Default saddening news

Seriously, anyone caught lighting fires in this country should be

Very saddening news through tonight
The bushfires have claimed 14 peoples lives so far
To make it even worse some of the major fires are suspected to be deliberately lit -Truely a case to bring back capital punishment

Our thoughts and prayers go out to those friends , families , dedicated firepersons and volunteers affected by the bushfires
I am sure we all hope no one else will be lost or injured

Default Our thoughts are with you all.

The smoke has reached across the Tasman Sea to Otago in the South Island of NZ.

The images on TV are so graphic, with the towering flames and massive destruction in those small communities of ordinary people like us.
We hope the weather provides some relief to the fire crews.

A friend who lives in the most devestated area of bush fires and whose house survived has hundreds of Kangaroo's and other wildlife who escaped the fires at his place and he is flat stick trying to keep the water containers full for all of them. He says they are so terrified that their natural caution when arround humans is gone.
