Finding a sense of community has always felt like an uphill battle for me.

As a kid my parents made a community for me, they chose the people who surrounded me. I was lucky enough that these people were wonderful and kind. As I got older, it became more and more up to me. It’s somewhat of a daunting task, trying to find ‘my people’  and to form my own lasting sense of belonging and community.

It’s very common for teenagers to feel isolated and to feel like they have no one there for them. We were all physically isolated from one another for a couple of years here in Victoria. It may not be talked about much, but it has left a lasting dent in a lot of young peoples’ mental health and sense of self.

This feeling of chronic isolation is especially common among autistic teenagers, like myself. Missing social cues and not understanding jokes is only a small part of this. It can feel like I’m separate, or ‘other’. I can get left behind in conversations and social situations and at times I have felt that my voice doesn’t matter.

After being diagnosed last year and feeling a mix of emotions, the strongest emotion was one of relief. And in the weeks that followed I started to feel a new sense of community through reading stories of other autistic people, reminding me that I was never truly alone in my experiences. I realised I was never in the wrong for being the way I am, a realisation has been both life-changing and encouraging.

Since then, I have found community in several unlikely places. I have an Instagram page for my frog plushie and the interactions from kind-hearted people from around the world brings me happiness and connection. I have started roller skating and my teacher and peers have supported me to try new things.

Through all this I have even found a stronger bond with my friends at school which has helped me significantly. I know my challenges with finding community aren’t over, but I will keep trying to meet new people and expand my social circle.

I now know I can do it and I am proud of how far I have come.

Just before Christmas 2022, our new neighbours invited the entire street to a Christmas BBQ at their home. Everyone, all 40 households, kids, mums, dads. 

We have been a fractured community for some time with an elderly neighbour needing some additional support and causing issues, which we handled well, but was a rough time getting those supports in. Then the pandemic hit. There was even a few house fires,  and then flooding and with all the other things that have hit over the last few years - we really needed to reconnect.

At this Xmas party: We sat and chatted and shared neighbourly history over a constant supply of food, beverage and laughs.

This beautiful neighbour:  had somehow found out the dietary requirements of each person attending and had vegan, gluten free, dairy free and other options available.

Children and dogs played at our feet whilst we shared human warmth, food and celebration.

This neighbour works in finance, I'm sure they knew already that the cost of living was going to go up, so I think they decided to fill our tanks before the next hardship hit.  They did!

Later that day, as neighbours we created a WhatsApp group where we actually now reach out to each other for help, for laughs, and in an emergency.

When the Westpac helicopter landed near us a few weeks ago, clearly helping one of our own, we were ready to help that neighbour with food parcels and support as her husband was taken to the emergency rooms in Sydney.   

It’s amazing how a great neighbour can make everyone's lives better.  I remember that when they moved in, they bought a bottle of wine and chocolates to the neighbours either side to 'welcome them to the neighbourhood'.   

If I win this story competition I will be using the money to create a community garden for our lovely little street, dedicated to continuing the work of my lovely neighbourhood and further building our resilience.

'Positive Larapinta' initiative in Alice Springs NT

Over recent months some local residents of Larapinta have been chatting about starting a residents’ group to work towards developing some more positive initiatives for the community that we live in and love.

We met together for the first time recently and talked about the things we might be able to do to connect more as a community.

There have been some challenging things happening in Alice Springs in recent months and our aim as a group is to reach out to connect with others from all walks of life and help build a more inclusive community starting where we are.

As a start, we began a list all of the things that we thought were community assets or existing positive things about Larapinta. We came up with an initial list of 22 things – and this list will keep on growing.

We also want to run some events in the near future to start people on board with this initiative.

We are having a social gathering on an upcoming Friday night, at a local Pizza Place, where we will encourage local residents to come down and have a yarn with other locals and spend some time planning another event for the last Sunday in March for Neighbour Day in Larapinta.

We are excited about local people getting involved to help shape their community.

