• Guys, we've spent considerable money converting the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and we have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!

Eiree Melbourne as fires surround us...

Firstly, thank you to people extending their best wishes and thoughts to us effected by the current Victorian (Australia) bushfires. I have never witnessed anything like this before. We are around 150miles from the closest out-of-control fires.

The views from my boardroom are usually picturesque, with views to our mountain ranges and our bay... This was just taken today...

I feel terrible for you guys! The images I've seen of the homes and wildlife are just horrible. Sending positive energy your way and hoping this is under control very soon!

Oh man that is just terrible. I've been seeing the news reports about the loss of life and property on such a huge scale is just devastating. Be safe and good luck.

So much loss. Terrible effects on so many people and animals. The scale is scary.

In New Zealand we're seeing the smoke by way of orange skies. Very eerie.

Thanks, we are okay and back home. We where lucky the wind pushed the fire away from us, I feel sorry for those who have lost there homes or worse. We live in a place called Jaspers Brush on the south coast.

Thoughts to everyone in Australia affected by this terrible situation. Stay safe if you can.

The Firefighters need a medal as big as dustbin lid.
