Such a terrible tragedy. Yet through adversity heroes arise. I saw a man on tv who had saved over a dozen people even though his own house was lost and his face was burnt.....and his brother came to save him.
I am often amazed at the heroics of Australians during tough times. Every year we have fires and floods and we band together in amazing ways to help one another. As of last evening the Red Cross had already received $13 million in donations, the banks and large businesses had given in excess of $20 million and the federal government were criticized for only promising $10 million, but that was before the tragedy had reached such a high toll, so I'm sure they will increase this amount.
I can only hope and pray that the people affected by these fires are able to re-build their lives, and that the culprits are caught and punished accordingly.
