I just had a report from the local CFA that the Kankoona/ Beechworth fire is making it's way solidly up our valley. It is now 20Km from the centre of Mt Beauty and spotting fires all over the valley floor. The temprature is still around 35 degrees but fortunately the wind has dropped.
Looks like this valley has a 3 year fire cycle. 2003, 2006 and now 2009. We are fairly fortunate that our valley has been burnt off so many times it must reduce the ferocity of the fires to some degree.
The cooler weather which has past through Melbourne has again bypassed the North East.
