Another hot day, another bushfire...

Hey there,
As I am sure you have heard by now, there is a pretty sizeable bushfire buring in the Mt Bold/Kangarilla district. It started at around 6.30pm this evening, and this is how it looked from our house at around 7ish.
We have had a lot of fire trucks rushing past on Chandlers Hill Road this evening. Here is hoping it is under control soon.
I had a look at the CFS website, and it has burnt 1600 hectares since being reported at 6.30 this evening, guess those strong wings are not helping. There was another fire ignited at Prospect Hill (further south), so it doesnt look all that hopeful that it was 'accidental'.

Wow that looks pretty spectacular! ... and scary! I just heard on the radio that they say the Mt Bold fire is now considered to be out, so that's good!
The boxes are gradually being emptied and flattened, and I reckon by this time tomorrow the china cabinet box will be the only one still to do! Hope so anyway!
Dad fired up the BBQ this afternoon and "seasoned" it as required before we cook on it .... maybe tomorrow we might try it out!
Still weary, but that's to be expected! XXX
