15 year Anniversary of the 2009 bushfires in Victoria
7 February 2024
Those fires claimed the lives of 173 people, injuring more than 400 others. More than 2,000 homes were destroyed, 450,000 hectares of land were burnt, and an estimated one million animals and wildlife perished.
We all thank the many volunteers who made up a large percentage of the 19,000 people involved in the CFA (Country Fire Authority) response, one of whom lost his life.
It's such a dangerous task and so many firefighters in Australia are volunteers, who give their time to train, turn out and protect their community.
Our thanks to all of them

Wow, last week of term for Queensland!
4 December 2023
Queensland heads off on holiday on Friday, then WA, SA, ACT and NT the following week with NSW, Vic and Tassie going until 20/21 December.
Poor old Vic. They started this term a week, if not 2 weeks, ahead of the other states and are one of the last to finish.
