As for the rain we haven't had any either and def getting crispy around here now. At least we know now what to do after our evening out at the bush fire presentation.

Will have to get my camera out in the early mornings X

They recommend stuffing something in your gutters to block them and filling them with water to stop risk of fire entering roof. Sprinkling all round outside to damp things down etc etc... see this link for the full patter...
