Here are links to organizations you can donate to as Australia battles their horrendous fires…
Australia has been battling bushfires since September, and there seems to be no end in sight. As of this morning more than 12 million acres have burned which is roughly the size of New Hampshire and Vermont combined.

As of yesterday, 24 people have been killed, and at least 6 are missing in Victoria. It’s feared that half a billion animals thus far have perished including 30% of the koala population.

Nice reblog, John.
I saw a video clip on Twitter yesterday, little koala bears on fire at the side of the road, still alive.
Absolutely heartbreaking.
Best wishes, Pete.

Thanks for sharing this information John. My town of Tumbarumba has been badly affected by the fires and another bad few days are coming up. I’ve written a post recently about the worry of it all. Wishing it would end!
