Perhaps 100 homes lost, but we were really very lucky. It could've been so much worse. The natural environment is a mess. It's hard to grasp the sheer scale of the devastation. Thanks for the photos, Chiller. I shall be posting some of Mallacoota a little later. Thanks so much for thinking of me and remembering where I live.

The Snowy mountains has been hit hard in the last 2 days as well as victorian highlands around Bright, Corryong etc. Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10160712689280276620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5119951275142904676.post-19077055483272284172020-01-05T12:58:28.759+11:002020-01-05T12:58:28.759+11:00Devastating - keep safe.Devastating - keep safe.VStar Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13634216576989421497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5119951275142904676.post-56527850117480159512020-01-05T03:57:53.056+11:002020-01-05T03:57:53.056+11:00Sure hope some rain falls soon.

I keep altering my ride route only to discover another area is now burning. I'll hit you up for some ideas when it gets closer. <br /><br />Incredibly hard over here to know what is happening on the ground there. I guess that is probably same for events all over the world we watch on SBS for people from those countries - I just never appreciated it fully.<br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br /> Motorcycle Paradise https://www.blogger.com/profile/13402800735593646123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5119951275142904676.post-74387896076754396812020-01-04T09:05:57.489+11:002020-01-04T09:05:57.489+11:00It is mate.

Makes me smile that the ANZAC spirit is still alive and kicking.<br />Sadly there is no rain predicted at this stage.

I hope she is ok.<br />It has been a bit emotional watching this on tv as a lot of these places I have been to and stay at or passed through there. I feel for the people in these places. Tourists will flee, these places wont recover without tourist dollars to keep them ticking over. So Sad.<br /><br />Cheers mateStevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10160712689280276620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5119951275142904676.post-6559601225724058632020-01-03T10:29:06.481+11:002020-01-03T10:29:06.481+11:00Yes mate it is heartbreaking to see it like this.Yes mate it is heartbreaking to see it like this.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10160712689280276620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5119951275142904676.post-58224944779458220932020-01-03T07:04:18.182+11:002020-01-03T07:04:18.182+11:00I feel pretty emotional seeing the devastation eve...I feel pretty emotional seeing the devastation every night on the news Steve. There's a moto blogger called Sue Hines (Occasional Adventures of Betty) who lives at Mallacoota. She doesn't post much these days and hope that both she and her property are ok. We had hazy skies all day yesterday over the north island of NZ and apparently, dark ash has fallen on the glaciers down south. You guys take good care of yourselves mate.Geoff Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05041523109817248619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5119951275142904676.post-20432899781684548122020-01-02T22:04:31.893+11:002020-01-02T22:04:31.893+11:00truely devastating hoss ..truely devastating hoss ..Bushpighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02062074143710788641noreply@blogger.com
