well Keezoy?
I have freinds in perth and they think us pommies worry too much
when l e mail them?? Maybe if they lived elsewhere they would have
a different opinion?
They also have the view that the greenies have some responsability
for what is happening now as apparently they pressured the govt
to cancel the prescribed burning laws that were operating at that
time, l think 25yrs ago??
What do you think?

Here is a map as of today. I've ringed Killcare and the closest active fireground in red. So the closest fire is 50 kms away and it's under control. It's on the other side of the Hawkesbury River so hopefully they can stop it crossing. Hope this helps.

Re: Ember Attack!
My brother and SIL live in Canberra but are on holiday at the moment on Heron Island. They are supposed to be going home tomorrow but the airport was closed because of the smoke and their house in the north of the city is on evacuation alert, so no idea what they intend doing...
