Insight to Fighting the East Gippsland Fires

Craig and Patch Calvert run a mixed Sheep & Dairy business at Wiseleigh between Bruthen and Bairnesdale. Their upper property came under attack from the East Gippsland fire front and they stayed to defend. This is the story of that encounter and some of the tips they implemented to defend their homes. For those wishing to contribute funds and/or livestock feed, local community members recommend the following organisations:

Gippsland Emergency Relief Fund (GERF): https://www.gerf.org.au/donate/

Need for Feed: http://www.needforfeed.org/donate.html

Victorian Farmers Federation (VFF): http://www.vff.org.au/donations
