March 2005 In early March a fire swept through our property, burning almost all of our winter feed and pastures. Thankfully all of the horses and our stables and house were saved. We extend our heartfelt thanks to all of our neighbours and to all of the rural and city fire brigades that saved our property and horses from the bushfire. We would also like to thank everyone for their offers of help from locals and as far away as Sydney.
