Armchair Travel!

Posted on 26 April, 2022

Our residents took part in some “Armchair Travelling” by taking part in a live zoom call to Perth Australia.  Vi and other residents chatted with her son Michael and his wife Pat, who have been living in Australia for over 17 years. Michael & Pat also sent flags, signs and Aussie cork hats for the resident’s entertainment.  The residents spent the week before learning and reminiscing about all things Australian including landmarks, food and animals and took part in games and quizzes and even made their own digeridoo’s and passports complete with entry visa’s!  Activities Co-ordinator, Julie O’Connor said “We all had a great time learning Aussie slang and the residents finished off the day with a sing-a-long ending with a wild rendition of “Waltzing Matilda”.  It was very generous of Michael and Pat to send all the goodies from Australia.  Vi said “It was great to see Michael and Pat, it was almost like they were in the room with us”.
