    Be careful and run when they say run
    If you don't care where you are, you are not lost.

    Luckily not in a typical bushfire zone. Would mostly just have to deal with ash & embers worst case.

    My little street survived the New Year's eve fire but I evacuated for the firestorm that was supposed to happen 2 days later. My neighbours stayed until they lost power & they then moved to the lawn bowls club down the road which was also a station for the fireys. They RFS a super job & halted the 2 fires that threatened our area. I heard later a number of them lost their houses as they all live in the sticks out here. Cruel irony.

    I've only just returned home after being away for a week & everything is covered in fine ash. Power & internet is finally back. How long for I don't know. We are a small section of the south coast between Moruya & Narooma that hasn't been scorched. Hoping we stay that way. Wev'e got a 30 degree day forecast for Friday & a fire 32klms away. So over these bloody fires !

    Good stuff, there has been lots of media coverage over here. Hopefully people will start donating more to help those that need it most.
