**🎄 Wishing You a Safe and Merry Christmas 🎄**
As we celebrate the festive season, we want to take a moment to reflect on the challenges many are facing right now. While fires continue to impact our beautiful region, we hope you can still find time to spend with your families and friends, cherishing the moments that truly matter.
A heartfelt thank you goes out to the incredible men and women of the CFA and forest fire teams who don’t get the luxury of a rest this Christmas. Your tireless work and sacrifice, along with the support of your families, ensure the safety of our communities during the toughest of times. Your efforts do not go unnoticed, and we are endlessly grateful.
When it’s safe to return to the Grampians, we know the landscape will look very different from what we know and love. But this unique environment has an incredible ability to regenerate and recover, transforming into something equally breathtaking and awe-inspiring. Witnessing this rebirth will be a reminder of the resilience of nature and the enduring beauty of this place we hold so dear.
To everyone in the community, please stay safe as we prepare for the extreme weather forecast tomorrow. Look out for each other, stay informed, and follow any advice from emergency services.
From all of us, we wish you a safe and joyful holiday season. Let’s celebrate the resilience and strength of our community as we move into the new year together. 🎅❤️
Stay safe, stay strong, and Merry Christmas! 🎄
