Really sad to hear Mark and Robyn have lost their beautiful(& fast) Cobra. They really loved that car and during my conversations with them at the Nationals they indicated they would never part with it.
It is nice to hear that their house was saved.
My thoughts and heart felt wishes go out to all that have been affected. It would be a devastating time. As mentioned the courage & efforts shown by both residents and the many emergency services personal is inspiring.
While not related to this fire I don't believe, I'm all for 20 public lashes for every dushbag that throws a cigarette out the window in this country. Surely we are not serious about fires in the tinderbox we live without this added act of benile stupidity entering the equation. It is my number one hate in this country by far.
I'm not anti smoker, if ya want a slow painful death by choice go ahead but one butt can kill and destroy an aweful lot if not disposed of properly.
Stay safe... There's sadly more to come this summer by all reports.
