Thank you !


Hey folks,

Lot's of folks from "all-'round the globe" have been sending massive amounts of $$$ to help-out our fire victims, & the good people of the US-of-A  have been donating selflessly too, so thank-you all, very, very much !!! ( Bette Mildler is even challenging Rupert to cough-up some bread lol !).

And for what it's worth, a large dose of rain is expected mid-week for NSW & QLD, so hopefully some of the fires get quenched out completely.

Thanks again !!!

I heard that they caught a bunch of people who started these fires, AND, I have read or seen somewhere that ISIS was calling for their idiots to do just these sorts of things like setting wildfires!

What have you to say about that Rastus?

I'll also say that them Koala bears are pretty cute, at least the ones I have seen in the news reports coming right up to people looking for a drink of water. Pretty cool, although it's a shame they say the death toll for animals is going to top one billion :( they even say some species may have been made completely extinct by this fire! no

If it's true that a lot of these wild fires have been worse because of people starting them, then we need to do something about it! I know my California vacation was cut about a week short due to wild fires! It's no joke! 

Also makes me wonder about the 737 Max and how the only planes that went down were over in the middle east... never had an issue with any here in the USA.

It's getting spooky, but at least the donations prove there are still good people out there, even if some of them have to force others to shell out a little.

R1. Yes, there's "always" a chance that someone will start a fire deliberately. And that sux. For sure the worlds changing, & Isis is real. But considering today's technologies, "they" can follow you anywhere, & should you be a suspect, it's easy to learn where you were at what time by your cell-phone-signal.

R2. Koala's are generally self-sufficient I've been told, & keep away from people they don't know. That said, if a family lived in the tree outside, they'd get to know you over time, & become self sufficient "pets" that make themselves at home & are friendly lol ! It's a shame that so many animals are lost for sure.

R3. I remember your trip, that was a couple-of-years ago now with your wife, & you both had a great but tiring time, & a little disappointment too with re-bookings etc etc. People starting fires for personal gain is outrageous when people die & suffer because of it.

R4. Things that make you go hmmmmm....

R5. For my part, I didn't know all of this was going on, since the article isn't so much about the donations, as it is a shot at Rupert really, or made to look that way...Forcing his hand to cough-up some $$$...It's a free world lol, & everyone's opinion is equal & valid, but I wouldn't have a crack at someone like Rupert on the world media stage myself. It's no-one's business how much someone donates imo. It all helps. Fire victims first, Rupert 2nd yo.

LOL !

Here's an example of the "extreme" weather conditions that we're all likely to experience whilst the sun keeps-on heating us warmer & warmer. Remember that a week ago the fires were burning strong, & now....
