with killer mesothelioma.
The state member for Myall Lakes, north of Newcastle, announced in August he would be standing down at this month’s state election to focus on his health.
The rare cancer is normally associated with the asbestos industry and is linked to ingesting or breathing in asbestos fibres.
‘Somewhere in my background I’ve come into contact with fibro,’ he revealed last year.
In his valedictory speech in Parliament, he added: ‘I do not want anyone to think that this is a case of someone who is tired, does not want to be a local member, and is giving up.
‘It is simply the case that I have been diagnosed with mesothelioma, which means I cannot put 100 per cent into the job.’
NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet revealed the awful moment the former Nationals whip revealed his devastating illness.
‘When Stephen first shared the news of his diagnosis, it came as a huge shock to all of us,’ he admitted.
‘Stephen’s grace and strength over the past year has been an inspiration to so many, and I know he has served as an extraordinary mentor to many Nationals members and to his staff over that time and throughout his career.’
The former nurse and detective – who served in the NSW Parliament for 12 years – is survived by his wife Sue and their seven children.
‘Stephen was the quintessential Nationals member, dedicated wholly to making sure the people of Myall Lakes – and all of regional NSW – got their fair share,’ said the premier
‘While he was naturally a warm and welcoming person, as the Nationals’ Whip Stephen made good use of the fearsome tenacity learned in his former career as a detective.
‘Stephen was a highly respected and valued member of Parliament. In the party-room and in the chamber, he always brought colour and life.’
Mr Bromhead was renowned for fighting for improved health facilities in his area which will be his lasting legacy to voters, said the premier.
‘Given his early career in health, it is fitting that Stephen’s great legacy can be seen in the major upgrades to health facilities he delivered for his community, among many other important achievements,’ he said.
‘The Manning Base Hospital redevelopment, a new ambulance station at Forster and construction of one underway at Old Bar, and a commitment to deliver a public hospital for the Forster community mean Stephen’s contribution will continue to have a positive impact on the Myall Lakes community for many decades to come.
‘Stephen leaves a proud and lasting legacy: a credit to the man and to his dedication to the people of Myall Lakes right to the end.
‘Stephen will be dearly missed, and we wish his wife Sue and his family and friends every comfort at this difficult time.’

T.

Elwyn Thomas McDougall, 22, labourer, was sentenced at Newcastle Court yesterday to one month‘s imprisonment for having unlawfully assaulted Police Cadet Alan John Brown, in Newcastle on Saturday.
Constable R. Gaudion said Cadet Brown was walking along Hunter-street when McDougall and another man stepped across his path and asked him whether he wanted to fight.
Cadet Brown replied that he did not, and went to walk away, when McDougall hit him in the nose.
McDougall was arrested 15 minutes later.
The police prosecutor ( Sergeant Lithgow ) said McDougall had previous convictions for larceny and breaking, entering and stealing.
After Mr. Hardwicke, SM., had sentenced McDougall, McDougall asked the Magistrate whether he could have a fine. Mr. Hardwicke said: “Because of the way you conduct yourself in the street, you will have to learn a lesson.”
