My brother is stuck in Townsville. But I think he's happy, coz he can't get to work.

One of my flisties from Sydney mother is in the vicinity of a fire, and I'm stressed for her, another one is in the outskirts of Ballarat, and on fire alert.

I think I'm glad to be in Brisbane.

Oh man, I saw some video of that today, it looks horrible.

Maybe you should get working on tilting your country slightly up at the north so the water could flow down and stop the fires?

Just a suggestion. Get ye some stilts.

You're the ones who nicked our Eucalypts. They sure burn good, don't they? You should join us for the BBQ; bring a plate.
