nothing but ashes

I had several people asking me recently whether my family was okay, and I have to admit I didn't at first know what they were talking about. Seems I really need to keep abreast of the news better, because when my mother-in-law mentioned bushfires back home I didn't think much of it (we get bushfires all the time), but apparently this was a Big One

i've been watching this on the news and its just so horrible :'(
I feel so bad for all the people who have lost loved ones and their homes

I'm glad your family's safe though!

I haven't watched the news once since I moved here; I'm not sure how much of it they've covered but I guess if my mother-in-law knew about it then it must have been on. I should make more of an effort to watch the news. I wish I could get the ABC news here or something! I almost never hear about what's happening back home.

I mostly get my news from the internet anyway

What do you use? I don't know of any good sites, and I have such trouble navigating them to find what I want.

I use the bbc mostly:

That's a good one, I stop by sometimes but not very often. They're good for world news.

www.abc.net.au/news is pretty good, or www.news.com.au for news + the trashy stuff.
