For those darling people who are not waking from the nightmare of finding loved ones have been lost and those who feel the task of living and rebuilding is too huge and an insurmountable challange that they didn't ask for and never wanted, There are so many people who do care, all ages, all backgrounds, when the smoke clears, when it is time to take the next steps, Victorians will be with you, helping in any way we can, just ask, let them, know they are doing it because their hearts are in the right place, it is not charity, it is you allowing them to feel they can do something no matter how simple but something to ease your burden. Love to everyone affected by this disaster, in so many ways people are banding together in an attempt to send you help in anyway they can.
To all the Victims of this Horrendous Tragedy
Our love, thoughts and prayers are with you all at this very heartrenching time.
May you all stay strong and healthy throught out this ordeal.
We can not begin to comprehend the pain and heart ache this has been put upon you by heartless people who light these fires. They should be put in jail with the key thrown away for ever.

you are all constantly in my thoughts.
To those who are dealing with this, my heart goes out to you. To the people who started this fiire. You should be burning in those flames right now you sick basteds
Like everyone, my heart is heavy and devasted at what has happened in Victoria last Saturday. I feel so helpless and would love to open my home to whoever needs it. My husband and I are already planning to go and use our skills to help clean up, rebuild whenever the call goes out in the months to come. We have donated money and will again on payday tomorrow but just don't feel like we can do enough.
Australians have a wonderful way of coming together and helping when times are tough. Even those of us who aren't religious but are spiritual are praying for you. It is also hard to get the images out of my head of those who died by suffereing such painful deaths. They ran for their lives and didn't have a hope. It breaks my heart to know they were tortured this way. It is hard to understand that there are people so cruel and evil that live amoungst us. God help you. You going to need it!
To all of you who have survived this horrific onslaught, You are all so brave and all of my sympathies go to you. To those who lost their live you are always in my heart. You have all done well and to beable to leave this horror without any permanant damage will be a miricale.
My heart goes out to all the families, friends of those who have lost someone.
To all the people out there helping we call you our heroes.
This is a terrible thing to be going through, I may not know how families and friends are feeling, but I'd just like to wish them all the best for the future.
No matter where we are in the world everyone is thinking of you.
Jess, xx
i am very proud to call myself an australian a am so proud of how we have band together to help all those in vic our thoughts and pryers are with you all god speed my fellow aussies

I'm struggling to comprehend the devastation and loss of life could be traced back to somebody PURPOSELY lighting the fires.
How does someone find joy in such a thing?
Victoria, we regularly jostle each other. We have a subtle dislike for each others states most times, sometimes not so subtle.
But please know that you have the utmost support and sympathy from our side of the border at this time.
We'll continue to offer what we can in terms of blood donations for the injured, food and clothes for the survivors, and money for all to start rebuilding their lives.
And of course our grief at such a large loss of livelihood.
Soldier on Victoria, knowing the world is behind you.
Our heartfelt sympathy to all the families. of the victims we have made a donation but feel so helpless, to the victims R.I.P our thoughts and prayers are with you all
even though I have not experienced anything like this, i want all the families of the victims to know that I feel your pain. Remember the good times and hope that they are reborn into a better life.
My thoughts and heart go out to all devestated by the Fires in the South and the Flood's in the North. I share your Grief, Sorrow & Hopes. Well Done to all of the people involved in Helping put out fires and those who are helping with the flood victims as well. xoxo
To all the people affected by this devastating tradgedy may you find the strength you need to carry you through your sorrow and suffering. My thoughts are with you all at this very difficult and sad time.
To the firefighters, ambulance offficers, SES, police and all the volunteers that have worked so hard non stop to provide some kind of relief YOU ARE ALL AMAZING.

An emotional Kevin Rudd, Australia's prime minister, has described the deaths of scores of people in wildfires as "mass murder". The fires spread through rapidly through communities in southern Australia, as desperate residents tried to flee the flames. Al Jazeera's Tarek Bazley reports.
i hope the fires stop soon cuz it has already called enough hurt for everyone....everyone is praying and hoping that all those that have been hurt by this horrific incident can eventually re build their lives and have a few if not alot of happy times even through the tought times they are having now....my thoughts go out to you and i hope all is well soon and aussie becomes the wonderful nice peaceful place it was once known as....i aint very religious but i will pray for every single one of you that have been caught up in this ...god bless.....Charnie Dean (Nottingham, England)
No words can express the sense of loss that is sweeping the nation. We are very greatful for the many hundreds of SES volunteers helping our brother and sisters. Those of you who's life's were not lost can rebuild unfortunatly for those who perished we must rebuild in their memory. Prayers and Thoughts are with all.
i would like to say how sad i am for all the people down vic. i have a brother in law & family that lives down that way.i just want to cry seeing how much sorrys down their. it looks like a war zone. my heart goes out to all involved. from QLD australia
my family and friends all live in this area can anyone tell me where to go to find out the deceased or injured
The red cross have a 1800 number which you ring and they try to locate loved ones. Can't find the number at the moment but maybe if you google the Red Cross it will tell you.
Hi Jacqui - I am sorry to hear your friends and family are all in this area. I have a school friend and her family im trying to find out about so I called a hotline thats been set up for this. The number is 1800 727 077 you leave details of their names, address then your details and phone number and someone will get back to you soon as they find out anything. Good luck and I hope they are all safe and well.
My heart and prayers are with all you brave people in the Bushfire areas. It seems so surreal that we are having torrential rain and floods up here in the North and you are suffering devastation from heat and fires. Also may God be with the families who have lost loved ones. Words are just not enough to explain how the rest of our nation feels.
With Love from Suzanne Valerie
We were horrified to see the devastation - so many communities - so many lives. Such a tragedy amidst nature's beauty! Such unbearable grief for those who managed to escape. Our hearts and prayers to you all. May you find comfort and support in each other
in the following days and in the future as you try to rebuild your lives. We'll be thinking of you across the other side of the globe.

It is with shock and horror watching the mass destruction in southern Australia and the flooding in Queensland. I share your grief, sorrow and hopes. My prayers and thoughts go out to all.
Its is heart breaking to watch this tragedy unfold on the news here in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. My prayers and thoughts to all in these areas of destruction. I want to include those who are suffering from the flood area I believe in Queensland where I hear a five year old has fallen prey to a crocodile.
"Father, I lay this crisis into Your lovng and caring hands. Grant the victims and the strength and courage to endure. Please lay your healing hands upon body, mind and heart."
We're thinking of you now, all those caught up in this terrible tradgedy, those who have lost lives and loved one, and the emergency services.
