Bushfires in Australia
We have a good few forum members in Australia and my thoughts are with them at present regarding the devastating bushfires out there. I have many friends in the military vehicle scene around that country and hope they keep safe and do not suffer any loss of life or property.
While we are enjoying the festive season many of them are out there fighting fires or keeping watch.
Just to put the size of it into perspective for those of us in the UK, the major fire area in New South Wales over the Blue Mountains and surrounding area is over 4,100 square miles, this is equal to the size of Kent, Sussex, Surrey and Greater London combined.
Only wish they could have some of our rain!
best regards,
Richard
