What? Easter you say? It feels like we’ve just survived Christmas yet the hot-cross buns are already hitting the shelves. Here at AMS we think of it less like fast-tracking the year and more like being organised and ahead of the game. Particularly when planning your activities for our first big holiday of the year. Easter is a time for new beginnings and experiences, time spent to cherish with our family.
Our beautiful sunburnt country has copped a battering, a Christmas season charred by some of the most catastrophic bushfires our history has seen. As the slow recovery continues, hopefully Easter will be a time of renewal for those affected. Our Aussie towns need our help, so if you do get a chance to escape the city over Easter, take your empty eskies to some of these amazing areas to help our resilient fellow Aussie’s get back on their feet.
