CARER CONNECTIONS Edition 41 - November 2021
ESCAPE TO ULLADULLA Residents of our Billabong and Rainbow Supported Accommodation, Brett, Bruce, Colin, Mark and Michael, recently hit the road for an Afford Getaway to Ulladulla. The trip was the first Getaway since the lifting of NSW’s COVID-19 lockdown and it did not disappoint. The men and their lifestyle assistants enjoyed adventure, relaxation and met some furry friends during their picturesque coastal escape. “It was such a breath of fresh air for the guys to have some time away and new experiences. They started thinking about booking an Afford Getaway once we knew restrictions were easing and then they booked it as soon as they could,” said Lifestyle Assistant, Lucy Mattingley. The crew headed down the coast on November 1st with three days of fun ahead of them, spirits were high. Their accommodation was 3-minutes from the beachside and once they settled in, they realised that their neighbours would be free-roaming kangaroo’s. The main event was visiting Mogo Wildlife Park, where our clients got to see animals of all shapes and sizes. Mogo Wildlife Park has panda’s, meerkats, camels, rhinos and big cat species, including the kings of the jungle, lions. “Their favourite part of the trip would be between Mogo Wildlife Park, Funland Arcade and the food. Our guys are big foodies, so we did a mixture of eating out and cooking. My favourite part was seeing them have fun together,” continued Lucy. Brett and Colin also celebrated their birthdays on the trip, so of course, cake had to be shared. The bumper cars were a big hit at Funland and they carried on the friendly competition at the mini-golf in Bungalow Park. “Getting to share these moments and be so involved in their lives is very special. They all had such a great time. They went home very happy but very tired. Even Bruce, who can be a hard egg to crack, said he had a great week,” said Lucy.
