Saw on the channel ten news tonight some footage of a current fire in Upwey or possibly Dalesford where a CMP Blitz had been destroyed. Not sure if it was a Ford or Chev but it had a large jib on the rear. The owner was okay. Did anybody else see this report?
The owner was a Matt Leary I believe, I'm pretty sure that was the name they showed.

I missed the channel 10 news but saw a segment on a later one where there was someone who had lost a car collection - but didn't see any CMPs.

I just saw one on the news. It was a Cab 13 but they didn't say which town it was near, just that it was in the latest flareups.

In 1927 Glenburne station Conbanaine Victoria, built new shearers quarters and kitchen. On the 7th of February 2009 (Black Saturday) the 82 years of history went up in smoke.


This is the shearers side were many a tale tail was told and a few cans were drunk .


The cooks side with a slow combustion stove.

On the 27th 0f April 2009 the chimney was donated and moved to my place were after a lot of cleaning of bricks I have rebuilt a fire place worthy of more tall story’s and a few more cans
