Hey folks, we all know, how bad the fire season can be.
And there are enough links out there, to see the pics and stories. BUT,
If anyone knows a member who might be, in the areas effected, Drop the site a message, it can be private if you like. And we will drop a look, and see if they have logged in, or will drop them a message.
We did a similar thing, when Brisbane had its floods, and the cyclone season, up north as well.
State of emergency in NSW amid worsening fire conditions.

A state of Emergency has been declared in NSW as parts of the state face the most dangerous combination of warm, dry weather and strong winds in more than 40 years as major bushfires swep the state.
"We're planning for the worst but hoping for the best", Premier Barry O'Farrell told reporters, flanked by Rural Fire Service Commissioner Shane Fitzsimmons.
Fire crews ramped up containment efforts around several of the blazes with the weather forecast to deteriorate and officials warning of "unparalleled" dangers.
More than 200 homes have already been destroyed and another 120 damaged by the wildfires.
One man has died so far trying to protect his property.
Firefighters had a reprieve on Friday and Saturday with an easing in the weather, but containment and property protection efforts were stepped up on Sunday ahead of an expected intensification in weather conditions set to include warmer temperatures and 100 kilometre per hour (60 mile per hour) winds.
New South Wales Rural Fire Service Commissioner Shane Fitzsimmons said there would be several extremely difficult days ahead for fire crews.
"We've got what would be unparalleled in terms of risk and exposure for the Blue Mountains and Hawkesbury communities throughout this week," Fitzsimmons told reporters.
Thank you Rose
A great reminder to be on the lookout for everyone out there friend or not. It wasn't that long ago we went through the same.
Perhaps it may be a good time for those hosting a 'Meet and Greet' around the country to maybe turn them into fundraisers.
Just a suggestion.
Thanks Anthony.
