Today is Thank a First Responder Day.

A day to recognise and celebrate our police, fire, ambulance, SES, and marine rescue personnel and their families who support them.

Today we celebrate everything that makes Queensland the greatest State in Australia!

On 6 June 1859, Queensland officially separated from New South Wales. It was one of the best decisions ever made and, judging by the number of NSW residents who have moved north since then, plenty of them agree!

The Premier David Crisafulli MP and King Wally came to visit us at Oxenford Bunnings to support the fellas at the Oxenford Men's Shed.

Happy to further support the Rotary Club of Coomera Valley with the purchase of a new Point of Sale (POS) system to assist with their fundraising efforts. This upgrade will make transactions smoother and more efficient, helping the club focus on what they do best supporting community initiatives.

Our group is mostly over 50s, with many between 60 and 80, and Canasta is easy to learn and far less serious than bridge
