The fire should not affect the highway (if the forecast wind direction is anywhere near correct - it will blow away from the highway. It is supposed to rain over the weekend, starting Friday or even tonight, so the driving may not be too flash.

We still have lots of that smoke around here.

Fires in the Snowy River valley are surrounded by CFA tankers and dozers, We can't get at it at the moment, waiting for it to show itself. Lots of dozed control lines cut.

Fires are 10km to the SE from me.

You are welcome to as much of the smoke as you would like.

Had a millimetre of rain overnight, may get more today. Should damp things down a bit, but won't put it out.

John

Rain is good, with some luck you'll get more and maybe even enough to help the farmers west of the Blue Mountains.

The fires near Bangor in SA have been going a month or so and finally look like they may get it out thanks to the rain.

If the RFS website is to be believed, this fire near Dunedoo has not changed its perimeter in the time between its update this morning and lunchtime. Still listed as "being controlled".

We are still waiting for fires in our area-- not that we want them. but the ground is heavy with leaf litter.

So good luck.
