sean_choolburraThe Ceduna Aboriginal community recently celebrated the changing of the guard at the local Aboriginal Health Service. Previously run by the South Australian Department of Health, the Ceduna Koonibba Aboriginal Health Service is now an Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Service.

The Live Longer! Campaign was on hand to help with the celebrations and provide the event with healthy food and refreshments throughout the day, including local stir fried calamari, satay beef and cups of hot soup.

Music was enjoyed by all, with the organisers of the event bringing together a number of local music legends from the Ceduna area.

MC, Sean Choolburra kept the crowds entertained with his comedic charm, and delivered the Live Longer! good health messages throughout the event.

As the sun set, it was clear the day had been a great success, with smiles on many faces, happy to come together to learn about how to Live Longer!
