There are fires everywhere and smoke everywhere.........Sofar the closest is about 50miles, but if the wind changes that means nothing. i so feel for all those poor people who lost their homes in southern/central victoria. we live just over the border form Victoria. there is a 60,000 acre fire at Beechworth, which is where we always walk our dogs after dog training. It will be a living hell. we did go dog training and could see all the big towers of smoke. our place is smoked out also. Cross your fingers the weather will cool down soon. all those wonderful fire men and women
