A big thank you Aunty Rose and Sherry for the delicious Jonny cakes.
It was also great to see the children from the community participate in the event by making their own fun in the grassed area, there was lots of laughter which is very healing!
It was an honour for Robinvale District Health Services to celebrate our NADIOC event with the ATSIC by acknowledging in strengthening our partnership with LAN and MVAC committee, and Robinvale community.
