At the moment there are no problems here. As probably reported where forum members are, the count is...131 dead.
Watching the news today of the fire destruction in the Kinglake area, took me back to when I was a child and into my late teens when my family & I used to take day trips for picnics in that very area. In most of the gullies there were treeferns 10 feet tall and water ferns 8 feet across. The bloke that run the general store was a great person, probably long gone now due to age. My wife knows a lady who lives in the area but hasn't heard from for some time but knows she is / was still there. We will try to find out her fate.
Having now learnt of the other nearby towns/villages lost I realised that a number of former workmates from the job I left to move here live or lived in those other places, I will have to check on them.
