Victorian fires
The world is going mad, just watched our NZ news, what a horror for a number of states in OZ. Our sea water around the east has reached 23 degrees. At our place it was 14 degrees , drove 30 kms and it was 30 degrees. The Met Office is warning of very very high temps coming from Oz that will hit here today but only on the East we are in the West.
Our hearts go out to all of you in Oz that are facing this real threat. The photographs of burnt out cars containing people are heart wrenching. HOPE YOU ARE ALL SAFE ANZACS Rookie
