The Farnorha community came together to commemorate Anzac Day yesterday with a moving service. It was a beautiful morning with the sun coming out just as the service wrapped up making for a wonderful day. This year's service was particularly special having had a new plaque installed earlier this month by the Cairns RSL.

Today, Saturday 25 April, our communities across Australia are coming together to commemorate Anzac Day on the 111th anniversary of the Gallipoli landings. For many, this whole week has been about reflecting and honouring those who have served in times of peace and war.

We were lucky enough to sit down with several veterans in the lead up to today and are honoured to be sharing their stories of resilience, comradery and hope.

Today is International Women’s Day, and we’re recognising the foundational role women have played in our organisation, from its beginnings to the present. From Lady Janet Clarke’s tireless commitment to rallying government and community support for those most in need, to Prime Minister Alfred Deakin’s wife Pattie who accompanied our early nurses on their rounds, to our 16,000+ workforce today, Bolton Clarke has been shaped by the vision, hard work and expertise of generations of women across leadership, support and frontline care services.

While the weather has been less than ideal in Cairns lately, residents took advantage of the short reprieve this week and enjoyed a good old Aussie barbecue. There were sausages and Greek salad to accompany a beer or wine, along with a tropical mango and kiwi fruit salad handmade by Nicky for dessert. A big thank you to volunteer Gillian for cooking the barbecue! Resident Don shared his thoughts after lunch, stating that his time at Farnorha keeps getting better every day, even after living at the home for over seven years!

We are wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and a happy New Year during this very special time!🎄
