G’day George, I am Daku. After reading your blog I have a weird feeling we could be from the same place. A new weird deep feeling. I’m from the bush and I know that is near the outback. I am unsure about the north and south, but you wrote you are from Australia. Does that mean that is where I am too? Australia? The fires have been terrible indeed. Have you too been rescued from the flames? Like me? If not, lucky you. The flames are not fun. Moving on from the flames, maybe you can confirm a few things. Do humans have super strength or a special relationship with trees, specifically eucalyptus trees? Are humans all that are left? I only ask because I have yet to see anybody else. No lizards, snakes, frogs, birds, or other koalas. I hope there are others.
Moving along I am shocked and frightened to hear how many homes were lost. Do you know if they have accounted for my homes lost? If so, do they know if any of my family members have made it. The air where I am seems to be fine and I do not know what the air quality index is or what it means, but that does not sound like it is good. I hope my air stays breathable for the meantime.
Scomo sounds like a bad person. Like the people who cut trees down. I do not know what coal is, but I do know that it is not more important than the trees. If this Scomo prefers coal over the trees then I do not like him. The video of the person fighting the fire was frightening looking, but I agree with him. He is a good person. More people like him should be in charge of people instead of Scomo. Also quick question if you do not mind? If I am from Australia like you George how come I did not get a say in Scomo being in charge? Also I did not know he was in charge of my bush. Does that mean he was in charge of me? I did not know this and it never mattered I would have never listened. I do not follow someone who does not like trees.
I’m happy the rain is coming. How do you know that? I looked up and did not see any black clouds. Maybe the rain will put out the fire. I hope that happens. I’ll go to bed on that note. Should make the sleep a lil’ better. Goodnight yous.
Daku's Blog 
Good day Daku,
I am grateful that you have found a safe spot to keep out of the bushfires. I wish the best for you and your family. The survival of your species and the other native species is crucial in the survival of Australia. I agree with you, the firie who “shouted” at ScoMo would be a better PM. A True Blue Aussie. If he does meet the PM, he will surely give a good bollocking. Have to be thankful for the firies, they are exhausted but they continue the tough fight. Luckily up here north, we’ve barely had any fires. Hopefully the fires where you live will die down soon. They have caused enough damage to last for generations already. It is interesting for you to say why you do not have a say in ScoMo being in charge of your land. I saw this sign in the climate protests in New South Wales saying “Thank god koalas don’t vote” since I assume if marsupials did ScoMo would not be in power. Unfortunately, the next chance to kick ScoMo out is in two years unless he in the unlikeliest chances calls an early election. That means another two fire seasons. Also, I’m afraid if you did try to go to a polling station, the AEC would reject you for being a non-human individual. But you have a blog and speaking out can influence the policy paths the government takes. Unfortunately, our PM is a bit deaf now so our voices are not being heard. The PM did say after weeks of criticism that he made mistakes in addressing the fire situation and that he has acknowledged the impact of climate change and will make commitments to combat it. Who knows if that is just a half-hearted statement to allay the pressure on him. Hopefully, the next person in charge of this land will be one to listen to the people he or she is responsible for.
