Mike and I want to acknowledge all the friends who have helped us so far, particularly those who braved the dangerous conditions during the fire period this week.
They worked in a very hot conditions where the ground was very hot, trees were still falling down and logs wer still burning and smoke was thick.
- Andy Ray from Boggy ck Vineyards who came over to be with me on the friday night as the fire advanced and put out spot fires in the paddock.
- Rob Harrison and Lou Mc Fadden who came on saturday to rebuild fences for the sheep, keep watch, and allowed us to get a few hours much needed sleep
- Anthony and Roze Griffiths who came on sunday to continue the fencing tasks.
- Trisha and Bill Scott who also came sunday and brought fire fighting pumps and patrolled the property putting out smoking trees. Trisha also was there at the end of the phone each day to allow me to burble on about it all.
- Rick Sinclair and Wendy Batey who came over monday and fenced in the morning and unexpectedly kept watch with me when the second fire started.
And finally a thanks to you all who are reading this and have sent your wishes and protective energies to us. Its overwhelming to know that so many people care about us.
Working bees
We are starting with the cleanup and fixup as from monday and would welcome any help if you want a day or two out. There are lots of different jobs to do, even to do the normal stuff like cocky patrol so we can get on with the other things. Having people here has proven to be a real boost for our morale too.
but be aware that conditions are still a bit yucky.
