Even worse is the fact that they reckon that there are many many more dead that they haven't managed to get to yet. I heard somewhere that there are over 200 separate fires in the state of Victoria alone.
This is now Australia's worst peace time tragedy. Unbelievable the lives lost, but made so much worse by the fact that arsonists are lighting them.
Over here in Western Australia we have been lucky so far, but we have still had arsonists lighting them in response to the Victorian fires.
