Hey everyone, I hope this finds you and your families safe and well. The children were fantastic during the earthquake and I was very proud of the way they handled such a traumatic situation. My family is fine and we are lucky enough to be going to Melbourne tomorrow morning. I will be back on Tuesday night.
Keep safe.
