There’s nothing quite like good food and great company 💛

Our recent Maryborough Peer Group gathered at the Maryborough Services Club for a relaxed and welcoming lunch, filled with meaningful conversation, shared experiences and plenty of laughter. It was a beautiful reminder of how powerful connection can be – bringing people together who truly understand and support one another.

Moments like these are what our peer groups are all about… creating a space to feel heard, supported and part of our community.

Fresh air + shared stories + a few quiet moments by the water + plenty of laughs = something pretty special.

Our recent Taum’s Fishing Day Peer Group wasn’t about the size of the catch… It was about connection, slowing down, and simply being together.

💬 Conversations flowed
🌊 Shoulders softened
🤝 New friendships formed (and old ones strengthened)

These are the moments that remind us how meaningful it is to spend time together and support one another.

Already looking forward to the next one 🎣💛

Mark your calendars for Thursday, 9 April!

Loud and Clear Qld is bringing the ultimate milkshake magic to The Woombye Festival on Sunday, 3 May - and we can’t wait to see you there!

So grab your crew, bring the energy, and come sip, swirl and slurp with us!

✈️ What an amazing day for our Stand By Me Peer Group!

Today, the Stand By Me Peer Group had the exciting opportunity to visit Gladstone Airport, and what an experience it was! From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by CEO Mark and his fantastic team.

Everyone had an awesome time exploring the airport, learning new things, and sharing plenty of big smiles along the way 😊

A special shoutout to Mark, who made everyone feel so comfortable. He even let us know that if anyone ever feels a little unsure about coming to the airport, they can call ahead so his team can support them, and we can even wave to him in his office when we visit! 👋

We were also blown away by the kindness and professionalism of everyone we met - from the security team to the café staff, and of course Mark and Shaunagh, who took the time to answer all our questions and explain just how important airport procedures are.

Gladstone Airport is leading the way in inclusion, proudly supporting the Sunflower Lanyard and continuing to make upgrades to ensure the airport is accessible and welcoming for everyone 🌻

Thank you for such a memorable and inclusive experience - we can’t wait to visit again! 💙
