As bushfires ravaged the Colo River region in mid-November, new life was brought to the area in the form of baby boy Smokey Gosper.
Watching videos of the fire tear through nearby properties, Ms Thornton said that it was the "scariest footage" she had seen, knowing that the fire was heading to her family home.Her husband Danny Gosper wanted to call their son Smokey after convict ancestor Thomas Roker Gosper, whose middle name meant smoke in Dutch, and after their deceased dog Smokey.
She said that the new generation didn't have "age-old fossil fuel mentalities", and that the new birth was "fresh hope". The Clarence region was decimated by the Gospers Mountain fire near Dargan along the Bells Line of Road."Although I'm ashamed of the world my little baby has come into, in terms of fossil fuels, climate change and government inaction on creating a beautiful world...maybe it is a smoking ceremony, a catalyst for change," Ms Thornton said.
Is that really the kid’s name?
What a name; Smokey Gosper. Now THAT is a great way to begin.

Two more dead as fresh waves of violent protests break out in ChileMore than three months of protests in Chile have left dozens of people dead, with clashes sometimes bringing the country to a total standstill. The left-wing are cheapening the world's morals by the day. They are slyly eradicating our moral options for defence, in preparation for war with us on behalf of the antichrist.
