Hi Terry,
Rob reported yesterday that he and Tanya evacuated with their dogs and that the
fire passed through their property.
So if it transpires that they lost the house, that is sad to hear.
As many of the other staff have houses near the Observatory, then a lot of them
will be personally affected.
Rob came across yesterday as very confident that the AAT would come out fine.

I note on the RFS web site some scrub grass fires under control up your way at
Thunderbolts Mtn and Kings Gap.
