24.01.2022 It’s Disability Action Week! The theme this year is ‘Access-ability’ and is about making the community accessible to people of all abilities. Do you work for a business or organisation that could improve their accessibility? - are staff trained to be patient with people who take longer to communicate? - are there even pavements and ramps that allow easy access - is your website and other resources easy to read and use?

21.01.2022 We are so happy to be back at Miraa House after a short break over the festive season. We have wasted no time building on skills we practiced last year! Today we made pesto from scratch using basil we planted in the garden. We used this pesto in a delicious potato salad for lunch. Yum!

19.01.2022 Last week was NAIDOC week. In celebration we learned differing Aboriginal symbols and their meanings, created an Indigenous wall of fame and reflected on present day Indigenous heroes as well as those throughout history. We purchased and read the book 'Respect' and read an acknowledgement of country each day. Unfortunately, our trip to Birrunga Gallery and Dining had to be postponed however, we are excited to have the chance to visit soon. We are thankful to be able to meet... at Miraa House each weekday which stands on Yuggera country and acknowledge the traditional custodians of this land. Always Was, Always Will Be.
