Black Saturday

Okay so Black Saturday was a horrible day for Victoria. Worst bushfires we have seen, and many of us know people who were directly affected.

To be honest, we had no idea on the day. In fact, we didn't even realise just how hot it was. We had a great day. Kick-on in the park, nuts, melted chocolate, tree climbing, sprinklers and hose fights.

It wasn't til a few days later that we realised how serious the fires were, and that one of our good friends had lost her home.

Daniel went up to her place and got some amazing photos of the devastation, 2 of which got published in the Herald Sun.

So although Black Saturday was surely the worst day of some people's lives, for us it turned out to be a pretty positive day. Rather than feel guilty about that, I say at least some good came out of it. Props for the photos Daniel!

Now I went to Sound Relief yesterday. Longest day ever. Stood up all day in the torrential downpour of rain, on 2 hours sleep, scattered as fuck, no coffee, no food, no cigarettes. But spirits were high. It was one of the most amazing things you could imagine, 80000+ people yelling out the lyrics to classic Aussie rock tunes in unity, drenched to the bone, never forgetting the cause we were there for.
