This has been a horror season so far. We have been much luckier down South, but fires seem to be far more common than seasons past. The air pollution in Sydney has been horrendous due to the fires apparently.

as it stands, we could get an inch of rain over night and it wouldn't do a thing to the fires.

time to batton down the hatches. embers are now lighting spot fires. got the sprinklers going on the yard closest to the house for the next day or two. it's amazing how nice it was this morning with the westerly wind. in about twenty minutes time, it shifted easterly and the area is back to covered in smoke. a couple of our employees was working the local mine and they booted them off the property, and are in full fire mode. there is an out of control grass fire within a half mile of where i work. it started shortly after we finished for the day. before the night is over, we will cross the 400,000 hectares burnt mark.
