Stationed at busy Station 073 Yennora, our Karen doesn’t need to be told to wear her mask and the only video she is in at Bunnings is when sh...e is fundraising for the Firies Climb for Motor Neurone Disease and the only time she demands to speak to the manager is to compliment them.

10.01.2022 Competition Time | Today we have a colouring-in competition. Colour in the below image and send it to us via our Facebook Messenger inbox with your name and age... and we will have a Firefighter pick a winner based on creativity! Our artwork for our competition today is of the Kookaburra and has kindly been provided by Nathan Patterson, a proud Wagiman Man. His art is a mixture of contemporary designs using traditional techniques that incorporate the dreamtime stories of his people and of the land he was born on. To view more of Nathan's work head here: https://www.ilukadesigns.com.au//aboriginal-art-colouring/ You might be wondering what relation the Kookaburra has to fire? Well, long ago in the Dreamtime, there was a time when there was no sun, only a moon and stars. One day, Dinewan the emu and Brolga the beautiful dancing bird, were arguing and fighting. Brolga got so angry that she ran over to Dinewan's nest and grabbed one of her large eggs, which she threw up into the sky. It landed on a heap of firewood, spilling the yellow yolk, which burst into flames. To the astonishment of all the creatures, this lit up the whole world below. They had only been used to the semi-darkness and were dazzled by such brightness. A good spirit who lived in the sky saw how beautiful the earth looked when it was lit up by this blaze. He thought it would be a good thing to make a fire every day; which he has done ever since and which we now know as the sun. All night the good spirit and his helpers collect wood and stack it up ready to be lit at dawn. The spirits decided they must have a noise made at the dawn of each new day to announce the arrival of the sun, which would wake the sleepers - but what noise? The spirits heard the laughter of Goo-goor-gaga, the kookaburra, ringing through the air. This was the noise the spirits were looking for! They asked Goo-goor-gaga if every morning would he laugh his loudest to awaken all the sleepers before sunrise. Goo-goor-gaga agreed and has done so ever since - making the air ring with his early morning laughter.
