Anzac Day 2026

Yesterday, residents and staff came together to honour Anzac Day with a meaningful in-house service, kindly led by John and Judy Edwards. We extend our sincere thanks to them both for generously giving their time to support our residents in commemorating this important occasion.

We would also like to acknowledge and thank our residents, Rex and John, for laying the wreath on behalf of Mareeba. Their contribution was greatly appreciated and added to the significance of the service.

Lest We Forget

Beneath the dawn’s soft, rising light,
We pause in silence, still and bright,
To honour those who stood so brave,
And gave their all our peace to save.

Through fields afar, their courage shone,
In lands unknown, yet not alone,
Their legacy lives on today,
In hearts that stop to bow and pray.

With gratitude, we stand as one,
Remembering what they have done,
Their sacrifice, their stories told—
Forever young, forever bold.

☘️ St Patrick’s Day at Mareeba ☘️

St Patrick’s Day truly went off with a bang at Mareeba! The day was filled with laughter, connection, and a touch of Irish magic. From lively Irish trivia to toe-tapping music, there was something for everyone to enjoy.

Our residents were treated to a beautiful luncheon, prepared by Leizel and her incredible kitchen team — a feast that brought everyone together and made the day extra special.

A heartfelt thank you to our Wellbeing & Lifestyle team for creating such a vibrant atmosphere, from set up to pack down and everything in between. And to our dedicated AINs, thank you for your ongoing support in preparing residents and assisting throughout the day — your care never goes unnoticed.

☘️

Green was the room, and bright were the smiles,
Filled with laughter that echoed for miles.
With music, good food, and stories to share,
There was joy and a little Irish flair.

For moments like these, both simple and true,
Are made all the better because of all of you.

A heartfelt thank you to bush poet Bob Faulkner for generously sharing his time and talents with our residents — your storytelling and poetry brought so much joy to the day.

Summer days and time in the garden — truly good for the soul 💚

There’s something special about sunshine on your face, fresh air in your lungs and the simple joy of being outdoors. Our residents have been loving their time in the garden this summer, soaking up the warmth, sharing conversations, and enjoying moments of calm and connection.

Spending time outside offers so many benefits for our residents — boosting mood, encouraging gentle movement, supporting better sleep, and providing sensory stimulation through sights, sounds and scents of nature. It’s also a beautiful way to spark memories, conversations and a sense of wellbeing.

Sometimes, it’s the simple moments that make the biggest difference 🌸🌞
