Amidst the heartbreak and tragedy of Black Saturday - The Victorian Bushfires that claimed the lives of hundreds and destroyed 2000 homes on February 7th 2009, there were some heart lifting stories. One of those stories was Sam the Koala. Sam the Koala has achieved worldwide fame since her rescuer, CFA Fireman David Tree found Sam wondering around the burnt out bushland. You can see the footage of this rescue in an earlier post. Almost a million people have now seen this video of when David Tree brought precious water to a bewildered and confused Sam. A few days after the rescue, Sam is reunited with David at an animal shelter.. and it is here that the plot thickens. Watch to find out more…

One of the few heart warming stories that have come out of the devastation of the worst bushfires in Victorian and Australian history. Black Saturday was an unimaginable event of horror, heartbreak and despair. This website is my contribution to those that lost everything on the fateful day of February 7th, 2009.
