The stories coming from Kinglake and Marysville and all of the other areas of Victoria devastated by bushfire this week are harrowing.It is impossible to imagine how those people must be feeling. It's difficult to grasp the terror they have experienced or the grief at having lost their homes and all of their possessions let alone trying to sense what they feel at the loss of loved ones.
The response has already been overwhelmingly generous from the Australian community. People have heeded the calls from the Red Cross to give blood, others are donating time and money and even offering to share their homes. The generosity is wonderful. Just reading some of the posts at the ABC blog website is a reminder of the good in people http://blogs.abc.net.au/victoria/2009/02/offer-help---or.html.
