The Arcus family have been hit by a devastating fire.

Sue and Roo Arcus and their family are well known around the Goulburn district - most of all as caring, loving people who are true blue Aussie battlers and farmers. Last night at 8:30pm 28/09/2024 they were hit by a devastating blow. The family farm suffered from a fire to the property's main shed that housed all the vehicles, tools, farming equipment, horse riding gear, lots of household contents and veterinary equipment. Not only that but their treasured memories and photos were also stored in the shed due to a renovation.

This family would give you the shirts off their backs and have done so much for their friends, family, strangers and the local community.

They are absolutely devastated - as are friends and family. Thanks to the drought and soaring cost of living prices - most farmers are under insured as they can't afford the astronomical insurance premiums.

The flow on effect is this to the Arcus family - there is no way their insurance would come close to covering the huge loss to the farming family. Many farmers like the Arcus family have had to give up insuring items and hope for the best.

Whilst the shed and contents are insured - it will not even cover close to the worth of the contents or the demolition and rebuild. I am asking the community to help our friends - these guys are the people who will pull up next to you when you are broken down and lend a hand. They go to the ends of the earth for strangers. Imagine what they do for their friends and family and community.

Please - if you can spare a bit of help, a donation, or lend a hand they will be forever thankful as will their friends and family. They are not asking - I am asking, can you please help. They are too humble to ask for anything. But they are in dire need.
