React a lot quicker.

While it's great he's now offered help I sincerely hope if the UK is ever facing such a disaster other countries are a lot quicker in offering us help.

An astonishing photo capturing the catastrophic bushfires ravaging northern New South Wales has left the world stunned.
Zach Firth, who was on a plane flying from the Gold Coast to Melbourne on Friday night, took the photo just north of Coffs Harbour.

I have a friend in Perth and I spoke to him on Christmas Day. They've not had such awful fires as they have in the east, but he said it was the hottest Christmas for years, almost up to 40 degrees. It's all a bit of a nightmare.

Bush fires are a natural part of Australias Ecosystem. I believe the problem with the current ones is that they have been controlled so much over the past recent years that the foliage has become so dense in places that it was a tinder box ready to explode. Rather than a direct consequence of climate change.

I have stopped watching these videos they are so heartbreaking, I pray that they get some heavy rains and the fires can be controlled soon.

...yeah, the rain is quite significant now...but bringing it’s own problems...it’s not enough to extinguish all of the fires and is causing some heavy flooding damage...there are concerns about flash flooding and mud slides also...and lightening from the storms sparking new fires...it’s still one scary day at a time for so many people...poor Australia.....
