The Black State?

Generally, Victoria is a beautiful green State with acres of lush rolling vegetation and crops.

Today, Victoria is a brown and tan state with the continuing, and tightening drought.

I think that by the end of January, we may be a black State the way the bushfires are raging.

Many are suspicious of how these fires started in the first place.

The restictions placed on firefighters must be frustrating to them as they battle to save life, houses and property.

There is no doubt dams will be affected following these terrible fires - as will the water.

Today it is very hot and everyone is heading for the air conditioners; it's the ony sensible thing to do. A light breeze in the air does nothing to quell the heat and more to cause viscious dust storms.

And the worst is to come .....
