  • you know who i blame the black saturday bushfires for?? GREENPEACE!!!!!!!!!!!! the fucking treehuggers whinge and cry about the government doing some fuel-reduction burning off to help prevent these fires in the first place so they stopped. then we had a buildup of tonnes and tonnes of dry sticks and leaves & dry shit like that. then the black saturday bushfires came along. then 173 people died. so whos to blame?? work it out.

  • as an example I lived in st. andrews (sth of kinglake) until 3 yrs ago. we had 2 pumps (elec & petrol) and underground pipes to the corners of our 2 acres, good hoses, mudbrick tanks, concrete roof, cleared ground - the whole lot, as dad was once a firey.

    if we were still there we'd have died getting the pumps going - the fires moved that quick. it was 2km by dirt road under overhanging trees to get to the main road. kind of scary to think of.

  • most certainly , wierd aint it ... it's been soooo quick even with brilliant fire plans and pumpers on scene - there's nothing anyone could've done much in alot of these area's ... with places like Kinglake .. resources meant not one thing ! ..and the amount of places effected as it spreads is incredible

    108 dead now and climbing.

  • yea well i think i would take that back now. 46.4 degrees in melbourne, 85 dead, 1000 homes destroyed

  • Man you'd still bang georgina mcguiness..no matter how many guys she's slept with she's still a milf...

  • thank you, needed this for my assignment

  • amazing that this huge fire from Feb 1983 never get's much detailed media footage of it , just little hopeless snippets basically ..it's certainly something i'll never forget or that days massive dust storm ...never seen anything like it + 43 c on top of it all, so eerie.

    i can't see 1983 been repeated to that extent again though, 1997 yes, but not 83' not with today's - resources, speed, communications & better knowledge.

    their right about one thing though, people have'nt learnt, not one bit.
