Hi Phil,
I think they are OK at Pilliga Pottery. This is the latest posting on their Facebook page (from 21 hours ago):
Still here! Quieter fire conditions (cooler weather and less wind) over the last couple of days have meant slower fire development, although both fires are still expanding and remain a real danger if conditions worsen. The whole team has been working like trojans to prepare the pottery and homestead ahead of expected hotter conditions towards the end of the week. Huge thanks to Anna, Nena, Yukari, Helene, Laura, Kai, Max, Ryan, and Jaap for their amazing efforts thus far! Massive thank you as well to Amy and Christian, who tore themselves away from us to swan off to New Zealand for an admittedly well-earned break - we miss them already! And a big shout out for the RFS and their volunteer support crew - true heroes operating under very difficult conditions (we include Johannes and Bernhard in this list, as they've been firefighting as well as helping out here). We'll keep you posted as we can. Cheers from the Pilliga Pottery Family (Maria, Regina, Johannes, Bernhard and Julie).
