Well that is for WA, the western 1/3rd of Australia. I hear the Nullabor has been closed to traffic the last week (basically the one road linking WA to the rest of Australia). To give a sense of scale to you Americans, imagine that not only is California on fire, but also Colorado, Kansas and Nebraska, as well as New York State, Pensylvania and North Carolina. It is truly unprecendented in Australian history, and larger by a significant multiple than last year's Siberian bushfires. I am optimisitic that this might be a sufficient jolt to cause us (as in humanity) to take action - to jump out of the pot that has been slowing heating up, instead of boiling to death like the luckless frog. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr Russell Standish Phone 0425 253119 (mobile) Principal, High Performance Coders [email protected] http://www.hpcoders.com.au ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College to unsubscribe http://redfish.com/mailman/listinfo/friam_redfish.com archives back to 2003: http://friam.471366.n2.nabble.com/ FRIAM-COMIC http://friam-comic.blogspot.com/ by Dr. Strangelove
