Gary;
Yes, those fires were very much in the news here. There were lots of prayers
said for you all. It's good to hear that you & your family are safe.
Regards, Neil Tucson, AZ

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
