Somerset Lifetimes 2020

ourselves up with way too many delicious potato scallops from the local Fisho. That evening with our new friends, we concluded with a concert bringing the volunteers together in a sense of camaraderie. Many other members of the community joined in as we sang well-known songs to lift morale. Many life lessons were learned that weekend, like the joys of a hard day’s work, which I’m sure we will take into our future lives. We left knowing our presence (and muscle) had helped property owners Joe and Mary who were certainly doing it tough like so many around Australia. Our thoughts go out to all who were impacted. The experience would not have been possible without the generosity of spirit from Mr Brad walker and Mrs Clare Walker who also gave up their weekend not just to drive the 550 kilometre round trip but to help open our eyes to the full impact bush fires have on communities. We are truly grateful for the opportunity to have helped-out in this time of need. Isla Clancy and Jack Luke-Paredi Service Captains
