It seems to have died down now, but Victoria is still on Very High Fire Danger alert.

Its bad. Real bad. Worse than Ash Wednesday fires. And those were horrific.

Go a few thousand km's north, towns are flooded. Mackay is about to get hit, could be flooded on the same weekend it was flooded last year. The floods are causing hundreds of millions of damages. And then fires. 5 year old boy jumped into the floodwater after his dog, croc got him. Bugger.
