Thread: Bushfires near Tolmie

Things are starting to get back to normal again.

I am in the final stages of getting the new shed organised, managing to do a bit of woodwork, cutting a bit of firewood and splitting logs for the fire.

Here are some photos taken from our decking on the big day plus a sign just outside Tolmie where they copped it badly.

Unfortunately the fire season isn't over yet but I hope a fair amount of fuel has gone from around you Rob.

A bit more fuel might go soon too Gumby - for milling.

so I went up to Tolmie to drop the youg bloke off at his GFs house for the day.
whilst I was up there I took some photos. I like how quickly the bush begins to renew itself. There are still many smokes rising and yet fungal growth abounds.

one shot shows a plantation of bluegum that got hit. It will be interesting to see if it comes back from the dead.

Grandpad,

You should have dropped in although we dined out tonight at the Tavern.

Drop in any time mate, you know where we are - if Grunt and Ozwinner can find it ........

We could sell the puffballs of as Truffles.

It helped that you were standing out the front.

Theres a good local yarn about a bloke who used to sell hot dogs on Buller in the real early days, out of a cart. When he ran out of dogs he sold the water as soup.

I'll have you know I got very very lost going down your (Alex"s) driveway one dark night. I'd had some...(a fair bit actually) of Alex's elderberry wine... (all right, i was as as a newt) which didnt help matters .

OK so I'll call in next time i'm up that way Thanks for the invite.

And the others in the Great Bike ride thought I was standing out the front to cheer them on.

Sorry but that's what came up on my PC. I guess we are a bit advanced up here.



It's all down hill!

Just released and given to firefighters as a thank you- A DVD of the Victorian fires 2006/7. Very moving to watch and a lot of people really grateful for the effort of firefighters.
