Supporting the Recovery
It’s just over three months since fires raced through the Bunyip State Park, and impacted on our neighbouring communities to the north east. Twenty-nine homes were destroyed, along with numerous sheds, over 500 km of fencing and many more properties. People lost their homes, their livelihood, tools, hay and much more. With winter now set in, there is still a long way to go along that journey of recovery for all those people impacted.
Those of us spared from this disaster, are grateful as always for the courageous and selfless work of our local CFA brigades, and brigades that travelled some distances to fight the flames. We also appreciate the efforts of the Forest Fire Management Teams.
An opportunity is being provided for people to contribute financially to those who have suffered from the fires, by attending an upcoming extraordinary afternoon of music.
Further donations can be given through the trybooking site
Upcoming Extraordinary Afternoon Event
Saturday, 3 August 2019
Featuring: The Dusty Millers, The Swamp Dogs, & The Maryknoll Fire Choir
The Dusty Millers is a unique collaboration of three intimately connected and highly respected voices:
Lisa Miller-9-time Aria nominated renowned singer-songwriter
Tracey Miller-soul jazz queen, Director Maryknoll Fire Choir 4 years and
Loretta Miller– Lead singer, Jazz Party;4 world tours with "Clairy Browne & The Bangin' Rackettes".
Each of these women are established artists in their own right. Their distinctive voices blend to create a rare and very moving sound with their perfect three part harmonies, and giving classic songs a beautiful twist, and breathing new life to some of Lisa and Tracey's original songs.
They will be joined on stage by one of Melbourne’s finest guitarists, Sam Lemann.
