bushfires

Thanks for your concern, Doris. The bushfires have been horrific and there is still more hot weather to come. None of our DUGS live in Victoria, so we are all safe at the moment, although I think they are worried about bushfires in New South Wales, where Pamelaxx lives. With us only having a population of 21 million most people would know someone who lived in the stricken areas, or someone who knows someone at least. Needless to say there are many community groups all over Australia who are trying to get money together asap to send to them, besides the government aid. More people have died than in Cyclone Tracy - I think this would have to be one of our worst natural disasters ever.
