The People of Murray Bridge Make Me Proud

Wow... What a beginning to the year it has been. Beautiful fireworks over Sydney Harbour is always a wonderful way to see in a New Year! We were lucky to have a friend over in Sydney who saw the pyrotechnic display first hand and filmed it so we could see the dazzling light display... Watching the gorgeous colours light up the sky it got us thinking 'What will this year hold for us..?'

For many the year of 2015 has started off with a great disaster, fire tearing through our state and threatening the homes of many of our friends and family. From this disaster though there have been many moments lately where local people of the Murray Bridge community (and other communities) have pitched in and banded together and we have all pitched in where we can to help out a stranger.

Great job Murray Bridge! Great to see the community spirit alive and kicking! It makes me proud to know when we as a community see someone in trouble we do what we can to help.

I also want to mention here my deepest respect to the fire fighters and other organisations (such SES) who are out there on the front lines doing what they can to extinguish this frightening fire. Awesome job all of you. Many thanks! I especially want to thank the many of you who do all this as volunteers. Without you all many of these services would not exist.

My thoughts go out to everyone whose lives have changed due to this fire. I hope that it will be out soon...
