It has been a few weeks between emails. I was lucky enough to spend the Christmas and New Year period on annual leave.  The weeks were full of sunshine, exploring new places and importantly connecting with family and friends. I hope that you too had the time to do the same.

This week was also one that I spent outside of the newsroom. However, like you, I watched from afar as our team here at The Examiner worked hard to keep the community up-to-date on the fires currently causing chaos for the Tasmania Fire Service and residents of those communities.

It’s a tough time, but we are lucky here in Tasmania to have skilled and dedicated people on the job doing their best to control the fires.  For that we are grateful.

We sincerely hope that the fires will soon be under control with no harm caused to people or property.

You can keep up-to-date here.
