Yes Aviator Sydney is a beautiful city.I live about 45mins from the centre and don't go in often enough.I never get tired of the harbour-love having lunch in view of the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge.Always feel very fortunate at those times.
Our state of Victoria is in a terrible situation at the moment due to bushfires.The expectation is that 300+ lives have been lost.The area hit is a beautiful area and very old in Australian terms.Most of the homes would have been old weatherboard and most do not have insurance. I guess most of us get it due to the likelihood of theft and these communities would have been the type where people didn't even need to lock their front doors ever.I taught in such a community and know how intertwined the families are.Those that survived will be very truamatised.
We live close to the bush but I wouldn't say we are in danger of bushfires unless it throws out a lot of embers in a strong wind.Had a close call a few years ago but generally we are OK.
The media are doing there bit to turn the terrible tragedy into a media circus.I know they have a job to do but they certainly must go home ashamed of their reporting techniques.
