I hope MB is OK.  We haven't heard from her in a while.

Its strange that the picture shows smoke coming from the south of the west coast yet the article talks about fires in Tasmanian, South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales. All those places are in the south east and east of Australia  :dunno:

Not heard anything lately about problems with fires from my brother who lives about 100 miles to the north of Sydney so I assume he and MB are OK

I guess what they are saying is there are fires everywhere and the only pic they had was from the western area.
