Today, and every last Friday of October is Day for Daniel and is Australia’s largest day of action to raise awareness of child safety, protection, and harm prevention.
This day honours the memory of Daniel Morcombe and is the Daniel Morcombe Foundation’s biggest fundraiser each year and it is not too late to continue donating and supporting. The much-needed assistance helps them to continue developing free resources and programs for parents, carers, and educators to teach children how to stay safe. Funds also contribute to supporting young victims of crime.

Every year, Brisbane experiences severe weather and it's important to take the time to prepare your family, pets and property. The tips on Council's website offer advice on what you should have in an emergency kit and how to stay safe before, during and after a severe weather event.

Great to see local members of our community raising awareness of Breast Cancer this month with lots of creativity. These were taken in the Hamilton area, with a particular amount of effort in Oxford Street.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer affecting Australian women. In 2020 it is predicted that 19,998 women and 170 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer. This means that approximately 20,168 Australians will be diagnosed with breast cancer in 2020, an average of 55 people every day.

Since NBN (we are on that horrid HFC), us and our neighbours have been getting up to hundreds of drop outs a day. An internet of things, and all the wonderful safety features, are great. Until you don't have internet of course. I do wonder if vitalcalls and similar are impacted by these micro-outages.
