Dear Art Lovers,

As I write this update the rain continues to fall from large grey clouds as they pass over Crossover in West Gippsland… it’s 15°C.  Just days ago it was over 40°C when I fed cold watermelon to hot alpacas who couldn’t seem to move themselves away from the shady trees.

Bushfires continue to burn across New South Wales, the ACT and Victoria causing widespread destruction and devastation, leaving many with saddened hearts and the desire to help.

It was difficult to be upbeat and write down goals for 2020 until they quickly evolved into a list of ideas to assist – those in need, the volunteers, our precious wildlife and their (our) habitats.

A big thank you to all who have contributed in some way – especially to those who have given and risked their lives, and to those who continue to do so xxx
