I was eating a meal at chat thai at around 6:30pm on the 4th of May 2017. When I got up to pay my bill, the waitress told me that a loyal customer by the name of Andrew has paid for my meal!! Such a simple act totally made my day after a long day at work. I was so encouraged by his kindness!

Realising my wallet was missing, I eventually retraced my steps to the self-serve laundry on Alison Road where I had done my washing earlier in the day. The owner (I don't know his name) had found it on the bench and held it for me safe behind the counter. All contents present and he wouldn't accept a reward. I now have a washing machine but I still go out of my way to give him business whenever I can.
On the same note, my partner lost his phone while running in Waverley Cemetery last weekend. Fearing the worst, he ran... Continue reading

Here on a family holiday from Littleton, Co. Tipperary, Ireland I attended a gardening course at Randwick Community Centre on Monday last. On leaving the centre around midday I had intended walking back to Judge Street where I am residing with my daughter Joana and son-in-law Conor. A large gardeners truck was parked at Bundock Street and I made enquiries with the owner who was finishing his lunch as to the shortest route to Judge Street. Having heard my accent and commented that he would willingly do a favour for an Irishman he offered to drive me home.On the way... Continue reading

I purchased overseas currency at Eastgardens (AU$120) and thought I had put the new currency and receipt in my pocket (I hadn’t!). A lady and gentleman found it and returned it to the money exchange booth in Eastgardens. They didn’t leave their details so I hope they read this and realise how grateful I am for their honesty and kindness.

While sitting with my daughter who was recovering from routine surgery I overheard a conversation at Prince of Wales Hospital between a Breast Care Nurse and a young women who had just had surgery for breast cancer. The young woman spoke of how difficult she found moving around with the drain still in the wound - it was awkward to carry around. The BCN told her that they used to have sewing group that made a carry bag for the drains but the group no longer were able to supply the bags. A month later I contacted the wonderful BCNs...

Might I suggest you change the title to "Randwick (Random) Acts of Kindness". Would be more 'eyecatching'!

There's a Facebook group called "Eastern Beaches Freebies (Sydney) that I'm part of and I see acts of kindness multiple times a day! I have requested and received many things from the group, and in return have also contributed where I can. It's a great community vibe! https://www.facebook.com/groups/564311820256713/

Earlier this week my 90 year old mother, supported by her walking frame, was checking her unsuccessful Lotto ticket in Randwick Shopping Centre when a lovely nearby man intervened to place in her hand a Lotto ticket just for her.
It was a completely altruistic act made all the more beautiful by pausing further for a friendly exchange of words. Before taking off into the busy streetscape my mother assured him that she would find him in the event of her winning and he replied 'Oh, there would be no need for that.'
This warm and delightful expression of humanity... Continue reading

Randwick Council staff do an excellent job keeping Coogee Beach clean and free of litter. In addition, almost everyday at sunrise, one of our good community minded residents walks along the edge of the beach and picks up pieces of rubbish and places them in the bin. This makes the beach beautiful and a delight for all users. A big thanks to this person and the many others who contribute to keeping Coogee Beach pristine.

Some weeks ago I fell from the pavement outside the Randwick Ritz and hit my head on a large piece of concrete (chicane?) on the road. I was bleeding profusely and had broken my glasses. A very lovely young woman came to my aid, took me to the cinema ladies room and helped to stem the bleeding. She then insisted on driving me to the hospital, as being a nurse thought I needed a stitch. She wouldn't allow me to give her some money but took my phone number so I could buy her a coffee when she was in... Continue reading
