Looking forward, looking back

 

Whilst we’re busy busy busy baking and delivering biscuits, let’s take a look at some early Anzac bakes…

About 40 years ago, before Aurora, there was Cosmos. 

And yes, even then Anzac biscuits were a part of the organisation. 

Here’s Keir Smith all those years ago baking biscuits 

from the very same recipe that is being used today.

Early Aurora days: Lorraine and Joy in the upstairs kitchen

at Mill Lane which is now an admin area,
baking more of the same delicious biscuits.

Jessica, remembered fondly by all who knew her,
also during an early Anzac bake.

 

And then...we walk into this building each day and get to work. But just what did it look like in the early days?

The video below was created specifically for, and shown to guests at the 2007 Autumn Twilight Appeal Dinner and Auction.

Aside from it being a reminder of our past and how far we've come, it also showcases the power and results of ongoing fundraising activities over many years. 

These days the Anzac bake is Aurora’s major fundraising opportunity each year, and all monies raised go towards the ongoing quality programmes and activities our organisation provides for people with disabilities. We’d like to thank each and every one of you for your continued support, be it selling, or helping to bake the biscuits we make each year.