Here are some of the list of the Positive Things about Living in Larapinta (in no particular order)

  • The People – Friendly place
  • Albrecht Oval
  • Community Hall (at Albrecht Oval)
  • No bottleshop in Larapinta
  • Neighbour Day Events in Lyndavale Park and in Larapinta streets (since 2014)
  • Larapinta Child and Family Centre 
  • Some fantastic Initiatives happen here including support for young parents, an upgrade to the local Lyndavale Park and a Chalk Art Program – and the soon to happen: ‘Stickers for Bins and Bus Shelters’ initiative which will have positive messages involving input from local kids and parents
  • The Bikes Mwerre program – with the seed for the idea coming from a parent at the Larapinta Child and Family Centre 
  • The view of Mt Gillen and the McDonnell Ranges
  • The local schools
  • Afghan Mosque
  • Bike Track from Araluen to Desert Park and Flynn’s Grave
  • Wonderful walks hills and drain areas of Larapinta
  • Social Gathering space and friendly staff at the local Larapinta shop
  • Great pizzas at Pizza Shop

No matter where I have lived, I have always taken the time to connect and care for my neighbours.

Ten months ago, however, I became homeless and since then have been living in my car.

With Neighbourhood Day soon approaching, 26th March, I have been looking for ways to bring a sense of neighbourhood and belonging to the many homeless people I meet each day.

Recently, while at the laundromat, I began to question where I myself belonged, and if, in fact, I belong anywhere.

Then I noticed an envelope sitting on the counter.  I opened it to find a card inside saying “you belong to something extraordinary”.  That was the answer I needed.

The next morning, I woke up to find a lady at my car window greeting me.  “I hope you don’t mind but I’ve been praying for you to find a home.  Here’s my phone number if you want to have coffee sometime”.

Five minutes later another couple came by and said they were also praying for me and wanted my phone number.  Half an hour later, I got a text with information that their church had free breakfasts and that they had brought me a breakfast pack, but I had already left.

Everyone at my local club also watches over me in many special ways.

With gratitude for amazing, caring strangers, I realized the importance of each one of us, being neighbourly towards each other.  It is this connection that can lead us to a greater sense of belonging, improve our mental and physical well-being and reduce loneliness.

It gives us the strength and resilience to go on and face our external pressures.

Living in a world where being neighborly is declining, I find myself being grateful for my new amazing neighbors that I meet on my journey.  Strangers who take the time to care and watch over those in need.  Strangers with a golden heart.

I invite you to be one of those strangers to take the time to connect with existing and new neighbors and to build the community you want to live, and belong to.

As the saying goes, “How many light bulbs does it take to change the world?”  That depends on how many of us change one light bulb and change ourselves.

And, yes, we all belong to something far more extraordinary than we can ever imagine.  Be that change!

I moved to Modbury North in 2013. I didn’t have a social network in the local area after growing up and then renting in different parts of Adelaide. If I had known of the sense of community in the northeastern suburbs, I would have moved here a lot sooner!

Soon after moving here, we started receiving knocks at the door from neighbours bearing bags of home-grown fruit. Over the years, conversations with neighbours in the street progressed to inviting them over for cups of tea to celebrating each other’s birthdays and religious festivals. The orange, peach and apricot drops prompted me to start raised-bed vegetable gardening. Now I am a proud part of the street’s fresh produce-sharing circuit.

I find my relationships with my neighbours very fulfilling and sometimes find myself wondering how many other nice people are in the area that I haven’t yet had the opportunity to meet.

One day, while pondering potential local connections, I decided it was time to take action. I opened the NextDoor app and created the Modbury Coffee Group.

“Who’s going to want to meet up with us for coffee?!” My partner exclaimed.

“Plenty of people,” I replied with confidence that belied my uncertainty.

The coffee group was created, and people started signing up. Our first meet had six people turn up. We have been meeting up once or twice a month in the year since the group started.

While I always enjoy meeting new people, I truly cherish our long-term attendees. Everyone has interesting stories to tell, and a different perspective on life. Some people have formed one-on-one friendships from the group. We all enjoy trying out different cafes and belonging to something special.

I have long rued the decline of community and neighbourliness that I've perceived in Australia since the 1980s (I could write at length on that evolution too). So, when I finally settled and had children in 2003 I took to working as hard as I could to rebuild just that and set a good example. Active transport plays a big role in that.

I commute to work on a bicycle, rode my daughter to school first on a child seat, then a trailer. Alone in that it drew consistent attention and commentary, whistles and cheers and questions about where to get one of those (trailer bikes) and endless jokes about a lost passenger or hitching ride (on my return ride). I've helped the Hobart Bike Kitchen for years:

I'm now walking my two boys now to their school (1.2km away, up hill, and again back, with the younger one pre-school and alone now); and I have seen over these years of walking, more and more people in the houses we pass starting to walk, we meet them and chat and get to know the neighbourhood and more and more in our block are keen to walk and doing so.

