A thesising we will go...

The bush fires have come and not yet really gone. Marysville and Kinglake are not anymore. You may remember a little update a while back about a trip to Marysville just before Christmas. The resort is no longer, either. It has been pretty horrific, but in typical Aussie "she'll be 'right mate" spirit, they are already getting a move on and starting to rebuild. Over $100 million has been donated by fellow Aussies.

I'm going to be madly, truly, deeply writing for the next month and a half with little to distract me from being sensible and having a life. However, it is all for a good cause. Canberra went exceedingly well. Full stop. This all means that I'm not expecting to breathe terribly often until the beginning of April. Please don't be discouraged if there is not a return to frequent updating as I'm mostly wearing my fingers to little bloody nubs on my keyboard during the day. I'll try keeping things flowing bloggerly throughout the writing up process... In the meantime:

While I was in Canberra, we celebrated Australia Day. They really put on a show with the fireworks in the nation's capitol, preceded by skydivers:


The flag was fluttering proudly:


And, did I mention that it was windy on Kosciuszko?

You forgot to mention Sam the Koala.

PS: Canadian firefighters flew in to give the Aussies a break and help contain the fires. Great people Canadians!
