A bit of smokey Sunday for us!


A bit of a smokey Sunday is on the cards for us all here today on our hill top heaven. The fires closest to us have been downgraded at this time giving us a chance to breathe. Keep informed by checking the Qld Fire and Emergency Services website and social media. It's the best place for getting up to date and correct information.

Our beautiful Springbrook National Park is closed to everybody at the moment. It's a temporary measure as the resources in our area are too stretched to keep us safe in the Park at this moment. Please respect QPWS's decision and stay out of the park and camp grounds for the time being. They'll be open again as soon as they can.

The Sunday Afternoon People are meeting to make music and have fun this afternoon. To find out todays location, call Cath on 0423 414 073 and she'll give you all the information.
It's been a stressful few days for us all up here in Springbrook. Large unpredictable bush fires are scary things to deal with and we all have our own way of coping. Have patience with each other and continue to reassure your friends and families.
Thank a Firey. We have so many amazing ones up here, all volunteers too! Thank you to the support systems they have and to QFES for all the information you put out for us. We are grateful.
Hug people. Let people talk. Have a cup of tea. Be grateful that Springbrook is largely self defending with her cliffs and dense rainforest around the base.

Check out the veiws. Gaze in wonder at the smoke in the valleys. Breathe. We live in Springbrook!

See you there.
💚Springbrook
