  St. Lawrence Park Retirement Village: A Lively Challenge for a Sprightly Escapee
  
  In the endless game of cat-and-mouse between my family and me, St. Lawrence Park Retirement Village was the latest pawn in their perennial attempt to lock me away for "my own safety." Little did they know, I, an indomitable 73-year-old seasoned escape artist, was always several steps ahead. Armed with training from a "Sensei" in Kyoto, a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and a lock-picking dexterity that would give David Blaine a run for his money, the unsuspecting staff at St. Lawrence stood little chance against my cunning.
  
  A banal room with the incessant drone of Seven News and a senile companion was my new theatre of operations. The staff locked us in after every meal, an ostensible safety measure but a call to arms for me. Taking a leaf from the ingenious Andy Dufresne of Shawshank Redemption, my escape plan began to take shape.
  
  The moment of reckoning came during supper. A crafty substitute of pillows, my clothes, and my signature pork pie hat lay under the covers, presenting the illusion of a slumbering septuagenarian. I, meanwhile, clung to the ceiling, blending with the shadows. The nurse entered, distracted by my decoy. But, unlike my well-executed rehearsals, I landed with a slight thud. She turned, startled, but not before I quickly deployed my lock-picking expertise. With a swift maneuver, I turned the tables, locking her in, and slipping out into the hallway.
  
  After a heart-racing dash to Lara train station, I boarded the next train to Southern Cross station, a sense of triumph rising in me. My latest escape was not just an adventure, but a testament to my unbowed spirit, refusing to be confined by my family's well-intentioned but misguided attempts to cage me. St. Lawrence Park Retirement Village, for giving me another thrilling chapter in my ongoing odyssey, I give you a hearty 4/5 stars.

  There is not enough support/assistance for the residents. Rental tenants paying council rates which is disgraceful! Over the past few years this place has been going downhill :(
