Queen sends message over NSW bushfires


H. M. Queen Elizabeth II, Queen of Australia, has expressed her admiration for the firefighters, volunteers and emergency workers battling the wildfires in New South Wales as she sends her sympathies to all those affected.

In a personal message to the people of the State conveyed through NSW Governor Marie Bashir, the Queen sent her sympathies to those hit by the fires.

I would like to convey my heartfelt sympathies to all those who have been affected by the devastating bushfires across New South Wales.

My thoughts are with the many people who have lost their homes or livelihoods in the fires and I have the greatest admiration for the firefighters, volunteers and emergency services officers who are working tirelessly to control the situation.”

Devastating bushfires rage across New South Wales.
