What's the temperature where you are???

Do you have some place to go if it gets too close? Some safe area away from the fire?

Yeah we will just head south. That is the problem of living in the bush, as beautiful as it is, it can bite you on them bum sometimes

Like my house or your house maybe? That might be far enough! She'd freeze at yours and drown at mine! Good luck @Oz chic !

49F and Rain. Pineapple Express rain. It's weird how warm it feels!

Thanks, think either would be great right now.

it is a scary situation to be in, especially when you read this “You need to understand that a CATASTROPHIC fire RATING means that we believe that NO HOME could withstand a fire in these conditions.” in the warnings.

Our air quality here yesterday was way off the charts, well into the 2000’s and was way worse than areas in the fire ground, my daughters showed me her car when she got home from work, it was covered in ash.


Is currently 19 (66.2f) @ 8.15am and it is climbing fast, we are expecting 43c (109.4) and gale force winds.

I will try to keep you all updated throughout the day, but with the gale wind, they are predicting power outages, so i will see I will see how we go.

32c (89.6f) @ 9.45am huge jump in the space of hour and Half.

Thermometer in my back yard reads 40c (104f)

So far so good, just got notice of where our evacuation centre is - Both comforting and scary at the same time.

wind is starting to pick up now,

current temp is 40c (104f) outside thermometer reads 44c (111.2)

can’t have the air conditioner on, as it is sucking in the smoke from out side so just basic fans for now.
