Fires

[motto]

The annual Picnic at Hanging Rock Car Show which was scheduled to take place yesterday, Sunday the 9th, was put off until a later date due to forecast weather conditions.
There is usually around 2,500 - 3,000 vehicles and 5,000 - 8,000 people attend.
The result of a fire racing through the area on the day like happened at the GHAC event doesn't bear thinking about.

The trouble with fire is even if you are well organised and have an escape plan you can't take everything with you and generations of history gets destroyed.
I hope we all get some rain soon to settle the fire season down as being put on stand by could ruin any plans for Corowa.

Robert,
The ironic thing is that I am coming over there to get away from the rain. It has been incessant since before Christmas. Ground saturated, rivers full, roads breaking up. Luckily the bad flooding is not affecting me, but some places in Somerset have been isolated for 5 weeks. We would gladly send you some rain, but no idea how to get it to you. Hope you stay safe and can get down to Corowa.
regards, Richard
