Definately glad i am not down Victoria and South Australia way at the moment
High temps ,high winds always spells trouble for bushfires
Hopefully the predicted cooler change comes through sooner rather than later
Bad news about the family property plushy -hopefully you didnt lose property or stock
Not as bad as the southern states here temps are up to 44c in the shade but very little wind and very little humidity
Haven't even attempted going in to the shed today apart from getting the car out to take the kids to swimming lessons and having a dip myself
Here is a chev temp gauge for Keith (always run cooler than a ford)
