Help arriving
A convoy of fire fighting trucks arriving today from interstate Victoria, to assist with the large (UPDATED AM 4/12 no-w >47,000 ha) bush fire, currently out of control, just 10 km or so from our residence. At a public briefing today, the Rural Fire Service speaker said “We can’t stop this fire. It is so dry out in the bush, it will keep jumping over our control lines.” He added that only good rain (we're in a drought) can stop it totally. Meanwhile, there also are many aircraft assisting with control. (see PiPs for more images). The official Rural Fire Service site, showing this and other fires is tinyurl.com/y9ox63jq .
My lovely wife Pauline has resumed oncology treatment this week, following an operation several weeks ago. With that and the fire (and the possibility that we may have to move away for safety), it seems probable that I shall be a very irregular visitor to ipernity for a while. [UPDATE AM 4/12 We are packing and shall be leaving later today, hopefully to make a return soon]
