Five Years On

Five years ago the devastating 2009 Black Saturday bushfires left thousands of homes burn't, 174 people dead and people wondering how our emergency services didn't cope.
Five years today and we have improved our systems and are hoping not to have a repeat performance.

But the hot days this summer have been almost as bad as 2009. We have had more plus 40 degree days than I can remember in the last 30 years. So many 30 plus degree days that I'm beginning to think them cool!

So to all the Black Saturday survivors and their friends, best of wishes.
I hope you have all managed to rebuild and restore your lives somewhat.

Keep the memory alive so we don't repeat the horror anytime soon.
