I have just made my donation......but it just doesn't seem to be enough. I mean, it took me all of 3 minutes. That doesn't give me a pass to forget all about it but there is nothing more I feel I can do. It sucks.
arrgghhh...I am lost for words. Anger won't get me anywhere I know but this is in our country and they need our help.
I suspect there are some of you feeling like this by some of the comments throughout this site.
Our firey's are the greatest on the planet and deserve world wide recognition of their bravery, endurance and wilpower.
My wife managed to get hold of her friend in Bendigo, their street went up and amazingly their house is still standing - neigbours either side and across the rd lost theirs:(.
This photo is, of all the photo's, the one that got me.

The look on this guys face just tells it all, even his wife must be hurting just as bad.
Even Rudd was overcome with emotion whilst talking of it - as was, it sounded, Julia Gillard in Parliament.
I'm not ashamed to admit that tears flowed from my eyes a few times as I watched the news.
I suspect we may need to give blood as well as money.
the same here Ron......tears flowed from me a few times especially when listing to the guy that had his car set a light from trying to flee and he went one way and his wife went the other......they never got reunited until 2 days later.......could you imagine not knowing whether or not your partner made it out!!!
I'm welling up now thinking about what I watched earlier
Just so hard to believe the devestation.
Not much more I can say.
The fire fighters deserve something big.
Yes like a massive rain stormQuote:
