Very true that.
I was 7 years old, living in the Adelaide hills back in '83 and the fires were burning every town around us (some within a km or so) and I can tell you it's something you never forget for the rest of your life.
Pretty scary when you're alone with only your mother and little brother (who was screaming) and everyone's fathers are out fighting those fires without any knowledge of where they were, When, or If, they were coming back.
EVERY SINGLE PERSON INVOLVED IN FIGHTING THESE FIRES DESERVES OUR BEST WISHES FOR A SAFE RETURN TO THEIR FAMILIES
ALSO our condolonces to those who have lost anything/ everything to the terrible force of mother nature
P.S. ANYONE who has deliberately lit any of these fires, I hope you are brought to justice (with a VERY heavy hand) before you ruin any more lifes :yes:
My 2cents worth
