25.01.2022 Lyndoch Living Allied Health Services team meet regularly at Heatherlie Homes to host the "Fit Minds" program. A fun way to keep the brain engaged by solving puzzles and improve movement through exercise. Word has it that they are extremely good at long division. Pictured here are Marion, Clare, Stuart, Diana, Lena and Marlene who enjoy regular catch-ups and spending the afternoon together. #getbusyliving #ageingwell #retirementliving #lyndochliving #stayactive #stayyoung #livewell

As part of this ceremony, we share some special stories with a number of our residents who we directly, or in-directly impacte...d by those conflicts, one of whom was Wally Robertson, one of our regions last surviving World War Two Veterans. Lyndoch President Susan Cassidy opens the ceremony, which is beautifully MC'd by Michael Bellamy, Operations Manager. Lyndoch Living Exercise Physiologist and Former member of Australian Defence Force Melanie Kent Presents the Ode, while Warrnambool Salvation Army Corps Lindsay Stow will play for you the last post.
