The guy with the kitty is one of Cam's childhood friends. We just found out he is safe! We knew his house was destroyed (he lived in Narbethong) - but didn't know where he was. But there he is. With car, cat and canary.
How good is the internet for gathering vital information? Sheeh. We found this picture of Wayne here.
The couple who work at our local newsagent luckily didn't lose their house to the fires - but the rest of their property was destroyed. Luckily their horse, and some of their livestock survived. But all their chooks were killed and their beautiful garden destroyed. The heroes of the CFA saved their house by bombing it with water. And they escaped with their lives. Fantastic.
