Horrfic Bushfires

[pete]

I don't know if this has been on the news overseas or not.

In the state of Victoria, there has been several bushfires raging, at this stage 130 people, have lost there lives.
It is heartbreaking to see  all this loss of life, the terrible sadness. The relatives and friends must be devastated.

I myself was brought to tears seeing it on the news.
It is a sad day here.

Hi Pete,

Yes, a very tragic time for all of South Australia, Victoria, and we here in Queensland are 2/3 flooded out.  Mother nature at her most cruel it seems.  I live on top of the Great Dividing Range so feel safe as we can be, but do have heart felt feelings for my fellow Australians who are suffering so much at this time.

We can all help with giving what we can to assist at this sad time.  For those not Australian, here is a link to view just what it is like in Victoria, our Southern state and a link to The Courier Mail, our main Qld daily paper.
