We have named our Robinson sections and our cosy fireplace lounge
The new names are very familiar names to us and our local communities and are in fact the names of Wings of the old Karingal Hostel.
In recognition of Margaret Wallis OAM, Keith Lowerson, Dorothy Miller and Frank Delaney as a proud independent not for profit community based organisation

The signs are up.