For safer walking, I lobby for better road-safety measures, have secured one traffic light upgrade and am trying to secure more local pedestrian crossings.

We have an open house. First to guests as WWOOF hosts and the on helpx.net and workaway.info, host an annual mid-winter feast, Eurovision party and Neighbour Day BBQ (as COVID permits). To help draw locals away from screens, we started hosting monthly games nights in 2004 and then founded the Hobart Games Society:  https://hogs.org.au/

In the COVID lockdown we discovered a local street library. We so enjoyed the reason it gave us, to take our boys for a walk, that post lockdown we built one: https://streetlibrary.org.au/library/montagu-street-library/

and added a walking guide and map available in paper form at the library (which has doubled in size since the streetlibrary.org.au photo went up).

Today, I help administer one of the rapidly growing Good Karma Networks and am an active lender and donor of goods (mostly tools and my ute or one of the many unwanted items I keep in store for someone who needs them) and provider of support and services (helping folk repair broken goods) to the local community on a pro bono basis.

I live in a rural community. 

One of my dogs loves to chase a ball, so I put a spare ball thrower and balls at my gate with a note inviting people to throw a ball for him if they wished.  The note has long since blown away, but Baxter (the ball dog) is now known all around the neighbourhood. People stop to play with him and end up having a chat, not just with me, but sometimes with others they may not have previously met who happen to be walking by.  

One day I was out in the yard when a car stopped at my gate.  I began walking down the driveway only to discover I didn't know the people, but they knew my dog by name and were having a ball game with him. 

Last year I put a couple of photos and a Christmas message / thank you on our local Facebook community page.  It received over a hundred "Likes" and comments from people I didn't even know saying how much they love to stop for a game on their daily walk.  

One lady has her grandchildren to stay on school holidays.  She said the highlight of their visit is to come and see Baxter and throw balls for him.  I've got to meet new people and it makes me happy that so many others get pleasure and enjoyment from my dog.  Some now refer to him as ‘Baxter, the Community Dog’.  I believe he really has brought people together in a lovely way.

My name is Mel.  I was born and bred in Tasmania with 2 brothers and a sister who were all tall, thin, and good looking.  I'm short, fat and no oil painting as I was constantly told by them.  At high school I was bullied mercilessly until the day I snapped and fought back.  I was never bullied again, but these things helped shape me into the person I am today.

My mother and grandmother were old school and religiously had their hair set at the hairdressers every Friday at 9am and I wanted to do it for them, my earliest memories are of saying I would be a hairdresser and of doing anyone's hair who would sit still long enough to let me.  On leaving high school I secured an apprenticeship in Hobart, but the chemicals from perms etc. proved too harsh and I had to stop because of dermatitis.

I was heartbroken.

I met my husband, and we came to NSW for work, and we had 4 children together.   We were married for 36 years when he died of brain cancer.

I needed something to do and was scrolling the TAFE courses online when I saw a course for fast-track hairdressing forgoing the apprenticeship and taking 2 years full time at TAFE.  I had nothing to lose, so I applied and qualified as a hairdresser at age 60.

It's not easy to get work as an overweight grey haired senior aged, ‘just qualified’, hairdresser.  So, to fill in my time I volunteered at a local homeless shelter cutting hair for free for the disadvantaged.

Best thing I ever did! In the last 4 years I have cut hair at churches, soup kitchens, rehab centres, an indigenous centre in Newcastle and in my own street.  I've never taken money off anyone. I get so much pleasure from making each person happy that after a very bad period, my life is now wonderful.  I've found my purpose.

My next project is to visit palliative patients who can't leave their home or hospital bed, but who would like a bit of a haircut to make them feel a little better, and I can't wait.

Our neighbourhood has enjoyed several years of Neighbour Day - Deckchair Sunsets social gatherings in our local Reserve - building bridges and valuable connections between residents since 2013.

It was a tentative beginning, but like a 3D jigsaw puzzle all the layers fitted together:

  • We live near a beautiful lookout and many people stress when they hear sirens, which herald a possible tragedy. As a counter-balance, could we be a supportive community next-door improving wellbeing and connection?
  • Some neighbours live on their own - could we prevent isolation and loneliness and keep them engaged?
  • A resident had encroached on public land - could we use our local greenspace constructively, so we didn’t lose it?

Lasting memories of sunsets at Cable Beach, WA, a magical time of day where people took refreshments and deckchairs down to the beach to watch the sunsets together, inspired the idea of “Deckchair Sunsets.” All the layers aligned!

