My thoughts are with you at this extremely emotional frightening time! Our PM John Key is all set to send over 100 firefighters to help fight these terrible fires. To think these fires were lit deliberately is scandulous. It's mass murder. Sorry but I feel extremely angry. God bless all involved.

Hey guys, I'm sitting here listening to the ABC radio disaster news (our BBC). I couldn't get to work today because of road closures. If you want to donate to an incredibly worthy cause try th CFA (Country Fire Authourity) all volunteers and an amazing bunch off people. Brings tears to my eyes when I see them on TV and driving through our towns, they are the best! Also Wildlife Victoria, who will be inundated with any wildlife that actually survive this disaster. We had thunderstorms this morning at about 4.00am with heaps of ligtening and two firespotting planes just flew over my house...
