Bernie, Make sure you have your evacuation plan and can take the essentials with you. Remember, your life is more important than your photos. Stay safe.

sent the above image to the local paper. The editor sent me an e mail to advise me that the fire has crossed one of the rural roads to Tilba and heading in the general direction of my place and the Pacific highway. I will be keeping a close eye on this fire, as the bush is very dry and most fields are very brown and dry. Very hard to put a fire out that has lots of fuel. In the last minute or so the wind has got stronger...... :?
