14.01.2022 It's National Carers Week. Did you know that 2.65 million Australians provide care and support to a family member or friend with disability, mental health condition, chronic condition, terminal illness, an alcohol or other drug issue or who are frail aged? This week provides an opportunity to recognise, celebrate, and raise awareness among all Australians about the diversity of carers and their caring roles.

10.01.2022 Last week a group from Tuart Place visited Fremantle Prison. We enjoyed a "Behind Bars" tour where we explored the cells and learnt some of the building's fascinating history, before sharing a delicious lunch at the Convict Cafe - Fremantle Prison. The weather was perfect too, making it a very enjoyable day.

A big thank you to Fred Rea for the wonderful entertainment, the Clonnie boys for their BBQ skills, the Krafty Ladies for putting together all the raffle prizes, everyone involved in selling tickets and calling the raffle on the day, and all those who helped with setting up at the beginning and clearing up at the end.
