America has sent some of its firefighters over here to help ours.
It's still only the start of summer and already we've lost 2 million hectares to fire across fire fronts of 11,000 kilometres - half of it in precious old-growth native forests, the other half on private farmlands.
Our firefighters have been fighting non-stop for over three months. Many are so exhausted they are making mistakes and getting injured.
Without your help, we would have lost and would still be losing far more.
THANK YOU, America from the deepest places in my heart.
I can confidently say every other Australian feels the same.
