Don's rolling up his sleeves and saving lives
24 June 2019 | by Halcyon Glades
With flu season underway, the Australian Red Cross is appealing for more people to donate blood as many of their regular donors are sidelined by the dreaded lurgy. One Halcyon home owner is certainly doing his bit to help.
Halcyon Glades newcomer Don Young is a life saver, but not the kind you see at the beach.
The 67-year-old saves lives simply by rolling up his sleeve twice a month, sitting back and giving blood at the Australian Red Cross.
“For me, it’s just something that I do for somebody else,” he said.
Don recently donated for the 350th time saying the experience ...

Green Thumbs are going bananas in Halcyon Parks’ garden
03 June 2019 | by Halcyon Parks
From aubergines to zucchinis, the Green Thumb Gardeners almost have the alphabet covered when it comes to the fruit and vegies they produce at Halcyon Parks. Ranging from the traditional to the exotic, their community garden is so extensive that it’s more a question of what they don’t grow.
Aside from the usual lettuces, tomatoes, lemons and oranges, the Green Thumbs produce chillies, bok choy, Chinese cabbage, Tahitian limes, feijoas, cherry guavas and Jaboticaba (Brazilian grapes), to name just a few. They grow three types of bananas, and the Cavendish variety are doing so well that the gardeners have recently picked ...