An initial mail-drop enticed ten residents to meet in our local Reserve. Over the years, it evolved into gatherings of fifty people for Neighbour Days, Christmas celebrations, New Year, a Movie night, Picnics in the Park, Pizzas in the Park and High Tea.

Currently we hold two events each year – Neighbour Day and End-of-year celebrations.

Great benefits have emerged from the collective efforts of neighbours and have led to other spinoff projects:

  • Friendships forged between residents from different streets follow on to other social catch-ups too.
  • Respectful relationships, encouraged in the process of building a strong, cohesive hub, translate to supporting each other when harmony is challenged.
  • Local matters highlighted by engaging the community, e.g. support of local business or markets, security, parking, traffic, excessive building, or threats to our local national park.
  • The neighbourhood is anchored in its local greenspace - people working together to improve the amenity of The Reserve with a communal Native Garden - extending the biodiversity corridor from our local park into the community.
  • Through Covid, outdoor recreation has kept spirits buoyant, whether actively gardening, walking through, or picnicking in the neighbourhood.
  • Two independent street projects have been completed and an organic fruit and vegetable Co-op established - residents coming together to improve the neighbourhood experience.

In 2022, it’s essential to celebrate Neighbour Day, to revitalise connections and to harness opportunities, especially through Covid. We encourage Australians to host their own communal gatherings for the benefit of all. See how you’ll flourish!

We have wonderful neighbours. In the past 12 months, we have experienced 3 isolation periods for a significant length of time at home with 3 young children.

Our neighbours would continually check in on us, drop off food supplies and sometimes even ice-creams to our door to say they were thinking of us. At a time when we were so socially distant these little gestures were most appreciated.

We often conversed over the back fence from our respective balconies and allowed us to feel not so alone in what was a trying time.

I am often home bound because of my mental health, I decided to try connecting to people via Twitch. An online community live video streaming service, I soon had people from around the world dropping in to my channel and interact with me while I was streaming live. It turned out my voice is very soothing to a few people and it really helped them to sleep while I would chat away. I had created a safe space online for people to come and feel comfortable and at ease. This also allowed me to connect and socialise via online means. A community was created!

I crochet blankets for the homeless, still born babies, children, men and women who ever needs them. I do lap blankets for people who are in wheelchairs. I have made thousands over the years. I make them as colourful and happy as possible, I am on a pension and find wool quite expensive, but I put away a little bit each pension to buy wool. I get donated (wool) sometimes and that’s amazing.

Just been asked to do Perth football teams - one Dockers, one eagles for a 17 year old boy who has cancer.  I got straight on it. It makes me so happy to see someone love my work, I get excited myself. The money would be fantastic to buy some more wool. I will keep it up until I can’t do it anymore. Thank you for listening to my story.

My family moved to a beachside suburb in Adelaide’s south in 2001, the year my youngest son was born.

Like many small children he had a fascination for something, and with Liam it was wheels.

When granny was waving goodbye, Liam was fixated on her wheels as she drove off.

Wheelie bins were the greatest fun, at two and three years old, he was moving them around like an expert.

He easily mastered 3-point turns on his pedal tractor and cart.

On holiday in Melbourne, we stayed in a hotel opposite a park. We barely saw the playground because the park had a row of about twenty differently coloured wheelie bins!

I did a short stint delivering the local paper. Liam accompanied me pulling a little tin cart with the papers on board.

Having children is the best way to meet the neighbours, in particular the older, retired folk.

One woman looked out for us, so she could come out for a chat.

In this way, I became aware of the various older people in our neighbourhood and knew many of their names.

Two houses down from us was a stucco house with a magnificent old wagon wheel in the front garden. It was huge with a strong metal rim, perhaps from a bullock cart.

Of course Liam walked straight down the driveway and began to pat the wheel all over.

The owner came out (I’ll call him Bill) and told me that Liam was welcome to come and see the wheel any time.

Bill asked me in for a cup of tea and I learnt that he had some serious health issues.

We dropped in occasionally to visit, which Bill obviously enjoyed.

Within the year he was on an oxygen bottle. Although Bill had children to look in on him, I gave him my phone number and said to call if he was in need.

It was obvious Bill did not have long to live. He thanked me for caring, noting that no other neighbours spoke to him.

A few days after Bill died, his sons rolled the massive bullock wheel to our house.

“Dad always said that when he died, Liam was to have the wagon wheel”, they told us.

We didn’t do a lot for Bill, but he knew we cared.

