ahhh, Mr Wagon, what was the figure dude?

[Dirbatua]

$1975 and change which is good for just over 100 people.

damn, fair effort, not bad at all.

I have to admit Cobez and Nanos and everyone else involved in organising (Sorry if I cannot remember everyone) have done an awsome Job and should feel very proud of what they have done.

Now I was wondering about the fricken map (List of directions) in the end I jumped on my GPS and it knew what to do, however not sure who they were but these guys in the car in front of me ended up organising everyone, I went over to them with my Melways a GPS and a dumb expression on my face, I went back to my car even more confused, then they seemed to pull us all through :P

[Grennan]

From what Im told, there were 2 maps, an original and a revised, updated version. The wrong one was printed and handed out.

[Cobez]

Sorry i didn't make it up to Cardinia, just went home, had a splitting headache and couldn't deal with driving with the sun blaring in my face with a headache.

Thank you to all who helped and almost $2000 if a FANTASTIC number, thank you to ALL who donated and showed up. Absoloutely fantastic!!

Yeah mate I ended up having a quick yack with a few of the people i'd met before through buying things off of here, got to see a few cars i'd missed watching come in too, was a pretty cool day, pity that a bushfire had to happen for an event like that to occur, I did pretty much the same as you Cobez, went to the BBQ grounds decided that was enough for me and went home for some sleep but got lost trying to exit the grounds haha.

At least no one was following me that time nothing worse then leading 5+ cars the wrong way.

map: turn right at school rd.

haha, wtf? I think I had given up on the map by then, still these little things made the trip more memorable and to a degree fun, then leaving and getting back was sooo piss easy, if you go the correct way, out of the national park that is :P

[Cobez]

Blame Marcus (Dirbatua) for those directions lol.

[DannyboyDS]

ahh Ephect I just realised what a tard I am, (Yes only just now) I thought you said you were Aphex on the forums :P then again you could have said dorothy the dinosaur and I wouldn't remember either :P

[ephect]

lol ah no probs mate, Aphex, ephect said out loud sounds similar im the same with names, takes me a few meets to get it right, i called wagon_wheel, grennan. and i'd met him a few times lol sorry Geoff, i still feel like a goof

glad u could come down mate, all that support was essentially for u! u know what i mean

[DannyboyDS]

nah, we lost a fence and allot of sleep, sorry mate, But I hate it when things don't come across in the correct context, more like I don't like it if I havn't been specific enough, I havefound all of my friends, we lost no lives nor anything that cant easily be replaced, who the support is really for are at the other end of the scale.

Although if anyone wants to ship some NO-Doz my way that'd be awsome all iv'e done since the fire is pull stumps out and clear the remainder of our property and do about a million tip runs.

Edit:

Just to note I met a friend of my sisters who lost everything he owned in chum creek and he had the best sense of humour he said to us. "If the fire comes back, come to my place, everything is allready burnt across 20+ acres so we will be safe there" what a fricken champ, thats the type of person I cruised for, the type that stands up, squares there shoulders and says lets get on with. it.

[ephect]

nar i do remember you saying all u lost was the fence, but u are still at the cold front seeing a massive wall of fire coming your way! i was more refering to the amount of cars for the cause showing the support for all affected regardless.

[DannyboyDS]

I did say I wasn't there too, it was not knowing what had happened to mum and dad,

anyway i'm whoring this thread up.

Two blazes keep town on knife-edge | theage.com.au that article explains exactly what its been like emotionally for the whole town.

P.S sorry for whoring the thread guys.
