🌊 Weekly Wonder 🎣

Our P2P Moreton Bay and Brisbane Taum’s Fishing Day Peer Group recently headed out to Baxter’s Jetty for a day by the water, and while the wind certainly made its presence known, it didn’t dampen the spirit of the group!

With rods in hand and plenty of laughs along the way, everyone enjoyed the chance to connect, share stories, and spend time together outdoors. Days like these are a great reminder that sometimes the best part isn’t just the fishing - it’s the friendships, fresh air, and moments shared along the jetty.

A big thank you to everyone who came along and made the day such a success. We’re already looking forward to the next one! 🎣💙
