Back to the bushfires. Have had a couple of nice stories about people helping the wildlife.  Seen a very scorched Koala drinking water being given from a bottle, poor little creature.
Hope you folks in Aussie can get on top of those fires soon.   :cheers:
Another great day on the right side of the grass.😎

Good to hear your view on what a success it has been in Germany Andre  :doh:
And all he keeps harping back to in the video is, Climate change.
As you say, they offer No real solutions, but just want everything stopped before they have a viable replacement.

Moving on. Let's just hope that the fire fighters can get some control of these fires soon. Reports are over 50 fires in NSW & around 80 in QLD still burning out of control. Other states are also coping it now.

South Australia expecting one day of severe conditions. Around 42 degrees C and wind gusting to 90kph. Spells trouble.
Oddly next day temps will drop to the mid-20s down there.


There's some climate change for you. Oh wait, no, that's called weather.

I lived for many years in the southwest of USA.  Firefighters would fight and fight without success until the weather changed. Just no chance with high temps and strong winds.

My house and others were about to burn when the wind shifted 180° just in time. Nobody had to fight much more as the fire had created its own backburn.
