I hope you don't mind but I'm going to focus on the bush fires for a while.
As you can see from today's drone shot, the fires went out went they hit the beach and ran out of fuel. The brown colour is burnt forest which would normally be green.
Top right you can just about see our holiday village next to the lake.
Really interesting to see your photos of the damage. It looks as if your house had a narrow escape! The sea is so beautiful. Poor old trees though. :-(
Lovely shot of the beach. A shame for the burned forest. It appears to have stopped at the lake and not made it to your village, but it is small and I could very well be mistaken.
@randystreat thanks for your thoughts Kathy. The Village that you see on the left of the lake was evacuated as the fire approached from the other direction but it was OK in the end. Our village is on the right of the lake and was only saved by multiple aircraft drops of fire retardant. We have terrible high winds today and many fires have restarted....
