Cross Cultural Awareness Weekend, October 2008

Early on Saturday 4 October, 7 CARAH members and 7 members from othe NRHSN clubs met in Alice Springs to drive out to Glen Helen Resort (130kms west of ALice Springs) for cross-cultural awareness and a Centralian experience.  CARAH had organised 3 x 4WDs to take the group and after a quick roll check and introduction we all piled into the cars and headed to our first stop at beautiful Ellery Creek Big Hole.  Click here to read more and see the photos!

Yuendumu, NT Wakakirri Festival

"The kids had a great deal of fun as did many of the teachers; it was great to be able to promote the health of these little ones and also encourage them to consider jobs in the health industry.  We got a lot out of being able to work with the kids and are looking forward to another visit one day!"  By Dianne Thorp - Click here to read more
