Wildfires in Australia have caused the destruction of about 90 homes. Families have been escaping the flames by any and all means. Below one family shows their determination to escape.
These emotive pictures of the children clinging together around their grandmother under a jetty were taken by their grandfather Tim Holmes. This all took place in the Tasmanian town of Dunalley. The family was forced to wait the fire out as it consumed all nearby residences.

So yeh, I live in Kalgoorlie, our temps the past week have been all 48 degrees.Oh and no rain to boot. My lawn is UBER crunchy. It doesn't usually occur this early in the year. Feb is when we mainly get our real bad highs.
My thoughts with anyone suffering through these fires.
