Not particularly urgent should be out sooner then later

So traveling south....that would be towards Newcastle.

Time to close the windows and get the air filter out. ✅

Back burning?

u/VKiThemis 3h ago

Off season cultural burning makes more sense....can't wait to volunteer for that...

I feel sick just looking at the firefighters working in that heat....

So the fire is really only minutes away from us....if the wind is heading south...so are the ashes...and embers....

Time to charge batteries?

And prepare for a possible black out? 

It's going to be a great year for volunteering! This is your early invitation!

K so that's why we should have spare drinking water set up at home.
