        Bulletman, I believe Eggie hails from the central coast, there are no problems there as yet, unsure where Wonder comes come

        Things are O.K here in the north of NSW, but the forecast is for hotter days to come, the southern area's in the state are doing it tough though, at least Tasmania has some very welcome rain in some of the problem area's. Though the fire situation changes quickly

          I am happy, you are OK. too. I cant imagine how many wild animal are perishing in that fire. They have no chance. I pray for all of them and everyone that is affected.

          We're safe here in Brisbane Ann.My brother is in a spot of bother tho.He's a volunteer fire fighter in Southern NSW. I haven't been able to contact him.I guess he's too busy. Tasmania is getting it really bad although they are expecting a weather change there today that should ease things a bit.Thanks for your concern.Tom.

            I am glad you are OK/and sincerely hope your brother is too.
            I was reading that the 8 day heatwave , end of December was the fiercest in 80 years.
            Stay safe. Hope to hear from the rest of our akaQA friends in Australia.

            BTW.We have 7 states.The Northern Territory is a territory in name only.It achieved Statehood some years ago. Just a bit of useless trivia that might come in handy one day.LOL

            I should say...we have 7 states including the Northern Territory plus 1 Territory,the Australian Capitol Territory (A.C.T. or Canberra.) But who cares about that.Only Politicians live there.LOL.

            Thank you for correcting me. I read the story in the Associated Press. They printed 5 out of 6 states are affected and forgot to mention the 7th state.

            I'm not correcting You Ann.I's just my job to educate people about OZ.Do you know that more than half Aussies can tell you that the USA has 50 states but can't say for certain how many we have? The same half can tell you who was the first American president but can't tell you who was the first Aussie prime minister? Ridiculous,but true.

            You are right Tom, kids under 35 know more about American History than there own. ---- Edmond Barton. Oh going by this site , i have noticed some American don't know exactly how many States in the U.S. , most likely the younger ones.

            Thanks for your concern Ann.Fortunately i am not affected, but the smell of the fires is unnerving.

              Thank God, you are OK. I cant help thinking of all the animals that will die in these fires. God bless them all and all the people affected.
