The situation is beyond critical


Picture from ABC News
Today I have moved. From my 39th floor "in the middle of the city" apartment across the river to good old Kangaroo Point. 

View from 39th


39th another angle

So now instead I have the views over the city or shall we say the Bris Vegas skyline. Not too bad


Maybe you can see on the pictures, which are taken this morning, that it seems to be a bit misty. When I came to the new apartment I also thought it smelled a little bit peculiar. Then I realised it´s not from the apartment and it´s not mist outside. It´s the smoke from bushfires around!
Australia is currently literally on fire. This morning on TV there was extra news continously reporting from the fires and the fire fighters heroic fights to save property. So far 3 people have been reported dead and 150 properties have been completely destroyed. There are so many tragedies out there now.
Everybody knows that there are fires every year in Australia but according to the news these are the worst ever, at least in numbers at the same time.



The map above shows where it´s burning right now and the title of this post is a quote from New South Wales Premier Gladys Berejiklian

Cheers
