Guest guest Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Tuesday, 12 December 2006, 08:29 GMT Homes hit by Australia bush fires Firefighters in Victoria are struggling to contain the blazes Thousands of firefighters in four states in Australia are tackling bushfires which have destroyed homes and thousands of acres of land. The worst blazes are centred on the southern island of Tasmania and in Victoria, where one fire front now stretches for some 250km (155 miles). Towns are at risk in Tasmania, where at least 20 homes have now been destroyed. Fires are also burning in New South Wales and in Western Australia. Bush fires are common in Australia's summer, but firefighters say a long-standing drought has made a dangerous time of year even more hazardous. Few injuries have so far been reported, but officials warn that the danger remains critical. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/6171211.stm Dasha: Ke/Ma since 28/07/2006. satva Jorge Angelino Rua da Sociedade Filarmónica Perpétua Azeitonense, 29 2925-598 Azeitão Portugal jorge.angelino mobile: Skype ID: +351963916784 jorge_angelino Add me to your address book...
