Hi & sorry
we would love to help but we will be away on that weekend, on holidays. Then I'm committed up at Kinglake helping to finish my sisters new home.
Keep us in mind if you need help later in the year.

Thanks Teks,,Chops, it'll great to catch up with you on the day. If you want free firewood that burns like the fires of hell to replace what you lost let me know on the day as a neighbour I know has some nicely seasoned peppermint gum that is free to a good home.
Thanks for volunteering. I hope SWMBO can come too.
Not sure I can manage the time for a 700k round tripto drop a load of wood to the farm,,(but one never knows what one can work with some organisation,
) I look forward to seeing you,,
Cheers

Living just a few Kilometers from the Queensland border, and being told by the doctor to take it easy for the next several weeks, I cannot come to help you, but would like to thank all those who volenteered to help. It is great to se that you are doing this.
For what it's worth, a lot of people on still on holidays and are in far away places.
Possibly if this was also posted on somewhere like Land rover owners club of Victoria, it might attract more audience of Victorian specific people.
Or post it on a Toyota or Nissan 4wd club , it might get them to chip in just to prove they can do it better than the Landies
I unfortunately am not a member of any of these, but some one here might be and could pass the info on. Many hands make light work and the purpose of this is to help people, so who cares what they drive

Being a past member of LROCV I'm not expecting any help from them as they had enough trouble getting anymore than 10 or so members (out of 900+ members!) to help back in Feb/Mar 09 when the fires were burning. The Rural Response Group of 4WD Victoria along with the Pajero Club packed it in late August with the notion that
everything in the fire zones was back to normal - stuffed if I know how they came to that conclusion considering the amount of recovery work still going on.

Sorry. I did get the wrong end of the stick.
What I want to know is who or what agency gave the $2k to the crooked family? I've never heard of evacuees being paid before. Mind you I have heard of many families who were far from fire affected making full use of donated goods at various fire relief centres - some of them loading up their cars to the roof line with food, new clothes, power tools etc etc. The annoying thing is that the cops can't do anything about this pilfering.

The payment was through Centre link, you had to register to get it.
I was disgusted when I found out. During the last fires in the UPWEY Morris road and the 5 hectare at the National Park, the CFA web site warned residents to be wary. I stood ground and stayed home. The fires were not immediate threat in my part of the area, although I was closer to the fire fronts than others that evacuated. It wasn't till a week later rumours started about people that left had received the money. I was lead to believe $1k for adults and $500 for kids. I was discussing this with some one and that person confirmed they had received it also. The excuse was it was traumatic for the kids. I believe it was mentioned on the Neil Mitchell show. I sent an email to Channel 9's A CURRANT AFFAIR to expose it, but they never replied. Might not have been news worthy enough!
I know of a Post Office where I was friendly with the previous proprietor and was discussing it. He told me that some locals were actually bragging about the funds they got.
I told my sister inlaw about this and she and her husband were disgusted, they had evacuated on that day from Selby. After hearing about the rort they went down after a couple of weeks ands claimed the money too. Then went down to the CFA and gave them the cheque . She told me that if others in the area had a concience they should also give the local CFA the money they received.
What pees me off is that how do the beauros come up with the value of $1k per adult and $500 for kids.
Leave the mountain for the day and go to somewhere safe like Knox City shopping centre kill the day there then return and get the Dosh!.
Even a hotel/motel would cost more than say $150 per night, oh I for IT'S THE TRAUMA. It was a JOKE what happened
