Bundarrah Days

NEWS of our bushfire tragedy has reached far and wide, even into the virtual world of Second Life.

In this world of animated avatars there are fund raising activities all over the place for victims of Black Saturday. Hundreds of thousands, possibly millions of Linden Dollars have been raised which represents a very substantial amount in Australian dollars.

Personally we would like to thank Second Life Music promoter, Etierre Bonde and popular Second Life musician, Dave Small Finesmith for their amazing personal efforts. Alone they have raised in excess of $40,000 Lindens which has been paid to the Red Cross Appeal.

We think this is outstanding and is proof of the esteem Americans have for us Aussies. Bundarrah Days would like to take this opportunity to thank Etierre and Dave.

In addition the Australian Bushfire Phoenix Project has an ongoing appeal within Second Life and I'm told yet another group is holding a 72 hour dance marathon to raise more funds.

This is one time that a virtual world had had an impact on reality.
