You Aussies are a brave bunch, I'm sorry you're having those horrible experiences and the immense loss of human life over such great expanses of territory. I'll pay attention to your inevitable recovery, because you can't be kept down.

I heard the interview last Saturday on NPR here in the States where the reporter described the koala rescue woman, and it was indeed affecting. The interviewer, Scott Simon, is one of the best Americans on radio, I still remember his outstanding performance on Feb 2, 2003 when the shuttle burned up on re-entry.
