SUPPORTERS of the campaign to redevelop Rosebud Hospital made their message clear at a rally on Friday (15 March) holding signs reading Frankton Too Far.
Drivers in cars, buses, trucks and ambulances tooted, honked, or flashed their lights and sirens to support the cry that the hour’s drive to Frankston is too far for people on the south end of the Mornington Peninsula when they need care. Supporters lined the road south of the hospital waving at passersby and traffic and listened to stories about people’s hospital experiences. Hospital supporter Jan Gilbert, who organised the rally, said she and others would continue to show the government that the funding for the rebuild is vital.
