The horrible toll continues. Now up to 181. The out pouring of grief by Australians and all across the world has been over whelming. Up till late last night the public of Australia had donated $30 million. The overall total is in excess of $60 million.Bearing in mind our population is only 21 million. Goods and food is being freighted free from all over Australia. No truck is going empty back to Victoria. Hay has started to roll into the area for the livestock. A lot of this hay would have been donated from farmers that could ill afford to give up any of their supplies,because a lot of the souther parts are still in drought. Nearly every town and village has a fund raiser organized over the next week. Our little town of 4,000 will probably raise more than $100,000. I heard that a B Double of hay is going from the hay growing area 50 miles to our west to Victoria. Its about 1600 ks (1,000 miles) from here to there.Offers of agistment are pouring in as well.
All the Australians on the board will keep you posted.
