Dear All,
I am arranging with Dr. Gregory Moore to present to the community his talk on “Bushfires, Vegetation and your garden”, he gives an enlightening and informative presentation on Victoria, its bushlands, forests and the propensity for fire.
This is not a submission on the current Royal Commission but an informed and scientific based view for consideration when reading the current newspaper stories.
Also, a must for those who wish and chose to live in non-suburb areas in this fabulous State.
