maggies_lensYou guys need to all watch this, seriously, you NEED to. In the midst of all this tragedy around me, the dispair, the horror, the loss of life, this has brought tears to my eyes like nothing else. HAPPY tears. This is David Tree from the Mirboo North CFA, and his friend Sam the koala. This shows everything we are about.
This photo is now famous, beemed all over the world. You can buy it at www.heraldsun.com.au and all the proceeds go to helping the animals effected by this terrible week. It's only $20 Australian. That about $10 US.
Sam was taken off the fire-ground along with numeour other animal survivors and is now in the hands of a wildlife carer. Now THOSE guys are heroes!!!!! They and all the other vols from various assoc.'s deserve just as much kudos as we FF's.
Poor little koala-bear (who isn't a bear). So glad she is going to be alright.

Date: 2009-02-11 09:20 am (UTC)i know... so sad, but so uplifting. isn't it so typical tho, to grab hold of something, no matter how small, & find hope? i bawled my eyes out at the two couples last night on the news who 'found' each other. god, the footage of the lady running across the lawn to her man just broke my goddamn heart into a million pieces.
