Forresters Beach Retirement Village

A friendly reminder about the upcoming Australia-wide test of the new AusAlert emergency warning system.

On Monday, 27 July, compatible mobile devices across Australia will receive a test emergency alert. This is a planned national test designed to help ensure the system works effectively when it is needed in a real emergency.

When the test alert is received, your mobile device may vibrate, play a loud siren-like tone and display a message clearly identifying the alert as a test. While the sound may be unexpected, there is no cause for concern.

The test alert is scheduled for:
2.00 pm (AEST) in Queensland and New South Wales
1.30 pm (ACST) in South Australia

You do not need to do anything when you receive this test alert.

AusAlert will become Australia's new emergency warning system and, in a real emergency, will be used to share important information about events such as bushfires, floods and other significant incidents.

If you have any questions or concerns about the test, please speak with the Village Office or visit https://www.ausalert.gov.au/alerts-explained/national-test for more information.

My book pile! Village Manager by day, bookworm by night. I have just finished The Hobit and The Correspondent is my current read. I plan to work my way through this stack for rest of the year, no doubt to grow taller with recommendations, bookstore browsing and little side of the road libraries.
Question… If you don’t like a book in the first few chapters do you persevere and suffer through to the end or jump to the next book?
Feel free to post photos of your book pile…….
Happy reading, Julie Xo

There’s something special about the way the sun rises and sets over the Village. A gentle reminder to slow down, breathe deeply and enjoy the beauty of a brand-new day. Mornings and evenings like these are just one of the many reasons our residents love calling Forresters Beach home. Photos courtesy of Chris F.

The Photography Display Board has now been updated with this month’s beautiful new collection of photographs, featuring the theme: “Leaves” 🍃

This month’s winning print was captured by Rob at the Sydney Botanical Gardens, although the mystery remains… what type of tree does the leaf belong to? 🤔
Perhaps some of our knowledgeable residents may be able to help identify it!

🗳 Voting for the 𝐏𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞’𝐬 𝐂𝐡𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝 has also now commenced, so be sure to stop by, take a look and cast your vote.
