Fire season looks like it`s off to a bad start in Australia this year.
Attached is a screen shot of the current fires in NSW (around 140)
This is only NSW , Victoria and especially Tasmania have already fires claiming lives.

Shocker. I heard that some were set by vandals. Hope that they tripped and got toasted.

Its been on the news in the UK, mainly the family that had to hide under the jetty to avoid the fire at their house.

I heard it was caused by errant SD riders who had not got rid of the SAS and thus shot flames from the exhaust.

Hope all the Aussie comrades are safe and well.

We had a high temp yesterday of 5C,,,it actualy rained last night melting some of the snow pack,,,,this weekend temp should soar to a high of 10C,,,,roads here are covered with sand ,salt,,,can't keep my truck clean at all,,,all I can say for you guys down there is "store water" drink plenty of fluids and find shade,,
