As part of her wish 90-year old Betty from Emmaus Village in Kemps Creek, NSW and her carer Debbie were taken to Birubi Beach at Anna Bay, near Port Stephens for a camel ride (pictured).
With perfect weather on call, Betty, atop the camel walked through the sand dunes, down to the beach and into the water.
Mr Maher says, in celebrating 25 years of Catholic Healthcare, “We have much to be proud of and much to look forward to.”
