Peter Smith travelled to the South Coast over the weekend and took time out to visit Mogo, I am sure he will want to comment further at the meeting but has these comments by email and a couple of pics

"Hi everyone- just been to Mogo. The first photo is the Child Care Centre, the next two are the buildings and yard next door. An amazing escape. So many buildings destroyed, others spared.

The smoke today is very thick, coming from the nearby Clyde Mountain Fire. Burnt out power poles along the Princes Highway in Mogo are being replaced- huge traffic jam as road partially closed, there are some shoppers in the town, with probably half the businesses intact- everything else including many many houses gone.

The work Sallianne and Jo is doing is vital. The funds we raise from the Wine Tasting will also be much needed in a few weeks time when rebuilding of properties and wellbeing get underway.

Best regards - Peter
