Blockheads reveal their next bushfire recovery project
The Blockheads have revealed their next bushfire recovery project: a community garden for Mogo Primary School, on the NSW South Coast.
On New Year's Eve bushfire burned through the school's grounds.
The school itself was spared, but the students lost their beloved community garden.
So, the Blockheads will rebuild their vegetable patches - and will no doubt add a few flourishes.

Landscaper David Franklin made the announcement, alongside 2019 winners Tess and Luke, as driving rain bore down on the school.
David told Today the rainy conditions would not stop their efforts.
"I think we will be building a community pool at this stage," he joked.
"As they say [the rain] is good for the garden… but yeah it's raining a lot as you can see, everyone is smiling except for me being a landscaper."
Luke said: "The pressure is on."
But Tess has no doubts they will get the job finished in time.
On Friday, Today will broadcast live from Batemans Bay and reveal how the team has got on.

If they do complete the job, David and host Karl Stefanovic have promised to do a muddy slip and slide run.
Australians are being encouraged to travel domestically this year to help support bushfire-affected communities; from the NSW Coast to Victoria, as well as South Australia.
It's about sending the message: "Australia is open for business. Come visit."
We’d love to hear from you
