Petals Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Just a heads up for us to think of our Tassie members who may be affected by the fires there. They are awful. Its a long time since Tassie went up in smoke but unlike the mainland they are stuck there and its not such a huge place to find refuge in. Fortunately they have been evacuating people by boat from the Peninsula. Lets pray for rain for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the 1967 bushfires a Scottish newspaper reported that the entire population of Tasmania had been evacuated by submarine! :biggrin: But a good drenching rain is what we need. It is the only thing which will really kill the fire risk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candygirl Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Saw them on Sky News last night. Absolutely heartbreaking for the people over there. Our thoughts are with you. Stay safe!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
