Walking to a meeting the other day and came across this incredible "Burnt" Christmas tree in Wynyard Park. The fires certainly have been casting a shadow of what can be the most joyful time of the year. The smoke, so heavy today, a constant reminder. I have felt so helpless in support those suffering. The tree has inspired me to suggest to my family this Christmas that rather than present giving we donate the money to the Red Cross instead. Donations can be made here: redcros.org.au/tree
