merry christmas and best wishes for 2010

It has been a very challenging year, the effects of the Black Saturday bushfires continue to resonate through our communities. From tragedy has come recovery and rebuilding, our communities generously reaching out to help those affected directly and indirectly by the bushfires.

The bush has also undergone its own recovery, existing plants regenerating whilst some surprising newcomers have appeared as a response to fire.

The grass trees on the mountains behind Steele's Creek put on a magnificent display of flower spikes this spring, post bushfire.

This summer stay safe, I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a happy and peaceful new year.
