A Wonderful Day Out - Gold Coast South Parkinson's Support Group

Carol recently organised a delightful day out for 20 members of the Gold Coast South Parkinson’s Support Group, who enjoyed a leisurely bus trip south. With the first pick‑up at 8:30am and a few more along the way, there was a lovely sense of anticipation as everyone set off for the day ahead.

First stop was the Tweed Regional Gallery & Margaret Olley Art Centre in Murwillumbah, where the group were warmly welcomed by Elizabeth for a guided tour. Highlights included seeing Ben Quilty’s Archibald Prize‑winning portrait of Margaret Olley, an experience that many in the group found truly special.

The Gallery Café provided a relaxed morning tea, before the group continued on to the Murwillumbah Golf Club for lunch. For many in the group, this was a first visit — and it was thoroughly enjoyed. The beautiful outlook and delicious food made it a lunch to remember.

A very special thank‑you to the group's bus driver Trev, who earned three hearty cheers 🥰 for getting everyone around so safely and smoothly.

It was a day filled with great company, conversation, and shared enjoyment — and it’s safe to say the group is already planning the next adventure. Watch this space!

🌺 ANZAC Day - Lest We Forget 🌺

Today, we pause to remember and honour the service, courage and sacrifice of all Australian and New Zealand service men and women past and present.

We invite our community to participate in ANZAC Day in whatever way feels meaningful to you, whether that is attending a dawn service, laying a wreath, sharing a moment of reflection or simply having a quiet pause at home.

Together, we remember their sacrifice and keep the ANZAC spirit of courage, mateship and resilience alive.

We searched far and wide for a delicious recipe to share ahead of Anzac Day and we think these scones look (and will taste) pretty fabulous 🥰 Bonus - they will be ready in 30 minutes, and this recipe makes at least 20 scones 🌺

We'd love to hear from you if you have made these scones - did you love them?!
