It's a bit unnerving :eek: and we are not in the midst of it. Good luck to anyone near the danger areas. http://www.flickr.com/photos/11418025@N00/ Caroline Bit concerned about the number of false alarms cropping up. Hope these are not intentional by time wasters or should I say potential life wasters. |

The message came across scrambled and you go - in case it is a turnout. Was only a dash up the road and back. Went past my neighbour inspecting his new fire fighting equipment - he's such a dag. |

Re: Fires in Victoria
Firefighters are on high alert as afternoon winds threaten to fan blazes in Victoria's high-country and Gippsland region. At least 170,000 hectares have been burnt out and the blazes are joining into larger firefronts. The towns on high alert include Whitfield, Tolmie, Rose River and Cheshunt in the King Valley, and areas around Mount Buller and Jamieson. Authorities say fire conditions in the Mansfield area are on a knife's edge. Dargo, Woods Point, Briagolong and Licola in Gippsland are also on high alert. John Cook from the Benambra Country Fire Authority in Gippsland says communities east of the Darling-Cynthia fires are under threat. The figure of 170,000 hectares is difficult to comprehend, so I'll put it into perspective. 170,000 hectares = 420,079 acres. That's the size of Worcestershire. |

We have just been down at Williamstown for a birthday dinner and icecream and there was no sign of the city and only an outline of the Westgate Bridge visible.
