Bushfires are a common, real threat to life and limb in Australia. With record temperatures in Victoria on Saturday 7 February and a decade of drought providing tinder dry fuel, the unthinkable has happened – massive fires have broken out across the east and north of the State resulting in the loss of lives. Homes have been razed to the ground, with one town, Maryville, almost completely wiped out.

This Redbubble account has been set up, in part prompted by Darren Stones’ coverage here of the tragedy, to raise funds for the victims of bushfire.

All artworks and teeshirts have been donated to this account by the artists, with all profits going to the Victorian Bushfire Relief Fund.

Direct Donations
If you would like to make money donations directly to the agencies involved here are some links.

And SoxyFleming has alerted us to the effort by Coles who will donate all profits made on Friday 13 February from 750 stores. So why not do your groceries at Coles on Friday?

St Vincent de Paul is accepting all physical donations to send over to Victoria.
