Hi all, for those who may have been concerned and thank you if you are.
Lisa and I are fine at the moment and should be if the wind doesn't change. It seems that Australia's worse ever fire is being covered world wide and thanks to those who have emailed me to find out the status. If you check out this site, http://www.dse.vic.gov.au/fires/updates/......0%202006 It will show you a map of what is happening and puting the cursor over the flame symbols will tell you about each fire. tragically 138 people have died, 750 homes lost and ten of thousands of acres of land and live stock. Ian and for those who wish to complain, I know there is nothing about magic or escapes in the above info. Bite me!

To answer Doc's question, this morning Ian told me the fires were 5km away, and the wind was blowing away from him. He and Lisa can easily see the smoke from their place.

Thanks, Mick. That's pretty scary. 5km really isn't that far away for a wildfire. I just sent an email off to Jeff Coghlan to check on his family, as well. I hope that all our Aussie friends are safe.

Hi everyone, yes the fire started 5 KM from our place. The fire front at that time was 1KM wide and heading east. The next day the wind turned 90 degrees and the fire front was then 20 KM long. it's all going north at the moment.
Fire fighters are coming in from interstate, New Zealand and our Californian firefighting friends, Whom in the last few years have been kind enough to visit a few times to help out in our dry season. Death toll now is 173 and 35 fire across the state are still going strong. At this time, I have frogotten about the Coghlan's. For thsoe who don't know, Queensland is 62 percent flooded. (Not good when Arthur isn't that tall) Regards Ian

Arthur should be able to escape from Queensland in a barrel. I have not seen anything on the news in the US about the flooding in Queensland, but the last few days there has been a lot on the news about the fires.

The Coglan's are all safe and well. Apparently they are between the fires in the south and the floods in the north.

Ian,
Glad to here your still holding out. Keep your family safe. My thoughts are with you...I'll pray for rain. But only where you are, they don't need anymore water in Queensland. Morgan

It would not surprise me to find that after this is over that the Australians will have found a new way to deal with wild fires that will become the world standard. Their perseverance in the face of adversity is awe inspiring.
