Council Calls For Local Hero NominationsIf you admire someone for making a diff erence to the Penrith community, then

give them the recognition they deserve and nominate them for a 2015 Australia Day Award.

Penrith Mayor Ross Fowler OAM said Penrith City Council’s annual Australia Day Awards are the perfect occasion to honour the everyday heroes whose outstanding contributions might otherwise go unrecognised.

“These awards allow Council to showcase Penrith residents as model Australians and highlight their stories and eff orts to help others,” he said. To receive this prestigious honour, winners demonstrate excellence in their fi eld and are considered inspirational role models for the community.

The Australia Day Awards will highlight excellence across categories including: Citizen of the Year, Young citizen of the Year (16-25 years), Sportsperson of the Year and Local Appreciation Awards (for community service). All nominees are considered for the Penrith Citizen of the Year Award and Penrith’s Local Hero Award. Visit penrithcity.nsw.gov.au/ausday and send us your nomination before 14 November 2014.


The wonderful news that a full study of a comet will be possible if the Rosetta probe is successful in placing a lander. It has taken 10 years after 6.4 billion kilometres was travelled by the probe since being launched. Hopefully further data will be gained in our understanding of the universe in which earth is just a tiny ‘dot’.

The mind boggles in coming to comprehend the wonder and the mystery. But equally so is the wonder and mystery that the molecular biologist Francis Crick, who gained fame in his role of discovering the double helix structure of DNA argued that you, your joys and sorrows, memories and ambition, your sense of personal identity and free will are in fact no more than the behaviour of a vast assembly of nerve cells and their associated molecules.

Christian anthropology has down through history argued for the teaching that all creation as understood by probe and analysis constitutes a ‘whole’ of which human beings are but a part. So from molecular intricacy of the human body to the vast expanse of the universe nothing is isolated. The Ebola virus destroying so many lives at the moment with the frustrating reality that medical science cannot find a cure, to the wonderful achievement of the human mind in opening up the vastness of space, each in its part is related to the ‘whole’. Another great

mystery is that we are born into situations in which we had no choice! One can enter the world say as a European, an African, an Asian. What is a common factor is that the mind and body grows and develops within the structures in which it lives.

A further dimension is the religious aspect. The soul of the person completes the ‘whole’. But one asks what is the soul? Roughly it can be argues the soul is the mind, the intellectual dimension of what makes us our self. In this the Christian can argue that while indeed the vast assembly of nerve cells and their associated molecules constitutes the human, it is belief in the soul that completes the ‘whole’.

The richness, the wonder, the mystery of the Christian faith is that the whole person has an eternity that rests not in aspects of the created order but in the hope given to us in the Resurrection of Jesus, the Christ. This hope recognizes the reality of death that annihilates to our understanding the whole person but places trust not in the hope of survival after death but in the hope of death and resurrection.

This in itself will be the action of the Father who has given the assurance in the life, death and resurrection of the Son. It is by trust in the Holy Spirit that by prayer, the life lived, the right application of reason that the mystery of the ‘whole’ of creation results in awe and worship.

A side note; on Sunday 14th September at 10am at Saint David’s 116 years of continued worship is celebrated. Why not come and give thanks?

HEALTH MATTERS

Fears and PhobiasDo you have a fear or a phobia which

is holding you back, stopping you from doing the things you want to do? Maybe a fear of fl ying is stopping you from enjoying that overseas holiday or your fear of snakes prevents you from enjoying the outdoors with your family.

A lot of people will tell you FEAR just means False Evidence Appearing Real, and to get over it, but for those who suff er from a fear of something, it is real and it is not a matter of just getting over it.

Often the fear or phobia started when you were very young and something that someone said or did which, at the time was said or done in fun, had an eff ect on you and each time you are faced with that fear, the embarrassing feelings or the anxiety which occurred on that very fi rst time, come rushing back and stop you dead in your tracks.

You don’t have to live life with these limitations. EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) or Tapping Therapy is excellent at addressing such issues. It will allow you to address the anxiety around the fear or phobia so you can enjoy your life to the fullest. Imagine being able to hop on a plane, climb a ladder, sky dive, ride in a hot air balloon, enjoy a picnic in the great outdoors without panicking about what might happen. It is possible, but it’s up to you to take the fi rst step.

