BlazeAid joins the flood recovery effort. Hundreds of kilometres of fences have been damaged or swept away, so that the affected paddocks become unusable. There are BlazeAid bases being set up in affected areas in Queensland, NSW and Victoria. The people who come to help are ordinary Australians who want to do something, and not just leave it to Government. Some come for a day, some for a week, some stay longer – it’s catching! Many are retired, others on holiday, others have a day to spare. If you have knowledge/experience of fencing it’s a bonus, but you just need a will to help. You’ll be placed in a team and given a job you can handle – and they’ll feed you. It’s one of the more rewarding ways to spend some time. BlazeAid has a Victorian base in Bridgewater and is starting one in Charlton soon. It’s a wonderful, well-organised group who are making it happen – as long as volunteers keep turning up. Some ring ahead, others just turn up. Want to know more? Check the website www.blazeaid.com or talk to Joe Boin (0422 467 072) |
