It was fantastic catching up with everyone at yesterday's Launceston Wheelies meetup!

Big shoutout to Tasmanian Disability Awards nominee, Lorene Dowling, for joining us. We had a brilliant afternoon immersed in the world of Frida Kahlo, enjoying music, singing, and good company at The Lounge. Feeling inspired and energized!

Thanks to everyone who came along, and we're already looking forward to seeing you all at the next Launceston Wheelies meetup next Thursday!

Stay tuned for details. THE LOUNGE | Community
