Hello guys, i'm fine. A few of my friends live in buxton which has been burn't out. They also have two buisnesses in Marysville which has also been burn't out. They are now currently staying at a friends place in Healsville which is now under threat from ember attacks. On Saturday Lake Wendouree was on fire, but they put it out quickly. The Lake has been burnt on a number of occasions since late December. Anyway, thanks for your concern but i'm ok.

CHEERS,

That's a relief to know that you guy's are okay, just make sure you all stay safe. I feel sorry for anyone who has been affected by these Bushfires, as I know first hand how devastating they can be. We lost our house in the 2003 Canberra Bushfires, which I thought was a big fire... but nothing compared to what people are experiencing as we speak. The work the firefighters are doing is just amazing, and I'm sure they are looking forward to a WELL deserved rest when the fires have been contained.
