Cystic Fibrosis Australia is the only national organisation supporting those with Cystic Fibrosis by providing lifesaving research and services across Australia. Through improved healthcare delivery and research, Cystic Fibrosis organisations around the world have helped to increase the life expectancy of those with Cystic Fibrosis from 18 in the 1980’s, to over 37 today. But it’s still only 37. Everyday at Cystic Fibrosis Australia, we strive towards our vision of Lives Unaffected by Cystic Fibrosis.

From the bottom of our hearts we thank each and every one that donates to this cause. You will help to put a smile on the faces of so many people who are living with or supporting someone with this disease.

Find out what to do over the Easter Long Weekend in our Region.

I would like to confirm that the time for the public meeting is Thursday 12th May 2011 @ 12.00noon to 1.00pm. This will be held at the Vancouver Arts Centre.

Thank you all for all the interest that has been shown. I look forward to seeing you all there.

Great Southern Wine & Food Festival

The Great Southern Wine and Food Festival has moved to April and teamed up with the Harboursound Music Festival to produce a festival that takes advantage of the mild autumn weather and quality entertainment available in Albany at the time.

The major tasting event on Sunday 18 April showcases twenty of the best Great Southern wineries, regional produce and encore performances from some of the international and national entertainment provided through the Harboursound Music Festival.

‘We’ve moved the Festival from December to April to coincide with Harboursound,’ said Great Southern Wine Producers’ Association (GSWPA) Executive Officer John Gates, ‘this should give both Festivals a better chance of sustainability and help to turn autumn in the Great Southern into a really exciting Festival season’.

‘With Harboursound concerts and workshops and GSWPA member satellite events scheduled over the whole weekend, this will be a great weekend to be in Albany’, he said.

The Festival will be held in and around a large marquee on the Grassy Knoll in central Albany on Sunday 18 April. Details are available from www.greatsouthernwines.com.au.
