The night shift

evening all

evening nowoolies, having a nice scotch on rocks before bed.

Hope things are going well on your side of the continent, except of course for that fire..........

g`day mate
what a hell of a happening down south
would`nt be surprised if it was a deliberate start , so many tossers out there doing that sort of thing
i hope this season is a easy one, fire wise that is
thought you were tortureing your guitar tonight or is that by way of drinking in front of it hahahahah

torture guitar first, then drink to recover :-)

Media reports over here reporting the Minister as saying that Dept Nat Resources thought they'd finished the burn, but wind came up, and fired up embers out of a chimney tree or similar which got out of the fire area and took off.

Hear what you are saying about pyros. I used to belong to Glenbrook/Lapstone volunteer bushfire brigade in the late 70s and early 80s, then left when I moved out of the mountains. A few years later a newer member of the brigade was convicted of arson.

We used to put in a few days and nights every couple of years in the Grose Valley controlling fires that were escaped ha2ard reductions from the adjoining council area.

I don't know what the solution to houses in built up suburbia butting up to bush, and fires in bushland -my brother in law has built a house on a road at Springwood that used to get pretty hot 30 years ago when it was just a dirt track. At least in this house, unlike his last house, there is more than one road in and out.

here's a link to the 4 corners story
