I was thinking of you during the awful fires.
I remember when I was at Wang High & there was a huge fire that burnt through from Benalla & stopped just at the farm we had at Oxley..
Regards

PS.
Have enjoyed looking at your photos again. Would love to see some taken of Moyhu township & even some along the road where you live as I have fond memories of going to the Willowbank school..either riding our horses to get there,or by bike & sometimes walked when the horses were to hard to catch.
Best Wishes for Xmas
Mary
