Yes the situation is dire for Victoria. Living in Mt beauty now for about 12 years I have seen the entire area burn in both 2003 and 2006 and again now we have fires burning in the Alpine National Park above the town and in the Kancoona area behind the town.
The ash and burnt leaves and bark falling from the sky is a grim reminder of the devestation areas like Kinglake are going through at the moment. The temprature here has already past the 35 degree mark with little prospects of the tempratures dropping.
My heart goes out to the communities devastated in these fires and to the families who have lost everything and in some cases everyone they love.
Hopefully therain reported as falling over the Ballarat area will extend over the state and assist our hero fire fighters.
We must also remember the plight of the communities in Northern Queensland who are under flood conditions at the moment.
