Australia is still battling the worst bushfire crisis the country has ever seen. For months, both Aussies and people from around the world joined in the efforts of containing the fires. With so many fires blazing throughout the country, people only hoped for one thing — that the drought season, which led to the merciless flames, finally comes to an end. Fortunately, nature, animals, and humans in Australia received some well-earned relief. The rain has finally started pouring down for the first time since September.One thing is clear — when it rains in Australia, it pours! After some areas in the country received a month’s worth of rain overnight, many people were left stranded by the floods. Recently, news came in that the dangerous storm cell continues to move across South-east Australia causing huge hailstones to rain down on Canberra. Even though nature seems to be going crazy in Australia right now, there are some positive aspects to it. Following the huge downpours, the natural terrain is finally recovering.

So much is chance & circumstance. ie where the fire travels, and what areas get consistent rain, and whether the local plants will regenerate under the circumstances. We may have one of the toughest (challenging) lands, but we also have one of the toughest (resilient) lands. As a nation, we're committed to helping everyone / everything bounce back. The tens of millions raised by everyday Aussies, is testament to that. And we are always grateful to those outside of Australia who has helped with feet on the ground, and donations. TO DONATE TO RURAL FIRE SERVICES (including supporting locals who lost their homes): https://www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/volunteer/support-your-local-brigade TO DONATE TO HELP WILDLIFE: https://www.wires.org.au/donate/emergency-fund Both are the biggest, registered charities, that are helping firefighters, locals who lost their homes, and wildlife. <3
