I have been following the progression of the fires quite closely, and just when it seems that they are really starting to tamp down they flare up anew. I don't know whether you follow Elephant's Child's blog, but she is in Canberra and fires are now ten kilometres from her home, and the smoke is making it difficult to go outside. And people tell me that February is usually the hottest month of the year. It is a catastrophe of major proportions for the entire world. And your prime minister, duly elected by Australian voters, wants to mine more coal. It boggles the mind.David M.
