Clearing away any unwanted growth and rubbish is best done now to keep the situation safe for later on during the Summer.

Oh yeah! The jugs on at my place also.

Thanks Arthur. Will see you down there .................

Don't forget to give me a call too. 0408995635. ☺ we're booked here for a few days end of December but will be around January also http://www.riversedgecamping.com.au/

Will do Justin. I imagine we'll be around your side of the river more than once. Wife's brother lives in Snug.

Mate of mine lives at the caravan park. He has a great life right on the beach. His wife works at the park and he in town. Very relaxing place to live ☺☺ will be good to meet you finally!

Hi Guys,

With the low rainfall over the winter, the warm days forecast, the high winds forecast, and the low humidity, the TFS are now thinking about a Fire Ban.
If anything gets going, life could be frantic. The warmth continues till Tuesday, the BOM says.

We have six firebombers ready to come down and help if needed. I have a feeling we're going to be busy everywhere this year!
