Sean McCarthy Way officially opened

21 March 2018

More than 250 people attended the renaming of Community Court in Highfields to Sean McCarthy Way on Saturday 17 March 2018.

The official re-naming ceremony was conducted by former Governor-General of Australia Dame Quentin Bryce. Victoria Cross recipients Mark Donaldson and Ben Roberts-Smith were also in attendance. Mark Donaldson VC was on the same patrol as Signaller McCarthy when he was killed by an improvised explosive device in Afghanistan in 2008.

Friends and family led by Sean's parents, David and Mary McCarthy, spoke at the memorial service about the lovable man who was determined to do things the Sean McCarthy Way, hence the name now proudly standing along Sean McCarthy Way.
