The greatest use of life is to spend it for something that outlasts it

"The greatest use of life is to spend it for something that outlasts it" -- William James

For me that is the creation of Caitlin's Retreat. A special place for special families, approximately 15km from the CBD of Melbourne. Caitlin's Retreat opened in 2009 and a number of families have enjoyed the serenity of Caitlin's Retreat.

There is a growing number of families booked in for the early part of the New Year.

We have now, thanks to the support of Variety, built a wonderful playground. The reflection pond which now incorporates a sheltered cabana to relax beneath, has been fenced.

Throughout 2010, we plan to finish a large deck at the front of the main house, add some more livestock to our two friendly sheep and begin some very exciting programs on site for special needs children and their families.
