Now that's a good new year gift. Glad to hear. Oh, and I finally heard on national news about the fire a few minutes ago. Good luck with the clean up or what ever has to go on now.

nothing bad? a hundred plus people lost their homes. *wonders if G was being sarcastic*

lots of fire related injuries puddy. No one died, except there was a fireman on the way home from fighting the fire and he died

Fires ain't over anyway....the rain was just the tiniest sprinkle where I'm at....and a new fire just started today..which cause the cinema i just saw LOTR at to be evacuated

neith what are you talking about? That rain was only a SMALL drizzle, you couldn't even call it rain - it was just sprinkling for a short period of time. The fires are still as out of control now as they ever were. Did you not hear on the news last night that they said ALL the fires except 3 had broken their containment lines? There are still over 80 burning out of control. I don't think the major crisis is over yet, you might want to get your facts straight before posting.

well on new years day morning it really looked like things might have been improving then the wind shifted again and one of those !@@#$$%%%^ firebugs started a major fire in pennant hills park only five miles from my place - i got a great view
i didnt need of the waterbombing and smoke and spent a lotta time yesterday praying it would not cross the ridge line !!! UGH!!!AAARGH

sigh keep up the prayers for rain and add a request they start these fire bugs soon - having maniacs go around restarting fires doesnt not help !!!

Neith, I've been praying for you and your friend, and will continue to do so. Were you ever able to get in touch with your friend with the farm and the puppies that she was going to raise to shepherd her herd [goats, sheep was it?]. I hope things get better fast for all of you. Take care.

Can't you (well, not *you*, but someone in charge) do that fire lighting thing, where you light a fire, like... infront of the fire, and then the original fire won't go past the fire line you made. You know?

back burning? yeah, but a) it doesn't always work and b) it's not always possible to do that. The fires are so big and change direction so quickly, that it's hard to predict where to do the backburning, if it's even possible to do it at all. When it in such a dense urban area (16km from the CBD!!!) it's a big risk, too.
