Bone shaking fundraiser

There’s tons of skele-fun at Natalie Mitchell’s Williams Landing home, as the resident hopes to lift people’s spirits in the lead up to Halloween.

Every day, Ms Mitchell displays a new spooky scenario using a skeleton family.

“We change their clothes, we change the props, we change the scene, no two things are the same,” she said.

“People can walk by or drive by, they’ll see them on display, rain, hail, or shine, between 8[am] and 7[pm].”

Last year, Ms Mitchell aimed to raise $500 for the Royal Children’s Hospital’s Good Friday Appeal and with the help of the community, managed to raise $8000.

“The whole idea is that they [the skeletons] are essentially drawing the interest of the people in the lead up to Halloween, and then on Halloween night we actually invite the community to actually go through out arrangement,” she said.

“This year we’ll be doing a Jurassic Park theme.

“We’re raising funds for local charity the Wyndham Health Foundation and we are aiming to raise at least a third of the funds needed for a Corpuls CPR device, we’re aiming for $10,000.”
