A couple who planned to get married at the heritage-listed Binna Burra Lodge have less than three weeks to replan the wedding after bushfires destroyed the historic venue on Queensland’s Gold Coast hinterland on Sunday.
Kerri Brown and her fiancé, Brett Halford, are now scrambling to find another venue — and the money to pay for it.
The Ipswich couple has been shaken by the news but has tried to keep a positive attitude.
"We can always start over and organise another wedding, whereas others have to rebuild or find their jobs, so we're lucky in a way," Mr Halford said.
