Community heroes and new citizens recognised in Derby’s Ccitizen of the year Awards

There was no better place to be on Sunday, January 26, than the Derby Sportsmen’s Club, where the community came together in true Kimberley style to celebrate Australia Day.

The day kicked off with a cracker of a community breakfast, bringing around 150 locals together to enjoy top-notch tucker and great tunes.

Adding to the special occasion, we had the absolute privilege of welcoming four new Aussie citizens who were officially sworn in, marking the start of their journey as Australians.

Of course, it wouldn’t be Australia Day without recognising the unsung heroes who make the Derby community shine with the 2025 Citizen of the Year awards.

This year’s community citizen of the year was Kierin Thompson, while Lionel Marr took out the youth award.

The senior award went to Fred Russ, and the active citizenship award for a community organisation or event was awarded to the Country Women’s Association Derby/West Kimberley.

The celebrations didn’t stop there.

By the afternoon, another 140 eager revellers rolled in for a family-friendly bash that had something for everyone.

The kids were in their element with giant inflatables, a sizzling barbecue afternoon tea and laughter ringing through the air.

From start to finish, the day was packed with community spirit, good times and plenty of Aussie pride.
