RE: Our Burning Land.

in #environment5 years ago

I was down on the Franklin-Gordon protesting and we won. We nearly lost our home in Ash Wednesday. I have worked as a consultant to Greenpeace and the Wilderness Society.

It all grieves me deeply. I watch, and watch and I honestly don't know what will help anymore.

Sending love and hoping the Adelaide hills are spared some of the worst of it - they have done it hard, so many times.

Just looked up the Franklin-Gordon. What an amazing result. I notice the claim theses days when putting in dams is to "manage" the water. Makes it sounds like theyre doing a good thing that way.

The first story about bushfires I heard when we arrived here was the Ash Wednesday fires. Then shortly after arrival Victoria had the Black Saturday. Just horrific.

When wee had the Sampson Flat fires a few years ago there were fears it would become another Ash Wednesday. Thankfully they did an amazing job keeping that under control. Also luck with the wind changing every time they thought it would reach some of the outer suburbs.
