Aunty Di’s Wish was to ride the Wheel of Brisbane and have a BBQ at Southbank with her family
Aunty Di’s wish was simply to ride the iconic Wheel of Brisbane and enjoy a family BBQ at South Bank, surrounded by the people she loves most.
The day was filled with laughter, connection, and beautiful moments. One of the highlights was seeing Aunty Di’s delight when she received her teddy bear and knitted blanket. It was wonderful to watch her relax and enjoy quality time with her family and friends.
A special moment came before the ride, when Aunty Di sat quietly in the sunshine, watching her grandchildren play nearby. As the children laughed and explored, a few curious water dragons kept a watchful eye on the group, creating a peaceful and memorable scene. It was a beautiful reflection of what the day was all about: family, connection, and sharing precious moments together.