The wheel in our front yard reminds me of the importance of love.

Through the encouragement of Neighbour Day, we reached out to our neighbours and have since built such wonderful relationships with them.  Last week my 4-year-old daughter had a go riding her bike without training wheels, and the first person she wanted to show was our elderly neighbour, Mrs Von because she would ‘be so proud of me!’ 

My mum died when I was 8 months pregnant, and Mrs Von’s youngest grandchild is now an adult.  Mrs Von has become a pseudo grandma for my children, often dropping over little gifts for them and my children baking cookies to deliver to her and dropping handmade cards in her mailbox.  It is such a beautiful relationship. 

On the other side, our neighbour is a nurse and shift-worker, and my 4 and 6-year old children regularly go over and feed her dogs if she ends up doing a double shift.  When she was isolating with Covid recently, we were able to do her grocery shopping for her, and when I’ve been unwell, she has dropped care packages at my door. 

It has become such a lovely caring community spanning multiple generations.  It feels like ‘the good old days’ where we are able to knock on each other’s doors to borrow a cup of milk or sugar, an apple for the kids’ lunches, and most recently, a roll of toilet paper or a Rapid Antigen Test!  The relationships built have meant that there’s not only a greater sense of connection and a decrease in sense of loneliness and isolation, but that there’s greater understanding and patience. 

When my children are yelling excitedly on the trampoline or throwing tantrums screaming the place down or banging doors, my elderly neighbours and shift-working nurse aren’t cranky at them, but demonstrate empathy and patience.  When my neighbour’s dogs are barking incessantly because she’s out at work and they wake my kids, we don’t get angry, as we also are able to demonstrate empathy and kindness.  When our elderly neighbour’s TV is turned up so loudly because they are going deaf and we can hear it through the walls, we don’t bang on the walls for them to turn it down, because we understand and know that they too demonstrate incredible patience with us. 

Our neighbours have become our friends and family.  Thank you Relationships Australia for promoting Neighbour Day and encouraging us to reach outside our own walls.

"Not sure if I will cut out at all during this zoom session; the storms are crazy at the moment. Are you getting the large hailstones?!"

"Not yet, but I am down in Frankston, so they will probably be here in 20minutes! I was wondering...."

Doorbell rings. "Sorry, just let me get that, I ordered some rapids online and I am hoping these are it - fingers crossed..."

I push in my wheelchair to the front door. "Oh, hi Deb! Are you okay"

"Han, there is rain and sludge leaking into the basement carpark. Quick, give me your keys and I will go move your car".

"Deb, you are a lifesaver - thank you! Could you also please move my grandpa's paintings that are in the storage section? They mean a lot given he recently passed away."

"Of course, will be back in a jiff".

Living as a person with a disability, and currently in a wheelchair given recent surgery, the support and help I have received from all my neighbours has blown my mind and melted my heart. This is just one example of many. From taking my bins down to bringing parcels to my door, to casseroles to checking in. I am so grateful. It's a legs up from this amputee.

A misty fog hung in the air, but most of the time I kept the blinds down. It gave me the illusion of safety. My compact one-bedroom apartment became both my haven and my prison.

I have panic disorder, and am awaiting a preventative mastectomy due to my high risk of breast cancer from a genetic mutation. Each Friday I would venture downstairs in the safety of the morning darkness to collect the mail.

During lockdown, I began to return the nod and smile of a neighbour. Their energy felt safe. Soon enough the fleeting exchanges grew into conversations about yoga, how hard it was to watch the news, and how we were keeping occupied.

In between lockdowns, we would visit each other and talk about the stories we were writing, music we were listening to, and the improvements we were making so that our apartments felt more like home.

On New Year’s Eve, they tested positive for Covid. My first reaction was panic, but I made the decision to help as best I could. I began to deliver a parcel to their door each day. Some days it was colouring books and pencils, other days it was crystals and body wash. But every day, it was tissues and sparkling water, because I knew they did not drink tap water.

Creating these parcels and attaching a note to them became the highlight of my day. It gave me purpose, just as much as it made them feel cared for. I was grateful to be able to help someone else, as usually I am the one receiving support.

Ten days later, they had recovered from Covid and we grew closer, as a result of experiencing this together. We continued to meet up, and have formed a close friendship, supporting each other.

For many years, I spent all of my time alone in my apartment until the kindness of my neighbour reached me, during the most isolating time in a century. Now I sometimes smile and say hello to people. I have new friendships and a better life. And it all began with their “hello.”"
