Have your say
27th Nov 2019
Bushfire thank you
Recently we were impacted by the Wandsworth/Llangothlin bushfires.
It has been perfect conditions on the ground for these fires to be fast, persistent and frightening.
Without the ready assistance of all kinds of people these fires would have been more extensive and destructive.
We would like to thank all for your help and assistance including RFS teams, National Parks and Helicopter crews, neighbours, bull dozer and tractor drivers, LLS and all others involved including the family in Ben Lomond who cared for our treasured memories.
Michael, Tom & Bar Mulligan
Thanks to all
Thank you to the wonderful people (friends, neighbours, strangers) who came to assist or phoned/messaged to check on us when we had a fire on our property in mid-October.
We are most appreciative of your assistance, care and concern. Thank you also to the RFS, NPWS and especially the helicopter teams (you are AMAZING!). With many thanks.
