Thread: Gippslands burning again

It looks pretty hefty when you zoom down on the Sentinel site

Sentinel Hotspots

There's a heap of smoke blowing south over the Prom.

from what i've been told, i have lost my back yard, front yard, my camper trailer burnt to the ground, i can't get back to my home to see the damage. All i know is they saved my shed which is our house at the moment as we are about to build there. I'm so glad the wife and kids got out just in time, it started about 200m from our place. Why would some ****er want to do this, what are they achieving by setting bushland and peoples homes and lives on fire.
I will head bak up tomorrow and see if i can get in, if not will see what i can do to help the community out.

That's not good. Hope all is well when you do get back to the block and they catch the rotten sod that lit everything.

apparently they got 2 people yesterday, that were later released, but have now been charged.well thats what i heard.
Yeah its pretty nasty up there, we stayed at a friends in town last night, but had to get the kids out this morning as the smoke had settled in on the town and was very irritable.
It all started at the Liar bird walk which is about 200m from us, its very frustrating not knowing how bad it is at our place.
I guess i'll have a new thread now for the projects section when i build a new camper. Pity is this one was like new

Hope and pray all is OK ...

saw the smoke from the Endeavour Hills fire tonight on the way home ..... wouldn't be surprised if that was deliberate too.

Thanks for the link Werdan. I have been trying for days to find this site. (Forgot the name.)

That looks close to rovercare's area. Not to far from the old man either!

Bugger hope the damage isn't to bad.
Hope your insurance is quick to help out also Sleepy

Fire is my biggest fear for our place. Dropped a couple more trees this month and you can hardly tell where the gaps are.

Still about 20km from the old man's so should be OK - fingers crossed.
Rovercare is in South Yinnar (according to his profile) so that is very close!
