We hope our NT members in Australia are ok as the fire situation there continues.
Our prayers are lifted for Australia, and much hope for drenching rain.

Thank you Chemar.
I have not been directly affected by the fires (the closest was a few km away) but there is a strong smell of smoke most days. As you say, some soaking rain would be good.

Chemar, up-dating this.
Good soaking rain has arrived . So far in February we have got about 150 mm with more to come. The weather system will move south; the rain will help with the fires there.

It's difficult to believe that this thread was started almost a year ago (thankyou Chemar) and Australia seemed like hell on earth. It's different this year with La Nina weather system and a rainy summer predicted, especially where I live anyway. Then the last message that Kiwi posted regarding the rain was around a month before the WHO made a declaration of the pandemic.
So, I belong to WIRES which is a wildlife rescue organization very active in the area where I used to live. I'd read so many sad stories and some really positive stories coming out of the rescues that were done, but then reality hit home again today as I was reading a report from the World Wide Fund for Nature (World Wildlife Fund)regarding the impact the fires of 2019/2020 had on our wildlife. Info below is from WWF. I didn't want to post the url for the report because it showed triggering images. <<3 Billion animals (mammals, reptiles, birds, and frogs) were killed or displaced. 143 million mammals, 2.46 billion reptiles, 181 million birds, and 51 million frogs occupied areas hit by the fires.>> An unprecedented tragedy and it was all so quickly forgotten because of the wretched virus. Unbelievably sad. Last edited by Lara; 12-29-2020 at 03:37 AM. Reason: fixed date |

Thanks Lara.
I am a member of WIRES as is one of my neigbouring families. At least my colony of Brush Turkeys is thriving; lots of new chicks have emerged.
