Kilcoy resident, John Robinson, who has dedicated much of his life to helping others, has been named as the Somerset Citizen of the Year.
Mr Robinson was awarded the accolade during the Australia Day Awards ceremony at the Somerset Civic Centre at Esk on Tuesday, January 26.
It was also a very special Australia Day for the Asuelo family, Kilcoy, who pledged their allegiance to Australia and its people.
The family of five, formerly of the Philippines, joined 16 other Somerset residents in becoming Australian citizens.
