Brisbane (where APNIC is) is close to 1000 miles from Melbourne (where the
fires are).
Ironically the state Brisbane is in is currently experiencing very bad
flooding over most of the state...
But I digress. www.apnic.net is also down over IPv4, but reachable over
IPv6. whois.apnic.net doesn't seem to have an IPv6 address.
