[edit] Sadly, I had to remove the following

hi my name is anthony clive wells and during the fires my sister and i were evacuated from school it was the worst thing i ever had seen the sky was just black and the sun was red and all around me i could see the men with nothing more than potatoe sacks beating back the flames our family got out i know not of our home or our school ,it is embedded into my mind and i can remember the disaster as clear as if it were yesterday we were lucky too many lost lives back then, lets hope thatwe have enough rescourses now to avoid such a catastrophe in the future so our children dont face what we did in 7th feb 1967

This has no place in the Wikipedia encyclopedia but it is certainly first hand evidence of what happened. Maybe wikisource? It needs to be verified too - if Anthony Clive Wells is around you can leave a message here. --One Salient Oversight 12:22, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
