The Mallacoota Fires

After silencing everyone Rick and Aileen started the story of their Christmas in Mallacoota where they were surrounded by the massive fire now known as the Mallacoota fires.

They travelled there with their son Conor who is our Exchange Student Along with a niece of Aileen’s who was out from Ireland visiting.

There were two other children but they were off to a Music festival and intended to join them later.

Ian Aranyosi’s Story

Organ Donation

As an Introduction to Ian he was invited to present as he is passionate about organ donation.

Sadly Ian’s his wife Heather was involved in a car accident about 12 months ago and was faced with these options.

Ian began with a conversation he had with his wife some time before about organ donation and reflected on her statement that she wanted to be an organ donator, if the chance presented.

She want to hold the exception of keeping her eyes as she explained “To keep an eye on you buggers while I am up there”!

It was a conversation that no one really wants to talk about it, as it is a bit like insurance and funerals.

Ian now thinks it was extremely good to have had his experience (with organ donation) and now understands the recipients side as well.
