I have sent this to my friends in Sydney…it hard sometimes being a Gippsland Girl (from Morwell) and watching such sadness and wanting to help. This was the only way that I knew how from Sydney.

Hi, being my friend you will know that I am from Gippsland in Victoria on where there have been terrible bush fires for two weeks in a row near my family home (Morwell) Last weekend my cousins who live in Churchill were surrounded by bushfire and some were evacuated. As I can’t be down home and feeling hopeless (being here in Sydney) the only way I can think to help in any way is to send the Gippsland Fire Relief fund web site on were you can donate if you wish. There is no pressure of course as there are so many people in the whole of Victoria that have experienced terrible pain and devastation you may have donated else where, It has been a very sad couple of weeks for country Victoria.

If you wish to forward this email to friends and family please do.

To my Family and Friends down home……I hope this helps in some way!

PS the koala (Sam) that the fire fighter is giving water too was taken in Mirboo Nth Gippsland, check it out, just another fire fighter hero doing a days work!
