[Margaret Pilkington]

This may seem to be a subject that is far removed from the interests of Accyweb.
And the term 'Bush' fire makes you think that it involves the vast uninhabitated places of that big country. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Currently the fires are raging and taking lives of whole communities just about 30 miles from Australia's second city,Melbourne.
We have family and friends out there, and are thinking of them and feeling very impotent.
All I ask is that during a quiet moment in your life you think of these people for a minute......after all, a thought is as good as a prayer...for those who do not believe in such things.
We do have contributors from Oz and we should think about them too and hope that they and their families stay safe.

Thanks in anticipation.
