My thoughts and prayers mate!

Cheers mate. It's been a terrible day down there with 76 now confirmed dead and the toll likely to rise as rescue and fire crews move into areas they have not been able to get to yet, making this disaster worse than Ash Wednesday in 1983.

Sorry to hear about all that. I think this is the highest death toll to bushfires that I can remember.

I offer my hopes and prayers for the victims of this disaster. I feel a bit useless just doing that, though. I really wish that I had something else to contribute.

One of my employees (also a volunteer firey) is ready to board his truck and head down there now. Indeed, five of his colleagues have just left for Beechworth (as part of the 90 that the ACT have so far sent).

Hope they catch the b@stard(s) that lit some of the fires.

84 deaths now and still climbing.

Still waiting to hear back from friends in Doreen (near Hurstbridge); not sure if they're in the fire line.
