I am on the edge of that fire zone,all of those towns mentioned in reports are very close to me,we were warned to be prepared for ember attacks yesterday and last night.The air was full of black ash and charcoal that will last for months unless rain comes.

Fire preps and fire watch inhaling the constant thick smoke here is real shit....but we cannot complain as we have lost nothing unlike the thousands that have.


Being in a rural community amongst high hills has been three nights watching from high for more threatening outbreaks.

Yesterday we donated 60 large rolls of hay to try and alleviate farmers that have lost the lot,lots and lots more needed and any donations would help the Aussie communities.


There are many links set up to accept donations including direct bank deposits,please help....even if its only a fiver.

Anyone that has ever been exposed to the speeds of wildfire in our eucy bush will tell you how fast the fire spreads,crowning where the fire jumps from tree top ridges to the next one and the next and so on can have a fire appearing miles away in minutes....I had the experience of driving at 75 miles per hour ( yes MPH) with my wife as a fire outstripped us as it was alongside the road back in the big 80`s fire,yes it is incredible and hard to believe but thats the way it is.

A simple demo with a eucy branch held over a fire will soon show how quick as its virtually an explosion.

--------------------
Get off the chair away from the desk and get out in the bush and enjoy life.
