One of my best friends is there on vacation with her husband and their son. I just tried to reach her and couldn’t. I’m sure all the lines are down. I’m really scared for them! Thanks for the info, Hatrack! We hadn’t heard a word about it.

This fire is attacking so much of this beautiful country.

I’ve been to Australia three times.
To see so much of it being destroyed is sickening.

To the nicest people you would ever want to meet: please be safe.

This is so sad, my heart breaks for that land' the people and all living things that are native there. Help them all.
