If there’s one thing to come out of this absolute devastation, it’s the true meaning of the Australian community and mateship.
Words don't describe the sadness, devastation, and loss.
In Australia you have to love all things or you wouldn't stay here. That year there was fire all around the country. Other years parts have been on fire and other parts were dealing with floods. It seems we are almost constantly dealing with drought in one part of the country or the other and when there is a problem the part of the country that is in better circumstances pulls together to help the ones that have the biggest problems. There is major rivalry between states but when it comes down to it almost everyone else is so far away that we have to deal with it ourselves. New Zealand has in the past week or so been dealt with two huge disasters. Floods and an earthquake. Just as they help Australia when we need it most we have sent help over to get things done over there. Prayers for the safety and well being of those in NZ
i still cant watch this without tearing up
Between the fires, floods and droughts it can be a struggle to stay on top of it all. But when it's good, it's simply an unbeatable place to live. That's why we stay. I've lived thru these times and been personally affected more than once, and while it is hard to let go of some of the innumerable losses, so long as you have your life, you just have to keep moving forward and hope for the best.
🤞
Neal - I popped a comment on Pt 1 just a couple of hours ago. Please look at the link I posted. I know you’ve seen the map of Australia placed over the top of the mainland USA and size similarity. Scroll down in that Dec 20th 2019 story link and it shows you how much of Australia was burning outside capital cities in each state. It’s almost unfathomable. When people said “Australia is burning” at the time - that map shows what was going on.
It also shows why citizens immediately and aggressively turned on our Prime Minister who was photographed drinking a beer with some Aussie tourists in Hawaii while these bushfires were raging from state to state over 10-12 weeks.
His behaviour was disgraceful but 'He doesn't hold the hose' right? What a twat. Could he be anymore unAustralian? 🇦🇺
C'mon Aussie🦘
I love being an Aussie this shows the tru meaning of MATEship. We are one we are many!!

There is one woman in NSW who had been a wildlife carer for years nursing kangaroo joeys back to health so they could be released back into the bush. The far end of her property backs onto bushland. The morning after fire swept through the area she got up to find 49 kangaroos sheltering in her garage. When the fire swept through they all came home to Mum.
We really copped it as after months and months of fires then COVID hit..but we showed the true aussie spirit and helped each other. We were close to fires but safe to stay in house but even something minor like my daughters asthma played up big time.. ste hadn’t had asthma attack for at least two years but during this time she had three major attacks and she was inside house. So for all the aussies much worse affected they are the real survivors and champions ❤❤❤
It is so sweet of you to react to this. 💔 we also had the black Tuesday fires here in Tasmania Australia I have the the link in my playlist the darkest days in Tasmania. Both happened before I was born, I watched this first, then ours second and cried so much. I was so proud, all over the world natural disasters bring human beings together, they'll risk there lives for strangers, and yet...😒 here in youtube world people struggle to be kind and hit the like button, so I'm stopping by all my favourite people to say goodbye, because *those* people have broken my spirit. They came together for 9/11 for the Japanese tsunami, and for all the horrible things that are happening right now, I have to watch a few more of your videos so I can remember your smile 🥲🥲🌟🦘🇦🇺 I'm so sorry I haven't commented enough. You are awesome ❤️🩹🤍❤️🩹👍👍👍👍👍👍👍.
It might not mean much but I think you are awesome ❤ everybody hurts sometimes but hold on ❤️ I look forward to more comments from you 😀
So sorry for the older man who was so well prepared with water and fire breaks but you cannot predict the wind or the fear! 😰 Yes, we help each other always (we are currently in New Zealand, Turkiye, Ukraine, Africa, Middle East, etc too)! The commitment to our aid flights is extraordinary! 🫂 The harm to the animals really breaks my heart! 😭😵🙀
Just remember, global heating is making these fires more frequent and destructive. A way big fires were prevented was by conducting cool weather burns to reduce fuel. Weather changes due to climate change are making the "window" for controlled burns more and more narrow. Its reached the point where effective controlled burning is impossible.
There's a lot of misinformation about arson causing these fires, but by far the most like causes are by lightning strikes and accident.
Whatever way they're started, climate change makes them more devastating due to increased aridity, heat, storminess, and wind.
I watched a series on the ABC called " Fire ". It was based on true victims of the bushfires as well as the Heroes that put their lives on the line to save people. It was a 6part series and was on of the best shows I have seen on Austalian television. I'm no sook,but I cried a lot out of frustration and anger. I will never know what those people went through but that series actually gave me a glimpse at what happened. It frightened the shit out of me. Please, if anyone can watch it, then do. Especially people that didn't go through the disasters of bushfires.
Even those in “safe” areas at the time, we were all impacted in different shapes and forms.
Financially? From overseas,
P!NK was the first “celebrity” to donate with a $500k contribution and a picture of the link to the rural fire services in each state that people could donate to. Bette Midler shared P!NK’s tweet and IG post and matched her donation. The next day the Hemsworth’s donated $1M. This was just all to the fire services - most of them manned by volunteers!! . The frontline folks.
There was then an “Australia Firefight” bushfire appeal concert in February 2020 that included acts like Queen ft Adam Lambert to raise more money for the victims.
So many still haven’t been able to rebuild. It’s still heartbreaking.
