James wins Volunteer of the Year

Watch the interview with James on The Newsport Daily to the left!

Port Douglas resident, James Watson, has been named Volunteer of the Year in the Cairns region at an awards presentation yesterday.

Mr Watson's tireless efforts are well known to locals and his list of contributions to our community are many:

Past Treasurer and President of the Port Douglas Neighbourhood Centre
Community Veggie Garden carer
Senior Scoop reporter and Treasurer of Douglas Shire Seniors Incorporated
Member of Toastmasters, Port Douglas Rotary and Tangaroa Blue Ocean Care Society
Founder of the Port Douglas Parkinsons Support Group
Creator of the stunning Nautilus Street landscape

From everyone at The Newsport Daily, and we're sure on behalf of our readers, we'd like to congratulate James for this well deserved achievement.
