Here in Northern NSW dust storms are dumping the western plains topsoil over our desiccated pastures.

The worst drought in living memory.

And his ghost may be heard if you pass by that billabong
"Who'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me?"

Darn, that’s a shame Max.

No matter where you live, there is going to be some issue. Hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, droughts, volcanoes, floods, etc.


Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.

Someday your life will flash in front of your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching.

Now fires all around us. The town is covered in the smoke plume. Asthma sufferers must stay indoors.

Nearest fires now out of control are 20 kilometres away. We are safe though... high rocky ground. Others not so much.

First I've heard of this. Considering Oz is a member of the Commonwealth with many family ties with us here in UK, news from your country seems to have little priority and coverage here. Stay safe mate.

… not that surprising at all, considering that most of those family bonds will have been carefully erased when the affected family member got expatriated to the prison colony wink

I'm glad you're safe Max. It's a shame some of your countrymen are not.
