Olympic medalist rifle shooter, Warren Potent is the 2025 Australia Day Ambassador for Cabonne Shire.
All Cabonne towns and villages will host Australia Day activities this Sunday 26 January, from breakfast and morning teas, to BBQ lunches and tennis to pool parties and kids activities. It’s sure to be a day that we all Reflect, Respect and Celebrate.
This year, Cabonne’s Australia Day Ambassador is Mr Warren Potent, a name synonymous with excellence. Warren has competed in five Olympic Games, earning a bronze medal in Beijing 2008, and has been ranked the world’s number one prone rifle shooter six times. His accolades include multiple gold medals at World Championships and Commonwealth Games, making him Australia’s most successful rifle shooter in history.
But Warren’s contributions extend far beyond his extraordinary sporting achievements. He has dedicated himself to mentoring young Australians, sharing his skills and values to inspire the next generation.
Through his volunteer work with the Beacon Foundation, Warren helps underprivileged high school students gain the knowledge and confidence they need to succeed. His journey is a testament to the power of hard work, resilience, and community spirit.
Celebrate Australia Day with a splash! All seven swimming pools in Cabonne will be offering free entry to visitors during normal opening hours.
