The last update on wind change was a bit out. The fire from Mt Mary has indeed slowed, but the fire above us (on Goldie's Ridge) is now coming down with the change towards us - though very slowly at this stage. This is the fire that has been simmering for a week and that ripped through Mt Buffalo yesterday. The firebreak is in fact above us all the way along the forest line to the bridge. No-one has any idea when it will arrive here, just gotta wait.
Inevitably, a short while ago the dozer took out the phoneline to the valley, and the Mt Beauty fire 20kms to the nth/east has taken out the mobile tower - so thank heavens for my satellite dish!!
The dozer above our place starting the long firebreak, 4kms to the bridge (just before taking out the phoneline).
