Ooops! Nearly forgot! Lisa Pearson from Pure Outback - made the planning and organisation of this event a breeze. Highly recommended!

And last but not least: Manoah McRae, our Social Worker who has taken on so many of the tasks involved in the planning and execution of the night, including being our AV operator. Leanne Press, admin officer turned ticket co-ordinator. Rob Kay, Sam Mundy and all our in-home educators who have assisted with the planning and running of the Children’s Fun Day. The committee members and all the past and present staff and members who supplied photos, shared anecdotes and travelled great distances to help us celebrate.

We would also like to thank our generous supporters: The Office of the Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion who assisted with securing our guest speaker. S. Kidman & Co AJ & PA McBride Majestic Oasis Apartments D & G Tyres Elders Insurance Port Augusta Pindan Tours & 4WD Training Northpoint Toyota And last, but certainly not least, all of our members, families, staff and friends – past, present & future.

Dan Van Holst Pellekaan, State Member for Stuart, ardent champion of the outback. Mark Bell & Dion Alford, representatives of Oz Minerals, a great supporter of all our events and gatherings.
