Clear storm damage from Deborah's garden in Ballarat
Garden rescue day in Ballarat: bring gloves and a rake.
🇦🇺 3354, Ballarat, Victoria, Australia590 views
I'm 71 and I have lived in this house in Ballarat for 41 years. After the storm in August, two large branches and a fallen fence have blocked the back door and the garden path. I can no longer manage them myself because of poor eyesight.
The council has told me it will be eight weeks before they can send someone. I'd feel much safer if it were cleared sooner.
Help needed: someone with a chainsaw, plus a few people with rakes and gloves. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Take care, Deborah. Get well soon. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Ballarat.
Sending strength, Deborah. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 7 people at work. Greetings from Glasgow.
