I'm a long way away from all of this tragedy and devastation but I've been close to bushfires before and they terrify me.
The recent rains we had up here have increased the fuel load out in the paddocks something dreadful, so I've spent the last 2 weekends on the slasher and whipper snipper trying to create a buffer around my dwelling.
The problem is that you can't fight floating embers on the wind - they're like an insidious fifth column that infiltrates your defences.
Hope all of you in Victoria and NSW take lots of care and take every measure you can to fire proof your properties.
I've read about enough people tragically losing their lives in this terrible time - I don't want to read about any more, especially from this forum!!!
