For Malcolm, a life-long fisherman, spending the morning casting a line off the Wynnum Jetty was what mattered most for his last wish. Even the wind and the looming chance of rain, didn’t affect the peaceful moments Malcom enjoyed whilst slowly winding in the reel. When asked by the Ambulance Wish Queensland Team if fishing was a matter of patience or skill, he quickly responded “Skill? What’s that?”  

And what better way to finish off a fishing trip than sharing fish and chips whilst overlooking the bay.  

Thank you to our wonderful wish team John, Vlad and Jo for fulfilling this last wish and Ange Costes Photography for creating forever memories. 

Thank you to our service partner Metro South Hospital and Health Service – Wynnum Manly Palliative Care Unit on this special occasion.
