Leon,
all is well.
It in in bushland but is under control. We got a call-out for 7am tomorrow for it, so there has been no panic attached. Just a call for reinforcements to give the local CFA a break

WIMMERA FIRE DISTRICT
Victoria’s largest current fire began in the Little Desert National Park. The fire burnt up to the national park boundary, but has been contained without significant threat to private property.
Today, the Little Desert fire has burnt more than 7000 hectares of land. Fire fighters will continue containment work overnight.
As a result of strong north westerly winds, smoke from this fire is visible across the state. Residents as far away as Halls Gap may be experiencing smoky conditions.
Strange co-incidence!!! It was only a few days after Last November Snake Valley Camp that we had the Bushfire tear through here and actually surrounded the camp.
Wierd!
