Why volunteer?

With busy lives, it can be hard to find time to volunteer. However, the benefits of volunteering can be enormous. Volunteering offers vital help to people in need, worthwhile causes, and the community, but the benefits can be even greater for you, the volunteer. The right match can help you to find friends, connect with the community, learn new skills, and even advance your career.

Giving to others can also help protect your mental and physical health. It can reduce stress, combat depression, keep you mentally stimulated, and provide a sense of purpose. While it’s true that the more you volunteer, the more benefits you’ll experience, volunteering doesn’t have to involve a long-term commitment or take a huge amount of time out of your busy day. Giving in even simple ways can help those in need and improve your health and happiness.

1. Volunteering connects you to others.

2. Volunteering is good for your mind and body.

3. Volunteering can advance your career.

4. Volunteering brings fun and fulfilment to your life.

COVID-19 VACCINATION

How in-home and community aged care recipients and workers can get a COVID-19 vaccination

Information current as at 28 April 2021

The Australian Government is making it possible for older Australians and in-home and community aged are workers to get vaccinated quickly and safely.

There are currently two safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines available. AstraZeneca and Pfizer vaccines. Both vaccines are highly effective at preventing death and severe illness among people who contract COVID-19.

People receiving in-home & community care, and workers providing aged care services, will be offered a COVID-19 vaccine in line with the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation recommendations.

People aged 50 years and over will receive the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine.

People aged under 50 years will receive the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine.

All people aged 70 years and over are able to get a vaccine now. People aged 50-69 years will be able to get a vaccine:

from 3 May 2021 at GP respiratory clinics from 17 May 2021 at GP’s

Frequently asked questions

I’m not sure whether to get the vaccine, how can I decide?

While the COVID-19 vaccine is not mandatory, it is strongly recommended—especially for vulnerable Australians and those who care for them.

When you decide to receive a vaccine it’s important you understand the benefits and risks associated with both: Receiving the vaccine, and Not receiving the vaccine.

It is also important that you are aware of side effects that may occur. Understanding these benefits and risks can help you to make an informed decision.

7

If you’re unsure, it’s a good idea to speak with your GP or other health professional.

Why are people 50 years and over receiving the AstraZeneca vaccine?

The risk of serious illness from COVID-19 far outweighs the potential risk of side effects from the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine.

This is particularly the case for Australians aged 50 and over, who are far more vulnerable to severe impacts from COVID-19 than in young healthy people.

It’s important to know that the AstraZeneca vaccine: Is highly effective at preventing death and severe illness among

people who have contracted COVID-19 The incidence of the blood-clotting syndrome is very rare.

I am aged 50 years or over, can I wait longer and get the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine?

Access to any COVID-19 vaccine approved for use in Australia is prioritised, ensuring those at greatest risk are vaccinated first.

Specific vaccines will be administered based on availability and clinical guidance on appropriate vaccines for people.

Can I get a flu vaccine at the same time as a COVID-19 vaccine?

It is recommended you wait 14 days between getting a flu vaccine and a COVID-199 vaccine. It is important to plan for both vaccinations. Your flu vaccination should occur: 14 or more days before your first Pfizer dose 14 or more days after your second (and final) Pfizer dose 14 or more days before or after your first AstraZeneca dose 14 or ore days before or after your second (and final) AstraZeneca

dose.

Waltzing Matilda—The story behind the song!

The bust ballad Waltzing Matilda is considered the unofficial national anthem of Australia. The background story to the song is quite intriguing.

The Background

In 1894 there was an industrial dispute and the sheep shearers went on strike. During the course of the strike, the woolshed at Dagworth station was set on fire killing over a hundred sheep. The owner, Bob Macpherson, and three policemen gave chase to one of the arsonists. He resisted capture and instead shot and killed himself at the local waterhole.

A few months later Banjo Patterson was visiting Dagworth Station and the McPherson family. Bob Macpherson told him the tory and it made an impression on him. When Bob Mcpherson’s sister Christina played him an old celtic folk tune called the Craigilee March, Banjo was inspired to set it to lyrics using the story of the swagman who killed himself rather than lose his freedom. And so the Waltzing Matilda was created.

However, there is another version of the story…

The Scandal

An alternative version recounts that Banjo was visiting Dagworth with his fiancé of eight years, Sarah Riley. Sarah’s best friend Christina Macpherson sat down at a zither—a flat-stringed instrument—and played a Scottish ditty called The Craigielee March. Banjo was immediately taken by the tune—and, it would seem, with Christina. He wrote the lyrics to the song that would become Waltzing Matilda, as Christina played the tune over and over. Their affair became a scandal and the engagement was called off. Both Sarah and Christina were left broken hearted and neither ever married.

Terminology

Swag—A rolled up blanket, containing personal belongings Waltzing—Wandering (The swagman waltzes as he looks for work) Billabong—A waterhole formed when rainwater is high Coolibah tree—A type of Eucalyptus that grows near rivers in Australia Billy—A pot, bucket or a can with a handle used to boil water Jumbuck— Sheep Tucker bag—A container for hunter game and other food Squatter—Landowner

23

Waltzing Matilda Lyrics

The song is about an itinerant labourer (swagman) - who wanders through towns looking for work. Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong Under the shade of a Coolibah tree And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled, “You’ll come a Waltzing Matilda with me” Down came a jumbuck to drink at the billabong Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee And he sang as he stowed that jumbuck in his tucker bag “You’ll come a Waltzing Matilda with me” Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda You’ll come a Waltzing Matilda with me And he sang as he stowed that jumbuck in his tucker bag “You’ll come a Waltzing Matilda with me” Down came the squatter mounted on his thorough-bred Up came the troopers one, two, three “Whose that jolly jumbuck you’ve got in your tucker bag? You’ll come a Waltzing Matilda with me”

How to Play Suduko

Sudoku is a puzzle involving logic - no arithmetic or guessing is required! The basic idea of completing puzzles is to find cells (the small squares) where you are sure that only one value is a valid placement.

The Basics

The rules of Sudoku are that you should fill a number in to every cell in the grid, using the numbers 1 to 9. The restriction is that you can only use each number once in each row, each column, and in each of the 3 x 3 boxes.
