1am

Fire down at the road seems to be under control now. Fire above house burning strongly, but without wind is moving only very slowly our way - is now about 200mtres from house. Should reach the firebreak just above the house sometime during the night. Don't expect embers to be a problem. Smoke thick so can't see much else.

Earlier this afternoon facing towards the road - before the wind moved back from the south and thick smoke obscured everything once again. That's the house bottom right.


The fire down at the road a short while ago.


The fire to the west finally shows itself just above the house after threatening for more than a week.


The fire above the house close up - I wasn't there for long!
