Well the good woman and I are kicking back in Vung Tau at the moment but our minds are well and truly back home in southern NSW Australia with the news that the big bush fires have all but surrounded our small home town. Our home, although we have water frontage, has a large area of Bush right up to the left boundary. We left our 2 cars, boats and camper trailer on a mates property 10ks to the south but as I type the fires are closing in on his place fast. They have evacuated that area. All we can do is wait.

Hate to hear that and I imagine it is very difficult to be here and completely helpless on the situation back home.  Hoping for the best for you.

Not good .   Try the Facebook page “the beagle” .    It covers areas on the south coast , Batemans Bay , Moruya , Narooma etc & further .    I grew up in the area,,it’s shocking what’s happened .

Hard to imagine people are standing in lakes & knee deep in the sea because of fires closing in .


Good luck

Thanks for that but because all phone and internet services are down the last post on there was 10-30 am yesterday.
Have just received word that my daughter has been evacuated, she could see the fires coming down the hills near her house at 2am Australian time east coast.

Well it looks like we have dodged the bullet, through shear luck they have had a few wind changes and calmer conditions so far we have been untouched. Our friends just to the north not so lucky, they have lost everything.
