Farmers face drifting soil and erosion that could set land management back years.
Transcript
00:00The impact here at Nannimuck's been huge. As we're standing here in the ruins of the Nannimuck Bowls Club,
00:06it's not only the Bowls Club, we've got multiple businesses being affected.
00:10I think off the top of my head there's about 10 houses being lost just here in the town.
00:17The fire itself, I think the estimation is 30 odd homes being lost in about 40 outbuildings.
00:26We've been basically minimum till farming for around that 30 odd years now or there abouts trying to keep as much straw and conservative farming practices.
00:36And just to see the drift and the erosion over the last four days, it's going to put us back years in what we've done.
00:43Today Nannimuck received some hay, which has already been dispersed and already the community are moving to things like Facebook
00:51to rally behind those affected and get them some things to start.
00:55I've been contacted by BlazeAid who are coming out to set up a base camp and start fencing shortly.
01:00And we'd love for everyone to join their volunteers.
01:03We've also been in contact with Agriculture Victoria.
01:06They've helped with initial impact assessments on animals.
01:11And there's also connecting farmers and those affected with the grants that they're eligible to as well.
01:19Thank you very much for the support of the penguins, really.
01:27I'm so glad you're here to come out of here.
01:29I feel like everybody's been at the park.
01:30We'll do some of the back.
01:31I'm so glad you're here to come out.
01:32I'm so glad I'm here to be here to come out of here.
