Just returned from Laharum near the Grampians doing volunteer work for Blazeaid,Blazeaid is a group that pulls down old burnt fences and puts up new ones ,all work is volunteered work people come from every where,there were people from NSW. QLD NZL and the UK. Vic the three young ones from the UK and NZL I worked with worked very hard they would be in there early twenty,s, I was amazed the way they worked,the farmers up there were so greatfull for what we had done,the catering for the workers were done bye some of the workers wife,s Apex club ,Lions club ,Rotery club ,and surrounding farmers wife,s it is amazing when the chips are down how everybody gets in and helps,the Laharam sports club opened up there club rooms and there change rooms for us to use,the club rooms for meals the change rooms for showers,all the workers had there caravans motor homes and tents around the ground,this was a great exsperiance for me i really enjoyed it.
PS the Grampians is in Victoria just incase someone didn't know.
We are currently in Albany WA but will be heading over to Melbourne after Easter. Any chance of a contact, phone or email. I would assume that help will still be required then.
Hi Bob
try blazeaid.com/
We now have sites in SA and Victoria.
Pick a site from the list and then ring the number given. It is besst to advise at least a day before rolling up so they can organise meals for the day you arrive as well as place you on a team for the next day.
It will be one of the best experiences of your life.
Regards
Brian
