We haven't had so much as a whiff of smoke here, so we do feel very lucky, and were shocked to learn of the fires in Bendigo, about an hour away from here, and in other areas, and that Marysville in the lovely Yarra Valley has been wiped out. Loss of property is bad enough, but at least 25 people are dead; so tragic.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13824126591143927077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222786315881803285.post-89098887511351457212009-02-08T16:43:00.000+11:002009-02-08T16:43:00.000+11:00Yesterday was just amazingly terrible, and unfortu...Yesterday was just amazingly terrible, and unfortunately the cool change did not help the situation much; the wind made the fires change direction.
