Can I just say to all the Australians on the lists how very sorry we were about the tragedy of the bushfires, and that all our thoughts and payers are with those poor souls caught up in it. Let's hope that it is all over quickly - and that they catch those abominable arsonists. Mary

Thank you Mary, it has been devastating and we are now close to the 150 mark of deaths and 750 houses/properties destroyed without the count for pets and wildlife. Victoria is having a dreadful time at the moment, Queensland with the horrific floods and SA and WA looking out this week as temperatures soar to the 40+ degrees Celsuis mark. It is nice to know that people throughout the world care.

Hi Jacquie, The scale of the tragedy takes every Australian's breath away. My heart goes out to those people involved. Fortunately none of my family is affected. Yes, it is nice to think that others care.
