Australia Day Fun at Drayton Villas!

It may have been a hot day, but that didn’t stop residents at Drayton Villas from enjoying a fantastic Australia Day BBQ. The air-conditioning kept us cool indoors, and with a yummy sausage sizzle, great company, and an ice cream cone to finish, it was the perfect way to celebrate together. A great time was had by all! 🇦🇺🍔🍦

Today, we pause to remember and honour the brave men and women who served, and continue to serve, our country. Their courage, sacrifice, and dedication have secured the freedoms we cherish every day.

At 11am we take a moment of silence to reflect on their service.

Lest we forget.

We were thrilled to celebrate an incredible milestone for three of our beloved residents, who each mark 30 years of living at Drayton Villas this year! Ruth Eddie, Neville Hoadley, and Noreen Doran.
We all enjoyed a PowerPoint presentation filled with memories and took time to reminisce together about the past three decades in our wonderful community. We came together to show our appreciation, shared some laughs and had a wonderful morning tea.
Thank you to everyone who came along to make this day so special!
