Lots of discussions with residents at Magnolia Aged Care in Upper Coomera this morning. It was also great to catch up with familiar faces – Jim, Don, Margaret and Averial. A big thank you to the Magnolia staff for the fantastic job you do in caring for these wonderful residents.

Time for a community roadside at Cliff Bird Park Maudsland after a busy day walking the grassy verges of the electorate. Thank-you to the multiple residents keen for a chat. Plus I noticed lots of Aussie flags flying today.

Aurora is the winner of my Father’s Day Lolly Competition at Pacific Pines Party in the Park. Her dad now has the perfect Father’s Day gift — a brand-new Weber Q BBQ and a jar of Allen’s Lollies! ✨ Aurora’s guess was 240 lollies… and the jar had 241! So close!
