Tamara’s wish was to have a picnic at Burleigh Heads with a seafood pizza

To feel the warmth and love of our family and friends as they gather around us, discussing our shared memories, connections, and experiences, is a privilege that many of us take for granted. For Tamara, the opportunity to have a picnic in the company of her family and friends, on the beautiful Burleigh Headland was one she was very much looking forward to.

As the warm rays of sunlight shone down over the crystal-clear waters of Burleigh Beach, an elegant picnic awaited Tamara, complete with balloons, her favourite seafood pizza and custom made cake. Many of Tamara’s family and friends, including daughter Georgia, mother Sue, and best friend Andrea, came to together to shower her in love and celebrate their time together.

“I’ve had the most amazing day. Everything was wonderful. It was the best gift to be able to see everyone and enjoy their company,” said Tamara. Everyone came together to spend time with Tamara and create memories to last forever.

Thank you to our wonderful wish team Bethany, John, Vlad and Rina for fulfilling this last wish and Nathan Hughes Photography for creating memories forever for their loved ones.
