"I’ve been in Brisbane for 46 years, moved here from Bunbury WA. My mother was here having an operation and asked me to come and visit. I wasn’t going to stay, but I made friends and ended up not wanting to leave. Bunbury is a beautiful regional town; I miss the scenery, but not the flies. I’ve been on dialysis here at RBWH for 2 years. Dialysis takes time to adjust to, but I’m used to it now; it’s all part of getting older. Outside of this, I’m grateful for my good health. For Easter, I used to go away a lot. I enjoyed going to Noosa for the long weekend. Sometimes I’d go camping, too. I’ve been overseas 3 times. The first was to the UK in 1978. I stayed with a friend on Portobello Road. A very famous road in London, famous for antiques. I’ve also been to Italy, my favourite place to visit was Pompeii. I haven’t been to Portofino, but it’s somewhere I’d love to go."

The Easter bunny may be onto something, hopping (and jumping) exercises have great benefits for your health! 🐰❤️🩹
RBWH Physiotherapist Georgia shows you some exercises that you can try this weekend to keep you moving, active, and injury-free.
Whilst many associate Easter with family meals and favourite traditions, the STARS Food Services team is working hard to recreate that same sense of comfort and celebration for our patients. 🍫🍳
Food Service Officers Steph and Claudette are part of the team that will be cooking up and delivering Easter meals to all of our STARS inpatients this weekend.
"Over the easter period we are doing fish and chips, hot cross buns, easter eggs, all of the favourites you’d expect to see at Easter," said Steph.
"I’m happy to be working over the holiday to provide super quality food to our patients.
"We always strive to deliver exceptional food with even better service; we work hard and we are proud of what we do."
#ShoutoutSaturday to Steph, Claudette and the rest of the STARS Food Services team. ⭐👏
