Occasional Digest - a story for you

Each morning for nearly 10 years, Peter Van Beek would wake up and make his way to a roundabout on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast and wave to commuters driving past.

Peter, who was born in the Netherlands, would stand at a roundabout in Buderim, near a traffic sign, with a beaming smile and a simple wave.

Sadly, Peter passed away from a stroke last year, aged 88, and the news triggered an outpouring of love from the community for the man who brightened their day.
