Wind change

The wind has changed from sth/east to nth/west, blowing back towards Mt Mary. This is a good thing - it should take the fire back away from us. A large 4km firebreak is being bulldozed through the bush below us, from our place back to the bridge towards Bright. They will then try to backburn right up to the top of the ridge above us.

The fire on the other side, to the west, which has burnt halfway through Mt Buffalo and destroyed the ski lodge complex yesterday, is moving very slowly towards us. This change should also hopefully move it back the other way. And if we do get some rain on Friday we can relax for a bit.
