Sadly we have had devastating fires rip through the beautiful Lake Ohau Village in the McKenzie Country at the base of the Southern Alps in New Zealand overnight - see NZ news media using related keywords online & under images.
There's reported to be around 40 homes destroyed.
It's unknown if there's been loss of human and animal lives.
Some of you may have visited Lake Ohau on your travels to New Zealand which is close to where the beautiful Lupins grace the riverbeds and Twizel.
This is the second major fire in the region in recent months.
Thoughts are with all during these challenging times.
Please reach out and help @Lizzie
@Quincy @Catherine-Powell as there's people who have lost their homes, including those who may be providing ABB accommodation in the area.
Thanks in advance
