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.

❄️ WINTER WONDERLAND 2026 ❄️

Winter Wonderland saw each of our Candidates and Junior Candidates take to the stage and share a little presentation about what brings wonder to our lives. ⛄️

There were definitely plenty of nerves in the lead-up, but I am so proud of everyone for getting up there and giving it a go. For a lot of us, this is the first time we’ve ever done anything like this. We can only learn from it, grow from it and take that confidence into the next one. 💜

A huge thank you to my wonderful sponsors, Grafton & District Funerals and Grafton Midday Rotary, for being there to support me. Having you in the room cheering me on meant so much. ✨

And to my friends, thank you for showing up for me through yet another event! Your support & encouragement for me is appreciated more than you probably realise.

Finally, to the whole team behind the Grafton Jacaranda Festival - thank you. Events like Winter Wonderland simply wouldn’t be possible without the work that happens behind the scenes. This entire candidate experience wouldn’t be the same without the dedication, inspiration, encouragement and support you all provide us. 💜

This event was held at the GDSC, so thankful for great venues that support our journey too. 🤩
