<div>Sad news for anyone who attended the World Open Space on Open
Space here in Australia a few years back - the township of Marysville
where we held OSonOS has been virtually destroyed by fire. News reports
are saying variously only one building to a handful of building remain
standing. </div>

who were at the wondrous WOSonOS at
Marysville and All</font></big>
<p class="MsoNormal"><big><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">What
tragic times for everyone associated with this lovely
country town and its region not far from <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Melbourne</st1:place></st1:City>.
Fr Brian and his committee made the inspired decision to stage the
first WOS in
<st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Australia</st1:country-region></st1:place>
in the beautiful Marylands Hotel close to the town. For much joy was
experienced both in the formally opened space and in the associated
activities.
Among these, as Larry has mentioned, were night walks in the
surrounding
forests to spot possums and other tree dwelling animals. </font></big></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><big><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">My
thoughts go to those who have suffered such terrible personal
devastation and loss and to all the people of <st1:country-region
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Australia</st1:place></st1:country-region>.
</font></big></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><big><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif"><span

times and friendships renewed and forged among the OS community live
on. </font></big></p>
