I know this is way off topic ,but I think it deserves a mention . As most of you know ( Victoria ) Australia has just had the worst bushfires in history .1000 homes( approx ) have been lost . Death toll is 181 . Expected to rise to 300 .Almost 900,000 acres have been burnt .One koala ( named Sam ) ,and one volenteer firefighter has been made world famous  .Thank you to everyone around the world for your support , well wishes  and prayers .Its hard to watch the news without getting a tear in your eye ,seeing what fellow Aussies have gone through .
