Victoria is hurting
Advertising and the bullshit that surrounds it are the usual topics to be found on this blog.
Not today.
The garden state of Victoria has been decimated by bushfires.
That pic above is what's left of Marysville. My wife and I stopped off there for a coffee on our anniversary a few weeks back.
When I was a struggling young copywriter I went to a couple of weekend creative workshops at the conference centre in Marysville. That's gone too.
Here's some of the places you can help:
Visit www.redcross.org.au
Phone 1800 811 700
Go to any NAB, ANZ, Westpac or Commonwealth Bank branch
Go to any Bunnings store
Every little bit helps.

Stats courtesy ABC774 at 6pm Monday:
Fires in Victoria killed at least 131 people, destroyed 700 homes & burnt out 350,000+ hectares. 31 fires still burning.

When my husband and I saw the fires on the news I said "oh god I hope Brand DNA is okay" to which he replied "who the hell do you know in Austrailia?" so I had to explain our 'relationship'....
But seriously. I was so worried. And I am glad to know you are okay. (I have NO SENSE of Australia's geography. Otherwise I would have known earlier)...
So sad for everyone affected. We had fires here in my TOWN and lost 100 homes a few months back.
Horrible.
besides Red Cross, any trustworthy aid groups that donations can go to? I was going to tweet about it but want something that will actually help!
Thanx for the kind thoughts Marcy.
Mary if you use Twitter simply search for #bushfires.
