Victoria, Australia, is a nice place to stay and live.
Picture tells a thousand words.


Isn't this a nice picture of Australia?
The actual location where this photo taken will be the roof of the Doncaster Shopping Mall.
Such an awesome photo... It look like dawn to me... 

Not till Peter told me, in this photo, the sky should be clear, which clearly not as shown in the photo. 

Peter further unveil the photo's caption to me. The reddish part, is actually fire while the sky is so dark because it had been covered by the smoke. 

I took a step back and gasped. He must be kidding me!!

He further send me this link, click here and here, I couldn't believe what I saw. The grey-ish part on the map, are places the bushfire destroyed. And Peter also informed me that, it is a gross total, as to date, of 3000 hector of land.

Holly crap, is my only reaction.

The best thing is, my sister's place is located at Duncaster as well. Few blocks down the road from the photo above.

Good news is, the bushfire wont reach them, at least that's what the they said.

Sigh, it is as if the mother nature is fooling us. We have thunderstorm EVERYDAY while in Australia they have bushfire and water restrictions.  
How irony. 

Did something running in your stream of though now? After seeing the photos?

What I'm trying to tell is, don't whine when there's rain and don't complain when the water bill cost a bomb. Because someone would willing to pay more for water and willing to do the rain dance virtual for the rain.

And, be glad that Malaysia does not have wildfire nor it bushfire, yet.

Love,
Nichole
