A few shots taken during the very limited down time we had from the bush fires in Margaret River, along with good friend and work mate Brad Cowan he saved his home and some surrounding properties with at stages just a damp towel, we all so had to witness good friends homes being lost, we are sorry we could not to more – devastating. Our thoughts are with all the families effected and hopefully many questions will be asked of the reasons WHY!
Under threat from all sides.

Friends homes- WHY!
WHY!
Thank you for putting this out there so people can pray for these folks. We had horrific fires in Texas this year. Our prayers are out to the families and the firefighters. God bless them.
the water bomber relief pic is awesome.
