A great morning supporting Jacaranda Festival Candidate 2026 Natalie Waterhouse at her Car Boot Sale! 🚗 💰

This is Natalie's major fundraiser for her Jacaranda campaign, and it was so great to see such a fantastic turnout. There are plenty of stalls with all sorts of different things on offer, so there's definitely something worth having a look at!

A few of my fellow candidates were there this morning too, and as you can see from the photos, we really do have such a lovely, supportive group this year. It's been so nice being able to show up and support one another throughout our Jacaranda journeys.

Well done, Natalie! 👏

Over the weekend, I was lucky enough to be surrounded by my Rotary family for Brooke’s Brunch 🧇

The sold-out event saw 40 members of Grafton Midday Rotary, along with their families and friends, come together to support me on my Jacaranda journey.

A very special thank you to Camellia, who opened up her beautiful home and hosted us for the morning, and to Camellia, Christine and Judy for preparing the most delicious food for everyone to enjoy.

Looking back at these photos, one of the things that stands out most is just how many helping hands there were. Everyone simply pitched in wherever they could, and I think that says so much about what Rotary is all about.

I remember standing out on the deck at one point, looking around at all of these people who had come along to support me, and feeling incredibly grateful. I turned to someone and said, “Isn’t it great to have a Rotary family?”

And it really is. 💜

Thank you to everyone who attended, helped, cooked, served, cleaned, organised and supported me. It was such a beautiful morning and one I’ll remember throughout my Jacaranda journey.
