16.01.2022 A massive THANK YOU to Luke Cunningham and his motor cycle club Military Brotherhood Sydney Chapter, Mark Nichols, Margret Vanderberg, & Adam Vinnicombe for their amazing donation of water, electrolytes, and essentials along with a cash donation.

We are slowly but surely going to thank everyone personally.
