Heroes
Give tirelessly
Risking their lives to save
Facing such horrendous danger
To save humans, animals and the bush
Some lost their own homes fighting it
Horror…will keep haunting
Our brave Aussie
Heroes

The horror will indeed haunt them Jules. I was talking to a friend who has just been to the area to counsel the firefighters
Some are ready to be counselled yet many are not.
You have penned this Rictameter with the emotion that we are all feeling.
Best wishes with this.

Such a shocking lot of devastation, such dedication from all those invoved, so many lost and so many taking risks as a matter of course as they battle the fires. Well done Julie.

As the fires are brought under control the floods are still doing damage. Qld is in a mess and central coast of NSW is also a mess. Imagine 600 mm of rain in your area.
The mind boggles. -

Yes indeed...
The floods are devastating too Bob
I can't even begin to imagine getting THAT MUCH rain

You wrote!! Unfortunately it is a sad sad thing that you are writing about. My heart, thoughts and prayers are with all of you as you try to piece back together what was lost.

It seems to have worked tho
