Evacuation

Well that got your attention!
Well no it didn't really happen - false alarm luckily. But we had the cars packed. So a bit of late night drama to keep things interesting. All's calm today - but everyone a bit edgy because the weather's bad and the fires still not contained in our area. Very much worse further sth/west poor things.

The morning after. Smoke cleared. No wind. Quiet brekky. The reason the locals are so twitchy (and several have moved out for the time being) is that if the fire does arrive, access out of the valley will be cut off and there's no getting out - or emergency vehicles getting in. So leaving early seems a good option.


Those very observant might notice the red UOW parking sticker still on the car windscreen from last year.
