What an incredible day at Pride in the Park! 🌈
We were so proud to be part of such a vibrant, inclusive community event here in Moruya. From the amazing live music and energetic drag performances, to the much-loved dog and bike parades, delicious food, and diverse stalls — the whole day was filled with joy, connection and celebration.
Our team from the Medicare Mental Health Centre Moruya loved being there, meeting so many wonderful people, having meaningful conversations, and sharing information about the supports available in our community. It was a great reminder of how powerful it is to come together, create safe and welcoming spaces, and celebrate diversity.
A big thank you to Queerobodalla and everyone who made the day so special — you truly created something memorable 💜
If you stopped by our stall, it was lovely to meet you! And if you missed us, you’re always welcome to drop into the centre for a chat and support.

There are plenty more fantastic events happening across the region — check them out here: https://queerobodalla.com/events/
