Throughout Australia on Sunday, the country remembered the victims of the deadly bushfires.

The fires have left 209 people dead while more body parts have been found.


The Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, in a televised live address, said:

"As a people, we weep for the lost, we tend the injured, we console the suffering, and yet, our work has barely begun, for what we saw on Black Saturday, what we saw at work was the worst of nature, yet the best of humanity".
