A big thanks to the fantastic team at Warner Bros Movie World on the Gold Coast. The children at the Gold Coast Hospital have smiles on their faces from ear to ear.

Very few kids could make it to the studio on the night however Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck made their way around the ward visiting each and every child at least twice.

Bugs had a few issues with his ears and the curtain rails but by the end of the night he was ducking under the rails with ease. The Radio Lollipop volunteers were also in awe of the cuddly characters and they also received their fare share of cuddles.

You could feel the difference in the children’s ward after the visit, it was definitely a more positive atmosphere in the ward post visit and that can only translate to the kids getting better quicker.

We sincerely thank Brooke Skeen from Movie World on the Gold Coast for facilitating this visit and we would definitely love to have you back again sometime soon.

The time simply flew by when the Funky Friday team were paid a visit by Vlad, Dan, Kyle and Mel from the Royal Australian Airforce at Amberley.

The kids and parents had a great time hearing about the everyday life of a pilot in the airforce and the planes they operate. They also got to hear about some of the other exciting jobs that you can do in the Airforce, like being a photographer.

They brought along bags of goodies including RAAF teddy bears, yoyos, notepads, t-shirts and stickers which resulted in lots of happy faces and smiles from the kids. They also left a special bear with some Mater bear friends in the 7th floor wards for the nurses to enjoy.

Thanks for Vlad and the crew for their continued support of Radio Lollipop at the Mater Children’s Hospital. The kids look forward to your visits (and so do the volunteers!)
