I don't know what the international coverage is like, but the only thing on the news out here is the bushfires in the state of Victoria. They were showing some footage from the areas affected- these towns are literally in view of downtown Melbourne. The fires moved so fast that folks in the community of Kingslake had 2 mintues notice from when the smoke moved in to when fire was licking at their doors. Many people got caught in their cars trying to escape and others in their homes. It seems like such an awful way to go. The chef here at Auski told me that his girlfriend's parents, grandparents, and auntie's houses all are gone. It certainly puts things in perspective- all my little petty issues and complaints pale in comparison.
