The whole world is following story’s and news about the massive bush fires in Australia. So am I. It is well covered by the press, that I can’t do it better. But since we lived many many years at the coast in Australia I like to share with you some interesting information.

During all the weeks reading about the Australian fires I thought „what do they have to do with us in Europe or with us in South America“, but guess – they have !!  I think these articles down here, which I copy to you from the BBC, give a great overview to the current situation. Just click on the links further down.

Yes, we had some smoke from Australia already here in Uruguay. But our local weather situation cleaned the air with some thunderstorms and heavy rains pretty quick, luckily !

We have some large bush fires here in Uruguay too. Let’s hope that everywhere the nature recovers quick and that all harmed people will receive help and can look into a positive future !
