wes
those fires I suspect they made the news over there ? worst fires in my 
experence ever and I've been in the business of fire fighting and protection 
for many years  Canberra is my home town  actually I live on a rural 
property spme 30 miles away  560 homes and properties destroyed and 6 lives 
lost I spent 9 days fighting them just back a few days  I lost some fences 
and sheds  but other wise ok  typical conditions our worst drought ever  
tinder box dry temps between 100 to 112 deg winds of 50-70 mph humidity less 
than 5%  they are still burning in there 3rd week now  but not near us any 
more oh the fire front reached a length of several hundred miles at one 
stage. This has put back my attempts this year but at least my family and 
home are ok thank God
Gary
