Hey there, thanks for your reply. I don't think I could have said it better than you have here...Spoken like someone who has been here, as you have, seen these areas and understands. Thank you.

Yes, it is devastating and so difficult for people that haven't been here to understand. I think that's why people have trouble commenting on posts like this, however most have been very supportive of course.

We will get through it as a country and whilst there's a lot of anger and emotion at the moment, some of which is being aimed at the Prime Minister and the government, eventually the work of clearing away the rubble and rebuilding will start. Aussies are good at just getting on with it.

Thanks again and I hope you have a great weekend.
