[hollyroxsox]

this was such a terrible day, i'll never forget it as long as i live, i remember cos at da start of the day me and dad were in pakenham and we were some of the last ten or so cars to make it down the princes hwy before they blocked it. but before that we were going down cardinia rd, saw the smoke, 10 mins later we drove past again and it had tripled in size, i was crying when i saw the house on fire, i was so scared, then when i saw the flames from my house that was even worse. worst day eva
