Here’s what’s happening in Australia at the moment.

For some context:  Mallacoota is a tourist town, usual population is a little over 1000, but at peak tourist times, it can be as high as 8000. There was an estimated 4000 there today, when the extreme heat, peaking at 49C/120F, combined with high winds, to spark a large, intense fire in the bushland around the area. This pretty much blocked off all ways out of the town, leading to all 4000 people being evacuated to the beach, with the emergency plan basically being “If the fire comes this way, get in the water” Thankfully, the wind did change direction, and as far as I’ve heard, most of the town was spared, but this is how bad the drought, heat, and fire situations have become in australia. And our government still refuses to make solid policies on climate change.

NSW Bush Fires - How you can help

[toapoet-deactivated20221001]

If you’re not in a place to give money, you can boost!!

[andtosaturn]

since people are asking, here’s a list of places you can donate to help the australian bushfires. donating literally $1 means you have done more than our prime minister. (* = can donate internationally; for the other ones you might have to google it) 

cfa (VIC firefighters) 

rfs (NSW firefighters)*

rfbaq (QLD firefighters) 

cfs (SA firefighters) 

red cross*

WWF NSW bushfire crisis*

WWF koala crisis* (both WWF links are in aud so use a currency converter if you’re outside aus)

St Vincents NSW (partnership with channel 9)

St Vincents SA 

RSPCA NSW 

here is a list from the abc (but maybe don’t donate to the salvos bc they suck) (x)

i’ll keep it updated as i find more

If you want to avoid the big organisations and help the battlers more locally on the ground, here’s an incomplete list. The firefighters are vital and working hard, and some local stations are set up to take donations directly. But if you want a more animal-focused bent (because that’s what I do)…

Mallacoota Wildlife Shelter (koalas and wildlife in the thick of the East Gippsland fires in Victoria right now, bank details on the Jan 2nd post)

Wires.org.au Wildlife rescue

Port Macquarie Koala Hospital, in NSW.

Adelaide Koala and Wildlife Hospital, in South Australia (coping it hard since Xmas day)

Currumbin Wildlife Hospital, in SE Queensland.

Ipswich Koala Protection Society, in Queensland.

Koalas in Care (NSW, takes paypal)

Vets Beyond Borders is a large organization which will accept donations, and also coordinated AVERT - the Australian Veterinary Emergency Response Team. Vets, vet nurses and vet techs can register as volunteers there.

And there are other organizations that can be helped in other ways.

Medical Pantry, a collective which gathers unused or surplus medical supplies for redistribution. They will be helping supply what they can.

If you have space in your home, Airbnb Open Homes lets you register your home for displaced people or relief workers to offer them accommodation.

There are fodder drops being organized for livestock in affected areas but…well, some of these areas are not accessible yet and nobody’s quire sure what’s alive down there. But there will be a need for fodder and agistment paddocks for horses and livestock.

Some shelters or vet hospitals will also need things like feed/waterbowls and dog crates to house wildlife. A local organisation might have a pickup point near you, or some clinics will have staff registered to go as volunteers when asked.

In addition, some local knitters/sewers/crafters guild will be turning old cotton and flannelette material into pouches and wraps for injured wildlife. If you’ve got a local group, see what they’re doing and what you can donate out of the cupboards. I know Wonderground in South East Melbourne has a sewing day this Sunday (5thof Jan) and they are local to me, but see which groups are local to you.

This is the most up-to-date list of crafted products required that I have at the moment.

All that time, the thing that struck Padmé the most was the look upon Anakin’s face, an expression unlike anything she had even seen on the Padawan: part rage, part grief, part part guilt, and part resignation. She knew that Anakin would need her, and soon. 

But she had no idea of what she might do for him.
