The Burdekin sub-branch of Vietnam Veterans has been busy expanding the Deep Creek Veteran Retreat with a new barbecue area to create an even more welcoming space for veterans and their families. Ten members recently gathered for a working bee at the retreat, putting in hours of effort to bring the vision of a third barbecue area closer to completion.
Don Bailey, a key organiser, shared that the team focused on extending the roof area and caring for some freshly planted trees, ensuring the area will eventually offer ample shade and a touch of greenery for visitors.
“We’re just giving those new trees plenty of water in these dry conditions,” Bailey explained.
The working bee attracted both Vietnam Veterans and associate members, part of the wider group of ex-military personnel who value the retreat as a place to relax, socialise, and connect with one another.
Deep Creek Veteran Retreat has long been cherished for its atmosphere of camaraderie, and the new barbecue area will add to this. Once completed, it will provide another setting for events, gatherings, and peaceful moments in nature, strengthening bonds within the veteran community.
The Burdekin sub-branch is grateful for the volunteers who took part in this effort, and they look forward to celebrating this latest improvement with all who visit the retreat.
