In wake of the tragedies, Queen Elizabeth has sent a message of condolence to those who have suffered, while praising the spirit of Australians who have come together during such a trying time.
Her Majesty The Queen has sent the following message of condolence to the Governors and people of New South Wales and Queensland:
“Prince Philip and I have been deeply saddened to hear of the tragic loss of life and property caused by bushfires affecting communities and businesses across northern New South Wales and South East Queensland.
