    Well our local fire season has kicked of with a small grass fire in Selby. Still smell the smoke about. On the news at the moment the Salvo`s are saying that for the moment they have enough donations of personal stuff. Just need more cash donations.

    Yep, he's fair dinkum, I'm not on his side of politics , but I respect him, Bob
    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    CFA members swell the fire fight in north | The Border Mail
    Just spoke to our boys up there. They got up to Sydney at 1230am and got to bed at 1am for a 6am start. They have moved around a lot mentioning Springwood and Katoomba. They did some back burning today which started to crown apparently. They are amazed at the conditions and told me that we will never see anything like that around here. Different fuel loads, forests etc. They passed a school where the fire come up a gully and got to the front door of the school. Looking to fly home around Tuesday and possibly look for another crew to go and relieve.

    Abbott has been a highly skilled member of the NSW Rural Fire Service for 13 years. He is a specialist breathing apparatus operator, chainsaw operator and tanker driver.

    Until he became Liberal leader four years ago. he was also deputy captain of the Davidson brigade in Sydney's Warringah Pittwater Rural Fire District.

    For an interesting perspective on the fires and how much has been burnt out, see Australia Fires | Google Crisis Map

    This consolidates information from all states (RFS in NSW) and you can see it in full screen (rather than having the rest of the RFS website around it)

    Interesting images Martyn, where did you source them from?
