Enoggera Defence Force Member Charged Over Ferny Hills Truck Crash

A member of the Australian Defence Force from Enoggera has been charged following a crash involving a military truck in Brisbane’s north-west last year.



The 25-year-old woman has been charged with one count of driving without proper control of a vehicle after the army truck she was driving rolled over on Samford Road at Ferny Hills on 22 October 2025.

Queensland Police said the military vehicle collided with a car during the incident, which occurred in the afternoon. The driver of the car, a 51-year-old woman from Highvale, sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was taken to hospital for treatment.

The ADF member was uninjured in the crash.

Emergency services, including Queensland Police and paramedics, attended the scene following reports of the collision between the military vehicle and the civilian car.

The 25-year-old is scheduled to appear before Brisbane Magistrates Court on 2 February 2026.

An Australian Defence Force spokesperson confirmed the organisation was aware of the matter but declined to comment further, stating the case was now before the court.



The incident remains under investigation by Queensland Police.

Princess Anne Honours Soldiers in Enoggera as Australian Tour Ends

Princess Anne joined veterans and families at Gallipoli Barracks in Enoggera for a Remembrance Day service, marking a solemn close to her Australian tour. The Princess Royal laid a wreath alongside Defence personnel to remember those who gave their lives for Australia.



The ceremony took place on 11 November 2025, the final stop of her visit before she and Sir Timothy Laurence were due to depart for Singapore.

A Moment of Remembrance at Gallipoli Barracks

Princess Anne, Colonel-in-Chief of the Royal Australian Corps of Signals, visited Enoggera to mark the centenary of the Corps, which has served Australia since 1925. She met serving and former personnel and spoke with families following the ceremony, showing quiet respect for their service.

Defence members attended the gathering at Gallipoli Barracks — one of Queensland’s major military sites and home to several active Army units. The visit was part of her continued support for Australia’s military community, a role she has maintained for decades.

Commemorating 100 years of the Royal Australian Corps of Signals

The Brisbane visit followed engagements in Sydney and Melbourne, where Princess Anne attended commemorations marking 100 years of the Royal Australian Corps of Signals. Each event reflected her ongoing involvement with military organisations and her recognition of the contributions of Australian Defence personnel.

While in Brisbane, she also joined corps members for anniversary activities, including a ceremonial sports event and a tug-of-war competition — moments that combined tradition with camaraderie among service members.



Her short but meaningful stay in Enoggera added a respectful close to her Australian tour, highlighting the shared history of service and remembrance observed across the nation.
