Dear Fellow Genies, My heart goes out to you over the devastating loss of life in the fires. The years I spent living in Ballarat [1995-2002] were some of the best years of my life, meeting and knowing some of the most lovely people a person could meet, and I know many of those from the Ballarat & District Genie Society are on this Goldfields list. My thoughts are with you at this terrible time and I hope your loved ones are safe. Edwina Shooter Mount Helena in the Hills above Perth Western Australia
