One
Hectare of land forms Cockscomb Veterans Bush Retreat. Had
it not been for Bruce Acutt RIP and his dedication
it would not exist. Bruce Acutt was a local Consultant Psychologist.
Cockscomb was part of a parcel of land originally called Cockscomb
and owned by Bruce and his wife.
Cockscomb
has been on the go since July 1997, built by Veterans and
other volunteers and it is now open to all Veterans and Serving
Members of all Defence Forces and their Families and to all
First Responders, Emergency Services and their families and
the more you use it the better it will be.
Don’t
think that because you haven’t had any input into the
construction that you don’t have a place in the Cockscomb
community.
Local
Veterans or visiting Veterans, and Emergency Services are
ALL most welcome to visit, stay over night, or stay for a
maximum of 5 days or make arrangements with the Caretaker.
