Hmmm not sure about that. If its anything like Cairns at this time of year its hot and wet. Middle of the year is when the temps drop and its a great time to visit.Originally Posted by crazycanuck

I understand the totally helpless feeling. Completely.
New Orleans is still rebuilding after the 2005 hurricanes and levee failures/overtoppings.
I feel for all y'll in Oz with the bad bushfires. All I can say for the arsonists is they need to round up all his stuff, every single iota of things he hold dear, and burn it, and make him watch. Of course I'm assuming he as a thread of empathy. Which obvisouly he doesn't. May he rot in a dark hole some where.Beth

Beth, I can assure you the $*$*$8 arsonist now in police custody will not make any friends in jail. I'm sure the Coffin Cheaters & other gangs will make his life miserable.

What about the homeless families....where are they staying? Is the government providing them with temporary shelter?

homes
Sundial, there are people offering the bushfire displaced space at their homes. Also, there is a tent like city set up in one of the towns which was set up (i think) by reservists & now being helped out by the military.
The Red Cross is doing a great job!!! http://www.redcross.org.au/vic/servi...ppeal-2009.htm
The total $$ raised keeps growing..

Ok, I hope the government works more efficiently than ours when Hurricane Katrina hit.
