Alex Cooroy History

AS Cooroy Ambulance Station celebrates 100 years, a story about a Cooroy Queensland Ambulance Transport Brigade (QATB) officer in the mid-1960s entering a cage full of lions to raise money for the station came to light.

Brian Midgley said that if his dad Keith, a Cooroy QATB Superintendent, went into a cage of five lions with the lion tamer from Bullen’s Circus, a percentage of the night’s take would be donated to the Cooroy QATB. “He went in fearlessly and came out unharmed – thanks, I'm sure, to Mr Bullen,” Brian said.
