Hi Morton, thanks for that information, I just had a look at the RFS website. I take it your talking about the Bowman River Road Grass fire (more than 12kms south of Bretti). That fire is listed as under control and the size was only 1 Ha. We still have 12 days to go till we plan to head up there.

General info: Bretti Reserve is regularly slashed and is also used from time to time for cattle grazing by stock from the station next to it. Bretti does not have tree cover (other than a shade band along the river). I've not heard of there ever being a fire at Bretti and it's a very popular place with caravaners as it's a free camp, so there are usually other people there as well. When we were last there in early September, there was no evidence of a fire in recent years. Obviously no fires are allowed in Bretti in the present situation. There are many cattle properties between Gloucester and Bretti and the area is well looked after by the stations and residents.

I will keep an eye on the RFS website to see what going on with that grass fire.

Certainly, compared to the situation in recent days in the Blue Mtns, and what is expected there in days to come, there is little to be concerned about at Bretti (in 12 days) at this time. I will keep this thread updated should the risk profile change.
