Before you saddle up & watch the 2 hottest players in the NBA go toe to toe, spare a thought for the devastating bushfires that have gone through our State over the last 2 days.

Record temperatures of up to 120F in some areas & huge winds have no only claimed 84 people at the time of writing, but wiped out whole towns & communities right across the State of Victoria.

In fact, the fire was at one point yesterday around 10-15 miles away from our house.

I know this isn't a sports piece, but just thought I'd keep you guys in the loop as to what's gone on here over the weekend.

Thanks.
