Thinking of you
They call Australia the lucky country. In one respect, it isn't - when the eucalyptus oil heats up or some dickhead throws a lighted match on the ground.
Having experienced bushfires close-up (Queensland Orienteering Champs 1991 - God that's a long time ago but I can still remember it like yesterday), while they are an amazing sight they can do a truckload of damage. I fear the summer of 2006/7 may not be altogether pleasant across the ditch.
Fingers crossed the damage doesn't get too bad.

Could be worse - you could be the New Zealand Knights.
But seriously, Aussie has it bad usually in this respect, and it looks a lot worse this year - so yeah, good luck with that cobbers.
My uncles house was one of two houses on his street that survived the Canberra ones about 4 years ago. I went there a couple years back and saw the left over destuction, the amount of forest wiped out is hard to comprehend until you see it.
Hi, can't find your email address, so thought i'd post a comment. Wondering if you'd like to try out the STW and/or swap links? Look forward to hearing from you at info@sportingLOT.com!
