Young Ambassadors Earn Citizen of the Year Honours The year began with a special moment at the Dungog Shire Australia Day Ceremony, where our two young ambassadors, James Ryan and Jack McBlane, were recognised for their continuous dedication to the museum. Both shared the Young Citizen of the Year Award for 2025, a well-earned honour for their contributions. In another highlight, the museum proudly nominated Trudy Balstad for the Citizen of the Year Award, which she won in recognition of her exceptional community involvement.
