🛷 Christmas Eve Journey
He’s hitched a ride with Santa and the reindeer tonight…
zooming through the clouds, moon overhead, stockings waiting below.
“I’m on my way!”
Not long now — Christmas magic is in the air. ✨🌙🎄

What a lovely evening we shared last Wednesday with the Salvation Army Band and Songsters, filling The Lakehouse with beautiful Christmas music.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended and generously donated to the Salvos Christmas Appeal. Together, the Village raised $𝟓𝟓𝟒.𝟑𝟎, a wonderful result. 💛

Community spirit at its best this Christmas. ✨

🔮 Christmas Countdown Magic
Our Elf has been gazing into his crystal ball…

Only a little longer until the Christmas cheer arrives. ✨🎄

🔐 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐭 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞 🐾

Last week we were pleased to welcome Ashley, Head of Security at Alpha K9, along with a couple of team members, one being Raptor, a German Short Haired Pointer trained in explosives detection.

Raptor, who works across several high profile sites (including Google HQ in Sydney), enjoyed a meet and greet with residents and a few well earned pats! 🐶💙

It was a timely reminder to please:
• Lock your villa and keep garage doors closed
• Report any suspicious activity
• Call 000 in an emergency and notify Village Security 0428 853 389

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this informative session.

🌭 Lakeside Café Christmas Surprise
Our Elf squeezed himself into the bread roll this morning —
clearly getting into the spirit of the season!
Don’t worry, he’s strictly display only. 🎄😊

Cheeky little thing. 😄

Only our Elf would choose a metal bucket as his ride at Niagara Falls.
Brave? Maybe.
Safe? Absolutely not.
Entertaining? Always! 😆
