Emergency services officials in Victoria use the 176-metre-long HMAS Choules to evacuate residents who have been left stranded at the coastal town of Mallacoota after a large blaze forced 4,000 people to take shelter on the foreshore. On 3 January, a defence force official tells the townspeople: ‘Once you’e aboard and it’s safe they’ll do a final head count and it’s about a 10-15 minute transit over there. Once you’re in location, you’ll be provided with some food, some water and accommodation.’

I was taken on that ship. Having been in surgery I was on heart bypass when they had to close my chest and get me wrapped in a fire blanket and out of the building I ended up in a mans Ute being taken to the beach to be brought to a safe hospital.
The bushfires were creating their own weather systems from the smoke, this cause lightning with no rain, this causes more fires, and then it repeats, thus happened once in the 1970s and again in the 1990s, but it happened over 10 times in 2019 alone
this is happening now in the US
This was 8 months ago. Today we're seeing large evacuations to do wildfires in Oregon. And it will keep happening again and again for the foreseeable future. There's only one future in which we will survive, and we're not going in that direction.
this military guy looks like a bartender from an old tv show 'Allo 'Allo 🙂
My cousin is living there and I hope she's okay 😢 Pray for Australia 🙏💔
How can you push "Like IT" when such voids occur…
i seriously hope that the aussies are able to get through this.
I’m praying for you all!
scary
Shoot the fire starters. We all know who the 200+ that did this

This is like from a sci-fi movie..
Parece um cenário de fim de mundo.
Foi lindo ver as pessoas levando seus animais de estimação, inclusive tinha um homem com um lindo coelho nos braços 💓

Kiamat kecil yg terlihat
Apocalypse now

When Mother Nature strikes back and cleaning the earth
I live in australia and I am so sad to see what's happening to Victoria,New south Wales and kangaroo island. I feel so upset to see that people think it's ok to start a f*****g bushfire. I'm thankful that other countries and celebs who are helping out.
😨😨😨😰какой ужас..
Wait for October.. Indonesia is burning every year 😠
I can't believe how big these fires were and the magnitude of destruction!
This is the judgment for approving the gay rights… sad
my heart burning
My eyes melt for what Victoria, SA and NSW have been through… Lets pray for Gods help… for certainly we are living the last days… grace and peace from Sao Paulo
PRAY FOR AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺,🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😞😞from Italia 🇮🇹
I'm so sad about what's going on in Australia. It will take years to restore what nature has lost in a few months … and probably the same weather conditions will occur next year. However, I hope the captured arsonists remain in prison. Distressing.
that scene when they went into the boat looks like a movie
💔💔💔…
I am very sad what happened in Australia
