Our travels to Halls Gap and Kaniva

RTHB-Tricia La Bella — Sun, 24 Mar 2024 10:41:08 +0000

We traveled to Halls Gap and loved exploring more of our beautiful planet! On the way, along the A8 to reach Halls Gap, we realised the enormity of the devastation from the recent fires. While the fires did not reach the heart of the beautiful Grampians, it sadly left its mark in many surrounding towns. During our time, we met lots of new people, some traveling to the area for well…

KACS helps with DeafBlindSA Awareness

Tricia La Bella — Sat, 19 Jun 2021 05:36:28 +0000

Thank you to everyone who has donated squares… Often we have runs of squares, which means some squares are joined to form a long run. We often join these into blankets, and we also had kept some, which came in handy when Anne from DeafBlind SA expressed their need for runs! The display she organised with the help from her team was wonderful. What a great awareness provoking event.
