  • Evangeline Colombus
    People of OPH 14 June 2022 Evangeline Colombus has been at OPH for nearly 36 years, an anniversary she will celebrate on New Year’s Eve 2022. Evangeline is the Administrative Assistant in Engineering and has held roles in many departments at OPH. She says, “This year I have been here for 36 years! My children were 2 and 5 when I started and now they are grown adults and I have a grandson.” When she started in Catering (Hotel Services at the time) at OPH on the 31st of December 1986, Evangeline had arrived six weeks earlier as an emigrant from New Zealand. She had previously worked in the same role in the spinal unit at Burwood Hospital in Christchurch and loved it so much that she immediately applied to OPH when she arrived in Australia. Evangeline says, “I applied as soon as I arrived, and I was so excited to start! I was a tea lady up on the wards and I loved it, it was great. The people ...

  • Lightning bolts in the sky
    Embrace Makuru Season 27 May 2022 Makuru is a polarising season; it has its passionate lovers and haters. But whichever camp you fall in, there is no stopping the chilly tide. Submission and embrace is what the doctor orders for the coming cozy months. Appropriately represented by the icey palette of blue, Makuru is the coldest and wettest season of the Nyoongar calendar. Driving glacial winds north from our Antarctic neighbour, dramatic Thor-esque sky shows and churning oceans, traditionally the Nyoongar people would retreat from the coast to take mia mia (shelter) inland by the kaarla (fire). The knock-on effect was a change in food-sources from seafood to the rich land-grazing animals such as kangaroo, which not only provided the protein sustenance for cold months but also the warmth of their skins to be used as bookas (blankets). Never to be wasted, even the kangaroo bones were carved into hunting tools such as gidji...
