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.

I fail to understand people. The army has been sent in and the NZ fire department is on standby I think. Its incredible the fire department over the tasman sea might be needed to come in and help put this out and all because of these criminals.
Theres deadly ones in new south wales too I believe but here in Melbourne we're just getting so much info on the ones just north that theres little energy to worry about other states.
I told my family back in Scotland that I don't want to hear anything more about all the snow there because being are being burnt alive right now here and those are only the ones we know about. I wonder what the true number is going to be. this is just a horrible time for vitoria and for all of Australia.
