Ember Attack!
Thought you might like to see this:This burnt gum leaf was in my garden this morning, the nearest fire is 28km away so it shows how far debris can travel - it probably came from the south where the fire is now 30km away and last night there was a strong southerly change that wreaked havoc on the fire fronts.
This leaf was obviously dead when it arrived but it just goes to show. Ember attack can start spot fires several kms down wind of any fire.
The photo was taken on a table on my back patio if you look closely you can see the ash that arrived during the night. I have to wipe/brush my outdoor furniture every morning because of this (and clean the solar panels on my car port).

Re: Ember Attack!
I hope all of our Aussie members will post , when they can, because it is a comfort to know that you are safe.I have friends and family over there & I have to admit that I am disturbed every time I hear the news.... I just have to remember that they probably have more important things to deal with at the moment, than to keep me informed!
