    It looks ominous here at the moment, not much precipitation. I'm glad I wasn't travelling through Millicent. I hope all the locals are alright and the road is clear for me to get to Cape Jaffa.

    My advice is: not to follow my advice.

    I saw 6-7 fire truck hurtling down the Calder towards Sunbury today about 8-8:30. Hope everything's ok.

    A couple of weeks ago both sides of town were burning here, one fire alone caused the death of 125 sheep and numerous sheds and fences.

    The following week on the front page of the local rag there is a picture of the blaze with a caption about it being deliberately lit by a fire "bug".

    How endearing the word "bug" seems...It should read arsonist or c*!t. We really need tough laws on arsonist and name and shame/beat.
    In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.

    Should be, it's VERY humid, makes it hard for a fire to burn. Plus everything is still wet from the rain last night.
    I would not be surprised if it is steam rather than smoke that somebody has called in.
