We slept about 12 hours last night. The CFA were around all night. Backburning is going on at various places up on the ridges. The fires are all burning quietly in calm weather along the ridges and slopes above us south, east and nth/west and west. Until we get rain (none forecast) they'll just keep going and we have to keep on alert which is staggeringly boring. But for the moment, the smoke is not too thick (even some stars last night!) and we're moving out of emergency mode. A nice cuppa in Bright scheduled for this morning.
A small section of the satellite map from last night. The orange line is the firefront (burning steadily but quietly) and the blue arrow points to us - somewhat surrounded.

The Mt Mary fire above us. That's our little house (in the busy metropolis of Buckland) just visible below the fire.

Wow it looks amazing, but I know it wouldn't be. It must be scary but stay calm... I know everything will turn out ok! Love you and see you soon.
