Title: Australia's misplaced resources
Post by: guest7 on February 07, 2011, 08:12:35 AM

We've all experienced that moment when we have tool we need for the job in hand, but it is at another location. It seems to me that Australia is having just such an issue at the minute...

Now if only they had a massive surplus of water to use on the fires...

Thanks for your concern Graham.
I have just learnt that a close friend and her partner were in the middle of it. Their home was saved because Dave had installed a sprinkler system over the roof of the house. The properties on either side were destroyed. Trish and Dave had the front yard razed by the fire..At least there is some good news out of this.

A bit like suggesting that norway provide water for egyptian water cannons. It's a tough place, makes for tough people.

Glad your mate was OK Kurt.
