A day of rememberance

A day of emotions was had for most Australians yesterday as we remembered those fallen in Black Saturday....

The memorial service led by our Prime Minister Kevin Rudd declaring that on the 7th February from this day forward we fly our flags at half mast to remember those who were lost in the fires ....

A thank you sign written to many of the fire fighters by those saved ....

Just one of the many firefighting teams who helped ...

A sign to let people know how determined those left behind will rebuild putting their lives back together....

Today Victorians are on high alert again due to 4 fires still burning out of control...Weather conditions are not favouring the firefighters today as strong winds are forecasted....

Some of those country towns who have already had the fire come through their town are still under threat...

Everyone has been warned to activate their fire plans.....
