What’s
happening
at DCO
Tindal?
Our Family Liaison Officer Debbie
recently challenged the Tindal
Defence community to get creative
and build Lego creations to submit to
our Brick by Brick Challenge. We had
three categories that included children,
family and single members/couples.
Some very imaginative entries
were received, which made it very
difficult for Chaplain Andrew to judge
our winners. However, in true military
style he dug deep and came up with
a great group of creative submissions
that were all awarded a Lego prize.
DCO Tindal are also compiling
the recipes for the cookbook and
NT camping guide with assistance
from our Defence families. We have
had some great contributions on the

best places to fish and camp and some
fabulous recipes that are easy to make
whilst out and about. The book will
be available to all our members and
families and at our Welcome activities
in 2021.
We have our Father’s Day cake
decorating activity coming up, as
well as our Tindal Rock Art Garden
project where members, families and
children will to decorate pavers and
river rocks to be placed in our ‘My
time at Tindal, members and families
garden’. Stay tuned to the next edition
of the Top Ender for some great
images of our activities.
Planning is also underway for our
DCO Tindal school holiday activity,
from Junk to Funk: Recycled Art
Sculpture. Children will be challenged
to build a sculpture from recycled
boxes, bottles and household packaging
with assistance from a parent.
All participants will get to take home a
nature craft kit to build at home.
We are also still hosting regular
Coffee Conversations and lunch in
Katherine eateries at which members
and families relax and enjoy the
company of others. It’s also a great time
to ask about the support and services
DCO provides, connect with others and
share some of those tips.
