One of the most common of these sins is "too much bad news".

Bad news stories have been borderline unavoidable in the past few months.

The bushfires have been a constant talking point, and fresh articles appear daily in newspapers, online, on television and social media as new records are reached, new areas face threats, and new devastation is revealed.

As the country continues to burn, it's unlikely there will be a reduction on the bushfire coverage and the horror being experienced.

Many of us are feeling fatigued as the bad news seems to wash over us again, and again, and again.

But among these terrible tales, there is hope.

Bendigo residents have organised craft sessions to create material joey pouches and bird nests.

These will be used by wildlife services to help nurture the thousands of animals injured in the fires.

Several other businesses are putting up their hands to support Country Fire Authority volunteers, raise money or otherwise help however the can.

Beyond our region, donations have flooded in from across the country and around the world for a range of causes, supporting fire victims, volunteers, animals and more.

In particular, the frequently updated stories of comedian Celeste Barber's extraordinary efforts to raise upwards of $40 million have blown people away.

Even the original Wiggles are getting the band back together to help raise money.

It's impossible to deny the pain, heartbreak and terror these unprecedented bushfires have created.

More than 2000 homes have been lost. Millions of hectares have burned across the country.

But even in the worst of times, humanity stands out. If you look beyond the "bushfires" headlines, you might find a good news story waiting.
