Today marks the 40th anniversary of the 1983 Ash Wednesday bushfires. The fires, which swept across Victoria and South Australia, were widespread, extreme, and unprecedented in size. The fires took 75 lives, destroyed 2600 homes and buildings, and vast numbers of livestock. https://t.co/8Wqv01CarU

On the 40th anniversary of the Ash Wednesday bushfires, you'll find me at Port Lincoln, fortunately this time the outcomes were vastly different. 7 aircraft and 80 odd firefighters fought hard bring the fire under control. For @abcadelaide @abcnews https://t.co/9mJ44CrdkD

It is Ash Wednesday here in Australia. I will try to do the best I can for Lent. I will try fasting. I will try charity, something I lack. https://t.co/7AUI2oKqID

Ash Wednesday is mainly a Catholic observance in which ashes are marked on the forehead of parishioners in the shape of a cross. The ashes are meant as a reminder of our mortality and sinfulness.
