      hey there big feller! nice to see you this side o’ the pond!

      me personally is ok, but where my girlfriend lives is prime bushfire country.
      on sunday she got the word that there was a fire 1 street away from her. she threw everything in the car and got the **** outta there! fortunately the fire was extinguished quickly and she has a home to go to.

      but this is our worst ever bushfire season on record, at the present there are 170 people dead and most likely more to come. some of the areas decimated are places i’ve been, it’s kinda heartbreaking to know that there’s nothing but a pile of ash remaining. entire towns have been destroyed.

      i know it’s hard to imagine over there but picture a sky full of fire, not smoke but fire. that’s the last thing most of those casualties saw.

      we are putting together a bushfire fund at work, i suggest anyone that reads this do the same.

      check this chit!

      one of the amazing things is the people fighting the fires are members of the cfa (country fire authority).
      they are all volunteers. mad props ladies and gentlemen :clap:

      thanks for thinking of us dt:topstuff: :8ball:

      We had the local golf club complex burn down, but everyone out here (Horsham, Vic) is safe. Had a little flare up last night about 4am but it was miles out of town. The weather was ****ing unreal that day… We had 50+kph (35mph) winds on a 48C (118F) day! It was like a hairdryer outside. We had a small gumtree come down, just from the wind and heat!
