Today I prepared a special blend of flower essences and homeopathics for the rescued sheep from the Longwood bushfires now safe at Edgar’s Mission💗
These beautiful, gentle souls have endured so much — surviving the fires and now beginning their journey of healing from the trauma they experienced.
Within the blend I included several Australian Bush Flower Essences:
• Mulla Mulla — used to support recovery from fire trauma
• Fringed Violet — for the shock/trauma
• Grey Spider Flower — to ease fear and terror

I’ve added the remedy to the sheep’s water troughs so they can receive gentle support throughout the day.
The Edgar’s Mission team has rescued a number of sheep from the fires around Longwood and continues to return weekly to save as many as possible. I was fortunate to join one of these rescue days — truly epic efforts from all involved, our team searching large burnt out acreage to locate and safely bring the sheep home to sanctuary where they receive the loving care and medical attention they need to begin their healing💗🙏🏼

A quick harvest of the garden before the extreme heat sets in. The garden has an abundance of Lavender, Rosemary and Marndarines so I thought I’d get creative with them. I’m going to make some herbal vinegar cleaning sprays, a rosemary vinegar hair rinse, do some cooking with the mandarins and create whatever else I can think of with the leftovers🌿I’m really loving having such an abundant garden again🙏🏼💚

Two years ago this week, I began volunteering at animal sanctuary 🐷❤️ It has been one of the most rewarding and fulfilling experiences of my life.
Over the past two years, I’ve had the opportunity to help in a wide range of roles, from caring for the sanctuary by cleaning animal yards and keeping their homes comfortable, to assisting with school tours and kids’ holiday programs. I’ve helped feed the many birds, supported Joan the sheep with her rehab, spent time reading with the animals, and am now continuing to broaden my role by working more closely with sanctuary staff to assist with animal care.
I feel incredibly grateful to have found Edgar’s Mission, to be a small part of such a special place and to be able to support these beautiful animals—many of whom have come from challenging pasts and simply need kindness, love and care🐷🐑🐔🫏
Thank you to the amazing Pam Ahern for creating such a special sanctuary for the animals and for her guidance and support 🙏🏼💗

Sadly Gunyah Animal Healing Sanctuary Inc. located in Yarck was also wiped out by the bushfires last week💔 Thankfully they were able to save most of their animals🙏🏼 They will need a lot of support now as they look towards rebuilding and supporting the animals they are caring for now.
Currently these are some of the most urgent things they need alongside feed and medical supplies for the animals:

One of our most immediate need is a shipping container (or similar secure storage solution) — whether by loan, donation, or affordable sale. Having secure storage will allow us to safely start receiving and organising the support so many people have already offered.

Following this, we are also seeking help sourcing the following essential items, listed in order of priority:
• Hay bale mover
• Trailer
• Electrical supplies / assistance
• Fencing materials
• Tractor
• Portable dwelling or caravan

We are open to any genuine offers — including loans, donations, bargain sales, or connections to someone who may be able to help. Every contribution helps us move one step closer to stability and ongoing care for the animals.

Please help if you can 🙏🏼🐄

So many animals and animal shelters have been devastatingly affected by Victoria’s horrendous bushfires over the past week.
Dr Robyn Coy and her Tarcombe Animal Shelter lost everything in the Longwood fires. Thankfully she was able to escape with a few of her animals but sadly over 100 of her animals were taken by the fire as was her home and the entire sanctuary.
She is still out there now assessing and treating animals, operating from a makeshift animal hospital.
Please consider making a donation, either $ or she will be needing lots of supplies for the animals- medical supplies, feed, formula, bottles, pouches and probably some clothes and toiletries for herself too. I’m sure she would also appreciate some help with clearing and rebuilding when the time comes.
Thank you for donating and thank you Robyn for all that you do for the animals 🙏🏼🦘

My day in a heatwave🥵
My volunteer shift at was cancelled due to the catastrophic fire risk. Was troubled by not being there to help the animals if there was a fire but knew I couldn’t go. Seems I was needed elsewhere, managed to help a range of animals on my travels!
Started the day putting water dishes out in the garden for the wildlife🐦‍⬛🦊🐝 always put rocks and sticks in the dishes as perches for wildlife so they don’t drown in the water.
Then drove up to the country to pick up my Mum and bring her back to my house to keep her safe as she was near the fires. On the way there sadly removed these deceased animals from the road💔- a wallaby (did a pouch check), kitten and blue tongue lizard😢
On the way home found a gorgeous lost Labrador on Yan Yean road - starving and thirsty. Fed and watered him and popped him in the back of the car, took him to the vets for microchip scan, they found his owners 👏🏼👏🏼
Then offered to check on some chickens, decided to bring them home to my place for the night to get them out of the 45 degree heat. The chickens had a lovely night in front of the aircon, eating greens and berries and scratching in a basket of pine needles🐓❤️

Hypericum (St John’s Wort) solar infused oil💛
Love this time of year when there’s an abundance of Hypericum growing in the bush. I wildcrafted a huge bunch on my hike yesterday, then spent hours last night picking the flowers off the stems and made them into an infused oil. I often use Hypericum oil in skin creams I make in clinic for clients with Eczema, Shingles/Herpes, inflammation, nerve pain, etc. Infused oils are so easy to make, I will often make them with Calendula and Nettle too.

Recipe🌼
Fill jars with flowers, top with organic olive oil.
Leave the jar sealed on the window sill in the sun for a few weeks. Turn occasionally.
After 3 weeks strain the oil off, keep the oil in a sealed jar in the fridge. This can be used directly on the skin or added to a cream. I use a rich Vitamin E cream base and add other infused oils, herbs and essential oils depending on the condition 🌼💛
