A tribute.
I would like to thank all those from other parts of the world here who have expressed their concern and well wishes to us here in Australia over the current bushfire crisis. Here in Sydney we now have a situation where 3 mega blazes in the Blue Mountains, the north west rural fringe and the south coast hinterland respectively have all joined up. Things are looking pretty grim. A number of lives have been lost. People are missing and hundreds of properties have been destroyed. We had another contingent of firefighters arrive yesterday from Ontario, Canada. There is no word of welcome and thanks strong enough to offer to them. MOre from the US and NZ are on their way. This is my tribute to this brave fire army and air force that are working their butts off to save us.

Re: A tribute.
What a lovely post, Keezoy, all too often the 'emergency' services are our unsung heroes. They turn up - do their job - and go on their way. Not everyone appreciates just how dangerous their job can be so, with your permission, I would like to add my praise for them to yours.Life must be very scary in your corner of the world just now - I do hope your and family are safe - and stay safe - and that the weather goblins send you lots of rain very soon.
we need all we can get right now. We are OK so far. Very smoky but not any fire on our south facing back door yet. (There is water in the other directions so we are lucky) Fingers crossed

Re: A tribute.
I am shocked to see the devastation that is happening there keezoy, it seems most of Australia is on fire
I have relatives over there who seem to be ok luckily but my Uncle died in a bush fire a few years ago so I know how bad it gets.
My thought are with you all.
