As you probably know, we had a bushfire in our area yesterday — our first one since moving in. Welcome to Hills life… floods ✔️ fires ✔️ just waiting on the plague of locusts now.
Huge thanks to our neighbours who popped in to check on us and see if we needed help wrangling the Critter Creek crew. Thankfully the wind changed and we didn’t need to evacuate, but we know many of our neighbours and community did. Times like these are a good reminder to check in on those around you. We as a community are in this together.
Massive appreciation to the volunteer and career brigades, helitacks, SES, police, and everyone who dropped everything and got stuck in to get it under control so quickly — absolute bloody legends.
To everyone in Boya and surrounds — we hope you’re all safe, sound, and back home. And thank you to everyone who messaged offering safe places, spare paddocks, and help with the animals. It truly means more than you know ❤️
