Hi Sandy,

The fires, as far as I know, have only affected the state of Victoria (where I am). I don't think anything bad has happened in New South Wales - they've had much milder weather, I think. Michael is in Queensland, which also is not affected by fires (though north Queensland has had some flooding, however, Michael's in the southern part of Queensland).

Australia's a big country, so states can be quite large! So in these different states, we're quite a long way from each other. (Michael, for example, is about 1,200 miles or 2,000 km away from me.)

Thanks for your note, Sandy (and to Sandi too)...

Best wishes,

Dien
