As bushfires continue to burn across Victoria, the death toll stands at
108 people. 750 homes, 330 thousand hectres, and the entire townships
of Kinglake and Marysville have all been lost tofires that authorities say could take weeks to contain.
Perhaps most terrifying is that the bushfires that burned mostly in the North-East and South-East of Victoria are being treated as crime scenes as arson is suspected in some cases. Through the tragedy though, there are also amazing stories of real heroism, bravery and generosity.
So instead of worrying about who pashed whom on Friday night, or if somebody's Facebook status update is stupid, or if you look a little fatty-boom-batty in your jeans today, spare a thought. And some dollars:
