Death Toll risen to 108

What can one say....
It`s been a sickening sight to watch and even more so to know that someone could have possibly lit these fires diliberately....
The horror stories that are coming out of these townships have made me so sad I cried ....
People trying to flee only to get caught up in fire front....
No hope of escaping.....

The innocent lives that have been lost, homes that have been destroyed is the worst in Australias history....

Just devastating...

    There saying over 200 now.... can't watch the news or read the paper now....BUT I love listening to Amanda Blair during the day, unfortunately she has dedicated the whole show to it....good stuff though, collecting donations, CFS offering advice to Hills residents etc.

    I reckon the government should hold onto those $950 payments for this cause!

    Hi Mandy,

    Yes it is tragic. One can't imagine how these people must feel having lost everything including loved ones. If we could only direct the water from north Qld down there.

    This is pure horror, and to think one of our own did this...not some terrorist or sick and twisted nutter. One of us!
    Surely lighting fires in Australia is attempted murder..or in this case Pure Murder!

    Mandy, there are no words. I understand that the weather conditions later in the week could add to the problems.

    We are looking to do whatever we can to help as I have lived almost as many years in Victoria as NSW
