Isn't Claude Edwards an Aussie too? The picture of the little guy above reminded me of his avatar.

He should be ok, he lives in Queensland up north eastern side of Oz.

As for this tragedy, my heart goes out to all involved and the Australian nation as a whole, made a donation through international red cross fund for the disaster.

And to anyone who started a fire, or then re-started them after they had been put under some control, well prison is too good for these people. I am not one to agree with the death penalty, but these freaks would get a damn good kick in by me thats for sure. How they could be so twisted and foolish is beyond me.

Love to you all Ed, Brad, Andrew, Dave, Jeff, Rose, Wiz and anyone else who lives in Oz.

on a lighter note, the pre-marital girlfriend of this fire fighter would be referred to as a Ms or Miss, quite literally making her a total Miss-Tree


whats that you say, I should be a comedian

So many others, human and wildlife, have not been so lucky. Always glad to see the little stories of hope emerge from so many stories of devastation.
