Foxy lives nearby at Khancoban in the Snowy Mountains but he's got his hands
full with his own ring of fires. He had 23 bushfires around them a week ago.
These Canberra bushfires and the ones around Sydney before Christmas are the
worst in over a hundred years. And now we've got a host of them starting in
Victoria as well.

Do we have any list members photographing the mess in Canberra? Scary stuff.

One of our most photogenic cities was yesterday partly decimated by summer
bushfires. Currently the toll amounts to 4 people dead with about 30
injured, some seriously, and 388 homes gutted. The city is Canberra, our
national capital and emergency services report that the worst is not yet
over.
