Fantastic grounds and a wonderfully run Show which got us on the roads early. Thank you to the Committee.

Lost my car keys which delayed my departure for 5 - 10 minutes but I am grateful for such a thing. On the Hume I arrived, in amongst a group of cars which sat while emergency services flowed through to a horrific accident 100 metres ahead of us. A huge tree had fallen across the Hume Hwy in the strong winds. Cars appeared to have careered into it and some looked like they had rolled possibly. Just dreadful and the remaining 80 kms home was very sobering for me. I sadly wondered who these poor souls all were and hoped none were fellow dog show competitors. Prayers go out tonight for those affected by such an awful twist of fate. :)

Better than the scene appeared which is great news:

Sunday, 28 November 2010 20:20

Five people have been injured after a tree fell onto a moving vehicle on the Hume Freeway in Longwood this afternoon.

Due to strong winds, it appears the large tree was uprooted on the eastern side of the freeway about 4pm and fell on the vehicle travelling south about 50 metres south of Meades Lane.

The Toyota Rav sustained substantial damage.

The driver, a 43-year-old man was airlifted to the Northern Hospital with possible head injuries.

The remaining four female passengers aged 70, 44, 42 and four sustained minor injuries and were conveyed by road ambulance to the Northern hospital.

All occupants are believed to be from the Geelong area.

South bound traffic on the Hume Freeway was diverted for two hours whilst police and other services cleared the scene.

I didn't attend the show on Sunday, I live local and the weather was not nice at all when I got up, so went back to bed..

All dogs remain snoring :)

Well done to all the winners and placegetters.....

It is a lovely ground and a very well run show indeed, hope you all keep it in mind for next year...... :)
