I love the Aussies! They have more resolve than most. This IS a hardship for them!!!!! BUT, I promise, these people will rebound with style and grace, and come out a better place AFTER such a tragedy. They will never ask for handouts, but will be appreciative of ALL freely given assistance.
My thoughts and prayers are with them! They have much to overcome. But IF your OX is ever in a big ole ditch, an Aussie is one person you would want to have with you!
