With the start of Spring it’s hard not to get drawn to our gardens. 🌿🐦
Our Hawthorn residents have spent a craft session making bird feeders to attract birds into our gardens, now hung in strategic locations for us to enjoy the birdlife from our windows.
On the road again….We’ve again ventured to the Huon valley enjoying lunch at the Grand Hotel.
Then and Now
In the early days the 'town' was nothing more than the Picnic Hotel and a shop or two along the river. It wasn't until 1889 that the town became known as Huonville. The Picnic Hotel was burnt down in 1916 and was subsequently rebuilt as the Grand Hotel which still stands near the bridge.
The first bridge was timber was built in 1876 with blackwood arches and had a lift span on the northwest end to let sailing ships through, however the lift span was notorious for not working properly. The original bridge was eventually replaced in 1926 and in 1959 the present steel and concrete structure was completed.
Look closely at the old photo and you can see Sleeping Beauty in the background, she is captured very frequently these days and has many photos on social media.

National Carers Week 10th – 16th October
Running from October 10 to 16 2021, National Carers Week is a time to recognise and celebrate the 2.65 million Australians who provide care and support to a family member or friend.
Carers are people who provide unpaid care and support to family members and friends who have a disability, mental health condition, chronic condition, terminal illness, an alcohol or other drug issue or who are frail aged – anyone at any time can become a carer.

All aboard - Hawthorn to Mount Nelson Signal Station.
The Mount Nelson Signal Station was built back in 1811 in order to send messages down to Port Arthur. It was the first built in Tasmania and it was so efficient that it could send messages down to the Tasman Peninsula in a matter of 15 minutes. Using a red and yellow semaphore flag, the signal station used a series of flag positions to specify different letters in the alphabet. This Morse code-type language was yet another deterrent for prisoners escaping Port Arthur.
Now the Mount Nelson Signal Station is a popular tourist destination for its views over Hobart and the River Derwent along with its café restaurant.
Snug Village recently received a gorgeous edible “bouquet” from a past residents family as their way of celebrating her birthday and memory. A lovely acknowledgement from the family.
“In memory of the care the beautiful Snug Village Team provided and in celebration of her birthday”.
We form strong connections with our residents and we’re so glad it shows.
International Day of Older Persons, is celebrated every year on October 1.
We have celebrated with our residents by holding an afternoon tea, and taking some fun photos.
The same day we also celebrated a birthday with Doris who turned 103. Happy Birthday Doris. 🥂🎂
