Lansdowne Gardens residents commemmorate ANZAC Day
Residents of Lansdowne Gardens today commemmorated ANZAC Day with a service held by a local minister. In attendance was resident Dr Lilley who served in the Pacific Region during World War II. He was a pilot who actively saw action with the Japanese. He enlisted for service during his medical studies, but the airforce refused him as he was more valuable in the medical profession. So he withdrew from his studies to enlist in the war as he couldn’t live with himself if he couldn’t serve his country. He was involved in attacking the Japanese Barge which was used for supplying supplies and arms and foodstores. He was shotdown in the Soemba Sea,whilst attacking a Japanese Cruiser. He was rescued and taken to Darwin by the allies. The film “30 Seconds over Tokyo” was based on the true events of America’s first retaliatory attack on Japan (which was the attacking of the Japanese Cruiser in the Soemba Sea) after the bombing of Pearl Harbour. Dr Lilley returned to Australia and continued his studies, encouraged and motivated by his wife to be, and become a renowned Orthopaedic surgeon.

Lansdowne Gardens raising awareness of dementia
As Australia’s population ages so will the number of people living with dementia. Lansdowne Gardens this week held a Dementia Awareness seminar for the local community. The guest speaker for the evening was Professor Henry Brodaty, a world reknown authority on ageing and dementia and a member of the Lansdowne Gardens Medical Advisory Board. Professor Brodaty spoke about the detection and management of dementia, the impact on carers and the trial of drugs for treatment. Professor Brodaty said that “Caring for someone with dementia can be difficult and, at times, overwhelming but there is help you can get”. In the later stages, family care may be too much for any one person to handle, and residential care is required. “This is where respite care can be very helpful”, Professor Brodaty added.
