the 2020 trivial drivel thread

[aussiefriend]

I inadvertently saw a burned koala.  

Its being reported that about a third of the koala population has perished in fires since October. They are a serious chance of making critically endangered lists.

Conservative estimates are saying over two billion animals in total have burned.

Hey Crash,

and did you see that there are some species they suspect have been totally wiped out on Kangaroo Island, including a rare spider?

Were you in Sydney when all of this went down at it's worst?

Most of the time it was fine in here in Tasmania, but one day it was smokey but not as bad as Canberra etc.

I ended up donating for the koalas and that money will be used to help. It's only a small amount but it all adds up and we should all do something. I think those that are caring for the koalas and saving their lives are the best people on Earth. 

I would be very interested to hear your experience and if it affected your Christmas.