Leura Gardens Festival CelebrationsGarden lovers of all ages are invited to visit

Leura this October to help the popular Leura Gardens Festival celebrate 50 years of showcasing

spring in the Upper Blue Mountains. This year’s festival will take place from Saturday,

October 4 to Sunday October 12, and feature 11 wonderful gardens, some of which took part in the original festival and some of which are new to the festival, as well as the return of several old favourites.

There will also be an associated programme of events including a Music Festival, Art Show and horticultural talks by respected presenters, including well-known horticulturists, writer and speaker, Jennifer Stackhouse.

The Music Festival is on every afternoon from 1:00pm and will cover everything from jazz to barbershop to opera. The many popular performers taking part include the Orpheus Quartette, Silver Fox and the Penrith City Harmony Chorus.

Visitors can also take advantage of the excellent prices at the festival plant sales centre, which will offer a wide range of plants including the special 50-year celebration souvenir, a gorgeous yellow daisy named “Leura Gold”.

Whether you are a first-time visitor to the festival or one of the many people from all over Australia who come back year after year, there will be much for you to experience and enjoy, and, as well, you are supporting a very worthy cause.

The Leura Gardens Festival was born in 1965, with the aim of raising money to purchase equipment for the Blue Mountains District Anzac Memorial Hospital. The festival has now raised the grand sum of over $2 million for the local hospital and donations are also made to other local health-related charities including Blue Mountains Health Trust, Can Assist and Blue Mountains Cancer Help.

For further information, please visit www.leuragardensfestival.com or phone 0431 095 279.

We work in partnership with our parish, families and local secondary schools, Xavier College, Llandilo, Caroline Chisholm College (girls), Glenmore Park and St Dominic’s College (boys) Kingswood to provide quality Catholic schooling from Kindergarten to Year 12.

At Llandilo Public School we are very lucky to have so many teachers who are willing to organise many extra-curricular activities for our students. Over the course of the past few weeks our students have been involved with Chess tournaments, excursions to Warragamba Dam, Touch Football carnivals, PSSA sport and Zumba lessons.

We also celebrated the 60th anniversary of the very fi rst Education Week by opening our classrooms to parents and community members. Our visitors were entertained by our dance groups, which included a Zumba demonstration. The Book Fair ‘Reading Garden’ looked amazing too and it was well supported by the whole school community.

Our Pre-School Early Learning at Llandilo Program (PELL) for Kindergarten 2015 has also been a huge success. The PELL program runs over the course of 10 weeks. It aims to support children in their transition to Kindergarten by providing opportunities for pre-schoolers to experience life in the ‘big school’ setting. It is run in addition to our Kindergarten orientation program, which starts on the 13th November.

To celebrate Book Week, we are hosting a costume parade. All students (and staff ) dress up as their favourite book character and join in the parade. It’s a lot of fun and the parade promotes the enjoyment of reading books, regardless of age.

Our students also recently competed in the District Athletics Carnival. They all displayed great sportsmanship, whilst encouraging each other and everyone had a great day. Some students will now represent the district at the upcoming Regional Athletics Carnival.

Our Walkathon raised over $10 000 which will go towards

technological improvements in order to take this school further forward, as we move through 21st century teaching/learning. Everyone is very enthusiastic about our future plans and it won’t be too long before we are working with our own stock of Ipads. Hopefully by the start of term 4, our technological resources will be well stocked and heavily utilised.

The Cranebrook Performing Arts Festival was also a huge success and I was amazed at the talent on display. The audience watched many polished musical and dance performances, and the costumes were amazing. It was a wonderful way to showcase the many talents of teachers and students who attend the Cranebrook Learning Community of Schools. A fi ne display of Public Education!

Following on from last year’s inaugural event, Fernhill Estate in conjunction with Hawkesbury Race Club is once again bringing country racing to Sydney. As announced at a launch yesterday, the Fernhill Picnic Race Day will be held on Saturday 18 October.

This year’s date change sees the event coinciding with Caulfi eld Cup Day and City Tattersalls Club Cup Day at Royal Randwick. The organisers only see this as a positive.

“It’s such a great time of year, the weather hopefully won’t be as hot as last year and everyone is really getting into the swing of the Spring Racing Carnival,” said the event’s Project Manager, Tai Ryan.

