Thanks again guys. Fair point Nick. We know we need more trees but on the other hand that's more fuel for the fires as conditions have changed. Can't win. I think it's too late now and we can't do much anyway.

Star jasmine looked like a great contender but that's going to kill me slowly. I need to breathe. I'm starting to lean more towards looking into a hardware solution now rather than an organic one. Maybe some cladding, see through mesh, create a gap between the cover and the brick wall that could act as a flue and circulate air. Gotta think a little harder at the problem. Also thought about tinting the windows. Do some test. It works for a car, why not for a house?

With the fire hazards and alert level on the east coast today it just reminded me to pick up all the dead leaves in the gutters and in the corners. I have to admit I'd be a little worried with a green wall. Stay safe in the blue mountains.
