$10 mil in just under 3 hours. Fucking amazing.

I read that the RAMSAR convention is now starting to strategise on restoration of all the destroyed wetlands in the area, because it's part of the flight route for the migratory waders. I'll probably hear a lot more about that up in Broome and probably get to see the effects when the waders return around September this year (they leave Broome around February/March and return again during Spring).

Edit : As Jakie said - the grand total at the very end was $15 mil+

Eh, Australian commercial television just shits me. Did they really need to broadcast it on every commercial station and (apparantly) every major FM radio station? : /

I'm all for donating. But something about the way this was done just annoys me. I don't quite know why...

I think it was great that they could all put aside their differences and get together for this. I believe the only radio station broadcasting it was 94.5.

But I guess if your life revolves around T.V. you may be annoyed...

I know for a fact that 93.7 was and I overheard someone at work mentioning that all the FM stations were (which I interpreted as all the major stations).

FYI, I barely ever watch TV...
