Was just watching the news and there is a number of fires in the Bunyip SF atm so it will be good to get out there and have a look in a few weeks time. The CFA were expressing their disapproval of the closed tracks and the lack of maintenance on them.

The fire is believed to be deliberately lit, it is from Andersons to Gentle Annie area. May hit Powelltown or Larby tommorrow depending on weather. Was good to hear that Andy from Dse has already put the call out to 4wd clubs to assist in the clean up once the fires end.
This could actually be good for us. Dozers have cut new tracks in the area and all the firebreaks are believed to 3 cars wide.

Lets hope the fires stop and no one gets hurt.
