Thanks for your best wishes,
Things are better now, but still large fire fronts.
We packed up our dogs and precious items and clothes and got out on Wed. The best sight I had as I drove down off the Mountains was all the white fire trucks heading up (South Aussies I think)> I lost count. Plus plenty of Sydney Fire Brigades. And knowing Blue Mountains and other RFS were on the job. And Queensland, Victoria, ACT, Tassies (Flown up), WA I think. The support is fantastic.
Wind changes late Wed meant we could go back home.
We can still see smoke nearby, but calmer conditions and lots of firies.
We are going to Melbourne on Friday night for our daughters wedding on Sunday. Did you say cold and wet???
Taking no chances, dogs and special things will be down in Sydney till we get back.
Cheers
Jeff
