Must have been scary to live through the fires. I am lucky to come down after they happened. I know people who were not so lucky. A big thank you to Lurch for saving the camp site. Please donate if you can lots of work needed down here. Still is gods country counting the years until I can move here permanently like Greenroom.

A couple of snaps with devastation in the background.

Lids on the river


Greenroom working hard on his new small sb with daughter (board looks very nice)

Probably a better angle

No I think that is someone on the latest Naish

Can't be a Naish.. They only make boards that look like boards .. and nothing that looks like a boat.. .. Sure it's not a new model K15..

are you suggesting 'suc' - stand up canoeing

I can tell you it was scary to live through. One of the gnarliest days as a Volly Fire Fighter I've ever had. My mate, a fellow SUP'er and Firie was down on the beach with almost 50 people - they were calm in the face of it so it kept everyone else calm. Almost became a crispy up next to the resort when the fire gave our truck a good working over. I haven't been back as I'm up at work but plan a bit of a trip in Jan/Feb as they'll only get back on their feet if people keep supporting them and spending the tourist dollars down there. I for one will be visiting a few houses that we defended. As we saved the surf shop I might just pop in there too!

No. Its called Walcliffe House. It survived the fire on Wednesday but was lost on the Thursday. When it got too windy for the helicopters and planes we knew we were in the middle of a bit of something pretty bad!

Playing with new camera this is the view north with burnt out Wallcliffe house below
