We were very lucky to welcome the Sunflower Dance Troupe to our village for a wonderful performance on Tuesday last week. The dancers wore the most beautiful, colourful costumes and treated our residents to a mix of fun, energetic dances along with some lovely singing numbers. There was plenty of laughter, smiles and toe-tapping throughout the performance and our residents really enjoyed themselves.

A very big thank you to the Sunflower Dance Troupe for generously performing free of charge and bringing so much happiness and sunshine into our day.

We were abosolutely delighted to welcome the Robertson State School Choir last week to Brookland. With 55 talented students and their teachers, they filled our village with Christmas cheer. With a mix of fun, upbeat songs and much loved traditional carols, accompanied by the talented string performances played by the students.

Our residents loved every minute, singing along and soaking up the festive spirit. This is a visit we all look forward to each year and we are so grateful to the school for taking the time to share their talents and joy with us.

What a wonderful day we had at Brookland Village with the Christmas Craft Markets!. We loved seeing so many of our talented residents and their grandchildren setting up beautiful stalls, alongside some fantastic local stallholders.

There was an amazing variety of stalls with everything from Christmas decorations and handmade cards to jars of pickles and lots of other gifts and market treasures. The village was buzzing with residents browsing, chatting and snapping up some gorgeous Christmas presents.

Thank you to everyone who helped make the day such a great success - stallholders, visitors and residents alike.

We were thrilled to welcome the Mount Gravatt Men's shed Band to our village last week! The band treated our residents to a fantastic performance of around 20 songs to sing along to. With their guitars and an arrangement of songs such as "King of the Road", "Blueberry Hill" and "Country Roads", the residents had a wonderful time tapping along and singing along to the music. A huge thank you to the band for sharing their time and talent with us. It was a wonderful afternoon full of music smiles and community spirit. 🎸 🎸

Residents and staff at Brookland Robertson came together for a truly moving Remembrance Day service.

It was an honour to pay tribute to those who served and sacrificed for our freedom, including the former servicemen and women who stood among us.

Together, we paused to remember their courage, their bravery, and their legacy. Lest we forget.

Our residents and team went all out in Melbourne Cup style; fascinators, bow ties, and even our adorable mascot Suki the chihuahua joined in the fun, rocking her very own fascinator! We had a blast playing Heads and Tails, showing off our outfits in Fashions on the Field, and enjoying a sumptuous lunch catered by the amazing Social Club. A huge thank you to everyone who helped make the day so special — from the organisers to everyone who joined in the fun. We hope you all backed a winner!

Today our residents celebrated the spirit of the Melbourne Cup in true Hydro style; swapping racehorses for pool noodles and donning their best horsey outfits for a light-hearted splash to the finish line! 💦 🐎 💦
A huge thank you to Dana from Fully Integrated Therapies for leading our Hydro Cup class with such energy, laughter, and encouragement. Your creativity and warmth made this annual session such a joyful experience for everyone.
It was a wonderful reminder that fun, friendship, and a little bit of friendly competition can make waves both in and out of the pool!

It was great to participate again in the Day for Daniel, with dozens of residents and staff participating in the Walk for Daniel around our beautiful village. We followed this with a BBQ and morning tea, as well as a fundraiser for the Daniel Morcombe Foundation.

We’re excited to share that the shade sail has finally been installed this week at our BBQ area - just in time for the hotter months, our Day for Daniel BBQ on the 31st October, and Remembrance Day. It’s a great addition to the space, and we’re looking forward to seeing everyone enjoy it!

Happy Birthday to the one and only Janelle – the shy little wallflower (cough cough) who just happens to also be the unmistakable face of Brookland!

Thanks to Deb and Paige for the delicious margarita themed cupcakes. 🍸 🧁

Hydro classes are not only great for mobility and joint health, but they’re also a fantastic way to connect with friends and enjoy some laughs along the way. From gentle stretching to energising movements, everyone enjoys staying active, social, and cool in the pool each week with Dana from Fully Integrated Therapies.