Located just an hour from Sydney’s CBD and 10 minutes from Penrith, Fernhill Estate is set on 1,800 acres in the Mulgoa Valley. The property features a 2,400m racetrack which had previously been privately used until Fernhill’s new owners Brenda and Simon Tripp were granted permission from Racing NSW and Penrith City Council to use the track for a picnic race day. The prize money levels, all put forward by Fernhill directly, are the highest for any picnic race meeting in Australia.

Yesterday’s launch saw the introduction of the event’s Ambassadors, former NRL player Trent Barrett and local performer and The Voice fi nalist, Brittanie Shipway. Both are local residents and are looking forward to supporting this unique community day out.

The Picnics’ offi cial charity partner was also announced as The John Maclean Foundation. The John Maclean Foundation exists to change the lives of young Australians who use wheelchairs and a percentage of all Picnic Race Day ticket sales will be donated to the charity. This partnership was kicked off today with eight Fernhill staff members completing an Ice Bucket Challenge under a tractor! See video footage of the challenge here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mo-J9Y0Coto&feature=youtu.be

To visit Fernhill Estate and take in its 200-year history is genuinely breathtaking. It’s sloping green hills and ancient trees make it the perfect place for relaxation while its stables and track have led to it being a working enterprise in the equestrian world. Centre to the Fernhill experience is the heritage listed sandstone mansion, built from sandstone quarried on the property by convicts and constructed by 20 Irish stonemasons brought out under the ‘bounty system’ of immigration.

“Last year’s Picnics was amazingly successful for an inaugural event,” said Mrs Brenda Tripp, Fernhill Estate Owner and CEO.

“There were a few operational issues as you’d expect with the

fi rst ever event, but the great thing is they have all been rectifi ed. “Based on the feedback we received, visitors can expect much

more shade and easier car park access for this year’s Picnics.”The day will be compered by TV personality Ben Damon and

2GB’s Ray Hadley has again come on board to commentate the six race program, including the feature event, the $15,000 Fernhill Cup which was taken out by the Goulburn-trained Bush Brandy (Graeme Spackman) and jockey Tim Phillips in 2013.

But the action doesn’t stop on the track. Female fashion will be a draw card via the Luv My Bag Fashions on the Field competition; children will be thoroughly entertained with a range of activities in the Outback Steakhouse Family Zone; and the Food Fare will off er local and international cuisine to tickle the taste buds. Live music including the popular post-race concert and a performance by Brittanie Shipway will feature, plus one lucky patron will win a holiday to Hamilton Island!

The punters haven’t been forgotten either with tote and bookmaker betting facilities available and all the action from Caulfi eld Cup Day live on the big screen.

Tickets are now on sale. General admission tickets are $30 (pre-purchased) or $40 on the day. Children under 14 years are free. Alternatively upgrade and book into one of the fi ne hospitality options available. There is onsite parking or connecting shuttle bus services from local areas. Gates open: 10.00am, First race: approximately 1.10pm Post-race concert: approximately 5.30pm. Book now at www.fernhillpicnics.com.au

Education Week was a huge success at Henry Fulton Public School. We had hundreds of parents, carers, grandparents and aunties and uncles visit our school for Open Day.

The day began with a show in the hall. We had our K-2 putting on a Zumba display. This display

gave our visitors an insight into part of our physical fi tness program. This was followed by our choir who performed a wonderful rendition of “Wings”. Then the fi nal item was a performance of our boys dance group who performed to “Can You Feel It.” A highlight of this performance was when the lights went out during the dance and all you could see were the “Lime Fluro” parts of their outfi ts moving to the music.

After this our visitors then visited the classrooms for the rest of the morning. This gave our students a chance to show off their hard work and achievements that they have made in their education. This was followed by our visitors enjoying morning tea with the children, a great way to fi nish off the morning.

Last month our P&C held our Annual BBQ at Bunnings, North Penrith. Our P&C play a major role in school life at Henry Fulton.

What’s Happening at ........................ Henry Fulton Public School ?

PARENTS CORNERArticle by: Narelle Smith (Family Worker) NepeanStudent-Wellbeing Worker – Mulgoa Public School Nepean Community & Neighbourhood ServicesPh: 0409 986 121 Centre: 4721 8520Blog: http://handsheartsminds.wordpress.com

Parents who come to my groups hear me say quite often…“What is the most POSITIVE thing I can do, to GUIDE and

EDUCATE my child, to teach him/her new SKILLS and BEHAVIOURS, and maintain the RELATIONSHIP?”

