One year ago, 7th February bushfires razed parts of Victoria wiping out towns and lost of life.
Topic was set by a chatter summed it up:

"1 yr ago Black Saturday hit...To all of you that were affected and lost loved ones on that fateful day last year, our thoughts are with you all....As the land heals, we hope you all are too...To those whos lives were taken too soon...Rest in Peace"

May everyone pause for a moment and remember the day 12 months ago.
