Out + about: a terrific day in Kingsford Smith

01 December 2010

The wet weather didn't stop me having a terrific day out and about in Kingsford Smith.

After the announcement, I joined some students and teachers in a quick game of cricket.

Hearing the stories of how these well-built, federally funded units have changed residents lives was uplifting.

I appreciated the generosity of the resident who allowed us to into her unit because of the heavy rain.
