I have posted links on my blog in the UK to the various relief appeal sites and to people gathering handmade items to distribute. It feels very little in the circumstances.

I hope you and all of your family and friends are OK. I sometimes wonder what is happening on our little world, it is such a tragedy when something like this happens, both for the people the wildlife. The great thing is that people get together and help each other in a crisis and show that they are very much caring. This is a very touching photo!!!Ann Christine Dennisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04469054449893163741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-328794579302152292.post-22614941529546918722009-02-12T02:15:00.000+11:002009-02-12T02:15:00.000+11:00I just saw images of what's been happening in Aust...I just saw images of what's been happening in Australia over the weekend in Canada.

The firefighters were driving around re-checking areas when they came upon her (Sam the koala) and they walked up to her and the fireman offered the bottle of water and she put her paw out and guzzled it up. She ended up drinking 3 whole bottles altogether! The other fireman took videa footage and that's where the picture comes from. Beautiful isn't it?! I cried happy tears for the first time this week when I saw it, and then sad tears again when they showed another koala who was badly burned, and when they picked her up she "screamed". Oh it just broke my heart! I wanted to go to her and tell her everything would be alright! If only I lived in Vic and not QLD I would be there along side the RSPCA or W.I.R.E.S or Wildlife Vic tending to these poor darlings! <BR/>I hope your sister is still ok. I heard something about Kangaroo Ground on tv but can't remember what exactly. And I hope the fires don't change direction again and come back near you. Actually, I hope they saty exactly where they are and not destroy another blade of grass. It rained here last night and I wished so so hard that we could send it down to you. We're flooding here and you guys need it!<BR/>Anyway...I think I've out-written myself. Prayers and thoughts are with all of you down there.<BR/>Manda. xxxmandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18333704467312126616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-328794579302152292.post-36252861407153587072009-02-11T21:19:00.000+11:002009-02-11T21:19:00.000+11:00thinking of youxxxmandythinking of you<BR/>xxx<BR/>mandyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-328794579302152292.post-45689391946414782042009-02-11T19:10:00.000+11:002009-02-11T19:10:00.000+11:00What a wonderful photo.
