Clown Doctors

When our daughter Georgia was a toddler she burnt her hands on a fireplace. After the initial trauma we spent time at Westmead Children’s Hospital where she received skin grafts and on going treatment. 

The Clown Doctors were priceless.  Not only taking the stress away from her situation but from Caroline and myself.

I can’t believe this organisation receives no funding from the Government.

Co-founder of the Humour Foundation Doctor Peter Spitzer lives here in the Southern Highlands and give so much joy as Doctor Fruitloop to the young and old.

To raise awareness there is a dinner dance at Mittagong RSL from 6:30pm Saturday 19 May.

Caroline and myself are Ambassadors on the night we ask you to come along and enjoy yourselves and help raise money for this very important cause.  All proceeds go directly to the Clown Doctors, tickets are $85 per head and if you would like tickets contact Jan on 4862 2541 or get your tickets at the door.

Nice Day for a Trike Tour

Nice Day for a Trike Tour

A couple of weeks ago Matt and I were lucky enough to go for a ride around the Southern Highlands with John Ford from Highland Trike Tours.  Although a bit rainy, it didn’t stop us John gave us some rain kit and we were off. It really is an enjoyable way to see the Highlands and get some fresh air! You can check them out HERE Read more
