so spent from 12pm last night till now fighting a brushfire some inconsiderate person lit.

have only had 1 hours sleep in the last 48 hours.

attached are pics to show the country we are working in.

we have got the fire contained now but it is still a couple of days work patrolling and moping up.

it has slowed with the cold and given us a chance to have a snooze. and recover.

2 of teh pics were taken from our verandah.:2tsup:

the other 2 are our back burn lines blacking out around a house.

Dear Carl,

According to the BOM, it's going to be fine and sunny with light winds today, but showers should start developing tomorrow, with proper rain hopefully on Tuesday.

Good Luck with it till then...

Best Wishes,
Batpig.
