Snow in Kinglake
Well, I was as surprised as anyone when this pic turned up this morning. The blackened landscape of Kinglake has been blanketed in snow! This is a view from the verandah of the temporary school, overlooking the playground we built with the Variety club. Doesn't look like it's had too many kids on it this morning, that slide would be a little cold!!!

Victorian Bushfires
We've teamed up with Variety Club of Victoria and installed a couple of new playgrounds in schools who weren't so fortunate. The first is at Chum Creek Primary, where the fires skirted the perimeter,and they lost a few buildings and the playground was partially bulldozed to make a fire break. Glen Robbins and Keith from the Seekers were there for the hand over, and it was an emotional time.

We also had the opportunity to help at Middle Kinglake Primary, where the school was burned to the ground. To see the devastation in and around this area was horrific, and it only made us want to help more! Again, the help provided by Volenteers was invaluable, and the kids welcomed their new playground with great enthusiasm. (I don't even think the concrete was set yet!)

New World Champions.
Well, It's been a busy weekend, We are celebrating TWO world titles this week.
Firstly, theres Nick Lundh, Our champion salesman. He managed to take
the World Middle weight kick boxing title at the QBH nightclub on
Sunday night (15/7). Well done Nick. His nose was broken half way
through the first round, but he continued on to win by TKO just into
the second round. Nick is a great source of inspiration to all here,
with his massive drive and determination, he is an example of what can
be done if you put your mind in the right place. 
Our other title was from the RMIT formula SAE team. They managed a
fantastic victory in the UK, making that 3 titles in the last two
years. The other two being the Australasian title earlier in the year
and the Detroit comp in May last year. Well done to Jacob Rayner and
all the team at RMIT racing.
