Such a terrible 😞😔 time in Australian 🐨🦘 history, devistating bushfires 😓😢 As always the Australian 🐨🦘 spirit of coming together during tragic times, shone through. 🙏💕💗

Wonderful to see a strong national unity of purpose. The whole nation coming together to help out in the face of terrible adversity.

Great to see this show. I remember how big the Ash Wednesday bushfires were. 16 turning 17 in 1983. What a year that was. See how well produced the Show was. To me Australians spoke so much better in that era. The 1939 fires Ash Wednesday 1983 Black Saturday 2009 2017 fires???? Bushfire happen in Australia, its a fact of life, but managing the the sub growth is vital for mitigation.

How did the fires start
