I'm in Brisbane and watching the search for the 9 year old girl play out in real time via the local Facebook group was pretty rough.

From the first message saying they've wandered off, to the initial optimism of people joining the search by walking the local parks and creeks / looking up camera footage etc to see if she'd walked past, to the final post by the family member saying they'd been found deceased all within a couple of hours.

Stark contrast to the updates from other people enjoying holidays and time with family etc.

Man that would have been rough to watch. Take care.

It's up to ten dead now all together. What a Christmas ๐Ÿ˜ž
