A picture often says a thousands words and this picture sums up how we feel as we count down the final hours of 2024.
It's been an incredibly challenging few weeks with bushfires in The Grampians National Park blazing more than 76,000 hectares and upending residents lives and livelihoods, not to mention the huge loss of flora and fauna from such a unique natural environment.
But the crews and fire fighting services as well as partner agencies swift action, bravery, dedication and mammoth effort has been nothing short of commendable. We know that many hundreds of you gave up your festive season commitments and treasured time with families to support the work.
For this we say - Thank you.🙏
And to our lovely community we would like to wish you all a safe and peaceful NY whereever you are. While the Grampians is still closed to visitors with limited access to residents as containment and firefighting efforts continue, we look forward to welcoming you again as soon as it is safe to do so.
In the meantime stay safe everyone and see you again in 2025.