It’s a prompt that I wrote for parents to guide them in growing up their children.

Recently, in one of the groups, a parent asked…“What can I do about a child interrupting whilst I’m speaking to someone? He does it all of the time.”Why do children interrupt?

Because what they have to say is the most important thing to them at this point in time. Children are egocentric, they do believe that whole world revolves around them. They are not deliberately being selfi sh, it’s part of their brain development, and if you think about it it’s a survival tactic. They get excited about what they want to say. They want to say it quickly because if they don’t say it right now they might forget and everyone will miss out on hearing their wisdom. It’s not because they are rude or stupid.

Why do we have to constantly remind our kids about some of our rules and values? Because they are kids. Because when they get excited, they forget about the rules and social niceties. Because their logical and rational brain is not fully developed. Dr Becky Bailey, a clinical psychologist in the USA says that we have to remind our kids of the rules up to 2,000 times, for each rule. That’s a lot of reminding, but that’s part of the job of being a parent.

So, let’s break down our problem with the child interrupting using the above prompt…

Most positive thing?

Being kind, caring, and supportive.Guide and educate?

Give the child a hand signal to stop.Relationship?

Look the child in the eye to let him know you’ve heard him. Draw him in close for a side hug, or softly touch his shoulder.New skills and behaviours?

At the fi rst available moment, acknowledge his excitement and gently remind the child that he interrupted and remind him of what to do instead.

Say, “Hey I know you are keen to tell me something, but you interrupted the conversation between Dad and I, next time please say ‘excuse me’ “.

Now, in this instance the young fella has ADHD, which means he has trouble with hyperactivity, impulse control, memory, organisation, and focus. And a lot of kids with ADHD also have anxiety. So we added the additional strategy of teaching him to write down on his white board what he needs to tell Mum so he doesn’t get anxious about forgetting it.

Of course, if it’s an emergency, like the stove has caught fi re or the baby has climbed onto the change table and is about to nose dive off it, then we don’t mind our kids interrupting us. Do we?

That’s a whole lot better than calling our kids ‘rude’ (a put-down), screaming at them for interrupting, and telling them to go away. What do they learn when this approach is used? How does it make them feel? How likely are they to want to come and tell you something if this is the reaction they always get?

If you have a child with ADHD or ADD you may like to come along to a support group that has recently been established in the Penrith area. The group meets on the third Monday of the month at 7:30pm at South Penrith Neighbourhood Centre. All welcome.

Child Approached - LlandiloPolice are appealing for information after a girl

was allegedly approached by a man in Llandilo near Penrith.

About 3pm (Monday 1 September 2014), a 13-year-old girl was walking along Ninth Avenue towards Third Street in Llandilo, when a white Holden Commodore VX pulled up beside her.

The driver, a man, has been described as Mediterranean/Middle Eastern in appearance, aged between mid 20’s to 30’s and short black hair, spoke to the girl.

She became afraid and kept walking. A few minutes later the car drove away and her mother arrived.

The incident was reported to police and St Marys Local Area Command attended and commenced an investigation.

Anyone with information about this incident should call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or use the Crime Stoppers online reporting page: https://www1.police.nsw.gov.au/. Information you provide will be treated in the strictest of confi dence. We remind people they should not report crime information via our Facebook and Twitter pages.

Meanwhile, the incident has again prompted police to encourage parents to discuss the ‘Safe People, Safe Places’ messages with their children, including;• Make sure your parents or another adult you know knows where you are at all times.• Always walk straight home or to the place you are walking to. Walk near busier roads and streets, or use paths where there are lots of other people.• Know where safe places are – a shop, service station, police station, library or school. If you are ever frightened, you should go to one of these places and ask them to call the police.• Learn about safe adults you can look for and talk to if you need help – police offi cers, teachers at school, adults you know and trust.• Don’t talk to people you don’t know and never get into a car with someone you don’t know. If a car stops on the side of the road and you don’t know the person inside, do not stop.• If you are scared and can use a phone, call 000 and tell them you are scared.• If someone tries to grab you, yell out, ‘Go away, I don’t know you’. This lets other people know you have been approached by someone you don’t know.


