from my home i can see most of the mountains and areas that have been hit with bushfire in the north east. words can't describe the situation. some of my friends have lost everything, and i've lost some of my friends. mother nature took everything in her path, homes, lives, old country towns are burnt to the ground. so much can't be replaced. so much. some fires are approximately 10kms, 2 suburbs away from my home. we're the lucky ones. we've had smaller fires on the border of our suburb but all have been put out. in three days the state has lost so much. things will never be the same.
