Black Saturday


I'd like to begin my blog by acknowledging the tragedy of Australia's worst natural disaster, "Black Saturday," bush fire that began on Saturday 7th February on a day when temperatures soared to 47C (115F) with stong winds, causing the fires to spread quickly. For all those lives lost, the injured and now homeless, my heart goes out to you. Thank you to all those overseas friends whom thoughtfully enqueried about our safety, we thank you for your care and concern...we are safe! I would also like to acknowledge Russell's tireless work with Community Recovery and helping those in these trying times. The Australian spirit lives in all of the fire fighters and support workers! Thank you.
