It is such a privilege to be a BlazeAider, now is the time to give it a go. Volunteers welcome at all camps, go to the BlazeAid website Camps, have a read, make a choice. Take a trip, learn new skills, make new friends, share yarns and lots of laughs. Ohh and did I mention the fabulous meals!

We needed a yellow stopper for a jerry can, you can't just buy one! Reached out to Pro-Quip International (they are in Bayswater VIC) and they sent us a goodie bag.
Thanks Pro-Quip.

Last night, Walwa had the privilege of having a visit from BlazeAid President, Kevin Butler. The small crew here all enjoyed a great evening chatting to Kevin who has a great interest in everyone's background stories.

Patricia served up a lovely meal as well, the mushroom soup starter was possibly the stand-out, but lemon maringue desert was hard to pass up.

Thanks for making the trip to see us Kevin.

The first job for Walwa camp today was short run of mesh to pull down and rebuild since the winds during the fires destroyed the trees and damaged the fences. All sorted just after lunch, and then on to the strainers.

The team had the privilege of installing our first set of Rotech Rural strainer posts. Was a bit of an effort between the four of us guys but it all went surprisingly well. In less than an hour, two posts installed and ready to strain from.

Thanks again Rotech Rural for the provision of these assemblies, it is much appreciated by the team and the farmer.

For our effort it is gratefying to know that the poddy calves and horses can now be contained separately and it is one less thing on the farmer's mind.

Good morning Walwa...

One team of two out in the field today, more volunteers would be much appreciated.

We have a few farmers who are helping when they have a spare day or two. Most are paying back the assistance they received last time the region was not by fires.

It's great to see such a close community, willing to help out their fellow farmers.
