Lib Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 I just heard that Bruno Torfs’ sculpture garden in Marysville has been burnt. Please someone in Australia tell me I am mistaken. Lib Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susanne.Hughes Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Hello Lib, There is nothing left in Marysville, the township has gone. If you google abc.com.au (Australian Broadcast Corporation) This will take you to the headlines stories. Click onto the Tag Marysville - 3779. The tags are located under the main story featured. There are two video/news articles on the destruction there. It is just heart rendering to watch, so have the tissues ready. Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boni Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Buckets of tears. . .how horrible! We just can't imagine going through something like that. We just entertained two groups of students from Australia at Mt. Hood Meadows, and they were delightful people. The students were friendly and having loads of fun. They were mostly from Sidney, metropolitan schools. I pray that those involved in this disaster will keep their cool, be comforted by each other, and after a time of grieving, be able to rebuild and carry on with life. It would be so discouraging to lose everything. How sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matildanme Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Marysville was a magic place. A group of us used to go camping there before DH and I were married, over 20 years ago. We used to skinny dip in the river near "phantom falls"! Can't belive it's been totally wiped out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please someone in Australia tell me I am mistaken. Lib I googled the Garden and a note says the structures are gone, but some sculptures remain and they plan to re-build. Such determination--it's a lesson to us all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirabelle Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 It's just a reminder of how resilient mankind is. Our problems in the north have seemed minute with what is going on in Victoria and my heartfelt prayers are with everyone involved. Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffq-lar Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 The brother of a good friend lives near Victoria. When they decided to evacuate they helped elderly neighbors to gather a few things. Within a half hour, the fire which had been 40 miles away was upon them. It split as it approached them and went on either side. They and their house were spared, but their neighbors were not. The wife perished and the husband is injured. Such awful loss of life and property... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
