19.01.2022 Today is a day most of us are surrounded by love, family and giving. The best gift we can give costs nothing at all. Its thanks. While all is merry and bright a...round the Christmas tree, it’s important to remember our bravest. The men and woman on the frontline protecting us from some of the worst bushfires this nation has ever seen. Hats off to all the selfless fireys who have given up Christmas with their loved ones to help battle the ferocious blazes gripping Australia. The sacrifice isn’t lost on a single Aussie near or far. Merry Christmas to our true blue heroes. The firefighters across the country. Thank you. [: Jane Dempster/The Australian] See more
