Thread: Warburton. DJ's house???//

Tea Lady?

Anna Maria? What's your plan . Sheeeesh.

Dj's been at his folks place for the last few week. He was over this arvo for a cleansing ale. The young lad has turfed his Mum's car out of the garage and shifted his machinery and gear in there.

I heard DY had scarpered the other day (good move DJ). Tonight I heard there was a fire in Upwey which is a few kilometers from TL.

I hope it passes you both by

Good one DJ Both on turfing your Mum's car out and catching up with Waldo

More seriously, I'm glad to know you are away from the flames. I just hope other people, including Tea Lady, are ok.

Been watching it pretty closely, Dj commented that as he was coming over fire units were rushing towards Upwey.

Smoke was thick as with ash for a while, then the wind changed direction and it was clear and the smoke did a u-turn and blew to the south. As the crow flies, not more than 5km away or so from here.

Can't taste the smoke anymore, waiting for SBS News to see what's going on now.

There's a few up that way, Gumby and Old Picker are two others I can think of.

I'm still around, but with limited net access due to the fact that I'm not at home, as Waldo has indicated. Have shifted a fair amount of my gear to my parent's place a week or so a go as I could see that it wasn't looking good for my area, particularly with the stand of trees behind my place that the shire won't clean up or even let me touch unless I want a fine.

Can say that after the danger has passed and when things have cooled down and as long as my place is still there, I'll be doing some extensive clearing regardless of what the shire or greenies says.

Phew! Thankyou Waldo!

Glad he's well.

DJ? The dog? You got him?

The mill? Got it too?

Tea lady? What are you up too? Anna Maria?

Chris? Much smoke haze in Mooroolbark? Maybe tmmrrw?

No smoke I can smell of at the moment, but we've shut the house up. Don't wanna freeze so I can smell the smoke do you?

Tomorrow arvo is Give me a bell if/when.

Considering she maybe on the run and with no computer, we may not hear from Tlady soon enough?

Tony.

I'm to mooroolbark to check on mum. See you tmmrrw.
Get DJ and Skew over. If their not working.

Can't promise on Skew depends if he's around, if he's on later tonight to get my PM etc. . Dj - if he wants to he's more than welcome. What time would you be around?

We are both thinking of you all.

Whatever your decision - Don't Panic and make sure they rational realistic decisions.

If you haven't got the experience, the physical and emotional capabilities or sufficient equipment then evacuating early should be seriously considered.

A steady head will get you through and remember one day soon all this will pass and you will be reminiscing over an ale or two.

DJ the VL300 do you want me to mind it for you

BTW the Daylesford fire is about 8KM's from the farm heading in the other direction.

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH yes i think persons with common sense would do the fuel reduction burns in the colder weather -- much better idea me thinks.
