A huge thank you to all the incredible individuals and organisations working tirelessly to fight the fires in the Grampians. From the CFA and CFA volunteers to Forest Management Victoria, the Red Cross, and all the emergency services, your extraordinary efforts are greatly appreciated. A special thanks as well to the community groups providing essential food and supplies.
A big focus now is to look after the local restaurants, cafes, and accommodation providers that face significant challenges this season. The busy Christmas and New Year period is vital for their survival and they’re going to need our support.
