Our end of the state is dealing with devastating fires & our fire season hasn't begun yet. For the first time ever our island has put out an emergency contingency plan ~ not that I think it will be very useful in the event of... We learnt last year that once the main road gets cut no~one is going anywhere! At least the wind seems to have dropped out.

I always worry about the animals in the event of an emergency. We have 10 chooks & 2 cats we'd have to get out. I really need to invest in a decent sized dog crate.

The girls are loving the warmer weather @ present. Up early & lots going on. Plenty of other birds in & about our yard because we have water! So dry every where.

What will you do if the worst happens? Is there a boat you can put them all on and then head out?

Hope you are doing ok with the bush fires Ribh. Just the smoke can make one feel on edge.

I'm wishing hard for rain up there!

Two options I think: The first is to get everyone onto the point which has a small bare area ~ slightly larger @ low tide. I wouldn't want to have to do it. The 2nd is get the lad to take us off in his boat ~ but that could be dodgy with the tides & timing. We've only ever had one fire go through our place & it stayed low in the ferns & moved fairly slowly. I'd hate for anything to actually get in the tree tops!

Thanks ACM! We're getting some haze but no smoke. Sadly Binna Burra went today. The lodge was heritage listed & it is gorgeous rainforest area with several species of bower birds. Sad.
