Well, on the up side if your teacher hadn't have got the wasp the fires probably would have.
Good to see that White Van Men exist in Australia too.

Ah, so you're a Sydney area guy, not far from Tarjak and GenoMariner. From what I could see on Genos photos on facebook earlier today, the Nattai park was a tad toasty. Got to feel sorry for the poor animals in the path of these. Humans can usually get away, animals, particularly the smaller critters, not so good news for them. To be fair to the Aussie fire service though, and their animal service, they are bloody good at post-fire rescue, I remember a video of a firefighter rescuing a koala that made the rounds after a wildfire a few years back, touching stuff.
You hang in there Aussies, you're a hardy bunch, if anyone can roll with the punches it's an Aussie.
