☀️ What a wonderful way to welcome the first day of winter!

Our group enjoyed a scenic walk along the Nobbys Breakwall, taking in the fresh sea air and beautiful harbour views. We then headed to the Tram Sheds for a delicious BBQ lunch before finishing the day with a stroll through the community garden, admiring the amazing produce and the hard work that goes into growing it. 🌱🌻

Great company, beautiful weather, and plenty of smiles made for a fantastic day out! 😊

“This bridge along the water is really nice,” said Gary as our Rec Group enjoyed a beautiful misty morning stroll along the Eleebana Walking Track before the rain rolled in. 🌫️🚶‍♂️

No sugar-coating here. Just honest, real-life stories from brave, beautiful people. 🧠

A fantastic opportunity for our Community Education Team to share the lived experience of acquired brain injury with students preparing for careers in disability and community services.
