The fire at Dog Rock Rd near Rockley is in Matts area, and being pine forest, stay safe. Hope to catchup at the Steam Fair.

The Minnimbah fire has burnt a lot of pine forest and at least one of the houses destroyed was occupied. It is now behind containment lines but expected to burn at least till the end of the week. The fire in the pine behind My boss Betty's is effectively out but still patrolled. The Minjary fire has claimed a lot of sheep but most cattle seam to have busted out and survived. The Sturgess fire between Batlow and Blowering dam hopefully is contained but I haven't herd much about it.

Just to give some perspective, It was reported last week that there were over 200 fires burning in Australia, caused by lightning.

What's in a name?
Perhaps we should try and get Kevin to change his last name Jan?
Seriously though, from the photographs the Jimmy seems to have survived the fire remarkably well. Years ago I remember looking at a CCKW that had been through a fire which had caused the chassis to sag and the thing that stunned me was that the rear springs were also sagged and curved upwards at the ends. It's hard to imagine the intensity of fire needed to do that. I also heard a story about a fellow out Whittlesea way that lost a collection of Jaguars in the Black Saturday fires of 2009. At least one of the cars had the aluminium engine melted away leaving the crankshaft still in situ. No doubt there are many similar stories. David

Guys, I don't know how you southern folk manage to get up after something like these fires.
The love of the land must be strong.

Stay safe those mlu'ers that live in Gippsland, looking bad over that way.
I still say the RAAF should have a dedicated fire bombing sqn. Instead of giving away our hercs to indonesia and such, they could still have an important role nationally.
