Retirement Living
With the WA Day public holiday coming up on the 6th of June, we thought we’d chat about all things Western Australia. Here are what some of our residents had to say about their favourite things about WA.
With the WA Day public holiday coming up on the 6th of June, we thought we’d chat about all things Western Australia. WA is notoriously known for its relaxed atmosphere, beautiful sandy beaches, local sport, and award-winning wines... But we all know WA for more than that! Here are what some of our residents had to say about their favourite things about WA.
SwanCare retirement living resident, Mary Manning, said one of her favourite things was the beautiful sunsets. “I have lived in WA all my life, why wouldn’t you love it!” said Mary. “I appreciate all the sunsets we get to see, seldomly I also catch sunrises which are beautiful too. Living in the village makes for a safe atmosphere to go out and enjoy the sunsets with those you love. Life is great!”
SwanCare retirement living resident, Adrian Barnes, loves how versatile the destinations are in WA from the outback to the forest, as well as the oceans and rivers. “We love travelling in WA as it’s not far from home and easy travelling,” said Adrian. “Whatever you want to see is somewhere in our own state - it’s as versatile as you can get. We’re not beach goers, we prefer in-land rivers, but that’s the beauty of choice here. We loved the boat trip we went on from Broome and up the Kimberly coast. It was magic. The Bungle Bungles and Marble Bar are wonderful places to visit in the outback and the Goldfields have great camping spots. For those who like bush and wildflowers must visit Ravensthorpe for their week-long festival, as well as Hopetoun for Franklin River National Park.”
SwanCare retirement living resident, Chris Simms, said he had lived other places in Australia, but prefers Perth weather by far. “I’ve made the comment over the last few weeks, what a lovely climate we have in Perth,” said Chris. “Apart from the occasional storm or hot burst, our weather in Perth is perfect and suits me to the core. I especially love the crisp autumn mornings, where I'll go for a walk or get on my bike and enjoy the day!”
SwanCare retirement living resident, Moya Mahony, loves having family activities by the river. “There’s lots of fun activities around the river,” said Moya. “We love having picnics on the foreshore and going for walks. We also take the grandkids for bike rides which is a great way to get them out of the house. We often hold birthdays at the foreshore which has such a great outlook over the city.”
Ah, we really are lucky folk. Here’s to many more years enjoying this beautiful patch of paradise. Happy WA Day to you all!
