Donations Flood In For Australian Relief Effort

Donations from around the globe have been promised to help with the relief and clean up after the bush fires and flooding.

International Donations For Australia

The Australian government has reportedly been inundated with good wishes and donations, and offers of help from around the world after the Victorian wild fires.

Most recently, the Indonesian government has donated one million dollars to help with the rebuilding of schools in the affected areas. Australia had previously funded the building of schools in Indonesia and thought that a reciprocal offer would be most appropriate.

Foreign Minister Stephen Smith is proud of Australia's record in aiding other countries in need and said Australia's spirits have been lifted by the offers of help from around the world.

Papua New Guinea's Prime Minister Sir Michael Somare says he hopes his government's decision to donate $US1.3 million to the Australian government for disaster relief will strenghten the bond between the two countries.

The money is to be divided equally between the state of Queensland which has been devastated by floods after tropical Cyclone Ellie hit earlier this month and bush-fire ravaged Victoria.
