Taken out of today's paper. These men are just a small part of the CFA (country fire authority). The CFA does have employees, but so many are just normal everyday people who volunteer to put their lives on hold and at risk to protect their community. Here are four of them. Hero and thank you are...

Listening to the ABC this morning, they were broadcasting a message to the members of general public, that have been ringing to enquire about whether or not the cafes in Healesville are open for business. People are still wanting a day out either sightseeing or for window shopping. I think the...

1831 homes destroyed 7000 people homeless :( :( :( I know I have cross posted this request for donations on another thread and forum, but it is a worthy cause. The Vet Practice Bushfire Relief Effort is calling for donations. They have been providing FREE veterinary treatment for injured...

I know most of the Aussies on here will have dug deep into their pockets either with the Red Cross or the VCA fund raisers, but I would like to add another cause to the list. I have just been watching a story on the vets that are providing free veterinary care for pets (and wildlife) injured in...

Linda, I am just so pleased to see you back online safe and well. I sensed how frigthened you were on Saturday night, which is why I stayed on line until you left for safety. I can't even begin to imagine what you have gone through. The last few days have just been beyond belief. Karen

CFA have just downgraded the threat to Healesville. They still have problems up there though.

Keep safe Gail and the Two Peter's. I am listening to 774 and it is not sounding good up Linda's way. They were having problems with their water supply, thankfully that has been fixed, but they are under ember attack in streets surrounding her home.

This has changed now Lida. Streets surrounding Linda's are under ember attack.

Listening the radio, I have just heard that someone broke into a Geelong CFA unit on Saturday night and stole items. What is wrong with some people :angry:

Kirislin was evacuating very late last night. She hasn't been on line since evacuating. If anyone hears from her please let us know. Take care all of you that live in affected areas. :luck: :luck: :luck: :luck: Karen

I was on line with Kirislin last night (The Whippet Forum). It was after midnight, she was very frightened, and was getting ready to evacuate. Healesville area (I think). She has not been back online today. Would love to hear from anyone who knows how she is. Hope all those that live in at...

That was fantastic to watch Lesley. She looks so happy. I guess it has been a real team effort, well done to you, your family, Sienna and your vets :thumbsup: Karen

I use to love going to the pictures, but living out of town these days, I rarely go. Heard Jennifer is whipping Brads arse at the box office with this film :lol: We watched the Bucket List with Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman last night (DVD). Good movie :thumbsup: Karen

Congratulations Peter :thumbsup:

You know Janis, I darn't put up a christmas tree with Little Miss Phoebe around (w00t) She loves to have a little play after tea in the evening, and will go and fetch a toy from the toy box. She is such a she devil, we can see her taking a flying leap at something as exciting as a...

I did a postal proceedure session several years back, as part of my job. I would imagine that the technology used in Australia would apply to the UK. Letters go through some sort of scanning system. The computer can dectect most types of handwritting. What it is looking for is lower case on...
