Right, we arrived home yesterday. The fires look like they're pretty much out
but there's still a lot of work being done to take care of hot spots and
prevent flareups. Today I've seen a steady procession of planes and
helicopters dropping purple fire retardant (thanks Aussies).
The hills look horribly scarred. The forested areas don't look too much
different at first glance but closer inspection shows vast tracts that are no
longer green. The firefighters did well to keep it away from the denser
residential areas. I saw one empty spur where it'd burned almost all the way
to the bottom.
Once the tracks are opened again I'll see if I can go exploring with a camera.
For now my body is too battered and sunburnt anyway.
Cheers,
Dave

I think David means a couple of kilometres ~away~ from the bottom of the
hill, not ~up~ from the bottom. Otherwise he'd be a lot less relaxed.
Yes, that's right. Sorry for the confusion :)
We do know some people who live in an area that was evacuated but they're also
away on holiday. As far as I'm aware their place wasn't under immediate threat.
