Doug and Noela Keidge celebrated their 60th (Diamond) wedding anniversary on Thursday 14 April with friends and family at the Noosa Tewantin RSL on Saturday 6 April. The great grandparents say their proudest achievements are their two daughters, five grandchildren and four great grand-children. The couple were born and met in Ipswich and quickly knew they had met their lifelong match. Doug and Noela lived in Ipswich, Tweed Coast and then finally settled in Tewantin, just over 32 years ago, where they worked and eventually retired. Anyone who knows these two, know that they have always been there to help anyone who needs it.
When asked what the secret to a long happy marriage was, their response was to talk through any disagreements as they arose.
They received congratulatory letters from Queen Elizabeth II, Australian Governor-General David Hurley, Prime Minister Scott Morrison, Queensland Governor Jeannette Young, Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk, Wide Bay MP Llew O’Brien and Noosa MP Sandy Bolton.
