Last week we had the best time at the Wildlife Sanctuary! 🌳🪵

Plenty of laughs, lots to explore, and of course feeding the kangaroos! They were way too cute. 🦘🦚

We love getting out in the community and making these little adventures happen. 🙌🏼🌞

A little throwback to a beautiful day spent at Queens Park, Maryborough.🌳🌸🌺

Tyler enjoyed exploring the gardens and soaking up the peaceful surroundings.
Moments like these remind us how valuable community outings and connection with nature can be. 🙌🏼

Last week we had a great time visiting the old Howard Coal Mine site to learn a bit of local history. We then wandered through the stunning Bamboo Land gardens for some fresh air and sunshine. We went here as a part of the ‘learn to drive’ program we’re currently taking Tyler through!! 🚗🪵🌳

Well done Tyler, you’ll have your licence before you know it!! 🙌🙌🙌

It’s in these moments that a company needs to be lead with a heart and not with a politically correct ‘what we should be seen as’ mentality.

Yesterday we farewelled a beautiful man with the biggest heart for his community, a youthful inquisitiveness and steadfast faith in God above! ‘Dean Comerford’ Surrounded by a plethora of people, whose lives he had impacted in some way or another!

18 months ago, Dean and his wonderful wife Tania lead our company director and his then fiancé, through pre-marriage counselling, followed closely by being the valued celebrant at their wedding, he was/ is someone they both hold dear to them and had done life with for years prior.

Only last Saturday Dean was planning to attend their baby shower with his wife Tania, despite his ongoing battle with cancer. 😢

The week prior, we had just began privately supporting Dean, as his health had declined, in fact we had one of our incredible team members working with him that Saturday morning, but devastatingly during that shift Dean passed into heaven’s gates, despite the teams best efforts to save him.

Today we say a sincere thank you to that team member, for he was able to do everything that could be done in the moment. ❤️

We have been following up regularly with both him and Deans family to offer support and professional help where needed!

But most of all we extend our heartfelt condolences and prayers! We are saddened by the loss of a great man and the impact it will no doubt have on his family and beyond, but over-joyed, knowing he is no longer in pain, but completely restored in heaven! 🙏

- John and Liz Brierley

Revelation 21:4
“He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away".

Pt.2 of our build series! 🔧🔥

Here we have Tyler and John welding and fabricating a fire pit, using materials we picked up from the recycle centre, as an initiative to build skills and a potential income down the track! ♻️👏🏼

Would you buy something like this? 🙌🏼😁

We just wrapped up an awesome STA last week with our legend Shay. 🌟

We kicked things off in Brisbane with a hotpot feast at Haidilao (seriously, 10/10 vibes), hit the shops, explored some fun spots, checked out a giant lolly store 🍭, saw a hilarious comedy show, and even fed some very friendly pigeons down at the Gold Coast. 🐦😂

We ended up staying an extra night - just because we were having such a great time!

Nothing better than making memories and sharing good times. 🙌🏼🌆
