SYDNEY FIRE UPDATE from
http://www.cnn.com/2002/WORLD/asiapcf/auspac/01/01/fires.close/index.html

>"With more than half a million hectares (1.24 million acres) of bush destroyed 
>and a live fire front now spreading across 1,300 kilometers (807 miles), the 
>fires are the most prolonged and destructive in Australia since the Ash Wednesday 
>conflagration of 1983 that claimed 72 lives. 

And what is making these particular fires so bad???

>"Up until New Year's Day, the fires had been burning around the fringes of Sydney, 
>population 4 million, but a suspected ARSON ATTACK IN THE DENSE 400-HECTARE (988 ACRES) 
>PENNANT HILLS PARK BUSH RESERVE has brought the inferno into the heart of suburbia."

How much more proof is required that Australia is a land blighted by
mass stupidity and mental illness?
