support of the last 6 weeks or so, and I owe them a tremendous thanks!
Especially Wendy who

safe. THANK YOU!

parents house and their whole street is fine. Nayloch Way, approx 2 km east of
the Kinglake main street.
From Sue Frew - I have just found both
Robert Barker from Vista Crt, Heathcote Junction and
Steve Henderson from
Marks Rd, Kinglake West. They are both safe and well. The
day has started on a good note. Good luck to all you others
looking for friends and family.

Wondering if anyone knows if the little white
weatherboard antique/nursery/tea rooms place opposite and up a bit from the
Kinglake SES building survived. I think its called Rose Cottage or Rosewood
Cottage or something like that. The lady who runs it (sorry, I'm dreadful with
names - Eileen? Elaine?) is really lovely and its
our favourite place to visit. My daughter keeps asking to go see the 'chook
lady' (has chooks out the back) and I don't know how to tell her the beautiful
place we love with the kind owner may be gone. I'm praying they're safe - as I'm
praying for everyone else sought on this list. Kind Regards, Natasha
Rosewood Cottage - fire damage to
property, but resident was there today. - Leigh

Hi, I'm actually emailing for a friend of mine who doesn't
have net access atm, her name's Kate Rushen. She's looking for
one of her friends; Rhys Elliot
from Dixon's Creek, she hasn't been able to get in touch with
him all week but I'm assuming most of the people up that way
don't have great reception if they've still got their phones at
all...Anyway if you could possibly email me back or call her or
even message her mobile which is 0410 207 870 she's getting
particularly worried for him. Thanks so much I know how busy you
are and I have searched your site, daftdoggy and herald sun
message boards but have had no luck, so once again I appreciate
any help you might be able to offer her.

contacted her via computer. He's safe so is the house, I think his

Does anyone know about the
Brown family at Narbathong, their property used to be the racing stables
but is now agistment. Looking for Don and Jeffery Brown and all the staff there.
Cliff Brown, who is
in his second season training in Singapore,
rushed to catch the last flight home to
Melbourne on Saturday night, after receiving
the news that the family pre-training and
breeding farm at Narbethong, about 90
minutes north-east of Melbourne, was gutted
in Saturday's horrendous fire-storm.
Fortunately, the staff and 28 horses on
Tarnpirr Farm, were saved by a stroke of
good fortune, and a sturdy historic old
stable that became an ark. As the fire
roared into view, all the horses, including
mares and foals, were gathered from their
paddocks and, along with the people, crowded
into the old barn for refuge - with up to
three to four horses crammed into each box.
The holocaust that followed razed every
building on the property, including three
houses, except the stone barn, one of only a
few buildings left standing in Narbethong