G'day mate, on the news today, they said we can expect the next bush fires to be the worst we've experienced due to the amount of fuel on the ground. They say it'll be from the east coast to the west. Watching this really drives home the threat
It was the most horrific thing I’ve ever seen. All those poor animals. I can’t help but cry when I see the footage
I really hate when people say “but we’ve always had bushfires in Australia “. It’s technically true but it undermines the severity of the recent ones. A lot of people say the 1939 bushfires were worse than the current ones because they burned more land. But how many fire trucks did they have back then? And they probably only had hand pumped water. They certainly didn’t have 737s water bombing. Even in the 1983 Ash Wednesday bushfires which was the first modern day bushfire tragedy there were no water bombers. My mum and I were the first to fight the one in the Adelaide hills and we could only do so with wet potato sacks. It was only small at the time but due to its location the fire trucks couldn’t get close until it was totally out of control. And that was way too late. If it had been water bombed I honestly believe it would’ve been controlled. There is a great documentary on it called Ash Wednesday 1983.
Two weeks after the fires I went for a walk in the bush through a mate's place. It was absolute silence, nothing!!!! No bird calls no rustling of leaves in the wind. The fires were so hot all the trees were burnt away or just trunks without limbs. All I found of the wildlife was only a few of the larger bones no bodies at all. It got that hot rocks on the ground exploded. I have a few pics on my channel.
Cultural burns before summer will alleviate major fires. That koala having a drink from the firey was dehydrated as there was no nourishment in the leaves they eat. Poor thing ended up dying a few weeks later as it was too affected by smoke and shock.
We had fire fighters from USA and Canada and from other countries
I’m part of the younger generation 15 this year and I had a vivid memory of walking around in Melbourne city and being able to smell the smoke from the fires. I joked to my mum about how polluted the city must be ( I live in the Dandenong ranges) she just shook her head and showed me the news of the fires when I got back home. I don’t think I had ever cried that much before.
Fires, floods and droughts are part of life here, but this was a catastrophic event that no one saw coming, the loss of livliehood for so many people was devastating, but the wildlife was also horrifically effected, so many species that were already endangered by habitat loss, including Koalas, have been brought to the brink of extinction. these fires ravaged the country for months. The Black Saturday fires in Victoria in 2009, claimed a lot of human lives, and many droughts and floods that cost lives also. Farmers endure a lot of struggle with the forces of nature, It's a beautiful country, in many ways, but it's not paradise.
Our Army, in peacetime, do a lot more than people think. They help Papua Nu Guinea and any countries who need disaster relief.
The smoke from these fire circled the globe
The people that took in and nurtured thos beautiful animals are heroes as well, but you can bet that they wouldn't like being called that ! True Blue Aussies. Luv em.
Thanks for doing these mate. We'll always help each other and anyone else, sometimes literally walking through fire to help because we are all we have.
There's not many of us and especially with fire it's all hands on deck get into it mate rev up push hard because if not you, then who? I've fought fire nearly my whole life and I will until I pass.
I feel your true sadness. X
I went through a fire in Port Lincoln Adelaide., south Australia. Lost horses, came up to my front door. My kids to this day even though in their 20s still get scared when they see smoke in the sky.
We’re on fire again right now north of Melbourne
Same SA Port Lincoln on fire.
Wow. So sorry I hope everyone can stay safe
@@Razzledazzle1062 just another summer in Oz unfortunately hey!
@@dreamteamneal there’s a saying or old ad slogan or something like that it goes “WE LOVE A SUNBURNT COUNTRY” start of an ad I think a Classic Beer ad I think little unsure. Lol..
But we do.
LOVE. OUR. COUNTRY.. WHAT A PLACE.STILL THE LUCKY COUNTRY.
It was estimated we lost over 1 Billion animal lives during the 2019 bushfire crisis.
Also, the largest contiguous blaze in recorded history (globally) save for a large fire in Siberia, in areas with almost no population density.
ya... I was pretty wiped out by the mid-way point of this video too ~! Thanks mate~!
The Black Summer bushfires was almost ten times the size of the 2019 Siberian wildfires, and almost double the 2021 Russian wildfires. Black Summer broke all wildfire records globally and still holds the top position by about 138,000 hectares. I don't think I'd want to be on this planet if a larger fire broke out. I spent 3 months inhaling bushfire smoke, permanently damaged lungs, didn't see a blue sky the entire time, often couldn't see the sun and when I could it was small and dark red, and sometimes couldn't even see the house across the street for the thickness of the smoke. And I was one of the lucky ones, because I was far enough away to not be at risk, tucked away in a western suburban area of Sydney, never saw the flames, although the eerie orange glow on the horizon of the night sky for weeks on end and the occasional light rain of cold ash was rather disconcerting.

G'day, nearly every home is not set up to defend against these big fire events. I think if you have trees within 100m (300ft) from the house or shrubs within 30m (100ft) on flat ground then you will have big trouble defending the home.
Also need a bit of luck, considering how far fires can jump or send sparks flying through the air . Have seen spot fires start kms from where they originated. At least having a buffer of some sort gives you a chance still so many people have there places surrounded by trees and wonder why the can't stop fires.
Core of my heart, my country!
Land of the Rainbow Gold,
For flood and fire and famine,
She pays us back threefold -
Over the thirsty paddocks,
Watch, after many days,
The filmy veil of greenness
That thickens as we gaze.
Living here but not being in it made me so upset. The worst was seeing the joeys burnt up against a fence not making it out of the fire. An awful part of history and unfortunately not the first and not the last unless we let First Nations use the knowledge of the land to mitigate this as they have for thousands of years. Coz the scientists and politicians have no idea
Yeah it’s still real watching this so long afterwards,your reaction till it all.Was so bad
It's pronounced "Mel-burne" not mel-borne as the "o" is silent..
Yep got me shedding tears for all the Animals .
