Left home this morning to shoot some birds, will post later, and this was the view this morning around 11am


around 4:30 this afternoon


at the bottom of this mountain there is the village of Tilba. The community of Tilba have been put on standby to move out. Livestock has been moved, kids sent to friends the other side of the inlet and out of harms way. On dark this evening, you could see the flames on the top of the mountain and heading down the hillside towards the Tilba Village from the street outside my home....... I am about 5-7Ks in a straight line from this fire on the edge of town with thick bush on 3 sides....... there is very little wind to night, who knows what tomorrow will be like.

Not looking good Bernie. I hope that it is put out promptly.

It doesnt look good....I hope the wind either stays away or is in your favour. Lets hope that fire is brought under control quickly!

.... thanks....... I am a distance away, the people of Tilba are right under the mountain with some farms about 1/2 to 1k away

...... there was a good rain fall this afternoon, don't know as yet if it was enough to put out the fires but would have helped a lot.... the fire this mornng around 11am was half way down the mountain

Pray for more rain!

Tilba is a beautiful little town and I hope it can be saved.

WOW that is intense! i hope everyone and every thing is ok. Apart from the obvious trees.
