🙁🙁🙁

Pretty cool eh!

I could use this in class when studing Human Impact on our Environment and Environmental impact on humans!

My Brother took these photos, he lives in the A.C.T and works at the War Memorial.

The son of the guy I work with, works for the DNRE and has been on fire-watch for about six months. As it was my first day back at work today, I heard lots of stories about the fires in Eastern Victoria. It sounds like they're getting pretty desperate. 🙁

Hey Jay

Things have been really bad with the fires. Melbourne has been covered in smoke from the fires up north for the last couple of weeks. So bad two Mondays ago, I thought it must have been in the Dandenongs, it was thick and you could smell it:jesus

Amazing story of survival in 'The Herald-Sun' this morning but can't find it on line. CFA fire fighters sat it out in their trucks as walls of fire engulfed their trucks. It must have been a nightmare to live through, can't imagine

Temperatures are rising again tomorrow

The country side is drier than I've ever seen it, with an intense heat haze. You feel if you look too strongly the stare can ignite it all. Everything is ready to explode or is. I think total fire bans should be on all days at the moment, you don't need any spark hitting the ground at anytime right now I'm sure

Wow, what a contrast of weather conditions we have at the moment Jay!!!

Catch you soon when you get home

Where did my FRIGGEN link and photo go.
Bloody thing makes it look like I'm talking about nothing. Well I will do it again and it better stay.

Those photos are very eerie

Know last week people in the city were pretty subdued, Friday especially, very dry intense heat and smoke hanging in the city streets. Must have been a very unusual atmosphere there in Canberra🙁

hey
we dont have fires here just fierce drought (level 5 water restrictions can only use buckets and watering cans for 1/2 hour) but when at work yesty morning at 6:30am it was 25 degrees it was a bloody stinker!!! (i was in nice air conditioning all day 😀)
but everyone is being hit bad hope everyone is alright!!!
cheers
