Hi guys,
I don't know if this is being covered in the news overseas but Country Towns in Victoria, Australia are being destroyed by huge fires covering thousands upon thousands of hectares.
Whole towns have been completely wiped out and so far over 170 people have died in the fires.
Australia is pulling together and donating everything they can, have look at some of the news stories and if you feel inclined maybe donate something, every dollar counts.
The bet place to donate is through the Red Cross who are doing a tremendous job helping people:

News articles can be found through Google or Aus newspapers:
http://www.theage.com.au and
www.heraldsun.com.au
Facebook has a number of groups with information on them about the fires, just search for 'bushfire' 'victoria' 'cfa'.
(In case anyone is wondering I am nowhere near the trouble spots but have quite a few friends in dangerous areas.)
Thanks guys,
Mario