Spring Clean Your Pool for Safety Sake

Spring is the time to spring-clean your backyard and swimming pool – for safety sake.

Penrith Mayor Ross Fowler OAM said pool fences fail when they’re not maintained, when gates are faulty or when climbable objects are left nearby.

“As the weather warms up it’s imperative to conduct a home pool safety checklist,” Cr Fowler said.

“Pool owners need to check that all fence panels are securely attached, that gates close automatically and there are no rusted, loose or missing screws.

“Just as importantly, all climbable objects like chairs, pot plants, BBQs, shrubs, rocks and toys should not be kept near pool fences. Children use these things to climb into pool areas.”

Penrith Council’s Swimming Pools Barrier Inspection Program – developed and adopted by Council in 2013 as a response to changes to state legislation – was designed to enhance the safety of children under fi ve around backyard swimming pools.

The Barrier Inspection Program applies to all pools and spas, including those that are portable and infl atable, which hold 30cm or more of water.

“We need to ensure pools and spas have safety barriers that meet the Australian standards. By being proactive, we can stop drownings and the devastating injuries that can occur to children who nearly drown,” Cr Fowler said.

Fees apply for inspections. It is $150 for the fi rst inspection and $100 if a second inspection is required.

If your pool fence complies, a certifi cate of compliance can be issued which is valid for three years.

So devote this weekend to spring cleaning your pool area and contact Council to organise inspections as soon as possible, Cr Fowler said.

You can carry out a self assessment of your swimming pool barrier fence to assist with compliance, before a Council inspection. Checklists can be found at swimmingpoolregister.nsw.gov.au/checklists.

Royal Life Saving also has a Home Pool Safety Checklist. Go to penrithcity.nsw.gov.au/Backyard-Pool-Safety for a link to their website, or download the PoolSafety app from the App Store.

For more information contact Penrith Council’s Swimming Pool Administration Offi cer Nicole Meyers on 4732 7897, or go to penrithcity.nsw.gov.au/Backyard-Pool-Safety/.

When did Ecolawns Australia begin?

We have been installing synthetic lawn for the past 5 years and have done our research to fi nd and off er people the best products on the market.

Why do people choose to install synthetic lawn?

People choose synthetic lawn for reasons such as their yards get a lot of shade and real lawn doesn’t grow well. Another main reason is pets, people with dogs that ruin their lawn, synthetic grass is the perfect solution because it is tough and dogs can not dig through it. It’s also just the peace of mind of having a lush green lawn all year round with no maintenance.

What are the benefi ts of having synthetic lawn?

The main benefi t of synthetic grass is that there is no maintenance and it is suitable for any area such as around swimming pools, any front or backyards, balconies and rooftops. It’s very versatile.

What are the diff erent types of lawn available?

We have a wide range of lawns from your very natural looking lush lawns through to sporting surfaces such as putting greens and cricket pitches.

How do you maintain artifi cial lawn?

The only maintenance with synthetic grass is occasionally blowing away leaves if you have trees around and picking up dog droppings if you have dogs.

How long does artifi cial lawn last?

Our products are all Australian made so they are made for our harsh environment unlike the cheaper imported products. They have UV protection to stop fading or discolouring and they have been tested and proven to last 25 years plus.

How big of an area can you cater for when providing synthetic lawn?

We can cover any size area from your small residential backyard up to school playgrounds.

How can people purchase synthetic lawn through Ecolawns Australia?

We have just recently opened a factory unit at 8/70 Mulgoa Road Penrith where customers can come to see our range of products or you can alternatively go to our website www.ecolawnsaustralia.com.au or call us on 0427 001 488.

Are you Still Waiting for the Day That You’ll be Fit, Healthy and Looking Your Best?

How many times have you told yourself that you’ll start living healthy tomorrow? Or next

week?After you’ve had just one more pizza dinner

and one more lazy day on the couch...Then you’ll commit yourself to eating right and exercising

regularly, right?It’s time to realise that this line of thinking is a sneaky little

trap. One that fools all of us at one point or another.You see, when you put off healthy living to some designated

day in the future, you’re putting the responsibility of change on your future self. Tricky, since your future self doesn’t even exist yet.

Only you, in the present moment, are capable of making amazing change happen.

