📢 The Mental Heal

MHACA's Day Program offers participants the chance to hit the road, explore some local sights and enjoy good company.

This time, the group headed to Aileron Roadhouse, an iconic outback stop on the Stuart Highway north of Alice Springs.

Aileron is home to the famous 17-metre-tall Aboriginal warrior statue overlooking the landscape, along with a companion sculpture of a woman and child.

Participants enjoyed a relaxing meal, some dancing to the jukebox and a friendly game of pool.

It was a great day out and about.
