The fire has burnt all the way from codes flat to mcevoys and was heading for Mt useful and the springs.
So far i have found out that the Toonbom pub and 4 surrounding buildings were lost,the Toonbom cemerty was also burnt.
The following are unconfirmed but i was told this by a fella who has worked closely with the DSE in the area and they are keeping him updated with phone calls.
Jorganson's hut,Goonans hut,Loyds hut and the newly rebult store point hut have all been burnt.All the work my dad and i have done at the Edwards reef cemerty has been lost,with the help of the DSE and another fella we had new signs put up and a new fence and gate all has been lost.
Im not 100% sure how it started but unconfirmed reports are there were some campers who let their campfire go,also heard that it started on private land when the owner was burning off.
Time will tell how it started i guess.
Im heading up next saturday with my Dad to check things out if we can get in ill take some pics and let you all know how we went.
