I've just returned from flooded Queensland to the bush fires of Victoria. Australia truly is a country of extremes due mostly to its sheer size. While wildlife die (and a boy is suspected of having been taken by a crocodile in a flooded area in north Queensland) and homes are flooded in the areas around Ingham near Cairns, Victoria (in the south) is dry and hot (it got to 46.4C degrees in Melbourne on Saturday or 115 F) and suffering from massive bush fires that have killed 131 people at last count. It's a disaster zone and the fires are still burning very close to Melbourne (in the north). Everyone knows somebody who has been affected. A woman I know from work lost her house to fire on Saturday.If you live in Victoria (or Australia) give blood to the Red Cross if you can. Katie's blog mentions other things you can also do.
PS.
10th Feb - 173 people are now dead and 24 fires are still burning in Victoria.
12th Feb - 181 + many more that have not been counted in Marysville yet.
these forest fires happen every year dont they?
ReplyDeletewhat causes them?
This time is was lit by someone. The fires don't always happen every year and they vary in terms of size and damage each time they happen. Last night when I checked 28 fires were burning in Victoria.
