Royal Australian Navy delivers 800 gallons of ale to fire-ravaged town in hall-of-fame beer run

Military Times by J.D. Simkins 1/13/2020

 Nearly 3,000 fire fighters have been dispatched to combat Australia’s growing inferno that first ignited in September 2019.

More than two dozen people have lost their lives, and University of Sydney Professor Chris Dickman estimates that approximately 800 million animals across the state of New South Wales have been killed, including one-third of the state’s koalas. Across the country, the blaze has consumed 14.7 million acres.

About 400 miles to the south of Sidney, raging fires cut off the small Victoria town of Mallacoota. Roads were rendered impassable, stranding residents and restricting the delivery of supplies to those that could be shipped through the town’s port.

Royal Australian Navy ship HMAS Choules stepped up to carry out numerous deliveries, and last week, the ship delivered one particular product many of the town’s 4,000 residents would consider most-welcome during such turmoil — 800 gallons of beer.

I once watched a documentary about fires in America.

It sttated that most animals escaped.

Greta, AOC would tug at your gullible juvenile heartstrings, that poor Bambi would be burned to death in fire.

They want you to pay higher taxes, eat vegan, commute to work on a solar powered electric bike, live in a city high rise.

While their buddies set fire to the outback.  Brilliant!

Indeed!  800 Gallons is barely over 50 kegs.

Yep. That'd only be 6,400 pints for the 4,000 residents of the city and not counting the firefighters.
