Veterans Health Week Crabbing Event
For the third year in a row, Trevor and Charmane Klose have offered to hold a crabbing event at their premises at Port Parham for Veterans' Health Week on 18 October 24.
Veterans' Health Week is held annually, usually in October, promoted and funded by the Department of Veterans Affairs. This year the theme is Keep Connected.
Anyone who has attended one of these events at Port Parham gets a chance to catch, cook and eat crabs as well as some other healthy foods.
They also have the opportunity to learn about such health topics as diet, exercise, mindfulness and the importance of Keeping Connected with their communities.
The details of this event are:
Location: 8 The Esplanade, Port Parham, SA (a private premises)
Date and Time: 18 October 24, 0900 - 1400 hours
RSVP: Places are limited, so an RSVP will be appreciated to Trevor Klose, 0418 632 508
Lunch: Will be provided and non-alcoholic refreshments will be available before 1400 hours.
What to bring: Clothing for entry to the water including good shoes to protect your feet - the crabs nip! Some crabbing equipment will be available, but if you have some, please bring it and don't forget your hat, sunscreen lotion, sunglasses, and any other personal items you think you may need.
If you've never been crabbing before, don't worry, there will be some experts on hand to help you.

Remembering RAAF Wing Commander Louis T Spence, DFC & Bar
Every year at this time I remember the service and sacrifice of Wing Commander Louis Spence whose name on a drinking fountain at Thornburgh College, Charters Towers, captured my attention when I was a school boy so many decades ago.
