I didn't hear about these fires when they were going on, but my heart goes out to those that lost their lives and/or homes in these firestorms. I lived for many years in the bush of Alaska, had a house burn down and survived a few fires, but this looks to have been the mother of all firestorms ever. I am just in awe of the Australian communities that have worked together during this disaster and take my hat off to the amazing people down under.
I can't believe this happened in Bendigo! As a good community we will all stick together and help those people, rebuild. My thoughts go to everyone effected by this devastation, I live in Eaglehawk and it was to close to home for me!
yeah man we went over to sparrowhawk rd to see what the deal was and saw all these houses on fire and just watched, nothing we coulda done, it was horrible
