SOUTH AUSTRALIAN BUSHFIRES... Wednesday January 12, 11:40 AM
Death toll in Australian bushfires rises to 10 ADELAIDE, Australia (AFP) - The death toll in bushfires sweeping South Australia state rose to 10 after two more bodies were found on the state's Eyre Peninsula, police said. Police senior sergeant Kylie Walsh said the bodies were discovered in North Shields, a small township which was virtually destroyed by fire on Tuesday. She said six people were still missing. "However that number is fluid and will change constantly as the day progresses and more information comes to hand," she said. Walsh said police and State Emergency Service personnel were visiting the fire-damaged properties of those missing to check on them. Eight people, including two children aged four and two, were burned to death in cars while trying to escape the flames Tuesday. Five people were found dead on a road near the southern Eyre Peninsula town of Wanilla, two in one vehicle and three in another. Another three people died in a car on the Port Lincoln Highway at the nearby town of Poonindie. Our very own orger Natty lives about 20km from where these fires are... | |

Apparantly the fire moved so quickly that those that died were fleeing but just couldnt outrun the fires (in their cars). When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading. | |

...and the Canberra fires we've been reasonably lucky this summer...until now Mmm!! South Australia has a very warm climate, which Melbourne is experiencing at the moment!! Only it's even hotter there. Total Fire Ban...it's pretty scary, but bushland is probably more susceptable to these kindz of circumstances than inner suburban areas. Best to be cautious all da same though! Devastatingz. No hablo espanol,no!

Erm, no it's not. Seventy-two people died in the Ash Wednesday fires, and they were much more wide-spread. Life it ain't real funky unless you got that orgPop. | |
