Just sitting here this morning watching the morning show and hearing both the horrific and heroic stories from Victoria. Whole families gone trying to either flee the fires or thinking that they could stay a fight. How ironic that while this dreadful disaster is happening down South, they are starting the cleanup up North, after 2 weeks of flooding.

I hear that they have one person of interest being questioned right now. How can they live with themselves?

Living here in Victoria, the bushfires have been very scarey My heart goes out to all the people who have lost loved ones, including pets and their homes. Our town did receive smoke and light ash over the weekend, but we are the lucky ones compared to those closely impacted by the fires. Good on Victoria police to set up a task force to investigate the cause behind such bushfires. I hope they catch the firebug.

I hope they catch these mass murderers. This is devastating : people killed horribly, homes lost, uncountable animals die, nature up in flames. There are no words for it...

I think everybody felt deep sorrow for this tragedy, that has happen in Victoria even more so since it has been on the BBC News. We all want those who inflamed this crisis to be caught and several punish for such a ruthless act. Our heart ache for all the Families, friends and the Animals who have lost everything - our prayers and thoughts are with you ALL. You will rebuild your homes, life again - because you have the inner "WILL POWER" to so.
God Bless and be with you all.

I hope that they catch the individual/individuals responsible for this horrific crime. So many beautiful lives lost..animals, people and plant life. None of these can be replaced. I just don't know how this person/s can live with what they have done. There is no punishment that would be enough for such a crime.
My prayers are with all those involved in the losses of Victoria. God be with you to help you through such a difficult time.
