Queensland is my state, but I live in the most populous south-east corner. I'm not sure where nohmi lives, but she's in Queensland, so she's either similar distance or even further away from the bushfires.

We live in Robina which is many miles away from the fires.
Having lived in Zimbabwe(Rhodesia) and South Africa which also got it's fair share of 'bushfire seasons' it's is still pretty hard to comprehend that someone would deliberately light fires.
