I heard the manager of Feros Aged Care Village speak on the radio on 11 May and I was pissed off that she (and whoever) is still going ahead in turfing out the poor residents who live there.
Good old George Feros would be turning in his grave, so to speak, because of the events taking place at Feros Village where he used to go in 1979–80 (when I first arrived in Byron Bay).
George was a great bloke and he would walk around in the pubs ringing his bell and we would donate to his cause – the establishment of the eventual Feros Village – named in his honour.
Shame Feros management for what you are doing to the village and the poor residents who live there.
Shame, shame, shame.
