[kcdusk]

kcdusk reporting in fine and unharmed. The fires were many miles from me. They were all in the lower right hand side of australia for those of you only familiar with its shape (or in victoria for those looking for more detail).

My sister used to live in ferntree gully, melbourne, and fires sprang up around there today/yesterday. She has since moved out of melbourne though so she is fine.

Speaking on behalf of others until they check in.

Targan - he is on the opposite side of the nation, so i assume he is fine.
Chalkline is Tasmania, which is close, but theres a fair body of water between the Isle of Tasmania and where the fires were.
Badbru (hey, keep the pizzas coming!) is also Perth which is the far side of Oz.

I cant think of anyone else from australia ... (this line is going to haunt me i think!).

Thanks to those who passed there thoughts on, especially the church goers in the USA who were "happy to see the homos in australia burning like god intended". That was classic.
