 We'd both wanted to try and do something for the community, we just didn't know how and we didn't think we had the time but it turns out we had plenty of time. Moving out here into the Yarra Valley I'm very aware that people give up their time to try and keep people safe. If other people are going to do that for me then I should be doing my bit. We both don't have a whole lot of time like outside of the CFA I'm a member of three other committees. I try and compete on my horse as well and I also work full-time. It fits in and you know CFA always say that it's family first, work second and then CFA. There's plenty of time after hours and weekends where people need help. I'd say on average I'm probably down here about six hours a week between you know time we spend at the station and turnouts and maybe a bit of study here and there. My time commitment with the CFA is not as much as Ray like I try and come down to training on Wednesday evenings which is just for a couple of hours and the turnouts on average it would be two hours a week max. I think the weekly commitment is certainly not only receiving with a busy lifestyle and with everything else that we do. A real sense of community we've got to know the locals quite well. We enjoy contributing our time and helping out the community and it really is like a big family. Guruya feels like our family now. I think we've got more out of CFA than we put in to be honest.