Being fi t and lean is the result of thousands of healthy choices – all made in the present moment.

So give your future (fi ctional) self a break and start making real, tangible progress towards your goal – right now, in this moment.

Begin right now by calling or emailing today to get started on an exercise program that will enhance your life and bring your goals from fantasy to reality.

Prepare Financially Before Taking Maternity LeaveWhy you should do it and what can happen if you don’t …..

Case StudySamantha and Luke had been married for a few years and were both bringing in a comparable wage. They were equally contributing to their living expenses, including their mortgage and utilities. Luke paid the mortgage and

Samantha paid the utilities, groceries and everyday living expenses (including a car loan). In March 2011 Samantha found out she was pregnant - and they were both very excited! The months rolled on very quickly and their beautiful baby boy arrived. Samantha’s paid parental commenced 6 weeks after her baby was born - not straight away - fi rst problem!The next problem was that the paid parental leave was $400 lower than Samantha’s weekly wage. Bills rolled in, but there wasn’t enough income. Letters from the bank were coming in. The car loan, personal loan and credit card repayments were behind. They tried several diff erent banks to consolidate but no one would help them as Samantha wasn’t working. Samantha decided she should go back to work and met with her employer to discuss returning on a part time basis. The only option for her was to come back full time or there was no job to come back to. As she couldn’t go back to work fulltime, she was left with no choice but to resign. It took another 8 months to fi nd a new job, but by that time Samantha had

to settle for a full time position.

Rewind!

What Samantha and Luke should have done was call their broker for fi nancial assistance. But they didn’t they went straight to the banks. This only resulted in knock backs - and of course their credit score was damaged in the process.If they had a broker who knew them and their situation, there could have and would have

been a much diff erent outcome.Action!

Calling your broker is usually something that most people don’t think to do when they fall pregnant. When we meet up with couples like Samantha and Luke (often referred to us by our existing clients) they all wish they had a broker who could have given them some advice. They now know they would be in a much diff erent fi nancial situation if they did. These couples now tell all their friends to sort their fi nances before going on maternity leave.

RSPCA Cupcake Day Was a Huge SuccessA Cupcake Day is a great

way to raise awareness and money for the RSPCA. We hosted a Cupcake Day at Orchard Hills Veterinary Hospital on Monday 18th August 2014.

Thank you to everyone who came in and donated

and ate a cupcake or two. Also a huge thank you for the online donations. We raised $700.00 for the RSPCA with your help.

Sheridan, Rachel, Stacey, Carly, Eden, Lizzie and Renai cooked up a storm and provided the most delicious peppermint slice, Mars Bar and Malteser slice, and cupcakes.

The Pupcakes were made from the Hills WD science diet baked into cupcakes and iced with peanut butter. Pony, Bella and Callie loved eating the Pupcakes! Thanks again for supporting a great cause!

The RSPCA is the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, a non-profi t, community based charity that works to prevent cruelty to animals by actively promoting their care and protection.

The RSPCA is not an agency of the Australian Government and therefore relies on the generosity of the community – through animal adoptions, volunteering, event participation, donations, fundraising, corporate partnerships, corporate support, bequests and grants – to support its vital daily work.

We wish every day was cupcake day!

Pupcake RecipeAnimals should not eat cupcakes unless they are specially made

with safe, animal friendly ingredients. Chocolate is especially toxic to many animals!

Remember, Pupcakes are special treats and shouldn’t be fed to your dog regularly!

This recipe makes around 12-14 Pupcakes.Ingredients

2 ¾ cups water¼ cup unsweetened apple sauce¼ cup oats4 cups wholemeal fl our1 cup fresh diced apple1 teaspoon baking powder1 cage free egg, beaten slightly4 tablespoons honey

MethodPreheat oven to 175 degrees Celsius. Spray muffi n tins with

cooking oil.Mix all wet ingredients thoroughly. Combine dry ingredients in a

separate bowl. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients slowly and mix well.

Pour into muffi n tins and bake for 25-30 minutes.Once the Pupcakes have cooled, you can ice the Pupcakes with

smooth peanut butter.

Please feel free to pop in anytime and meet the team at Orchard Hills Veterinary Hospital. Call 4736 2027 to make an appointment. Check us out on Facebook and online at www.orchardhillsvet.com.au.
