The fires of hell

My home state of Victoria is in crisis.

In stark contrast, vast areas of the northern state of Queensland are flooded.

Australia is a bit of a mess right now. Communities are rallying around.

People are donating food, blankets, clothing, toys etc.

I am very lucky, living in the middle of Melbourne, far away from the tragedy. 

The death toll keeps rising and my heart is breaking.

And then there's this pic from photographer Russell Vickery at the Herald-Sun, which is so sweet and tender I want to cry.
