Exclamation Bush Fires North of Sydney - Any updates????

Just seen on the Beeb news that there are bushfires north of Sydney - I assume that this is the Central Coast? Anyone their give me an update please, have friends in East Gosford, Point Clare, Umina & Woy Woy Little worried as when we lived there the fires could be really bad.

Cheers in advance.

Unhappy Re: Bush Fires North of Sydney - Any updates????

Yikes, a class 3 out at Woy Woy Road, Kariong, used to live a foot step away from there before we came back to UK.

Hope everyone on the Coast are safe.

It seems to have settled in Umina here and we have just had a quick 5-10 min burst of heavy rain. Got a friend staying from Tascot so will let you know later about that end.

That is really good news, I still got really emotional watching it on the news here in Blighty with having lived through a few over in Oz, it really is a scary experience

The smell of smoke is back tonight, cant see any signs of fire in the dark, but the smell means there is something out there nearby. Lets hope its just a burn off.
