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.

Local Golfers in Enoggera Swing to Grant Five Starlight Wishes

The Enoggera community is helping to grant five life-changing wishes for seriously ill children by participating in a unique virtual golf fundraiser at the local X-Golf venue.

The national event, called the Starlight Swing, is running throughout November to support the Starlight Children’s Foundation. X-Golf, which has a 30-strong network of venues including the Enoggera and South Bank locations, has a national fundraising target of $33,500. This amount is needed to grant five special wishes for children and families who are facing challenging times.

A Magical Course for a Cause

To mark the campaign, X-Golf has introduced a special purpose-built virtual course. It is a magical redesign of the popular Pirates Island Golf Course, now featuring themes from the Starlight foundation. This nine-hole course was developed by Korean manufacturers with guidance from both X-Golf Group and the foundation. It is designed to be an immersive experience, using animated visuals to make every swing feel special.

Players of all skill levels are invited to get involved in the effort to help grant these life-changing wishes. For a $10 donation at their local X-Golf, participants can play the 9-hole Starlight Swing course. They can choose to play solo or in a two-to-four-player scramble format.

Meet Lottie

This year’s star for the Starlight Swing campaign is Lottie — a brave young girl whose world was turned upside down when serious illness entered her life. Between hospital stays, treatments and tough procedures, Starlight stepped in to give Lottie precious moments of joy — moments where she could laugh, play and simply be a kid again.

When Lottie was just a toddler, her parents noticed something unusual — a white reflection in her eye that didn’t seem right. After a series of tests, their worst fears were confirmed: Lottie had retinoblastoma, a rare and aggressive eye cancer. Within days, she underwent surgery to remove her affected eye, followed by rounds of treatment to ensure the cancer hadn’t spread.

The diagnosis was devastating. Hospitals became a second home, and the once carefree little girl faced long appointments, scary needles and moments of fear no child should ever endure. Yet throughout it all, Lottie’s spirit shone through — her laughter, curiosity and courage inspired everyone around her.

With every $10 swing at X-Golf during November, you help honour Lottie’s journey and bring more of those magical, hope-filled experiences to children like her.

A Personal Connection to the Cause

The initiative is particularly meaningful for X-Golf’s Peter Nolan, who understands firsthand the difference this support can make. Having undergone chemotherapy for Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in 2014, Mr Nolan witnessed the light and positivity the Starlight foundation brings to children during their hospital stays.

He explained that the foundation’s work is not just about fighting illness, but about giving children moments of joy, hope, and normalcy when they truly need it. Mr Nolan said that every small act of care counts, and the company is proud to see its venues and communities coming together for such an important cause.
