Hey...it's been busy with the hurricanes...Hanna brought us some winds and tons of rain the eye came about an hour drive east of our area. Other than that it's been normal pace....

Hey Mel, how you going? It's nice to see a few on this site with the steering wheel on the right side of the truck!!!! I'm interested in finding out about things in Oz. Regards from the Northern Hemisphere.

Hey Mel, What's going on? Anything new in Brisbane? Not too much going on here in Durham, North Carolina....but that can be a good thing...lol....take care!!

Hello from Santa Barbara, California, USA! Thought I'd see if you were interested in sharing information and photos. I'm not familiar at all with Brisbane but would love to have the chance to get to know more from you.

I've read that both of us have very similar terrain and weather conditions regarding wildland firefighting. My department was the actual 1st fire department in the USA to deal with large scale brush fires in the 1800's from fires that local indian tribes set to manage the land. This was in direct conflict with the local cattlemen who wanted to conserve range land for there cattle. We still have the same large scale fires as you are aware here in Southern California but have developed a lot of cool tactics and techniques for handling these incidents. What ever resources I have is yours. Just let me know how I can help out.

Also, you are a nurse! This is cool. I helped my wife get through the RN program which was really tough. My wife is now working full time as a RN.

If you have access to Google Earth, here's where I am located below. Take care and stay safe sister.

Thanks for the add. You'll have to tell me all about Brisbane and the rest of your area. Planning on visiting Australia when I retire in 3 or 4 years. The guy who followed his team was from Sydney. I copied the link to the local newspaper if you want to read about him.

Hi from Wisconsin, USA. One of your fellow countrymen moved himself and his family to my area (Green Bay) for 6 months so he could follow the Green Bay Packers football team. The community loved him.
