"We were all thrilled when Kate was awarded the Community Spirit award which was very special," said mum Gillian.
Kate is in her third year as a governess on a cattle station in South West Queensland, approximately 2000 kms away from Wingham.
There were 10 finalists from all areas of Queensland who had five days of functions which included visiting Parliament House and the Brisbane Show at the Ekka.
They were being judged during this time.
On the final day interviews were held with the judge followed by a gala dinner.
Peter and Gillian had travelled to Queensland having only just returned from visiting family in the UK.
"We were able to drive to Brisbane to attend the dinner and support Kate," said Gillian.
