As my readers will see, it was not called &#8220;Black Friday&#8221; for nothing. The primary causes for this tragic day were no different then. The results of this unfortunate day, occurring on Friday the 13th, a very bad beginning of a weekend of ANY MONTH, to those who chose to be superstitious, were so horrific, the word &#8220;Apocalypse&#8221; would have well suited the sad, tragic, situation, at the time. Yes, Australia was &#8220;burning&#8221; then, and now, it was happening again, 81 years later, with the same ferocity, borne out of beastly drought that has seemed never-ending, for months, even before the birth of this new decade 2020.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 There is no need for me to &#8220;carry-on&#8221; about it, but there is an extremely important &#8220;point&#8217; in my story. The damnable drought that huge areas of this Island Continent were experiencing, with Farmers by the score, deciding that enough was enough, led once again to bushfires which, as on Black Friday,\u00a0 threatened to burn Australia into it&#8217;s already bone-dry grave, infrastructure, flora, fauna &amp; ALL.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">Rainfall was just wishful thinking, on the part of Scientists, Professors, Weather-Experts, Rain-Dancers, the LOT !!.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">Bushfires had the added help of arsonists, burning\u00a0 out habitats of Australian animals, killed thousands of them, and even more sadly taking the lives of several brave people who were trying their very best to stop the carnage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">Because of the hot dry conditions, fires kept starting off automatically, aided by lightning strikes, and although the\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">Fire-fighters, hundreds of willing volunteers, and even the Armed Forces who were called out finally, by the Government, did the best that they could do, under the circumstances, new bushfires kept springing up, burning up areas in Australia that were equal in size to some entire Countries on this Planet. If they were not burning, many Suburbs and Towns, for thousands of kilometres around,\u00a0 began to be blanketed by a smokey haze, sometimes lasting for days, again causing illness, especially among asthmatics\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Still, no rain, and then it was suggested that EVERYONE started PRAYING to GOD for this life-saving fluid. There was no-one else to turn to. Christian people from all over the World started praying to the Almighty, and this is my point, folks, GOD HEARD ALL THE PRAYERS, and decided to send down the RAIN needed to fix everything.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">It is as simple as that. ALL THE &#8220;EXPERTS&#8221; can go take a jump, as far as I am concerned. We, humans are to blame for everything we do, in our ignorance,\u00a0 to hurt Mother Nature. We cannot fight this Mother, when she retaliates,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">ONLY GOD CAN CONTROL HER, AND, ONCE AGAIN, HE HAS. Now, let us go down on our bended knees and THANK HIM. We are all just mere mortals, folks, very lucky indeed to be looked-after by a merciful GOD, so thank you, LORD, for saving Australia, the second time around.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-29836 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Desmond-Kelly-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"125\" height=\"178\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">Desmond Kelly.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">\u00a0(Editor-in-Chief)\u00a0 eLanka.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #f20c7f;\">13th JANUARY, 81 YEARS AGO WAS KNOWN AS \u2018BLACK FRIDAY\u2019 \u2013 AUSTRALIA \u2013 today it has a different and dangerous name\u2026..<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-41295 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/BLACK-FRIDAY.jpg\" alt=\"BLACK FRIDAY\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\"><strong>O<\/strong>n this day,<strong>\u00a0Eighty-one years ago<\/strong>\u00a0(13th January 1939) with temperatures above 110\u00a0F (45\u00b0C) across Victoria and the state in drought, bushfires consumed 3,700 buildings across the state, 71 lives were lost and 5 towns<strong>\u00a0completely destroyed<\/strong>&#8211; never to be rebuilt.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">The\u00a0<strong>Royal Commission<\/strong>\u00a0into \u2018\u2019Black Friday\u2019\u2019 concluded;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\"><em>\u201cThere had been no fires to equal these in destructiveness or intensity in the history of settlement in this State,\u00a0<strong>except perhaps the fires of 1851<\/strong>, which, too, came at summer<\/em><em>\u201c<strong>culmination of a long drought<\/strong>\u201d<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\"><em>\u2018\u2019At midday, in many places,<\/em><em>\u00a0<strong>it was dark as night<\/strong>.\u00a0\u00a0Men carrying hurricane lamps, worked to make safe their families and belongings Travellers on the highways<strong>\u00a0were trapped by fires or blazing fallen trees<\/strong>, and\u00a0<strong>perished<\/strong>.
