Flashback to one of our favourite Dream Experiences!! ๐
A few years ago, Young Carer, Riley, spent the day with @reptileencounters and got up close and personal with his favourite reptiles. Reptile Encounters taught him all about these slippery, slimy and incredible creatures and how to care for them - and he also picked up his very own Bearded Dragon from them, called Dexter! ๐ฆ
We're pleased to report that Riley and Dexter are still going very strong. Hereโs some before and after photos of the two! ๐ #LDDreamBig

Monday's Holiday Program in VIC was all about SPORT! โฝ๏ธ๐Dressed in our favourite sporting teams' colours, we were joined on Zoom by all sorts of inspiring athletes across cricket, AFL, netball and rowing! ๐
We completed an epic workout with Australian netball player Julie Corletto, took a tour of the Australian Institute of Sport facilities, had a ball with AFLW North Melbourne players Emma Kearney and Kaitlyn Ashmore, and even had a special message for Young Carer, Xavier, from Marty Gleeson of Essendon. Swipe across to watch it unfold!
Thanks to all those who dropped into the session! We had an absolute BLAST! ๐ #LDDreamBig
