I was honoured to be nominated as Hawkesbury Local Hero on Australia Day 2025.

After moving to Australia in 2012, I made a commitment to give back through service, volunteering, and supporting local causes, in gratitude for the opportunities this community has given me.

This year, I’ve been humbled to be nominated for Hawkesbury Citizen of the Year. There are so many people across the Hawkesbury who give selflessly every day, and they all deserve recognition.

Whatever the outcome or the noise around it, my focus remains on showing up, doing the work, and getting amongst it 🇦🇺

Hot days can be especially hard on older members of our community. Stay cool and check in on your elderly neighbours to make sure they’re safe and comfortable.

A heatwave warning has been issued by the Bureau of Meteorology for some parts of NSW. Hot weather can be dangerous for everyone. Be prepared and follow these simple tips to have a healthy safe summer:

- stay inside during the hottest part of the day
- at home, close your curtains and use fans or air conditioning
- do your housework or exercise early in the morning when it’s cooler
- drink lots of water, even if you don’t feel thirsty
- check in on family and friends.

If you need medical advice and your usual doctor isn't available, you can call healthdirect anytime day or night, for free, on 1800 022 222 and get the help you need.

Happy New Year! 🎆

Sydney fireworks never disappoint, an incredible way to ring in the New Year.

Here’s to a fresh start, big goals and good times ahead. 👏🏽

Every day I drive along Bosworth Street in Richmond, like so many others, and it honestly blows my mind that a road used so heavily is not on an urgent repair list. This is a busy road, yet the potholes have only been patched since the 2023 floods.

Our community deserves better.

Let’s hope 2026 is a better year for the Hawkesbury. 🤞🏽

Anyone else feel like this, or is it just me? Every day feels like a Sunday…

Midnight Mass at St Monica Parish Church tonight, a full church, plenty of locals and a strong sense of community. Thanks to Fr Raymond for the service. A good way to start Christmas. 🎄

BREAKING: Santa is officially on his way to Australia.

New pictures confirm he's packed the sleigh and is about to pick up the other reindeer before setting off on his global deliveries.

When he reaches Australian airspace, Santa's sleigh will be tracked by air traffic controllers around the country and given priority clearance over all other aircraft, ensuring he gets to every home before Christmas morning.

His only instruction is that kids get to bed early.

Wishing everyone across the Hawkesbury a very Merry Christmas 🎄🎅🏽

I hope the festive season brings joy, peace, and a well earned chance to pause, reflect, and recharge.

It’s been a big couple of weeks, and I’m really looking forward to a few days of downtime. Wishing the Hawkesbury community a safe, relaxed, and joyful Christmas. 🎄✨

Out and about this morning and the first stop had to be Parklane Café for my morning coffee ☕️

Bettina and I have even started our own little Christmas tradition, for the past four years we’ve snapped a Santa hat photo together 🎅🎄

Supporting local small businesses is how we keep their doors open and our community thriving.
