Curtis Cabin
Service Description
# THE CURTIS CABIN **Community Camper Trailer No. 1 – Pumicestone Passage Pirates Incorporated** **A home away from home, named in honour of a man with a heart of gold.** Introducing **The Curtis Cabin**, our very first community camper trailer, proudly named in recognition of the extraordinary volunteer service, generosity and dedication of **Mark Curtis**. Mark has been an integral part of the Pumicestone Passage Pirates Incorporated family since our association was established in October 2024. A veteran and qualified marine engineer, Mark has generously shared his time, knowledge and practical skills to help our organisation grow from its earliest days. Whether he's working behind the scenes on our community boats, repairing equipment, lending his engineering expertise or standing behind the barbecue cooking sausages for hungry Pirates, Mark is always willing to roll up his sleeves and help. He's attended countless fishing competitions and community events, quietly contributing without expecting anything in return. In late 2025, Mark took on another important responsibility, becoming **Treasurer of Pumicestone Passage Pirates Incorporated**, further demonstrating his commitment to our organisation and its future. But what makes Mark truly special isn't just his engineering skills or the hours he volunteers. It's his kindness, compassion, generosity and genuine love for the people around him. He's a wonderful man with a beautiful heart, and we're incredibly fortunate to have him as part of our Pirates family. Naming our first community camper trailer **The Curtis Cabin** is our way of recognising his contribution and ensuring his legacy remains part of the Pirates' story for years to come. Just as Mark has always been there to lend a helping hand, we hope The Curtis Cabin will become a place of shelter, connection, friendship and belonging for our community. Through our **#piratesofftheplank** initiative, we continue working to raise awareness around mental health and suicide prevention, reminding people that connection and kindness can make a difference. **Mark, from all of us at the Pirates, thank you for everything you've done and continue to do. We love you, mate!** **The Curtis Cabin — A safe harbour, built on kindness and community spirit.** **Hire note:** The hirer is responsible for fuel and tackle. **Pumicestone Passage Pirates Incorporated** *Making the invisible visible.* www.pumicestonepassagepirates.com.au
