Let's learn from the wombats people!

I strongly believe that it should be mandatory for all homes in rural Australia to have deep purpose built cellars (away from the main dwelling which could collapse on them).

Burrowing creatures survive bush fires, as well documented in the Caspi-Man's "Wombat goes walkabout" book.

With the south of the country a hellish inferno, and the north completely underwater, (Australia has always been a land of contrast) we have been blessed to have perfect beach weather...
