Jordie was one of 140 indigenous surfers from across Victoria. We were just one of the groups helping out, alongside Surfing Victoria, VicHealth, Victoria Police, CFMEU and Wathaurong Aboriginal Cooperative. Jordie goes on to represent the Victorian indigenous community at the Rip Curl Pro Pre Trials at Bells Beach. Under 16 boys and girls winners - Keeden Graham and Ruby Livesey went home with new Parks Victoria branded surfboards.

After failing to gently push the emu out with a rake-hoe, they employed a ‘snatchem strap’ normally used for rescuing bogged vehicles - so why not a bogged emu! The strap was pushed down deep enough into the mud so that with our rangers gently pulling the strap from each end, they hooked it underneath the emu’s backside and pulled it to dry ground. The result was a slightly wobbly emu at first, but it then walked away as if nothing had happened.View post | Wed, 22 Feb 2012 16.32

Lysterfield Park - Flood Recovery and ReopeningLysterfield Park was closed in February 2011 after a major storm dumped 194mm of rain on the park in 6 hours, damaging 90 per cent of bike trails, walking tracks and park infrastructure. Parks Victoria has invested $400,000 to repair, resurface and rebuild storm ravaged roads and trails. Lysterfield Park is now open and on the must-do list for Melbourne's bike riders. There's also horse riding, bush walking, bike riding, water sports and many picnic areas to explore.View post | Fri, 17 Feb 2012 11.34
