Actually, it's getting pretty serious further south at the
moment:

Is that serious like they are every year, or actually really serious?

If you happen to be in the path of the fire, that's serious
like they are every year. This one in the Blue Mountains is
near to where I was in the motorhome, camping overnight a
few years back. When you wake up to the smell of smoke, the
sound of roaring crackling fires and the sky is blazing
orange at 1 am - it gives you a different perspective.

We managed to get out and down the hills to Penrith and
spent the rest of that night in a side road in an industrial
area. Two days later we were able to drive through again -
miles and miles of charred bush and ash, smoking ruins of
homes.

I was in Melbourne on Ash Wednesday; you don't forget times
like that.

Two years back they came within a mile of home.

So, I don't ever get blase about bushfires here.
Cheers, Alan, Australia
