The news your not getting

[Clancy]

For 5 weeks Central Australia has been burning.
For some reason they're not bothering to report it in the news back east.
So here's some links to some local reports in case your interested at all.
Also, a big thanks to all those Darwin & Sth Australian fire crews that have been down/up here helping out.
My wife is in contact daily with the local firies & emergency centre staff and they are all dead on their feet.
