If they did, they would have tried to prevent a tragedy that has rocked the foundations of the verandah town - Lockhart.
The Hunt family property was picture perfect, with a lush green crop and flowering yellow canola shining brightly against the blue sky yesterday, as neighbour Richard Day told The Daily Advertiser of "a very fun-loving, community-minded family" that loved water skiing, tennis, football and motorbike riding.
Like everyone in the wider Lockhart and Boree Creek communities, Mr Day is struggling to come to terms with what unfolded on the Hunt family farm earlier this week.
"None of us saw this situation coming, otherwise you'd obviously do something about it; it doesn't matter who you are," Mr Day said.
"It's a little bit hard to believe it's all happened, to be honest."
