Kevron, an indigenous disability ambassador, and very active community member has produced some unique Christmas gifts inspired by caring for his lizard, Rhango. Among the wares include food for native birds and reindeer, and cards and calendars.

The creations are for sale at the Base Café, where owner Lisa Perry tells us buyers have the chance to meet Kevron - 'a ray of light' - who will be there daily to say g'day. 

Andy reminisces he and Kevron's involvement in Footy for Life.

We hear from Lisa about how COVID lockdown affected hospitality in Alice Springs, and she is working her way towards recovery with flexibility, ingenuity, and by thinking outside the box, keeping community safe along the way.

Lisa speaks of 8CCC's partnership with the Base Cafe to host evening music events in 2023, and ways she can support community artists.
