BlazeAid is a volunteer-based organisation that works with farmers and families in rural Australia after natural disasters such as fires and floods. Working alongside the farmers, our volunteers help to rebuild fences that have been damaged or destroyed, as well as lifting the spirits of farmers who are often facing their second or third flood event after years of drought.

Floods in Queensland and NSW, 2012

Fencing work is being done in the Dunkeld region of Queensland and in NSW at Ungarie, Wagga Wagga, Narrandera and Bribbaree.

Property Owners in all Australian States

If you have been affected by the floods, please visit our Fencing Help page for information about having BlazeAid volunteers working with you.

Fencing to Farmers offers discounted fencing supplies to farmers affected by natural disasters. "We are here to assist Farmers in getting back on their feet as quickly as possible"

Volunteers - We need you in Queensland and NSW

Fencing work has already begun at our Dunkeld basecamp, Queensland and at our Ungarie, Wagga Wagga, Narrandera and Bribbaree basecamps in NSW.

There are farms and large cattle stations in these areas that have been severely affected by the floods. The Government has declared them Disaster Areas. Many farmers have already been flooded two or three times recently, and need a hand to help get their fencing rebuilt to stop cattle and stock from straying, to keep stock away from crops, etc.

Please visit our Volunteering Information page for more details on how you can join us.

Tools

We need more tools at our basecamps and would be very grateful for any donated rakes, pitch forks, handles or similar items - in good condition or in need of repair. If you have any items you can donate, please contact a basecamp near you, or Kevin or Lyn. Thank you.

Please check this website again for updates every few days. We will provide more information as soon as it comes to hand.
