g'day smiddy,
It's pretty hot down here in the south east.
There's a fire raging in National Park about 20k south but it's not smokey here due to a nor' easterly.
Living in the forest, I'm not game to mention the word bushfire.

'The moon was blood red last night.'
That's it, the end of the world is now starting in australia. It's those dam stralians' faults.
Seriously though, hope you've got an escape route planned, if it's needed.

I have some friends that live in Uralla, but I can't remember exactly where it is, hope they are ok.
nevermind, I googled it.
I've been following this in the news recently. So sorry to hear the death toll is now over 100. Please be careful.
Some of these fires were deliberately lit. It's just unbelievable.
Glad you're OK, unclebruce. Take care.

Hi guys.
g'day Satanus,
Australia is the land the bible forgot. If an ol' testament God really wanted to scare someone into obedience, he would have given them eucalyptus trees and threatened bushfire. Part hurricane / inferno, part mini nuclear blasts nothing can stop a big fire. It feeds on itself creating its own all consuming weather system.

Hi purplesofa,
Uralla is in Northern New South Wales, west of the great dividing range and probably in more danger of being flooded.
I guess you have to be tough to live in that "sunburnt land." Hope everyone is OK.
