Saturday. A clear sky, so it should be warm and dry at the Farmer's Market in Stroud. I'm there for the hospice, to try and sign people up to the Hospice Lottery. It's a good fund raiser. I'll do a bit of shoplifting while I'm there, one the farms I shop at has a stall there.
Just seen the weather report for tomorrow. It's going to be a wet one. Rather Sunday than Monday!
The recovery work will wind up on the 22nd of this month.
.
Over 1000 volunteers so far, 850kms of damaged fencing removed, 900kms of new fencing built, $6'000'000 of materials supplied through charitable donations, the list goes on and there are still some farms & people in need that we haven't been able to assist as of yet.
I know exactly what you mean oz. It's an emotional journey as well a physical one. So much to do to help so many people that have lost so much. You and all the rest of the volunteers are doing a magnificent job mate. I'm proud to call you a friend.
You're welcome. And yes, I've been there done that and I agree, when people get together to help others less fortunate the team just naturally developes. Human nature at it's best.
Yeah Ummmm, massive fire back in February, burnt 55,000 hectares of farming land.150,00kms of fencing destroyed, houses, sheds, barns, equipment, stock plus stockyards, fodder, etc. All gone.
Some of the family's affected were third or fourth generation farmers so the family heirlooms and years of ancestors toil gone in 48 hours.
Morning all, had a lovely evening last night took the dogs down the island walkway and played with them on the beach, legs are a bit sore today!
Anyway still no fridge freezer so cancelled that order and have ordered from a national co instead of a local company.
Supposed to be taking it easy this weekend so will see what happens.
