Welcome to Gladstone Dan!

Meet Dan

My name is Dan Saumaki, and I’m a Fijian living in Gladstone.
I arrived in Melbourne, Australia in November 1987. I lived there for 20 years, and during that time I involved myself with the local Fijian community. I was involved with local sporting clubs as in rugby and boxing.
I became one of the boxing trainers at a Police Youth Club helping trouble and underprivileged kids in boxing to help with their confidence and being a mentor in changing lives to become better citizens.
In 2007 I left Melbourne and move up to Hervey Bay where I stayed for a few years. I saw the need to help local street kids and trouble kids in the community.
I started a security company and incorporated a boxing club where kids can come and train and box for fitness and self defence.
With my security company, I serviced local communities and some outside the municipal areas.
Now I am in Gladstone and I would like to help with our Fijian community and others to find ways to help so we can enjoy our stay at the Greater Gladstone community as a whole.
